I see a flurry of robocalls coming from GOP fundraisers to "own the libs" by paying that off for them.

Well, 2 more of the insurrectionists have gotten significant prison sentences.

Kyle Fitzsimons got 7 years.

The Proud Boy known as "Milkshake" (Daniel Scott) got 5.

Not in this story is the part about Fitzsimon begging for money, then being ordered by the judge to use at least some of it to pay for his public defender. His wife has been begging, complaining how much it cost for them to deal with this. 
Of course, if he had pled guilty (or maybe not done it in the first place), then the costs would be much less.

Hi Joe,

I'm thinking that some judges need to call these folks back into court for an update:  QAnon Shaman, who pleaded guilty and made a heartfelt apology in Jan. 6 case, has changed his mind and wants his plea reversed (yahoo.com)

See what they say then.

Hi Jerry,

Great. Let him.

Let him rescind his guilty plea. 
Then put him back in jail (subject to release on bail), reinstate ALL the charges and try him.

He did the 'cry in front of the judge and sound all sorry & shit' thing, let him face trial, almost certainly be found guilty* and then get the 20 year sentence that he originally faced.

* - For those keeping score, NOBODY has been acquitted of all charges. Some have not been convicted of everything they were charged with, but everyone has been found guilty of something.

Remember Trump’s supporters all cheered when he said the cops should feel free to rough people up like they used to? Hit their heads on the roofs of police cars and all that? The Q Shaman says part of the reason he plead guilty was that he’d spent a very short while in solitary confinement, which he called ‘soft torture’. Seriously.
 

These right wing assholes cheer the idea of cops beating confessions out of suspects, but when the shoe is on the other foot then suddenly being left alone in a cell counts as torture. What a bunch of grade-A fucking snowflakes.

May we ssume you are not referring to Associated Press, but  referring to this:

"Trump made the claim in a post on his Truth Social platform".

Hi John,

Well, the last time he posted there about an indictment coming down on him, it did happen.

One can only hope.

Next he will be getting on board with that "if it's 10 seconds or less it's not really sexual assault" thing.

Oh hell, the MAGA mentality will go one further. Without penetration there is no sexual assault. Clarence Thomas is already verbally on top of it. Brett Kavanaugh is in favor of suffocating any opposition.

Hi John,

It does seem as there is no limit at to what the GOP will try to do keep people from seeing the truth.

And, they try to call themselves the party of 'family values.'

I'm still aghast that there are any guys out there publicly arguing that if you don't last 10 seconds it's not sex.
