While leftist Antifa thugs get to burn down whatever they want and see no jail time --

this poor guy - who wanted to save the muffins and openly stated he didn't want any destruction or theft of property - his life was destroyed.

Well - It is crook Nancy's house. right?

Watching Tucker this evening… be proud, all of you supporters of the Jan-6 lies!

Sunlight is the Great Disinfectant. That Jan 6 committee wouldn’t recognize the truth if they tripped over it and it it them on their sorry asses. Contemptible!

Sprezzatura म्हणाले...

So now we know that Jan 6 was just the guy with a horned hat being led by police to the chamber so he could do some jabbering.

The truth is final known.

Truth!

Well, well, well. Take some Dramamine quick. The CNN and MSNBC spin on this will be absolutely dizzying.
Actually, since the tape doesn’t fit the narrative, the MSM guys may have to CGI their way out of this.

I'll be curious to see how much this is reported in, say, the NYTimes or the WaPost.

Achilles म्हणाले...

So they are all aiding, abetting and entrapping.

Nancy and her staff planned this event.

J6 is going to fall apart just like the Sicknick blood libel and Russian collusion.

Every Republican that attacked the J6 protesters should resign, abjectly apologize and literally kiss their feet on the steps of congress, or be forced out of the party.

Lyle म्हणाले...

Haha... wasn't he prosecuted?

The coverage worked to get the left the mid-term control of the Senate. Mission accomplished.

Good to see this story finally getting aired. I've know about it for over a year. Now maybe the truth can come out about Ashli Babbitt's murder and the cover-up of the identity of the coward who murdered her. No trial for him nor even a reprimand. Just a pat on the back and "well done." Was she escorted to her place of murder along with the others?

Now we wait. They'll say the videos are "edited." That Tucker Carlson is painting a "narrative."

Then more videos will emerge, showing Ray Epps suiting up. Undressing from his FBI uniform, and getting into his "patriot" gear.

By the time we get down to the murder of Ashley Babbitt, even Democrats will be turning on the FBI, demanding Church inquiries.

Chuck म्हणाले...

He pled guilty.

His lawyer argued to the court that Chansley had a long history of severe mental and psychological problems. That lawyer is the guy who suggested that many of the J6 defendants were "the short bus people."

After he was sentenced, Chansley expressed a desire to appeal, and requested a new lawyer. Then, he gave that up.

Last I heard he was awaiting assignment in the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

cfs म्हणाले...

The January 6th committee lied. About everything!

There are judge, prosecutors, and politicians who need to be disbarred, and even jailed themselves for what they have done. The committee not only withheld the truth from the American people, but they deliberately lied about all the evidence. We are not supposed to have a justice system such as this in America. And, to make it worse, most BLM rioters were released with no punishments for their actions over the summer of 2020. Political prosecutions are NOT supposed to happen here!

The prosecutors withheld exculpatory evidence from the defense in the Jan 6th cases. And, they knew they were doing it. Defense attorneys should be filing motions to set aside the indictments, any convictions, and any guilty pleas based on deliberate malfeasance by the prosecution. No wonder they panicked at the thought of Tucker Carlson obtaining the video footage of that day.

Dear corrupt left, go F yourselves म्हणाले...

That footage also reveals MSS(D) press is a sham. Top to bottom.

Drago म्हणाले...

We are seeing just why it is the radical lefties and dems, like LLR-Democratical Chuck, were panic posting today and peddling more of their non-stop lies about "insurrection-y insurrection insurrectionists of the Highest Order!!!".

Looks like gadfly and LLR-Democratical Chuck and readering and Dumb Lefty Mark amongst others are going to have to explain how it is that Officer Sicknick was seen in quite good health on video long after he was said to have been bludgeoned to death by the horrific Qanon Shaman-types.

But they won't. They'll just revert to all their other previous debunked lies and smears that LLR-Democratical Chuck proudly told us he would spread to attack conservatives.

Steven म्हणाले...

