“Bring Nancy Pelosi out here now. We want to hang (her). Bring her out."

Sounds like the kind of harmless free speech anyone might say while “touring” the capitol.

Someday justice will come to you too, Donald.

“Bauer has used “sovereign citizen” extremist rhetoric and filed “nonsense" court documents while defending herself, prosecutors said.

She had claimed the court has no authority over her and told the judge that she doesn’t want “any lawyering from the bench.”

Of course, one of those. And no, ‘freedom of speech, first amendment’ doesn’t allow making death threats or incitements to violence.

You mean, screaming death threats against a public official while rioting is not protected speech????

Looks like she gets to spend some time with Bigo in the slammer.

“Don’t need any lawyering from the bench.” Thats just a stupid thing to say.

Ray Epps made her do it.

In light of her behavior, both during and after the insurrection, more fitting caption for that open-mouth, slack-jawed , 20-yard stare photo would be “Stupid is as stupid does.”

I don't think the charges are particular to threatening Nancy Pelosi. In general, threatening to kill someone will get that person arrested and charged post haste. It is a crime regardless of whom is the object of the death threat.

About 1,000 down, about 1,000 to go including the insurrectionist in chief.

Hopefully the few sane Republicans left now realize this is what's become of their party - violent far-right extremists that want to hang their politicians, shoot up FBI offices, and assault senior citizens with hammers...

But it goes even beyond that - they want to replace our democracy with a perverted version of a white Christian Nationalist theocracy where leaders are anointed, one religious-themed party rules, and women, people of color, and LBGTQ are treated as sub-human.

In other words, they want a Christian version of Afghanistan under the Taliban...

“They’re criminals. They need to hang,” she screamed. “Bring Nancy Pelosi out here now. We want to hang (her). Bring her out."

Normal tourist behavior!

Who amongst us has not gone on a sightseeing tour and not shouted death threats!

Imagine they would arrest all the people that called for the killing of Trump, the prisons would be filled to the max.

You're right. The most dangerous threats to the US are drag queen story hours, transgender athletes, and Disney.

Prove it!

(1) White supremacists and other far-right-wing extremists are the most significant domestic terrorism threat facing the United States.

200 rioters and looters from Jan 6 were imprisoned. Many more to come.

Your Imagination running riot and actual criminals running riot are quite different!

2 yrs isn't enough. The prosecution's recommendation was correct - 6+ yrs. With just 2 yrs, she'll be out and walking the streets in 12 months. That's unacceptable. This woman is why I don't think convicted felons should regain their citizen rights like voting.

To little children, absolutely.

So glad you asked!

Every law enforcement organization disagrees with you and agrees with Wallace.

Condolences.

Preach brother!

We're tired of this narrative that far-right militias, Neo-Nazis, and white supremacists are somehow "dangerous" - they're all just regular, peace-loving, Yanni-listening Americans.

Patriotic citizens know what the real deadly threats to our country are; Bud Light, Target, and Disney.

Yes indeed, a beer, a department store, and an animated figure are much more of a threat to us than crazed mobs rampaging through our Capitol putting 140 police officers in the hospital and threatening to hang our Vice President.

I'd feel much safer having dinner with a Proud Boi or Neo Nazi than I would Mickey Mouse.

That's why I'm voting for our former President - he knows that too...

Thank God people can smell the stench and are waking up to farce and myth that the FBI tries to pass off as facts.

According to a new poll by Harvard CAPS-Harris, 70% of respondents said that they were either very or somewhat concerned about interference by the FBI and other intelligence agencies in elections. Further, 71% agreed that changes post-2016 had not done enough to prevent further interference and that “wide-ranging” reform was still required.

Ah, so it's law enforcement that is the real problem. From the "law and order" crowd no less.

That is pretty stupid.

It's actually a case of "laws for thee and none for me."

White nationalists and their apologists love accountability until it is they who are held to account.

A link from "The unherd" lol.

more like a bleat from the heard.

Hearing that from liberals is the joke of the century. Lol

Like our two-tier Justice system to go after conservatives and bypass liberals for the same offenses

White nationalists and their apologists love accountability until it is they who are held to account. 

And in the meantime, don't pay attention to the gangs, drug cartels, and everyone else that is non-white, just ignore it

A link from "The unherd" lol. 

Ahh, do we have to take the word from only sites that liberals approve of? Lol

A frank admission - consistent with their defending violent right-wing terrorists who sent 140 Capitol Police Officers to the hospital on Jan 6th...

From the "law and order" crowd no less. 

Hearing that from liberals is the joke of the century. Lol

Unlawful and disorder is the new MAGA-Repub core value. Just ask MTG or Boebert...

Typical faux-victimization..."we're poor victims"...

White nationalists and their apologists love accountability until it is they who are held to account. 

And in the meantime, don't pay attention to the gangs, drug cartels, and everyone else that is non-white, just ignore it

And the daily playing of the race card....

"The Unheard" is clearly heard in Moscow....likely written there too...
