  1. The Associated Press: The judge assigned to Trump's Jan. 6 case is a tough punisher of Capitol rioters

    Quotes from Judge Chutkan:

    “Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.”

    “People gathered all over the country last year to protest the violent murder by the police of an unarmed man. Some of those protesters became violent,” Chutkan said during an October 2021 hearing.

    “But to compare the actions of people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights, to those of a violent mob seeking to overthrow the lawfully elected government is a false equivalency and ignores a very real danger that the Jan. 6 riot posed to the foundation of our democracy.”

    I love this woman and I will hang her framed portrait in our kitchen.

  2. From @rvawonk on the #Jan6indictment : “Big new detail here confirming what we already knew: Trump and his inner circle had plans to incite “riots in every major city” in order to lay the groundwork to invoke the insurrection act and institute a militarized crackdown. These plans involved extremist groups, as well.”

    I would just like to comment at how stunned I was to read the comments by an unnamed lawyer - Lawyer - with regard to the fake elector slates:
    "I guess there's no harm in it ..."
    " We'd be just ... "

    A lawyer! No hint of potential criminal jeopardy for violation of voting acts, voters rights, the State constitution.

    Just, 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

  4. Today marks the start of a process that may result in a former president of the United States convicted of crimes to subvert the nation he swore to defend. It's been a long time since Jan. 6, 2021, and we're finally seeing the results. No one deserves punishment more than Trump.
    That said, it's sad that it had ever come to this, and sadder still that tens of millions of people still support Donald Trump, and would vote for him again.