Every Republican who has refused to denounce the the injustices perpetrated against the January 6 protesters need to be ousted. They all had to have known the truth and they allowed Pelosi & Co. to pretend there was an insurrection. They--the Democrats and way too many Republican--wanted to use the January 6 demonstration to destroy Trump. They engaged in a coup agains the legitimate president. If they were willing to sacrifice this many innocent and patriotic people to destroy Trump, why should we not believe that they would commit election fraud?

Yeesh!

"BREAKING: Never before seen video of January 6 shows Jacob Chansley, the QAnon Shaman, being led through the Capitol by police the entire time that he was in the building."

No wonder fits were had by the Democrats and their media operatives when they learned that Tucker was going to get hold of the video. "It's going to damage the legtemacy of the prosecutions" was one gem I heard. Well, yeah! They should be damaged.

tommyesq म्हणाले...

The video shows two capital police escorting the so-called shaman through several areas of the Capital, opening doors for him, talking calmly with him, seeming to be very comfortable with him being there and going where he went. A significant amount was just him and the two policemen - he was not leading a mob looking to overthrow the government.

Was this video available to him at his trial, and if not, shouldn't that be grounds for a successful appeal?

I'm not a lawyer, obviously. But I'm willing to stipulate (on the penalty of being called out wrong) this piece of evidence could have aided his defense. The government had exculpatory evidence and sat on it?

There should either be a new trial, in which this evidence is included, or Shaman should walk a free man. He is a political prisoner in my book.

Things the red states knew years ago; things the blue states are just now being allowed to know:

J6 was not a violent riot
Covid came from a lab in Wuhan

Hunter Biden's laptop shows corruption in the Biden family.

Funny how the stupid rubes in flyover knew what was happening while Harvard got it wrong.

Things the red states know now but the blue states aren't allowed to know yet:
Defund the police/bail reform is harming the black community far, far more than any other but the suburbs are not allowed to know this and support the Dem programs and politicians thinking they are being allies to the back community.
Open borders are allowing 100,000 people a year to be killed by fentanyl, a very large number of them middle-aged whites in pain and unable to get pain-killers.

It is unacceptable the Biden Justice Department did not provide Jacob Chansley (Buffalo hat guy) with this critical exculpatory evidence.

It is even more unacceptable Judge Royce Lamberth did not order it.

Then sentenced him to 41 months in prison.


But don't worry, they wouldn't lie to you about anything else. Lindsay Graham thinks that this man should rot in prison for being escorted around the building by Capitol Policeman, but he also thinks that Ukraine and Taiwan *both* will "fight to the last man" for his neocon friends.

MountainMan म्हणाले...

The really funny video was the one that was shown in the committee hearing of Josh Hawley leaving the Capitol, trying to sell the story that he ran away as quickly as he could, all alone. Everyone in the audience in the hearing room laughed at him. The full video shows Capitol police guiding and escorting a group out of the Capitol and Hawley lagging behind, being the very last one to leave. Selective editing to make him look like a fool. That's pretty low.

Jaq म्हणाले...

Apparently, if Buffalo Shaman had had enough money to pay lawyers to look through the 16,000 hours of tape, he could have found that footage himself, since he did have a right to discovery, but the prosecutors didn't offer this evidence to him as potentially exculpatory, and he didn't have the money to pay to have the footage combed through.

The sad reality of western politics today is that, in order to publicly call yourself a liberal, you first must reject all liberal values. I doubt your average “liberal” could even name a liberal value.

Jaq म्हणाले...

"The chopped-up Tucker video really only shows that a couple of Capitol cops (out of hundreds) may well be MAGAts participating in the coup from outside the law."

Of course the video presented by the Democrats with no adversarial process allowed to exist, even though an adversarial system of justice has been the hallmark of the United States for 200 years up until then, is not "chopped up."

Jaq म्हणाले...

"The guy had counsel. The video was not exculpatory"

That's all prosecutors had to say to force him to find the funds to comb through 16,000 hours of video. Justice is dead in America. The video is not exculpatory in the eyes of people who long before his trial decided that he was guilty, that is true enough. There is far too much Democrat prestige invested in his guilt to allow such a thing as evidence that he was a non violent protester get in the way of railroading him.

