Enrique Tarrio gets 22 years...

Understand this: people like Tarrio are just the sacrificial lambs. People in power don't seriously consider him a threat. This is just all the pretense to try and justify imprisoning Trump and his lawyers and other supporters who challenged the 2020 election. They're 'setting the stage'. I don't know what to say to anyone who doesn't realize this. Regardless of your political affiliation, this ought to worry you. This IS authoritarianism. Up to you if you want to speak up against it or not

I'll bet you rooted for the villain in the movies...

You often read into things that don't exist. For example:
Did I state either way if I was happy or sad that Enrique was found guilty of seditious conspiracy?
Since I didn't, I'd like to thank you for deciding my opinions and emotions without me.

Good work !!!!

Anyone notice that cocoa doesn't readily mix with cold milk?

The fact that Trump supporters decry imprisonment for those who break the law is exactly why people like Trump can Never be leaders.

To make excuses, especially excuses that those being imprisoned are being made scapegoats, is just BS spread by those who think criminal Trump and his cult are heroes.

These people refuse to acknowledge that criminals should and do, end up in prison.

I, for one, am extremely happy that a ringleader has been convicted and will spend time locked away from society. Just as I was extremely happy when the mugger who attacked my mother was also imprisoned.

I hate to think what would have happened if Pence had been assassinated. Having seen a few videos, he was wise not to allow secret service to take away from the capitol.

Heads up:- China is a socialist country, not a communist country, show me a communist country where entrepreneurs are encouraged, where people are allowed to buy property, and set up new businesses and I will concede that China is also communist.


No? Maybe you need to do some research!

As for "hoping the leader of communist China is soon arrested[". If he has done something illegal by Chinese legal standards, then sure, he needs to face the consequences.

Interesting question.
It is obvious that neither Rudy nor Trump has any credible evidence opposing the indictments against them, so by saying all he said, it leaves him open to a plea bargain, hanging Trump out to dry. As I said, interesting question, awaiting a good response.

Literally tens of millions of people are.

He lost a lot of support when he announced he would be the leader until death.

Only around 5% of the entire Chinese population are signed up members of the CCP.

In the US Federal system, most if not all. Of course if he turns state witness to something really important there is always the possibility of bringing a new deal back to the same judge for a sentence review. But otherwise 22 years it is. And there is 'compassionate' release for those so sick there is no point wasting money on guards or prison space. They can just parole those in final stages of cancer out to a nursing facility somewhere.

Under US sentencing guidelines (a thick tome to read) the judge had the option of saying 35 years. Remember this plot once initiated resulted in deaths by violence and is thus the equivalent of multiple murders. He actually got off kind of light in my opinion.

Tarrio wasn't even in DC that day. No evidence was produced that he encouraged any violence or encouraged anyone to impede congressional proceedings. The judge instructed the jury that such evidence wasn't even required to reach a guilty verdict in the case of Tarrio and the other 4 Proud Boys leaders who were sentenced to a combined 82 years in prison. The judge also prevented the defense from preventing evidence of undercover federal informants embedded in the Proud Boys who were apparently encouraging group members to commit violence and break the law. So you don't need to have planned anything, don't need to have encouraged or committed any violence, and you can be sentenced to decades in prison. This is absolute insanity. For comparison, a man who firebombed a police precinct during the Summer 2020 riots got just 4 years in jail. Antifa rioters who in 2017 during Trump's inauguration attacked cops, destroyed shop fronts, firebombed cars and launched molotov cocktails - had their charges eventually dropped. Not only that, they got a PAYOUT from the city, for 'unfair treatment'. Rioters in 2020 too who attacked Secret Service while attempting to breach the White House had their charges dropped also.

As I've pointed out before, DC voted for Biden over Trump by a factor of 17 to 1. For every 1 person who voted for Trump, 17 voted for Biden. It's virtually impossible for anyone in any way associated with Trump or the America First MAGA movement to get fair treatment there. Juries are heavily tainted in opposition to such defendants. And yet any and all requests for change of trial venue to a neutral district have been summarily denied.

The Biden regime is off the rails. This is accelerationism and is designed - as I've said - to justify when they're going to try and throw Trump, his lawyers, and other associates in jail. This is essentially an attempted purging of the political opposition that is under way. The Nazis in early 1930s Germany did similar after the Reichstag Fire - it was their excuse to go after, persecute and ultimately purge their political opponents and effectively institute a weaponized federal police state. And guess what? Many everyday Germans cheered it on and sought to justify it as it was happening. Those who fail to learn from history are destined to repeat it.

The easy answer is the USSR from 1965 through 1972 as it followed the Kosygin Plan. Khrushchev had devastated the Soviet economy. The Kosygin Plan to save it required factory managers to make independent decisions on a profit basis instead of directions from Moscow. The decisions now under their control included what to make, how much of it, and for the first time, where to distribute their products and allowed the selling of the products wherever there was a market for them. The plan also encouraged managers to reward productive or innovative employees with pay raises and bonuses. In short the Kosygin plan embraced capitalism and profit.

