========== Charges so far - Federal prosecutors in the District have charged more than 725 individuals with various crimes in connection with the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection, when hundreds of rioters forced their way into the U.S. Capitol, the U.S. attorney’s office said Friday. As the country nears the first anniversary of the storming of the Capitol, the U.S. attorney’s office in the District, the largest office of federal prosecutors in the nation, released a breakdown of the arrests and convictions associated with the attack. The Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol was neither a spontaneous act nor an isolated event. Of those arrested, 225 people were charged with assault or resisting arrest. More than 75 of those were charged with using a deadly or dangerous weapon against police officers. The office said 140 police officers, including Capitol officers and members of the D.C. police department, were victimized during the attack. The office said about 10 individuals were charged with assaulting members of the media or destroying their equipment. Some 640 people were charged with entering a restricted federal building or its grounds. And another 75 were charged with entering a restricted area with a deadly weapon. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/12/31/capitol-deadly-attack-insurrection-arrested-convicted/ #PS1insurrection ===== impact 20 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-12-31 ratio 7 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title Charges so far - topic insurrection wordrate 0 words 198 audclicks 1 epoch Lifetime ID 1571469836530863 impress 8 matchedlinkclicks 1 pageid 534332363577954 pagename "Political scrapbook" posted "12/31/2021 20:12" reach 7 title "Prosecutors break down charges, convictions for 725 arrested so far in Jan. 6 attack on U.S. Capitol" type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1571469836530863 ========== Victims of the conspiracy-fantasy money-making machine. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2021/12/january-6-insurrection-us-capitol-riots.html But as adults exercising free will, they have to accept the consequences.

He was always that way; they were always that way. https://www.miamiherald.com/opinion/opn-columns-blogs/leonard-pitts-jr/article255125302.html The disappointing surprise was that so many legislators rushed to defend deceit, corruption, ignorance, and violence, by pretending they didn't happen or were praiseworthy, and by encouraging ordinary people to pretend the same. Maybe those legislators were always that way, and managed to fool us all this time.

Trump would have been nothing politically without bin Laden's efforts to set the stage 15 years earlier. Successful anti-communist efforts in Greece and Turkey, Malaya and the Phllipines, convinced a generation of American leaders that they knew what to do about terrorism. 70 years later we still haven't learned the lesson that the greatest deception is self-deception.