The Reichstag Fire was used to strip all protections of the accused, and led to the creation of the Gestapo. Lots of "good Germans" went along with it, too.

BIII Zhang म्हणाले...

"It worked, didn't it?" - Harry Reid

Yes, Democrats and the FBI cooked up a fake insurrection, all to discredit Trump supporters. It worked. That's the country you live in. That's the government you have.

The problem with the American people is that they WON'T insurrect. And Democrats know it. They're not even trying very hard to hide it.

Jaq म्हणाले...

My favorite justification by the Democrats so far is that the proof that the protesters killed Officer Sidnick, is that a doctor opined that the stress of his job that day could conceivably have led to a stroke a week later. Not "beyond reasonable doubt" but "possibly." But "beyond reasonable doubt" is another standard that has been flushed by Democrats, along with attorney client privilege ("Oh, that doesn't apply to anything Trump related!") and demands that the press use the word "alleged" for unproven crimes.

Jaq म्हणाले...

We should all vote for Chuck's preferred candidate because we are the "short bus people" and should, in the future, leave political questions to our betters, like McConnell and Schumer, and yes, that sterling example of rectitude and steady hand at the tiller of state, Joseph Robinette Biden.

Douglas B. Levene म्हणाले...

Let’s be honest here. They weren’t “escorting” him, at least in the photos I saw. They were following him, apparently reluctant to arrest him because they were surrounded by a few thousand maniacs who had already assaulted a bunch of cops in breaking through the police lines. Should they have arrested him anyway? I don’t know, it’s hard to judge that in hindsight.

Tucker confirms that our "leaders" are corrupt and shameless frauds.

This is not new, by the way. I recall seeing cell phone video of Chansley wandering through largely empty halls and speaking, oddly but politely, with security officers. It was apparent long ago that he was a friendly but mentally ill oddball.

They used him and crushed him. He got 4 years by pleading--they were going to put him away for 20 years.

Left Bank of the Charles म्हणाले...

This is the paragraph from Jake Shanley’s plea agreement covering what is shown in this video:

“The defendant then left the Gallery and proceeded down a staircase in an attempt to gain entry to the Senate floor. There, the defendant once again encountered Officer K.R., who again asked him to leave the building. The defendant insisted that others were already on the Senate floor and he was going to join them. Officer K.R. then followed the defendant on to the Senate floor.”

This video does show that after the rioters gained entry, the Capitol Police effectively surrendered the building to them. Tucker Carlson isn’t showing footage of how Jake Chansley got into the building, which Tucker only describes as “disputed to this day.” As I understand it, he is alleged to have climbed scaffolding and pushed past a line of police to gain access.

Big Mike म्हणाले...

Dang - I wonder how many of those police were fired or killed or suicided?

@Hunter Biden's tax payer funded Hooker, none were fired, however I believe that a total of four members of the Capitol Police unexpectedly committed suicide in the days immediately following the January 6th event. Whether they were “helped” by other government agents cannot be known at this time.

wendybar म्हणाले...

“Congratulations to Tucker Carlson on one of the biggest “scoops” as a reporter in U.S. history. The New Surveillance Footage of the January 6th Events sheds an entirely different light on what actually happened. The Unselect Committee was a giant SCAM, and has now unequivocally been stamped as CRIMINAL FABRICATORS OF THIS MOST IMPORTANT DAY. Pelosi & McConnell failed on security. The Police story is sad and difficult to watch. “Trump” and most others are totally innocent, LET THEM GO FREE, NOW!” Trump said.

“Great courage shown by Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy in releasing the surveillance footage to Tucker Carlson so that our Country, and indeed the World, can see what really went on during the January 6th events. A whole new, and completely opposite, picture has now been indelibly painted. The Unselect Committee LIED, and should be prosecuted for their actions. Nancy & Mitch were a disaster on Security. Thank you Kevin and Tucker. FREE AT LAST!!!” Trump said.

