How do some of these morons get elected? This nasty skank boebert was serving beer in a bar and got elected because she carried a gun? She doesn't know shit about anything. She's a qanon nutcase that campaigned on crap like "I'm going to shake things up in Washington". She's also the slut that tweeted out that they had moved Pelosi during the middle of the mele.

What the hell is going on out there in Colorado? How in the hell did she get elected?

i read up a bunch about this dumb bitch. high school dropout because of pregnancy,, worked at McD's instead, was with her soon to be husband when he pulled his dong out at a bowling alley and showed it to 2 girls, caught for speeding twice and both times 2 of her kids were not in car seats, served pork sliders at a rodeo that got numerous people bloody shits.
not from my part of CO. out west mostly towards Grand Junction.
but wear a gun and you are a GOP darling.

Pelosi announces retired Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré to lead review of 'security infrastructure' after Capitol attack

(CNN)House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Friday announced that retired Lt. General Russel Honoré will lead a review of the "security infrastructure" of Capitol Hill, following a violent riot that left five people dead earlier this month.

"To protect our Democracy, we must now subject the security of the U.S. Capitol Complex to rigorous scrutiny," Pelosi said in a statement. "To that end, I have asked Lt. General Russel Honoré (Ret.), a respected leader with experience dealing with crises, to lead an immediate review of the Capitol's security infrastructure, interagency processes and procedures, and command and control."

Pelosi said in her announcement that Honoré "has strong experience with the security of the National Capital Region" and noted that members of House leadership worked with him "during Katrina and saw firsthand his strategic and patriotic leadership."
Honoré was dispatched to lead the Defense Department's response to Hurricanes Katrina and, later, Rita.

A biographical section of the retired lieutenant general's website says, "Prior to his command of Joint Task Force-Katrina -- leading the Department of Defense response to hurricanes Katrina and Rita in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana -- General Honoré served in a variety of command and staff positions which focused on Defense Support to Civil Authorities and Homeland Defense."

The attack at the Capitol has left members of Congress furious and shaken with many fearing for their lives during the riots. The Democrat-led House moved swiftly this week to impeach President Donald Trump for inciting an insurrection, a vote that received bipartisan support with a handful of Republicans crossing party lines to support impeachment.

Pelosi addressed efforts to secure the Capitol in the wake of the deadly siege at a press conference Friday, saying, "Following the attack last week on the Capitol complex, there has been unprecedented mobilization of security in the Capitol. I want to express gratitude to our Capitol police, to the National Guard who are present here to protect our democracy."

The Capitol riot took place after Trump repeatedly made false claims that the election had been stolen from him and urged his supporters to fight back.

In the wake of the deadly siege, security has been intensely ramped up at the Capitol ahead of President-elect Joe Biden's inauguration, which is set to take place in just a few days on January 20.

Pelosi said during her news conference, "We must subject this whole complex to scrutiny in light of what happened and the fact that the inauguration is coming."

The House speaker added during her press conference, "Members are moving forward with strong oversight from committees, of course, to have after action review. There is strong interest in the Congress in a 9/11 type commission -- an outside commission to conduct that after action review. In the meantime I'm very grateful for general Honoré for taking on this responsibility."

Pelosi described Honoré as "a respected leader with experience dealing with crises."

Possible Role of Flynn, Stone, Bannon, Rudy & Don Jr. in the Jan 6 Incident at the US Capitol

ABC News has reported that Mike Flynn, Roger Stone and Steve Bannon all promoted the January 6th Trump rally that turned deadly. The Department of Justice must investigate their possible criminal responsibility for what happened at the Capitol.

Will Trump consider pardons for Flynn (who has already been pardoned once), Stone (who first had his sentence commuted and then received a pardon) and Bannon (who is pending trial on felony charges involving stealing from Trump supporters, promising to use donations to "build the wall" while pocketing the money?)

