60. Overthrowing democracy is dangerous.,.idiotic

Sat Jan 10, 2026, 12:13 PM

Jan 2026

It's people like her that made the Jan 6 insurrection happen.

No clemency. Shr did the crime. She can do the time.

As far as I am concerned, 9 years was pretty light. They didn't throw on obstruction charges that would have added years to her sentence.

If she dies in prison, so be it. We have plenty of people serving life for three strikes with three non violent drug offenses.
