and plastered on the internet every fucking day since January 6, 2021. (if it was available - maybe just now he is releasing the pic?)

It should be used right fucking now by every Democrat running for office.

It should be shown in the halls of Congress where Marge from GA showed Hunter's dick pics.

Pardoning this and trying to press felony charges for throwing a sandwich? How ignorant are people, anyway, that they have 1 ounce of support for this man, this administration? It seems America's problems are pretty deep rooted.

I am reminded of a sign I saw during the election: a picture of DJT's face, with "Low Crime" printed below and to the right, a picture of Kamala Harris's face, with "More Crime" printed below (or words to that effect; my memory's not as good as it was).

Yes, there will be less Crime with DJT (the convicted felon) as president and more crime with Kamala Harris (the former PROSECUTOR and ATTORNEY GENERAL) as president.

Who the hell was stupid enough to believe that? Probably the same dumbasses who believe that there is such a thing as post-birth abortion and Haitian immigrants in Ohio are eating everyone's pets.

Party of law and order, my ass.

WANTED his Vice President dead. Her was watching it on TV and cheering the anarchy HE incited.

After which 147 MAGA members of Congress rubber stamped the TREASON by voting against certifying the election results.

They ALL should've been locked the fk up.

MAGA love this picture. Absolutely, to the bottom of the black hole in their tiny brains where their souls used to be. They love this. And by MAGA, I mean every Republican who was there that day, every loon who voted for Trump in 2024, every Nazi moron in this weak and failing Country.

They are all traitors to the cause of America, to her principles and dreams.

Every stinkin' one of them.

especially given that the perpetrators are now requesting to be repaid for expenses.

Mysteriously, an updated total has eluded me. In 2022, the Capitol architect predicted restoration would cost taxpayers about $30 million. Believe the insurrectionists should be penalized a pro-rated share of these costs.

The only figure I could find was this:

Apr 08, 2022

Federal authorities raised their estimate of property damage due to the January 6 Capitol riot to $2.73 million, according to a Friday court filing in the case of a man who pleaded guilty to participating in the riot, which left windows broken, doors splintered and paintings stained with pepper spray and tear gas.
