Donald Trump:
Tomorrow will be Memorial Day.
Have the decency to keep your craven, anti-democratic, disrespectful, mendacious mouth shut.
You’re a domestic enemy of the United States Constitution, and you should be treated as such. #TraitorTrump#Trump#January6#BoneSpurs
Another Provocative Flag Was Flown at Another Alito Home
...
Also known as the Pine Tree flag, it dates back to the Revolutionary War, but largely fell into obscurity until recent years and is now a symbol of support for former President Donald J. Trump, for a religious strand of the “Stop the Steal” campaign and for a push to remake American government in Christian terms.
"In oral argument today, Justice Thomas is minimizing the severity of the 1/6 insurrection at the Capitol. Perhaps that's because his #wife was part of the conspiracy. What a disgrace that he's sitting on this case," lawyer Jeffrey Toobin wrote on X.
So the justices #scotus seem to confuse violence with noise. Planes make noise, traffic makes noise, peaceful protesters often make noise- none of these disruptions come with the intent and means to use violence to kill. When protesters show up with weapons and start murdering people that would trigger the violence standard. Like #january6. Heckling at a SOTU address is not violence unless your wittle snowflake ears start bleeding when you hear someone else’s opinion, then you’ve got a case.🩸🩸
The meaning of "obstruction" is ..... obstruction. Even United States Supreme Court justices ought to be able to get it. Reasoning this through should not take a lot of work.
January 6 rioters want the Supreme Court to let them off the hook from obstruction charge
The Supreme Court will hear arguments Tuesday from a former Pennsylvania police officer who stormed the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, in a case that could undermine federal charges against more than 350 rioters. 👀
The court’s decision could also have significant ramifications for former President Trump, who was charged with the same criminal offense. 😱 #SCOTUS#January6#Trump
We're not only defending our democracy against a wannabe dictator; we’re fighting the nearly unwieldy ignorance, fear, animus, and avarice of our fellow Americans who empower and embolden him. #Trump#January6#DefendDemocracy
Oath Keepers: Stewart Rhodes, the leader of republican Oath Keepers militia, was convicted of Seditious Conspiracy with one of his subordinates. They were found guilty of seeking to keep criminal defendant in power through a plot that started after the 2020 election & culminated in the mob attack on the Capitol. Roberto Minuta, Joseph Hackett, David Moerschel & Edward Vallejo, all members of the Oath Keepers, were also convicted of Seditious Conspiracy.
Proud Boys: Enrique Tarrio, Joseph Biggs, Ethan Nordean, and Zachary Rehl, members of the criminal gang Proud Boy, were found guilty of #Seditious#Conspiracy in connection with the #January6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
"He wants another #January6, but the American people are going to give him another electoral defeat this November because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, and his thirst for revenge."
Peter Navarro is due to report to a federal prison on Tuesday after an appeals court ruled that his appeal wasn’t likely to overturn his conviction for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the #January6 attack that Trump supporters aimed at the US Capitol in 2021. #Navarro has maintained that he couldn’t cooperate with the committee because Trump had invoked executive #privilege. Federal judge Amit Mehta, who was appointed during Barack Obama’s presidency, barred Navarro from making that argument at trial, finding that he didn’t show Trump had actually invoked it.
His emergency application to the Supreme Court comes as the court separately prepares to hear arguments on whether Trump himself has presidential #immunity from charges alleging he interfered in the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden
Navarro was the second Trump aide convicted of misdemeanor congressional contempt charges. Former Trump White House chief strategist #Steve#Bannon previously received a four-month sentence but was allowed to stay free pending appeal by federal judge Carl Nichols, who was appointed by Trump.
Navarro – an economist and Trump’s trade adviser – was found guilty of #defying a #subpoena for documents and a deposition from the House committee that was investigating the January 6 attack. He also #promoted Trump’s #lies about how electoral fraudsters denied him victory against Biden and was given a four-month #prison sentence.
The ruling answered a question that an appeals court had never addressed: Can former presidents escape being held accountable by the criminal justice system for things they did while in office?
Ex-Boston K-9 officer admits assaulting Capitol Police officer with chair on #Jan6 during the #Capitol attack organized and carried out by violent republicans.
It blows my mind that it's a recorded fact that Larry Ellison sent money and people to help the January 6th coup plotters and Oracle has still not been banned from government contracting.
And that he isn't trying to assemble all of the legal talent to defend himself in Federal court.