By the way, there is no legitimate reason for fake reporters to give anonymity to sources claiming J6 defendants had access to that footage, even though they are in fact fake journalists.

Defendants we visited in that shit hole of a jail did not have sufficient access to discovery or consul when they were already being pressured to take deals.

They bullied, shotgun charged them, and ran out the clock.

Exactly.

Chuck म्हणाले...

"Pled" versus "pleaded."

Neither one is incorrect, per The Grammarly Blog. Fascinating to me that the New Yorker has used both "pleaded" and "pled" in print.

I like "pled" the way that University of Michigan English Professor and linguist Ann Curzan does. Although -- this had special interest to me, being a fan of Justice Scalia's books -- noted Scalia co-author on legal writing Bryan Garner prefers "pleaded." But again, "pled" is not wrong.

What's the no-nonsense view from the internet age lovers of the law and language and usage over at Above the Law? There's actually been a pro-"pled" majority! It's been a subject of dispute, to be sure, but one without a clear correct answer.

Apology accepted, Althouse.

Saint Croix म्हणाले...

I look forward to our leftist friends urging the police to arrest all the protestors in Madison and lock them up for four years.

Suppress the videos!

Coerce confessions!

Lock 'em up! Lock 'em up! Lock 'em up!

I wonder if you idiots have double standards depending on what party the protestors belong to.

My legal advice to any protestor -- make sure you first register with the Democrat party before you challenge the authorities. Easy way to shave four years off your sentence.

Chuck म्हणाले...

But hey folks; let's all remember that there is one undeniably incorrect usage with "pled" and "pleaded."

And that, of course, is Donald J. Trump. When you are talking about a criminal plea in the past tense, you need to pick between "pled" and "pleaded." When you write "plead," that is present tense, only. (Pronounced, "pleed." Not "pled.")

Who gets that wrong? Trump, of course!

Behold. Here is our hero Trump, tapping out (referring to his company accountant Wesselberg's NY plea deal), "He plead guilty when given the choice of 90 days or life." Trump clearly wanted to type "pled" but somehow couldn't bring himself to type it that way even though the voice in his said was sounding it out the way that he wanted to.

You poor dumb shit-stupid insurrectionist. Neither Sicknick's family, nor the Capitol Police, nor the DoJ are claiming that Sicknick was struck down and killed on the spot by a fire extinguisher. The acknowledged story all the way around is described by former DoJ prosecutor Renato Mariotti: "Actually, the U.S. Capitol Police concluded that Officer Sicknick was 'injured' by January 6th rioters, 'collapsed' at his division office, and 'succumbed to his injuries' at the hospital.
The Capitol Police stated that he 'passed away due to injuries sustained while on-duty.'"

Adam Schiff should be in jail, not the QAnon Shaman. Adam Schiff perpetrated the Russia Collusion hoax on the American people and a President- handcuffing that President and eventually creating an impeachment path on him. And as most of us knew then, and everybody knows now the entire Russia Collusion case against Trump was bullshit.

And no one, not a single person, was even reprimanded. This was Adam Schiff's first circus. He then followed it up with J6- the 'worse than 9/11' circus. Again- one side of the story with the defense not allowed to present.

Both cases, though created and now fixed in many minds as real and larger than life, were not arrange by Trump. In fact, it's more likely both of these were 'arranged' by the FBI and Democratic players.

Today Adam Schiff has his eyes on the Senate, and being from California, he'll be a Senator soon enough (because nothing says 'no standards at all' like being a representative from California.) But Adam Schiff should be in jail at this point. What he has done is far more....FAR MORE serious and damaging to the nation than the QAnon Shaman getting an escort through the Capitol.

Can you point to a source assuring us he had access to this video?

And this brings up a legal issue that I would hope our host, with her background and expertise as a law professor, would want to explore. I've read that even the DOJ didn't have access to this video. This video was the property of Congress. Due to separation of powers the DOJ could not force Congress to turn over some videos.