The plan was a huge success to the great annoyance of the Central Committee. In 1965 the USSR was not a major exporter of oil or gas and the bulk of Russia's income was based on what it could sell, and suddenly under the plan there was lots of stuff folks outside Russia wanted to buy. Dollars and francs flowed in and suddenly the Russian standard of living began to rise. Houses with no electricity got electricity, roads were built or improved, Luda production improved and increased, new refineries were built and oil began to be exported which produced more money, etc, etc. .

It all changed in 1972. Russia had become a member of OPEC and fully agreed with that organization's policies. Doing so gave the Central Committee a way to return to pure communism (and corruption). All of the reforms of the Kosygin Plan were reversed with the factories going back under central control and only making what they were ordered to make in the specific quantities ordered, even if there was no profitable market for such goods. The awarding of salary bonuses and pay raises for more productive employees was halted. The Central Committee was of the belief that the new profits from oil more than offset the lost profits from production and best of all those oil revenues profits would flow through their hands and not the hands of the peasants. This of course once again destroyed the Russian economy and in large part to the collapse of the USSR.

There was a brief period of return to capitalism under B. Yeltsin, but upon seizing power V. Putin crushed most of it. Only approved people (aka Oligarchs) or their relatives are allowed huge profits. If someone in rurral Russia starts a successful business, it is usually taken away and turned over to a favored person.

China watched the Kosygin Plan, saw it was a success and the decision to end it was a bad one. So Communist China allows it's own version of the Kosygin Plan to exist and enough people to think things are good and that they can own things to avoid self destructing the country.

Irrelevant. Everyone knows Biden isn't really running anything anyway. He barely campaigned. He was installed. He forgets where he is half the time and has spent 40% of the last 2.5 years on vacation. He's the very definition of a political puppet. It's the people behind the scenes, pulling the strings, working everything out - that people need to worry most about. And that includes FBI leadership, DOJ leadership, various judges, district attorneys, Democrat Party leadership (obviously), co-opted media, powerful NGOs and advocacy groups, and a lot more. Anyone who believes that what is happening is independent and organic is fooling themselves. This is a highly coordinated and very well funded attempt to obliterate the opposition and essentially institute one party dictatorial rule. I pray it fails. And I'd equally pray it fails if the Republican Party were the ones at the forefront attempting it. Because I'm against dictatorships and tyranny.

In case you missed the OP text.

""Tarrio pleaded for leniency, describing Jan. 6 as a “national embarrassment,” and apologizing to the police officers who defended the Capitol and the lawmakers who fled in fear. His voice cracked as he expressed remorse for letting down his family and vowed that he is done with politics.""

Which kind of suggests he knew he orchestrated the terrorist attack. He got caught and will spend 22 years regretting he ever heard of Trump.

Ehhhhhhh NO. This is just the result of someone being subjected to a kangaroo court with (essentially) a predetermined outcome. Most people in such a situation are going to beg for mercy, to say what they think the judge wants to hear in the hope they'll get a less severe sentence. This isn't justice. These are show trials, these Proud Boys the sacrificial lambs in order to continue to perpetuate the 'insurrection' narrative and to justify further political persecution and accelerationism by this thoroughly vindictive and hostile illegitimate regime

Just your opinion, thankfully only a few follow your thinking.

Not nearly as much time as Biden has. And comparing Trump's PERSONALITY to Hitler's is absolutely absurd. Seriously. What ultimately matters is a person's ACTIONS. Trump never acted as a dictator while president, despite the non stop accusations of such by political operatives aligned against him. Americans were never more free than under the Trump administration. The Biden administration - on the other hand - has shown zero hesitation to weaponize government power for political purposes. It couldn't be more obvious. They used the textbook Alinsky tactic of projection against Trump - 'accuse your opponent of that which you're guilty of'. It's probably the oldest propaganda technique in the book. Relentlessly accuse your opponent of being a dangerous dictator who must be stopped at all costs - and then seek to normalize ACTUAL dictatorial and tyrannical measures once you're in power yourself. It really is amazing how many people fall hook line and sinker for this.

Actually it was WEEKS of long knives (metaphorically). And the perpetrators were Antifa and BLM. With full permission from Democrat Party leadership. 2 billion dollars worth of damage. Dozens dead. Hundreds seriously injured. Police precincts torched. City blocks set alight. Small businesses destroyed. Churches attacked and vandalised. An attempted breach of the White House with dozens of Secret Service injured. Calls to defund the police and chants and banners saying 'all cops are bástards'. And last but not least a federal courthouse in Portland attacked for MONTHS by Antifa masked agitators (that's one sure way to intimidate the judiciary!).

I'm talking about the summer of 2020 of course. Of course cowards don't want to acknowledge all of this. You want to pretend it didn't happen, instead pointing to 2.5 hours of sporadic rioting on J6 that could quite easily have been avoided (for the most part anyway) with proper security precautions to ensure a safe environment to protest and for Congressional proceedings to go ahead unimpeded. But then again - if you acknowledge that, then your support of abuses of power and the attempt to institute a tyrannical one party state would fall apart, wouldn't it?
