Taranto, who was found with illegal guns and ammunition near Obama’s house, was convicted of those charges in May. In their memo Tuesday, Valdivia and White, asked a judge to sentence Taranto to 27 months in prison.
Laying out the factual background of their request, Valdivia and White told the court Taranto participated in the Jan. 6 attack and subsequently spread conspiracy theories about it.
It’s quite surreal to live through what will one day be a course on governmental collapse in Europe.
Please learn from this. It will happen where you live. Look at Orban and Edrogan, as well as the revolving face of UK fascism, and soon Germany. Kill your local fascists before they get power. They cannot be reasoned with.
People like to think its just one or two countries going through a spell but human rights watch has been banging this drum for a long time, freedoms are erroding everywhere at a methodical pace. Don’t let yours go just because someone’s elses are going faster.
I have been in the mental state of “I guess if I’m living through significant history that people will read about decades from now, I should at least pay attention and appreciate the weight of it, in addition to trying to actually help people” for about two orders of magnitude longer than the duration our brains evolved to handle.
It would be really, really swell if that could stop for a while and not constantly grind in a worse and worse direction.
Not if they can help it.
I was wondering what you were referring to as ‘they’, so I reread my comment and it occurs to me I should have worded it, ‘a course on governmental collapse, taught in European universities.’
Hopefully that’s clarifying.
I think he’s meaning, they are hoping to start ww3 and destroy Europe before we collapse.
Or the likes of Bannon hope to have a fascist takeover of Europe, too. You know, to “save” Western culture while actually destroying everything good about Western culture, disrupting any Enlightenment and bringing about a “dark enlightenment” (WTAF).
“Anyone caught teaching will be sent to reeducation camp”
The Department of Justice (DOJ) this week placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they wrote in a court filing that on Jan. 6, 2021, “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol,” a source familiar with the personnel moves told Democracy Docket.
The two D.C. federal prosecutors, Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White, were locked out of their devices and placed on leave just hours after filing a sentencing memo in the department’s case against Taylor Taranto, a former Jan. 6 defendant, according to ABC News, which first reported on the removals.
mob of rioters
And calling them “rioters” is being overly nice.
