Lock Them Up

QAnon believer who led Capitol mob sentenced to five years in prison – – Axios

Doug Jensen sentenced

This is the guy whose mob the Capitol Police officer blocked from attacking Pence, they got within 40 feet of the VP. The officer got the mob to chase him instead, diverting them from Pence’s location. One of the many heroes that day.

  1. lock them ALL up including you-know-who and you-know-who’s little helpers

  2. heilman yesterday on nicole wallace show said instead of sending lumps of coal to his enemies this christmas he’s sending them one of those ridiculous NFTs (see top right of thread).  can’t imagine why he would waste $99 bucks plus line the pockets of the grifting carnival barker selling them.  easier and cheaper to just make his own with a little cut & paste.  something on the order of what mary trump did according to newsweek:

    … she tweeted an edited version of a NFT trading card showing her uncle in a superhero outfit with lasers shooting out of his eyes. However, the edited version replaces Trump’s face with that of Darth, a popular anonymous Twitter account pretending to be a red panda.

    a better coal lump alternative gift along that line for heilman would be substituting his hated enemy’s face on the most repulsive pic of the gross guy’s body.

  3. more suggestions from cartoonists

    [this one depicting lincoln in the middle and teddy roosevelt swinging from the vine – don’t know who other one is supposed to be,  washington/jefferson?]

  4. stephen’s take

    Dec 15, 2022

    The former president is jumping into the red-hot NFT market with his own trading card line, the current president doesn’t think he’s too old to run for re-election, and Elon Musk lied when he said he wouldn’t ban the Twitter account that tracks his private jet.

  5. The gopenoids dont care about ANYTHING he’s said or done–the ONLY thing they care about is that he seems to lose elections.  

    Pitiful.

    Can politics kill you? Research says the answer increasingly is yes. – The Washington Post

    As the coronavirus pandemic approaches its third full winter, two studies reveal an uncomfortable truth: The toxicity of partisan politics is fueling an overall increase in mortality rates for working-age Americans.

     

    In one study, researchers concluded that people living in more-conservative parts of the United States disproportionately bore the burden of illness and death linked to covid-19. The other, which looked at health outcomes more broadly, found that the more conservative a state’s policies, the shorter the lives of working-age people.

    […]

    The study, published this month in the Lancet Regional Health-Americas, found that the more conservative the voting records of members of Congress and state legislators, the higher the age-adjusted covid mortality rates — even after taking into account the racial, education and income characteristics of each congressional district along with vaccination rates.

    […]

    The division in American politics has grown increasingly caustic and polarized, but it wasn’t always this way.

    From the 1930s to the 1970s, there were major investments to improve the lives of vulnerable people nationwide. The Social Security Act of 1935. Medicare and Medicaid in 1965. Before these federal programs, the nation was a hodgepodge of state programs that varied widely, said University of Washington political scientist Jake Grumbach, a co-author of a study on the effects of state policy on the mortality of working-age adults published in October in the journal PLOS One.

     
     

    Everyone saw benefits, but the federal legislation from earlier decades “pulled the poorer states up faster,” Grumbach said, adding that “you saw a convergence between states” in terms of health outcomes.

    Then came the breakdown of the New Deal coalition. The nationalization of media. Increased money in politics. And the social upheaval of the 1960s and ’70s — the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, the sexual revolution, environmentalism.

    “All of those things contributed to polarization,” Grumbach said, adding that the rupture began “kicking up in the ’90s” and has really taken hold since 2010, an era that “saw the real radicalization of the Republican Party … that culminated with Trump.”

  7. BREAKING | NBC News: Edward Kelley, 33, awaiting trial on charges tied to assaulting police at the Capitol on January 6th, has been charged by the FBI with obtaining a list of law enforcement who investigated his alleged crimes and later discussed plans to kill the investigators.

  8. What’s going on in N.C.?

    The North Carolina Supreme Court on Friday struck down a state voter identification law, ruling that Republican lawmakers acted unconstitutionally to minimize Democratic voters’ power with a law that intentionally discriminated against Black voters.
     

    “We hold that the three-judge panel’s findings of fact are supported by competent evidence showing that the statute was motivated by a racially discriminatory purpose,” Associate Justice Anita Earls wrote for the majority in the 89-page ruling. “The provisions enacted … were formulated with an impermissible intent to discriminate against African American voters in violation of the North Carolina Constitution.”
     

    Senate Bill 824 required every voter to present one of a few specific forms of photo identification, a measure the justices ruled was passed in part to discriminate against Black voters. Despite most voters having at least one of the forms of identification, the risk of having voters suppressed was very real, they said.

    NC?  Since when?

  9. I lived in NC oncet.   But that was 1969, a whole different world.   Most I knew liked to go to Nags Head and such, but I’d already seen by then quite enough sunny beaches, thank you, so I never made the scene.

  11. I used to visit there paddling in the Nantahala River and hiking along the AT. It was lily white. And what little time I spent in Raleigh-Durham felt like Birmingham in the 60s, but without dogs and fire hoses.

  15. Alex and I agree. Too much Musk and too much Trump, and we can’t just avert our eyes. 

    It’s been a very long tim e since I saw the  People  Versus Larry Flynt and had forgotten (a) how good it is and (b) what an incredible cast it had. James Carville, Larry Flynt and Courtney Love at the top of the improbable list.

  16. The  DOJ has charged nearly 1,000 of these bozos . I’m wondering just what their record is at this point.  I have yet to hear of one defendant winning. 
     
    They have so many hides on the barn door , their gonna need a new barn.

  18. Trading cards  ?? 
    As a grift this is officially palookaville .
     
    Even Bannon jumped off the ship. And that is one fat rat..
    The dumpster fire has jumped to their  giant mountain  of worn out tires the GOP once called “ideas and principals”. 
     
    And that thing is going to burn for years. Pouring out a lot of black smoke and soot. 

  19. BB –
     
    First LP I ever bought was Glenn Millers Greatest Hits .
    In The Mood  I was about 8 years old. I did it hunting empty Coke bottles 5 cents each , and the name of where it was first filled on the bottom. 
     
    That was always a twofer for me when you bought one , first thing,  you looked at the bottom to see it’s journey to you, and when you found an empty the same thing. 
    There was a lot romance in a Coke bottle back then. 
    Now off to hear Penn. 6-5000 . 
     

  21. Glenn Miller was lost Dec. 15 1944 .
     
    The band played the gig in Paris 76 years ago tonight.
    The 101st Airborne was in the backs of Duce and a Halfs headed for the Battle of the Bulge,  my dad was driving one of those Studebakers.