Justice Dept. argues Trump should get immunity from rape accuser's lawsuit
The Department of Justice (DOJ) argued in a new court filing that President Trump should be granted immunity against a defamation suit brought against him by author E. Jean Carroll, who has accused him of raping her.

In a filing with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan, the DOJ argued it should be substituted in the suit as the defendant, replacing Trump, and that the president should be classified as “an employee of the government” and receive immunity from the suit under what is known as the Westfall Act.

The federal statute grants federal employees "absolute immunity" from claims that arise "in the course of their official duties." The DOJ argued the law “provides a broad grant of immunity” to Trump, repeating arguments the president has made in other suits he is fighting. The federal government has argued that Trump acted in his capacity as president when he responded to Carroll's allegations.

Carroll first sued the president for defamation in 2019 after he denied her claims that he raped her in the 1990s, with Trump saying in an interview with The Hill in June 2019 that she made up the story and “she’s not my type.”

A federal district judge ruled against Trump’s efforts to drop the suit in October, a decision the president is appealing.It remains to be seen if the Justice Department will continue fighting the case on Trump's behalf once he leaves office Wednesday.

Judge calls U.S. Capitol siege 'violent insurrection,' orders man who wore horns held

WASHINGTON -- A U.S. federal judge on Friday ordered a far-right conspiracy theorist who left an ominous note for Vice President Mike Pence inside the U.S. Capitol to be detained pending trial, saying he participated in a "violent insurrection."

In U.S. District Court in Phoenix, Arizona, Magistrate Judge Deborah Fine ruled that Jacob Chansley, who was famously photographed inside the U.S. Senate Chamber wearing horns during the Capitol riots, should not be released from custody.

Chansley, a Navy veteran and follower of QAnon, allegedly left a note for Pence warning: “It’s only a matter of time, justice is coming.” QAnon is a conspiracy theory that casts Trump as a savior figure and elite Democrats as a cabal of Satanist pedophiles and cannibals,

Fine on Friday called Chansley "an active participant in a violent insurrection that attempted to overthrow the United States government" and said she fears he is a danger to the community and a flight risk.

As she made her ruling, Chansley interjected and tried to speak, but the judge cut him off, saying he should avoid making statements.

Her ruling came shortly after prosecutors in Arizona walked back sweeping statements they made just a day earlier in their memo seeking detention, claiming the government had "strong evidence" that the "intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States government."

Earlier in the day, the top federal prosecutor overseeing the sweeping probe of the riots at the Capitol told reporters that at this stage, they had no "direct evidence" that rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol had formed "kill capture teams."

The criminal case against Chansley is just one of a growing number, as investigators in Washington, D.C, scour more than 140,000 videos and photos from the Capitol siege.

As of Friday morning, Sherwin said his office has brought 98 criminal prosecutions so far and has opened investigations into more than 275 people in connection with the Capitol riots, in which Trump’s supporters stormed the building, ransacked offices and in some cases, attacked police.

Court filings in the cases suggested some of the rioters came prepared with weapons, gas masks, ballistic vests and zip ties.

The people charged include a retired firefighter who hurled a fire extinguisher at police, a man accused of attacking police with a flag pole and another suspect who was caught with explosives and firearms in his truck near the Capitol building.

The FBI is also looking for suspects in connection with the death of Capitol Police officer Brian Sicknick.

Steven D'Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, urged suspects to turn themselves in.

"To those of you who took part in the violence, here's something you should know: Every FBI field office in the country is looking for you," he said. "As a matter of fact, even your friends and family are tipping us off."

I learned from watching "Justified" that y'all have this thing called Felony Murder, where anyone engaged in a felony during which someone dies is liable.

For example, in the show a getaway driver crashed and died and the robbers were charged with "felony murder".

Is this not applicable to the Capitol Rebellion? Aren't all the "I dint do nuffin" MAGAts who claim they were only protesting and didn't commit violence liable under this law for the deaths that occurred?