If exculpatory evidence is essentially withheld by Congress in this manner is it a Brady violation? Does the defense have an obligation to detail in the record the amount of effort the DOJ took in obtaining potentially exculpatory video? Does it pass the smell test that they didn't seek video for Chansley's actions at the moments documented in the Tucker videos? If the did seek those videos and they were withheld from Congress, that in itself, should be an exculpatory fact. If DOJ didn't seek the Tucker vidoes, it should be exculpatory as to sentencing at a minimum.

My take is that certainly Congress is beholden to the 14th Amendment as much as the Executive branch. Therefore, this is a Brady violation. While the video may not be exculpatory to the underlying crime, especially since he pled guilty, it would certainly be exculpatory for sentencing. Remember that Brady violations don't have to have an impact on guilt or innocence of the charge, but can also apply to the sentencing. The Brady in Brady v. Maryland didn't get a new trial, but he did get a new sentence. Chansley should at a minimum get a new hearing on his sentence. The argument would be that after the initial crime (entering the Capitol), the escalating factor (being on the floor of the Senate) was not resisted and potentially encouraged by law enforcement.

Christopher B म्हणाले...

And I will raise the tin-foil hat theory that I've been tossing around in my head since the end of January 2021.

The Democrats planned to create a Constitutional Crisis if Trump, by some stroke of luck or outbreak of honesty, evaded their election frau, er, 'fortification' and won. Remember, even though Biden got 81 million (ya sure) votes, the GOP increased the number of seats they held in the House and, even though they were defending twice as many seats, still managed to eek out a tie in the Senate despite several election setbacks.

The disruption of the Electoral Certification was planned before November 2020, and it wasn't going to just delay the proceedings for a few hours. It was going to shut down the Capitol for days as the Democrats pulled out all the stops to overturn the Electoral College ratification of Trump's victory, especially if he drew an inside straight again and got only a plurality of the popular vote.

The machinery and personnel were in place, even if they stood down after 3 November 2020. They were ready when Trump announced he was going to hold a rally on 6 January 2021. The Democrats and Deep Staters realized they could repurpose the event they had planned by reskinning a few of their shock troops, and making sure the pro-Trump groups they 'invited' were still going to participate.

What about this theory doesn't align with what we now know was actually happening?

rcocean म्हणाले...

Just in case anyone forgot "Buffalo Horns guy" aka Jacob Chansley was sentenced to 3.5 years in Prison for this. That was November 2021, so he's now been in prison for at LEAST 1.5 years.

He was escorted to House chamber by the police. No one tried to stop him or arrest him. At one point he passes a group of 5-7 policeman who just stare at him. When he went to the podium and stole the gavel, the Cops were there.

Adam Schiff-ty could not pull that off alone. Had there been the slightest pushback from republican leadership the democraticals could not have pulled any of that off.

Instead, McConnell, Ryan, McCain, Burr et al were ALL in on it from the very beginning.

Only 1 republican leader stood up against them: Devin Nunes.

And what did Paul Ryan and his House democratical allies do? Allowed fake ethics complaints to be used to sideline Nunes.

I will say it again. It is not enough to note the excess of the lawless left. It is necessary to oppose them with such vigor that they are politically neutered so that people will not be tempted to use such methods to gain power.

Once you realize the lengths that the left have been proven to go to destroy the voice of half the country, it is not hard to start wondering whether other surmised, yet unproven methods are actually true just not yet proven due to the inertia of the institutions involved as well as the active resistance by media and politicians.

If they would perpetuate the Russia hoax, lie about Wuhan, destroy innocent lives via J6, then there is no reason they would not manufacture votes to make sure Trump did not win. It's no longer a stretch. The pattern is clear. Undermine the American system to insure power for the left.

It is telling how our leftist commenters have tried to obfuscate the issue. The left does not care about America, just their causes.

Take the red pill already.

rcocean म्हणाले...

DOJ had access. The FBI/Capital hill police had access. The House didn't refuse access to the prosecutors. If the footage wasn't used at SOME of the trials, its because it wasn't wanted by the prosecutors. The footage was also used to identify who to arrest.

