Barry Croft Jr., 47, one of the ringleaders in the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, has just been sentenced to 19 1/2 years in prison by a U.S. District Court judge.

Multiple ppl while in congress attempted a coup and those ppl are still in congress. It would probably be a good idea for DOJ to do something about that.

I'll just note this: When I was growing up, from time to time you'd hear someone say "One of the wonderful things about America is that anyone can grow up and become president."

We did not, at that time, interpret that as a cautionary tale.

Republicans: *lose election*
Also Republicans: "should we try to run on policy and helping Americans? Nah, lets double down on extremism and election conspiracies!"

Bring back the talking filibuster. If you can’t impersonate Jimmy Stewart, you can’t hold up a vote.

The homophobia twat donkeys who are using the "You shouldn't disrespect Qatar's culture" argument do realize that a lot of LGBTQ individuals flee the Middle East out of fear of getting killed right?

I'm beginning to think,after seeing how Twatter is operating now,that anyone who signs up for Musk's proposed Mars mission might want to get really good life insurance.

More info on the shooting from earlier.

Unruly patron had a gun.
Retired cop had a gun.
Why couldn’t the retired cop have had a taser?

Circling back to unruly patron with a gun, not everyone should have a firearm, especially if you have a short fuse and your thought after being escorted from a restaurant for being a dick is to go to your vehicle and grab your gun, YOU SHOHLD NOT HAVE A FUCKING GUN.

Another story of fucked around and found out.

This will 100% be the reason Apple removes Twitter from their App Store.

Musk is going to blame Apple for whatever reason, but Apple won’t stand for this.

Republicans want “entitlement” reform?

Fine, let’s lift the cap on the FICA and raise the Medicare taxes so that billionaires pay they same effective rates as working stiffs, and let’s add dental/vision/hearing benefits to original #Medicare and lower the starting age to 0.

Oh? Was that not the “reform” they were hoping for? #SocialSecurity #politics

Though I deactivated my account, I have access to look in on Twitter firsthand. It's stunning what a sewer it's become, strikingly more rancid under Musk.

Media accounts, both individual & corporate, hang on because they think the communicative critical mass is still reached there.

They rationalize that they are in containment shelters from the fallout, particularly if they cover the conflagration along the way.

I have to think that if they left, it would all come down.

Also in #politics the South Carolina Supreme court unanimously orders Mark #Meadows to testify and finds his appeal "manifestly without merit"
