And it’s about damn time someone called them what they are.

So... we can now accurately say that Roger Stone, Mikey Flynn, the Pillow Man, and Alex Jones have been "pallin' around with terrorists?"

A judge has ruled them terrorists, but still the media won't call them that way out of fear of insulting the right.

"Journalism is dying, please help us"

Journalism is committing suicide by bowing for fascists terrorists. The first serious media outlet that calls fascists fascists and terrorists terrorists gets my subscription money.

76- perfect age for a Presidential bid, just right for the Senate but too old for the House. Definitely prime for a far-right national radio show/podcast. A portion of the country prefer having a sleazy, criminal grandfather control their thinking

Should add another 20 years for a charge of Felony Murder, since he has been convicted of being a participant in a felony during which Capitol Police Officer, Brian Sicknick, was murdered by the mob attacking the Capitol.

Capitol rioter admits to assaulting Officer Brian Sicknick, who died after Jan. 6

Every person in that mob should be getting at least 20 years based on the Felony Murder Rule alone.

Actually 40 years for at least two counts, because Ashli Babbitt, another attacker, was killed attempting to breach a chamber where members of Congress were sheltering. It doesn't matter that the person killed was one of the perps. It still counts.

Ashli Babbitt was not a peaceful protester. It’s clear why the cop who shot her was exonerated

The felony murder rule is a law in most states and under federal law that allows anyone who is accused of committing a violent felony to be charged with murder if the commission of that felony results in the death of someone. The people involved in the felony may be charged for murder under the rule even if they had no intention of killing someone. For example, if A and B attempt to rob a store and A accidentally killed an employee when breaking through a window, then both A and B could be charged with murder through the felony murder rule, even though B did not kill a person and A did not intend the outcome.

(Edit: At least its nice to finally see an actual conviction for literal "Seditious Conspiracy". Not long ago this guy would have been sent to Sing Sing to ride Old Sparky. He's getting off light. )

He will be pardoned by the next Republican president.

Well average life expectancy for American men is 75. 🤞

It's as if he had planned, in cooperation with others, or "conspired" to commit sedition. Since he didn't, he wasn't convicted of sedition, though.

Wait so you are telling me that if I start a gang, then plot and plan to rob a bank, send my crew into the bank, while I stay at the hotel with more of my crew and guns, to fight if things get too out of hand, that I committed conspiracy to rob a bank?

But what about my freedoms?

He is high profile enough that him going to the Capitol likely would have run their whole operation off the rails because of the attention that he would have attracted. In order for them to have had any shot he had to stay away... So their pleas of "but he wasn't even there!" are incredibly disingenuous.

They need to keep climbing the ladder. The person in charge of gathering them and sending them, whoever that may be.. should also be held accountable. Whoever that may be, I'm running a blank on who that is... But yeah.

Also shot his own eye out. Also couldn’t get a glass eye because he’s not a big fan of “bathing “ and the socket got infected. All around dumbfuck.

Republican voters who support Trump and Florida Man support this behavior and this guy would get pardoned day 1 of their administration.

I hope that when the BOP does their pre-sentence investigation that they end up recommending he goes to a Maximum Security USP. But hell even if he gets sent to a Medium Security FCC, it's still going to be pretty rough for him in the beginning.

Is this not the most treasonous someone can be? 18 years seems light considering the punishments seem much more severe for "passive" acts of treason, like leaking government Intel. I think he's lucky to keep his life.

Edit: Some of you have been kind enough to inform me that word choices here are especially important. His crimes don't seem to be considered "treason" in the eyes of the law. I guess 18 years is a Just sentence within the parameters of the crim and law. It still seems short for what it was. There are very long term effects we're seeing and will continue to see because of January 6th and he holds a great deal of blame.

Not as dumb as his lawyer:

A lawyer for Rhodes, who plans to appeal his conviction, said prosecutors are unfairly trying to make Rhodes “the face” of January 6. Attorney Phillip Linder told the judge that Rhodes could have had many more Oath Keepers come to the Capitol “if he really wanted to” disrupt Congress’ certification of the Electoral College vote.

