Someone do me a favor and post or send me a link of Trump saying or telling his supporters to go into the capital building an do his bidding. Or did Trump say march onto the building and blah blah whatever he said to fire his supporters up.
Cause strangely I swore this was a free will country, and unless someone has a gun to your head or love ones head and telling you to do something you can choose to do so or not that's called free will.
How is it I'm teaching my very own 14 and 12 year old that very same concept of accountability and responsibility when grown ppl can't. If you came to the march and saw ppl storming the building common sense would say nah I didn't come here for that and turn an walk away. If you was arrested and charged for being in the building it's because YOU choosed to enter. So stop blaming others for your choice, and Trump had nor has nothing to do with a person free will. Dang liberals yo, I find it funny with blatant hypocrisy.
The real bitterness won't hit them 'til they get a Trump fundraising e-mail for 2024 telling them they haven't given enough.
He got what he put out there trusting Trump is and will never be a good idea. Trump going to jail also. He was the worst ever in the white house
I do not feel bad that his family can't "pay the bills". He did the crime…a crime against the entire nation. Now…do the time!
Guy's where he belongs but don't worry trump will be joining him shortly!
No one was taking over the Capitol with flag poles and flags. But 2020 riots seem to be the biggest attack on America. 27 people died, all major cities under siege and billions in damages, now that's an attack on America.
Lock him up! Trump I mean.
Hope you enjoy your stay..
.. be sure to send trump a letter about your journey and thanking him for your seven years of free meals and laundry service…
What was that that you patriots yelled…? LAW AND ORDER! Sounds like that family separation act finally hit home…
Sorry, but the leniency test for remorse is only political persecution. Being remorseful for actions is not, and never, should be a condition on political or religious beliefs because that DOES violate the first amendment!
"If you can't do the time, don't do the crime."
All for an absolute piece of garbage…unreal
I'll donate 0 cents to a trumps cause or anyone connected to him.
It sounds sad but most Americans go through this.
Yeah I'd say it to if I'm losing my house.
Problems could be solved if Trump just croaks on his own.
Hard way to learn what was so obvious to others. So sorry for these two beautiful women! They are absolutely right about Trump He should be in prison.
I hope all this people get a long time in prison
He taught them to think for themselves but he doesn’t think for himself…clearly.
If he’s that good why was he carrying a gun
Those girls are so brainwashed
Should be life
Anyone praising this is obviously not for justice. The current president has bailed out members who have destroyed peoples lives during BLM protest. Justice is very one sided!
His kids are the same way. He brain washed those girls.
I love his daughters and empathize with them deeply. I used to be able to talk to my parents, but once they began blindly following Trump, they felt more in common with him than with me. Their first born kid.
All the positive things they taught me as a kid got swallowed up by their political views.
They are rightfully angry.
Respect for the son. Intelligent and brave for turning in his own father.
Scott MacFarlane looks just like Guy Smiley from Sesame Street. I bet he gets that a lot.
Funny how you think anyone in Congress cares about any of the common people. Just saying
I believe that everyone who did crash the white house should be punished. And for all you who aren't multi millionaires or billionaires Congress doesn't care about you.
lmfao…go directly to jail…do not pass go…do not collect $200
He can be out in 5 years that’s not bad for treason.
They'll reduce his sentence mark my word
Bullsh*t, her daddy meant what he said. He's a grown man and he made the choice to do what he did. He got what he deserved. Stand up to daddy and say, you were wrong. Blaming trump for his actions. Take it like a man.
They should go after all the people that riot what about the George Floyd riots none of those people were prosecuted for being standing up for your rights in the George Floyd case they burned down business that people spent thier whole life for thier jobs to have it destroyed by riots and they weren't held accountable so why not this was just as bad
The only positive point in the inadequate sentencing is that they need to strengthen their "domestic terrorism" charges.
The daughters may be two of the smartest Texans.
But DON'T SEND MONEY!!! Still a guilty traitor!!
Well 15 years would’ve been great, bringing that AR to the capital… I remember when the choices made that day by the ppl would’ve been considered treason and a firing squad for those that infracted the government on that level
Why should their remorse even matter? They did it! Anybody with half a brain knows it was wrong. Any remorse they may feel is because they got caught. Their so-called remorse shouldn't play into anything.
He should have just complied with the officers commands…;-)
Bye LOSER! Stupid people deserve exactly what they get I have zero remorse for him at all. This makes life as a DEMOCRAT very SWEET just to witness these convictions👍Lovin it!
The son raised $186,000 for his college fund on gofundme. Not too shabby!
Thank goodness he was found guilty. Everyone who stormed the capital that day should be found guilty
Should be life in prison. Every Person who voted for Trump must be sent to prison for life
The one daughter sounds like a air head and the other sounds responsible lol
I do believe trump should serve prison time for this let alone taking documents from the white house. Obviously he was going to sell us out or threaten us with it
