As awful as this whole scene was, it was a great teaching moment for my kids. They were witnesses and participants in a few BLM marches where they saw a broad spectrum of people marching peacefully side by side and also saw the brutal police response in media (fortunately, they were spared any direct experience of brutality). The differences in what we witnessed yesterday could not have been more stark and they picked it up immediately.

That one makes a lot more sense once you realise who owns Blackwater.

Absolutely agree. I don’t think he’s missed a weekend or so during his entire term playing golf.

They may have identified him and published his real name, but he’ll always be Via Getty in our hearts.

Yeah, even his scummiest pardons weren’t so much to help those he pardoned, but because of perceived benefit to himself. Need to curry favour with Eric Prince? Pardon the Blackwater sleaze bags. Want to keep Roger Stone and Paul Manafort loyal to you? Pardon them now, and they will be grateful little toadies.
Blanket pardoning of the putschists would only leave himself exposed as the instigator and draw unwanted attention. Besides, they are losers for getting arrested.

Oh, it totally will. White people get bail, lower sentences, and they’re also less likely to get the death penalty.

Could be a nod to the World Ice Theory beloved of Nazis, or to the Cold Winters pseudoscience popular among white supremacists.

The joke on heavy metal “blogs/aggregators” is that this is the first time he’s been of interest in a looooong time.

This pains me to say, but in today’s world you gotta put a (/s) tag on that. I have heard more than one MAGAt saying that very thing in dead seriousness.

Which statement was him expressing his feelings and intentions which one was something that he was browbeaten into reading for the camera? I’ll wait. Of course the reality when you try to divine Trump’s deeper intentions, you run into the problem that there is nothing there. He is purely reactive. I believe that pardoning the insurrectionists even though he finds them personally distasteful and “low class” is likely just because it is a way to get revenge at Congress for betraying him.

I hope the charges take intent into consideration. They didn’t break in to make a mess and steal mail. There is evidently ample material online of their planning of this. If someone walks into a crowded place with a bomb vest on, and doesn’t themselves up, it isn’t just simple possession of illegal explosives they’re going to be charged with.
Whatever they intended to do if they found Pelosi or others in their offices, that needs to be in the charges as well.
