22 years? Yeah that is disheartening.

There are several states in the South and Midwest that possession of marijuana can land you life in prison. That's potentially a 70 year sentence for a young adult.

Yet these jackasses can attempt to overthrow the US Government and install an unelected dictator and the longest sentence we've seen yet is only 22 fucking years?

Yeah it is disheartening to see the hundreds that got off with house arrest, probation, or even at best landed behind bars for only a year or so.

    Can’t believe the sentencing for weed is still so strong. Like who gives a fuck, just legalize the shit already. I think that most of us can agree that alcohol has just as much of not more potential for harm than weed does and that’s legal.

    Attempting a coup = not the good guy

    It's framing. For the next coup. Because there will be a next one. The Nazis didn't win their first coup either.

    Hitler was only sentenced to 5 years in prison despite being convicted of treason. He lived in comfort and wrote his famous book there.

    The 60-day, nine-month, and time-served sentences make a mockery of justice and a tragedy of history. 20 years is about right if not a bit lenient for plotting what would have gotten someone hanged, drawn, and quartered at the time of our country's founding.

    Smashes a Capitol policeman with the riot shield you stole off of him. We are the good guys!

    Can you imagine the timeline if she were VP?

    Conservative women need to keep their mouth shut and stay in the kitchen. There are bible quotes on this. Every time they speak in public the only response should be

    KJV: "But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence."

    RSV: "I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; she is to keep silent."

    GNB: "I do not allow them to teach or to have authority over men; they must keep quiet."

    I wanna see hundreds of replies to every tradwife politicians with these every time they speak and I wanna see reporters repeat these instead of asking questions. If they want rights and be treated with respect, ditch the religion and trad shit and join the rest of us in the future.

    How about we start calling them out on all the foolish things the Bible forbids, but they ignore and do anyway such as:

    • Wearing clothing made of blended fabrics - leviticus 19:19

    • Wearing ripped or torn clothing - leviticus 10:6

    • Eating shellfish - leviticus 11:10

    • Eating pork - leviticus 11:4

    • No short hair cuts, and no shaving beards - leviticus 19:27

    • No tattoos or piercings - leviticus 19:28

    • No alcohol in church - leviticus 10:9

    • No working on the sabbath - leviticus 23:3

    • No divorce - mark 10:9

    • No wearing jewelry - timothy 2:9

    • No lying - leviticus 19:11

    • Don't mistreat foreigners - leviticus 19:33-34

    • Buying or selling land - leviticus 25:23

    I could honestly do this all day as there are so very many things to write here, but I feel this is sufficient to demonstrate my point.

    Don't let these people use their faith as justification to be terrible humans until they follow every word "written" by their infallible god in their hypocritical self contradictory book that none of them have actually read.

    Why are Republicans calling people that directly attacked and killed people in the hallowed halls of the Capital building "the good guys"?

    Because they're tribal partisan hacks. The only thing they care about is them VS everyone else

    Sarah Palin knows what's going on, because she reads ALL THE PAPERS! /s

    Non Violent!? They were calling for the hanging/execution of several politicians, with instructions and directions to go get them! 6 people DIED!!! Those that were truly non violent, got much more lenient penalties than the 17-22 years the leaders got.

    Sarah Palin is batshit insane calling these people good guys.

    And look how they treated him at the end! As so many other things Republican, their behavior towards McCain lead by Trump was despicable.

    But McCain had a shred of humanity and honor, and there is no place for that in the new GOP.

    Wait, The "Good Guys" were not the capital police fighting to protect Congress and the constitutional procedure taking place? The capital police who stood up to the deadly mob worked up by Trump and aimed at senators doing the work of the constitution...they were not the "Good Guys"?

    Palin is wrong and not a "good guy".

    At this point, fuck it.

    You're right Sarah! You are the good guys, and there is just no point. Might as well stop trying to over throw the government and terrorizing marginalized communities. Even voting. It's a lost cause. The deep state will come after you for interfering with their plans, so just stay home. Protest the system by being quiet and not participating.

    They can all get fucked along with you, Sarah.

    Imagine thinking Sarah Palin was someone whose thoughts were worth more than the wretched air they're made of.

    Or, hear me out here, maybe if they're going to jail they aren't "good guys". Or has the right decided our legal system isn't perfect after all? Can't have both!