Instead the Trumpists accept no responsibility for their own inciting lies and wants to take down the new fence that helps protect them. #PS1insurrection ===== impact 21 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-03-04 ratio 9 react 2 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 2 title There's always hot air blowing among the violent crazies. topic insurrection wordrate 0 words 107 audclicks 2 audreach 2 engaged 2 ID 1367061116971737 impress 23 likeclickusers 2 likeuimpress 20 likeuusers 17 matchedlinkclicks 2 oimpress 23 oreach 18 posted "03/04/2021 05:54:55 AM" postlinkclicks 2 reach 18 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1367061116971737 ========== All about Trump's insurrection - planned before the election. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/31/us/trump-election-lie.html #PS1insurrection ===== impact 1 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-01-31 ratio 23 react 1 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 1 title All about Trump's insurrection - planned before the topic insurrection wordrate 0 words 10 audclicks 1 audreach 1 engaged 1 ID 1346764292334753 impress 27 likeclickusers 1 likeuimpress 24 likeuusers 22 matchedlinkclicks 1 oimpress 27 oreach 23 posted "01/31/2021 09:38:41 PM" postlinkclicks 1 reach 23 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1346764292334753 ========== How many GOP House members still believe in three strikes? 1) 126, plus state attorneys general, signed on Paxton's Supreme Court lawsuit, fueling the riot 3 weeks later https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/11/us/politics/republicans-trump-election-lawsuit.html 2) 138, plus senators, voted to challenge Electoral College results AFTER the riot https://www.texastribune.org/2021/01/06/ted-cruz-electoral-college/ 3) 197 voted against impeachment a week later https://apnews.com/article/trump-impeachment-vote-capitol-siege-0a6f2a348a6e43f27d5e1dc486027860 Their state legislatures should censure them. https://www.approve-or-expel.net/ == https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/11/us/politics/republicans-trump-election-lawsuit.html #PS1insurrection ===== comments 4 impact 137 impactrate 0 likeimpress 9 negative 0 posted 2021-01-17 ratio 2 react 24 reactrate 0 shares 2 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 9 title How many GOP House members still believe in three strikes? topic insurrection wordrate 0 words 57 audclicks 9 audreach 7 commentsimpress 4 commentsusers 3 engaged 14 ID 1337454236599092 impress 56 likeclickusers 13 likeimpress 9 likeuimpress 42 likeusers 9 likeuusers 42 matchedlinkclicks 3 matchedotherclicks 6 oimpress 56 oreach 52 posted "01/17/2021 01:29:44 PM" postlinkclicks 3 postotherclicks 4 reach 52 sharesimpress 2 sharesusers 1 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1337454236599092 ========== "death threats and hundreds of vile phone calls and emails" Welcome to public life in the age of Trumpism! Thanks to your heroic defense of Second Amendment Rights, anybody is just one good shot away from 15 minutes of fame, at a time and place you least expect it. The ones who mail or call threats are the least of your worries - the FBI might eventually catch up with some of those. It's the ones who make their plans and don't tell anybody in advance you need to worry about. And the ones following the Nazi and Communist models by threatening your family as well. https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2021/01/15/maloney-boebert-capitol-tour-riot/ Your concealed carry won't help that much because the bad guys always get the first shot and the element of surprise. And some of them, noting the pardons for Flynn and Stone, suppose that Trump might pardon them for their heroic patriotism. Don't give them too much credit for accurately discerning the most appropriate targets. It's just a part of daily life for anybody in the public eye, not necessarily politicians. A mostly abstract threat that became concrete a week ago. The National Guard will eventually go home, and then what? https://www.political-scrapbook.net/controversial.html#second%20amendment #PS1insurrection ===== impact 20 impactrate 0 negative 0 posted 2021-01-15 ratio 19 react 1 reactrate 0 shares 1 sharesrate 0 title "death threats and hundreds of vile phone calls topic insurrection wordrate 0 words 198 engaged 1 ID 1336199473391235 impress 22 likeclickusers 1 likeuimpress 18 likeuusers 18 oimpress 22 oreach 19 posted "01/15/2021 11:18:12 AM" reach 19 sharesimpress 1 sharesusers 1 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1336199473391235 ========== Inspiring words for all Americans from an immigrant who has seen it all and achieved great success - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_P-0I6sAck #PS1insurrection ===== impact 6 impactrate 0 likeimpress 3 negative 0 posted 2021-01-10 ratio 3 react 3 reactrate 0 sharesrate 0 title Inspiring words for all Americans from an immigrant who topic insurrection wordrate 0 words 19 engaged 3 ID 1333047300373119 impress 14 likeclickusers 3 likeimpress 3 likeuimpress 10 likeusers 3 likeuusers 9 oimpress 14 oreach 10 posted "01/10/2021 07:58:37 PM" reach 10 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1333047300373119 ========== The attorney general and FBI director should IMMEDIATELY announce that anybody who was present in the US Capitol unlawfully this week should turn himself in to local police, who should hold him for the FBI.

About four sentences should be enough. Do it fast while McConnell is still steamed enough to bring it to immediate trial in the Senate. Meanwhile Pence can offer a Federal pardon to Trump (only) in return for immediate resignation, while also working the 25th Amendment. If Pence still has 2024 ambitions, now is the time to show leadership in a crisis. == #PS1insurrection ===== comments 3 hideall 1 impact 286 impactrate 0 likeimpress 9 negative 1 posted 2021-01-07 ratio 3 react 24 reactrate 0 shares 2 sharesrate 0 sumclicks 9 title Time for a new illustration topic insurrection wordrate 0 words 119 audclicks 9 audreach 7 commentsimpress 3 commentsusers 3 engaged 16 hideallclicks 1 hideallclicksusers 1 ID 1330326287311887 impress 75 likeclickusers 14 likeimpress 9 likeuimpress 53 likeusers 9 likeuusers 53 matchedlinkclicks 5 matchedotherclicks 4 negclicks 1 negusers 1 oimpress 75 oreach 72 posted "01/07/2021 04:42:53 AM" postlinkclicks 5 postotherclicks 3 reach 72 sharesimpress 2 sharesusers 2 type Link URL https://www.facebook.com/politicalscrapbooknet/posts/1330326287311887 ========== Half the Republican senators have courageously refused to take a stand!