"The argument would be that after the initial crime (entering the Capitol), the escalating factor (being on the floor of the Senate) was not resisted and potentially encouraged by law enforcement."

Exactly - Channsley should be freed immediately. Others should also be freed.

BTW, a leftist who threw a molotov cocktail at a police van full of cops was sentenced to 15 MONTHS. The Shaman got 41 MONTHS. We need strict guidelines for sentencing. Quit these clown Federal judges so much leeway. They don't deserve it.

There is so much misinformation in these comments, I almost don't know where to begin.

But without any foul language or personal attacks, and ignoring all of the personal attacks on me for the sake of the comments page, here is one of the very best and most detailed reports anywhere on Jacob "QAnon Shaman" Chansley's plea-deal appearance before Senior Judge Royce Lamberth (one of the most highly-experienced judges on the DC District bench):

"'QAnon Shaman' Jacob Chansley is sentenced to 41 months in prison." Politico; by Josh Gerstein and Kyle Cheney, two of the reporters most devoted to legal affairs arising out of January 6.

The detail in the story is fascinating. Chansley's own admission of his guilt; his frustration that he did not get a pardon from Trump; his lawyer's frustration at how J6 rioters had been misled by Trump; Chansley's own views that the 2020 election was not stolen. His gratitude for being transferred from DC to Virginia for the sake of his vegetarian diet, for which Judge Lamberth apparently got a lot of criticism.

Now, if this comment is so boring that it violates any of your commenting guidelines, Althouse, please let us all know what it is so that we can all correct ourselves going forward.

My theory is that they didn't care if Trump won reelection, because they expected to take the Senate outright, and to expand their control of the House. Trump would have spent four years battling investigations with nothing getting done, while Dems fundraised heavily off of it. Hence why they picked Biden as the nominee: he was the least likely to do damage downballot, and his loss wouldn't kill a viable political career like it would someone younger.

Instead, on election night, they watched as Trump had coattails, and were faced with the very real possibility that he'd pull the GOP into a slim majority in the House, while keeping the Senate. That would have been a disaster, and so the decision was made to flood ballots into a few states. It wouldn't surprise me if doing so also shifted a couple Senate races.

I automatically record Tucker Carlson, then keep the last 5 recordings. Until fairly recently, I hadn’t been watching him more than an episode every month ago. Now, I am glad that I do. I watched the whole show last night. Carlson is rapidly turning into the most watched, and most powerful journalist, on the air. It’s not just this, of course, but he has also been at the forefront of vaccine injuries too. Last week, I was reading that a lot of influential people were trying to reach out to Murdoch to get Carlson fired. I think that highly unlikely. Carlson is a ratings goldmine for Fox. Take him off the air, and they face a huge financial penalty, plus a ratings crash. He can pocket the massive penalty, and pull a Joe Rogan, opening up shop elsewhere, while many in Fox’s core audience defect in disgust.

McCarthy was heavily criticized for giving Carlson a preliminary exclusive here. But, in retrospect, I think that it was a shrewd move. I expect that ultimately, the entire cache of videos will be released, and crowd sourced. And at that point, those screaming cherry picking on the part of Carlson should, if they had any morals, eat crow, because it will just look worse. But by doing this this way, McCarthy has guaranteed the biggest possible audience for the video destruction of the 1/6 narrative.

Social media users attributed Brian Sicknick's death to being hit with a fire extinguisher. So did the New York Times, citing two law enforcement officers. The Capitol Police did say that Officer Sicknick “passed away due to injuries sustained while on duty,” but they didn't specify what injuries he had sustained.

Doctors said Sicknick did not die from blunt force trauma, and while Sicknick had been sprayed with something like pepper spray or bear repellent, it wasn't likely to have caused his death. At this point there is no "acknowledged" or accepted version of why he died.

We do know that Brian Sicknick had a stroke after the Jan. 6th events. The fire extinguisher story was much circulated but untrue. Nor is there much reason to believe the version of the Capitol Police, given how much they've gotten wrong or concealed.

"Good" news GOPe-ers!

