Clay Bennett for May 26, 2023

Good start but there’s a whole lot more of them out there. And don’t forget the tour guides.

You’ll note that none of the REAL PRINCIPALS have even gone to trial, much less gotten time. And it’s not looking to me as if they will. Same ol’ same old: Them as has gits… in this case they git out of jail free.

They’ve $h1t their bed, now they have to lie in it.

I wish the jerk had received a 40 year sentence!

I wonder how many more converts he’ll organize while he’s in there.

Normal tRump move throw the suckers to the law and disavow any knowledge of what they were doing.

It’s a start. I do love your work today. It made me chortle despite a migraine.

18 years! The 8th Amendment precludes “cruel or unusual punishment.” This harsh sentence will be appealed. If you can loot a Target store at gunpoint and are let out on the streets in a matter of hours and never charged, there is some Imbalance in the justice system. This Oathkeeper deserves some time in the slammer. But the punishment should equal the crime. A few broken windows and doors? Congress rushed to safety for their own protection. Not a good TV image. The real crime, Pelosi ignoring intelligence that protesters might breach the capitol. A politician never likes egg on her face. Lock them up but fail to charge the rioters who attempted to breach the White House over a several day period. Several Capitol police and Secret Service were injured. At the Capitol onlh one person died. A female unarmed Trump supporter shot to death by an officer who got a slap on the wrist. Where is equal justice under the law in either situation?

After Nixon’s pardon, and our violation of Geneva torture agreement after 9/11, etc … that only the lower US caste really see punisment for crimes, is my expectation.

If at all possible, his punishment should be that of the character Philip Nolan in “The Man Without a Country.”

Ain’t it the truth!

And DeathSatanist wants to pardon the lot of the 1/6 seditionists and insurrectionists and traitors. Benedict Arnold is his hero

“The real crime, Pelosi ignoring intelligence that protesters might breach the capitol.” I’m glad that so many are still on board with Duh Furor trying to overturn state (GA) and federal elections by violent means … /s

They should send him to Super Max prison in Colorado. That’s where the other terrorists are.

Now lie in it.

It’s a start – now keep going.

The FAT ORANGE TRAITOR who DIRECTLY ORDERED THE ATTACK needs to be next.

All trumps flunkies got nailed after he threw them all under the bus! But never fear….the white supremest groups won’t forget that! One way or another, rumps as$ is grass and they’ll mow him down to size!

We can only hope

I hope he gets a big romantic cellmate who won’t take no for an answer.

Looks like someone is going to be getting skull fouqued a lot well into his seventies.

Donald Trump has volunteered to serve 9 of the years in the Oath Keeper’s place—-after all,he did it for him;and Trump has such a kind heart

Oath Keepers head’s 18 year sedition sentence is a warning shot for Trump

Stewart Rhodes’ son fears Trump or DeSantis will pardon his father

Dakota Adams, eldest son of Oath Keepers founder Stewart Rhodes, was somewhat disappointed with the 18-year prison sentence a federal judge imposed Thursday on his convicted seditionist father.Adams considers it too short.

‘A great week for us’: Stewart Rhodes’ ex-wife happy he’s behind bars where he ’can’t hurt’ her family

Oath Keepers militia leader Stewart Rhodes may have been sentenced to 18 years in prison for his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — but the damage he has done, and could do, is still tremendous, his ex-wife Tasha Adams told CNN’s Abby Phillip on Thursday.Despite this, she said, she is glad he is in a place where he is not a danger to her family anymore.

This sets a trend of the punishment increasing as they work their way up the chain. We will see if the trend is consistent when the Tario / Proud Boys verdicts come in.

If that trend continues into the upper echelons, one should expect at least this for the inner circle. It will be an interesting test of @superposition’s contention above. My bet is with his.

‘Sheer insanity’: Morning Joe torches Republicans floating pardons for MAGA rioters

MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough called out the depravity of the two leading Republican presidential contenders for signaling they would pardon rioters who were convicted of crimes for their roles in the Jan. 6 insurrection.Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis have each said they would at least consider pardons for many of the insurrectionists, some of whom were sentenced to years in prison Thursday for taking part in a seditious conspiracy, and the “Morning Joe” host was appalled.

One creep at a time.

The hero of the trumpers that post on GoComics. Ammosexual, Patrick Murphy, guyjen, saylorgirl, conservativeman, artegal, it’s the end of the word, purplehelment, warcat, etc.

Working their way up the food chain. If Gotti were alive, you could ask him how that worked.

Stewart Rhodes claims he is just a political prisoner. But, the role of political prisoner we reserve for those whose only crime was speaking out against their government leaders, chanting against the government, or maybe doing sitins. Those, like Stewart, who punctuated their protest with breakins, destruction of property, assaults on the police, and threats of life taking potential are treated somewhat differently, and are no longer considered just political prisoners.

But, it is regrettable that he and the other many actual perpetrators of the January 6th insurrection are probably the only ones who’ll receive any punishment. While the folks at the top, especially Donald Trump, will likely go free. But, the problem is proving the instigators were criminally liable when they planned and/or called for the attack. Those that did it were recorded doing the act. Many brazenly recorded themselves breaking the law as if they were above the law. So, naturally, these will be prosecuted. But proving intent by the organizers, now that’s a different matter.

As has been said, when prosecuting, follow the money. And the one area where Trump can be brought to bear for any crime will be in that area where his, or the government’s, money is involved. He may, once again, escape punishment for higher crimes and misdemeanors, but the lower stuff, which can still put him behind bars, might very well still haunt him.

When I was young, my mother would say, “You made your bed now lie in it”, which your cartoon displays so perfectly. Thank you.

One thing that’s been proven is The Capital insurrectionists acted real tough when with the criminal mob attacking the Capital Police, trying to find those in Congress, and perhaps a VP to murder to install their dear leader as King of the USA. They are showing their true selves in their whining that the consequences of their actions aren’t fair.

Commit the crime do the time.

Now it’s time for their dear leader to face the consequences of his criminal actions those days, and so many more.

Every vote for a Republican is a vote for fascism. Plain and simple.

One psycho at a time.

Good deal for Justice.

Good deal for America.

Good deal for Liberty.

Good deal for the Constitution.

Good deal for Responsibilities to go along with those often-quoted Rights.

Great visual, Clay!

Vote early, and vote often, the survey does not check validity of email, or anything.

They all should be hung as traitors.

Even though they were welcomed into the Capitol like guests.
