    They should be tried and sentenced for treason.

    Hit them with the max sentence so that in the future people think twice about doing what they did.

    ive said it before and ill say it again. if andrew jackson had been president on january 6th he would have personally led the military in putting it down and then personally hung every one of those traitors as well as those who incited them on the steps of the capitol.

    No one would ever jokingly say they are storming something (especially after October 9, 1987) when they weren't actually storming it, right?

    ...you know...

    ...I'm always looking for the funny.

    That's me. It's who I am. It's what I do.

    Especially here.

    (SPOILER ALERT- I'm one of those rare Negroes who got most of that Seinfeld deadpan humor)

    ...I'd love to know what the set-up for this "joke" was...because this is a hell of a punchline...;)

    Indeed, Kevin, indeed. You're disgraceful and spineless to the extent you should resign your elected office, as you can't represent people other than your one master.

    CAPITOL RIOTPelosi Office Guy ...I CALLED HER 'BIATCH,' NOT 'b****'

    The man charged with breaking into Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office during the Capitol riots insists he wasn't calling her a "b****" on paper -- he was just calling her his "biatch" ... so it's not nearly as bad as the feds are making it sound.

    Richard Barnett is set to appear Tuesday in court to make that very argument for why he isn't a dangerous threat ... and should be cut loose pending trial. But, before he tells it to the judge, his attorneys filed docs, explaining this sort of slang defense.

    [​IMG]
    In the docs, obtained by TMZ, Barnett's lawyers say prosecutors' claim he wrote "Nancy, Bigo was here, you b****" on a sheet of paper on her desk is false. Instead, they assert he wrote ... "Hey Nancy Bigo was here biatd." To them, that last word was supposed to be, "biatch." If nothing else, he's guilty of poor penmanship.

    The attorneys argue Barnett combined the "c" and the "h" at the end there -- and that he was going for the slang version of "b****" ... which they note is not as offensive, and might even be considered endearing in some contexts.

    Basically, his attorneys are saying he was just clowning around -- and didn't actually intend to harm and/or threaten her ... despite making himself at home and having his run of the place.

    Barnett was previously denied bail ... but a lot of alleged Capitol rioters have been released from jail since then, based on rulings they do not pose flight risks or other dangers. With that in mind, Barnett's lawyers are hoping to get their client out ASAP.

    b**** and biatch mean pretty much the exact same thing to me in that context. Is that the best argument his lawyers have got?

    Or, we can charge them with appropriate offenses and give them sentences commensurate with the severity of their crimes. We see this same thinking in Republican efforts to criminalize free speech by attaching stiff felony charges to common forms of civil disobedience. It's ugly. We don't need to send messages or make people think twice. We don't need to batter people into thinking in the government-approved way.
