This may be my last post. Anything you say or have EVER said, WILL be held against you by the authoritarian police state. Even if you have changed your mind / view since. It doesn't matter which party is in power, both are turning into fascists and the People have now clearly become the enemy of the State.

Nice weather we are having in Milwaukee. How are those Cubs doing?
You can't yell fire in a crowded theater. Words matter. Evidently his words regarding a civil war and being armed to the teeth ready and waiting for the go-ahead to strike gave some pause. Conspiring to overturn a government isn't about free speech.

It was seditious conspiracy.
Seditious conspiracy is, as should be obvious, conspiring to commit sedition.

It should be noted that Rhodes wasnt convicted by the government. He was charged by the government with the crime, a jury of his peers heard their case and his defense, and common citizens convicted him of the crime after hearing both sides.

As I said earlier, hopefully the nitwit gets the max.

Rhodes was there at the War Room at the Willis, specifically with Roger Stone, John Eastman, Rudy Giuliani, Christina Bobb, Alex Jones, and/or Steve Bannon.

It would be interesting to hear him recount what he heard there.

The next REpublican President will pardon all of these Jan 6th nutjobs, so not as big of a deal as we all think.

A few years off a nutjobs life...nothing more...nothingburger overplayed by the fake news to sell ads, and encite Dem voters.

It worked quite well.

My guess is that he will volunteer to talk. He was a bit reticent before his trial, but at this point he has nothing to lose and everything to gain.

He was convicted of sedition, and conspiracy over and beyond that. "Seditious Conspiracy" is not a separate entity.

There is ZERO way the next Republican President will do that. Absolutely no way.

Even TRUMP didn't attempt to pardon his own foot soldiers.

What experiences does he have to try to get a reduction?

OK, you go to federal prison for two years and tell me how great it was.

The defense attorneys went on record and said it was a fair trial, and they respect the DOJ and the judge who oversaw the trial.
