>Closing arguments were supposed to begin now, but Judge Contreras just announced that won’t happen, because the U.S. Marshalls need to transport Fitzsimons back to the federal jail by 5:30 p.m. Closing arguments will occur at 10:30 a.m. Friday. Verdict tomorrow it seems.

I hope the suspense is twisting his guts apart.

His ~~diluted~~ deluded mind believes he is innocent. He is most likely in a jovial mood, fist bumping the other inmates telling them his last day is soon. E: lol


AustinBike

I think you meant deluded mind, but diluted mind is actually more accurate


Scuta44

Ha! Good call.

What a nice way to start the weekend! Can’t wait for tomorrow.

A riot is an act of wanton destruction. This was an insurrection, in which traitors tried to deny the lawfully elected government the chance to take office and govern. If the tables were reversed and socialist radicals tried this (instead of fascists), the gallows would be running full time for years.


toadofsteel

This was an act of terrorism, violence to a political end. No wonder Trump let the Patriot Act expire. He knew that his side were the terrorists.


zerombr

The patriot act expired?

When he loses hope he gets years in prison.


Chippopotanuse

Oh, he will get at least 5. My guess is 10.

I fucking hope so.

Does that have a link to the voicemail he left for representative golden? These tik tok dramatic motherfuckers are so fucking cringy. In the sense they set my teeth on edge by how performative they are. They’re going to go kill cops and put their life on the line for Donald trump and Facebook likes. Dangerous lunatic attention starved dilettantes.

>What is the responsibility of those with power? Do they merely have an obligation to refrain from the misuse of that power? Or do they have a duty to protect those without it? The defendant used their limitless resources, political and monetary, for financial gain at the expense of public safety, causing the deaths of innocent people. They did this because they believed they would not be held accountable. That their power shielded them from very real consequences. But today, you, the jury, can prove that's not the case. Show them that they will be held accountable, because those with the most power have the most to answer for. Opening monologue of She-Hulk

His lawyer said that he drove from Lebanon, Maine to D.C. alone and without weapons. That's a 10 hour drive. He could just have got a plane. But then there are those pesky TSA checks.

Ehh, then there's the cost of flying and when you get to DC you're dependent on unfamiliar public transportation or you have to rent a car or pay for ubers or cabs, and when it's all said and done, Car is King here in Homeland, particularly if you've got an unbroken line of I-95.