Mitch McConnell comes out against Carlson showing the Jan 6 videos and drawing the inescapably true conclusions.

Now remember, if you just get rid of Trump all will be well in the Republican Garden with the current GOP "leadership".

Mitch McConnell helped Nancy Pelosi plan J6.

No true liberal would just write "he pled guilty."

Are there any true liberals? Whatever liberals there may have been in the Democrat Party have been supplanted by progressives and there is no end to what they will do to increase their power and drive their progressive policies.

These are not new or “never seen before”

See what I mean?

GFY.

Russia Collusion Truther and Hillary/FBI Hoax Dossier Dead Ender Inga: "Oh boy, another thing rightists are getting excited over…videos of Jan 6th rioters we’ve all seen before."

LOL

Inga claims this while all the democraticals are screaming on tv that these never before seen videos should not be shown!

Well, its our resident dolt Inga after all.

Inga, what percent of the 44,000 hours of video would you say you've watched?

1 hour? Maybe 2? Of just snippets put on a loop and dubbed with sound by a hollywood producer during the sham committee hearings?

Inga is so very very dumb (congrats gadfly, you are momentarily out of the biggest dummy doghouse) that she expects us to believe she has already seen all these never before publicly seen videos!

Oh, wait. I forgot. Inga claims to be able to read minds. Well, then maybe she has seen these videos thru the eyes and minds of others that she is somehow tapping into.

Is that what you meant Inga?

"I am not anti-Carlson but he is an openly partisan personality and the information released will automatically be discounted by large swaths of the public and the media regardless of the reality or the quality of the presentation."

Name one non-partisan news personality.

My son is Orthodox Christian. He and his parish are preparing to celebrate Easter. It is the most important festival in the Christian calendar. Knowing that, I'm reminded of Jesus scourging the Temple just prior to his crucifix, death and resurrection. As I see it, Jesus isn't in the picture just yet. But the Temple (as a metaphor) is in our picture. The original Temple was meant to be a place of sanctity and worship. Over time, the Pharisees and money-changers co-opted the Temple and debased its meaning and purpose. There is no like-to-like comparison to the Temple and us. But our institutions, all of which contribute to our culture and society have in my opinion been corrupted through simple human nature. That corruption impacted the people of two thousand years ago. A similar corruption is now impacting our societal and cultural agencies (government, business, journalism, academia, law, religion, medicine, etc.). History does not repeat itself. It does inform us, however. The people of Judaea had no say in their governance by Rome. And Rome was not a benevolent ruler. Fast forward to today and we see similar conditions of governance by a detached, directive and dictatorial elite. Two millennia ago the people could only pray for a heavenly savior to free them from tyranny. Today, we have not yet sunk to that point of misery. I wish I knew but I can only suppose that God expects us to fight for our families, our culture and ourselves. We have not yet earned the right for a heavenly savior to descend and resolve our issues as flawed human beings. We own this mess, either through acts of commission or omission. So I say deploy "en masse" the J6 tapes. Confront the Pharisees directly (I'm looking at you Chuck, et al). Challenge the imperial governors. Expose the Praetorians and those who command them. Maybe we can purge our Temple and delay Jesus' return. Because I'm pretty certain that should He return, no-one will like the result.

@Yinzer, think you'd have enough guts to say that to my face?

@Chuck, The Capitol Police released a number of statements regarding the death of Officer Sicknick. You appear to be quoting from early ones. The final one is here, and I cannot find any other statements from www.uscp.gov. The statement begins:

The USCP accepts the findings from the District of Columbia's Office of the Chief Medical Examiner that Officer Brian Sicknick died of natural causes.

You asked "Just how fucking stupid are you guys?"

Smarter than you, Chuckie baby. Smarter than you.

The point is that it shouldn't have been a "news personality" heading this up.

No true liberal would just write "he pled guilty."

Liberalism is a philosophy of divergence (e.g. generational, sectarian).

That said, here's to the principles of classical liberalism.

What is wrong with you people?! "

Isn't ""he pled guilty." a fact?
I like facts.
