A fmr ldr in the #FarRight #ProudBoys was sentenced Thurs to #17years in #prison, just shy of the longest #punishment imposed on a participant in the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection at the US Capitol.

“That day broke our tradition of #PeacefulTransferOfPower,” said US Dist Judge Timothy J. Kelly as he #sentenced #JosephBiggs, 39, of FL. “We don’t have it anymore.”

I am in favor of shock treatment for stupid evangelicals, ie, shock them with the fact Christians were singing worship songs while others were put up a death threat and tried to murder Americans.

Heard #Trump say that his arraignment on charges of #conspiracy and #obstruction of an official proceeding in trying to prevent the #PeacefulTransferOfPower is a "Sad day for #America".

He's right about that, but not in the way he means.

“Both… were involved in efforts to get Trump to tell the rioters to go home, & then to commit to a #PeacefulTransferOfPower to #Biden.

“Both testified before the #Jan6 House select cmte, appearing for videotaped interviews in which both provided memories about the day. The cmte, in turn, repeatedly played clips of their testimony at some of its public hearings.

“Decisions, actually.

“As prosecutors proceed along two tracks — Donald Trump’s handling of #classified material at #MarALago & his role in seeking to prevent the #PeacefulTransferOfPower — it’s essential to keep in mind: This shouldn’t be a choice about which case to pursue. Both implicate important governmental interests. This is not a matter of either/or.”

Growing up, I learned that the peaceful transfer of power was one of the distinctions between the United States and nations with unstable regimes. I always took that for granted.

If it wasn’t for Trumpism, I might still.