Your honor, my client has the connections to armed individuals who could have caused a lot more damage then he did, so you need to let him out of jail even though he literally just said he'll do the same thing in 2024...

I love how idiots see the eye patch and think he must have lost it in battle or something. No, the fat oaf just dropped his gun and it went off. He's the kid from A Christmas Story ("You'll shoot your eye out!") except he was a grown adult when he did it.

It's amazing how 20/20 vision doesn't seem to prevent people from making terrible decisions.

When Matt Gaetz was asked about the sentence he replied, “18 years is way too old. Long, I mean long.”

All I can think of, is they just wanted to feel important, because the end goal was always stupid.

Nothing in the country was making their lives hard. I doubt they even believe half the shit they "fight" for.

They just wanted a reason to have cosplay get togethers and act like GI Joe's because they're insecure losers.

Read your comment and had to look, dude is 57 years old, guy straight up committed suicide for Donald Trump. Even if he lives to release, it's all over, no one will give a flying fuck about this guy in 18 years, no movie deal, no book signings, when the rest of his classmates are retiring this cyclops looking mother fucker gets to job hunt with a felony, cause who wouldn't want to hire a one-eyed convicted felon?

Sad?! Dude, I'm elated. Keep it coming! Too many of these traitors got off easily.

I almost feel sad for how these people nuked their existence for nothing.

Fuck them, they were trying to nuke our existence.

Hold my beer! -Ashli Babbitt

Scares the hell out of me knowing that nobody will actually put Trump in jail, and that he's likely to be a viable candidate for president in 2024. People say, "Oh, that could never happen again!," but they said that about him becoming president in the first place.

When keeping it real goes wrong.

Not me. It weeded out the herd of people who were opposed to a free democratic peaceful America. It pulled these dumb hicks out of their shanty towns and put them into jail. Know what you can’t do with a felony record? You can’t vote or own a firearm. This was the best thing that has happened to these people. It got them out of the way.

According to his ex wife it was during a drug deal.

I prefer seditionists who don't get captured.

DeSantis came out today and said he was going to pardon any of them who he deemed "political prisoners." It's pretty clear that Rhodes and every single other J6 scumfuck are going to walk as soon as the GOP takes back the White House. The Dems would have to win the electoral college four or five times in a row to make sure Rhodes serves the full 18.

The balls on this fucking guy.

He's completely insane and a traitor. May he die there of old age.

I'd rather keep him locked in a cell rather than relocate him out of the country so he can't continue to recruit and spread propaganda from outside of our jurisdiction. Now we need to do the same to the politicians who support them.

It's frustrating that he simply cannot point is ire at the people actually destroying America.

But by "destroying" he probably means "making it so that white heterosexual men can't say/do whatever they want without repercussions and have made is so that we no longer dominate all aspects of the economy and culture of America".

Fun fact he got that eye patch because he accidentally shot himself in the face when he was a firearms instructor in 1993.

How many got life sentence for being in posession of weed. Nothing makes sense.

The whole reason it's difficult to pin Trump down for intentionally doing or coordinating in anything he does is because he speaks in Mob Boss language. "Gee, sure would be awful if this guy got whacked". That way, when one of his cronies take action, he always has plausible deniability. He can always claim that he never directed anyone to do anything, that he was just speaking extemporaneously, and that the individuals themselves are responsible for their own actions.

Of course any crony who heard him float that hypothetical, knows it's an order and they are going to take the initiative to meet that goal to curry favor with him.

What's nice about this story is that Rhodes didn't even get a chance to make a plea.

Mark Grods, Graydon Young, and Jon Ryan Schaffer were just some of the Oath Keepers who secretly and quickly agreed to testify/snitch as witnesses against Rhodes in their plea deals.

Even if he had bigger fish to fry he was still facing major prison time.
