I'll bet he thinks the Pardoner-in-Chief has his back. It's a bit chancy though.
And oh, I don't feel bad for him.

Yes, but still on life support "until his family can arrive". This suggests that they are going to say their final goodbyes.
Thanks, MAGA scum.

Neither do I.

I don't feel bad for him. I do however, feel bad for his family.
No, I get that. I just wonder what they had to say when he told them Daddy was headed to DC for a little insurrection. Did Mommy approve?

Mommy is likely to be very mad at Daddy don't you think?
Grinning and waving to the cameras while committing multiple felonies doesn't sound bright to me.
Or it's one of those christian values households where Daddy knows best and Mommy demurs.
I didn't see any bulbs above 40 watts in the entire insurrectionist mob.

Talk about entitlement, eh?
These people are spoiled brats.
We want out president. We didn't lose. The Capitol is our building. Ha, ha, Nancy! I have your lecttern. What are you gonna do about it?
Me, me, me.
ETA: And he's going to jail, and they guy who told him to go to the Capitol and "be strong" goes to South Florida, unless he goes to a New York skyscraper. Trump leaves someone else holding the bag one more time.

Most of this crowd will see no penalty as they simply walked through open doors. Others are likely to do prison. Smiling and waving to the cameras might cause a few to lose their jobs, but walking off with Federal property probably worth thousands and a symbol of our democracy is likely to be serious.
If the guy has a half a brain, he should be returning the podium and turning himself in ASAP.

My guess is that somebody wrote that and told Trump that he is going to read that statement or he is going to prison.

Trump is officially responsible for the murder of a cop.
Anyone know how broadly the felony-murder rule can be applied? Could everyone participating in felonious behavior at the Capitol be held responsible for this murder?

Possible, but probably unlikely. There's a point where that is impractical.

Don't forget that all the rioters can also be charged with the killing of Ashli Babbitt under Felony Murder statues.

Under DC law felony murder only applies to a certain set of felonies. I don't think any would apply to the rioters in general. Some might apply to rioters who took certain actions that would fall under the list of applicable felonies.
How about the head instigator? You know, the guy who said" You gotta get your people to fight . . . Because you'll never take back our country with weakness, you have to show strength and you have to be strong." Any blowback on that guy?

God, It's probably the Tanya Roberts story all over again.
Update: It is the Tanya Roberts story all over again. Police man has died of his wounds at the hands of the Trumpers.

I would disagree. I think no one deserves to be executed. The description of climbing through a window does not sound like she was an immediate threat to life. It should have been possible to subdue her using non lethal force. I do note the responsible officer has been suspended.
I understand the 'emotional' issue, the violation some US citizens feel. But this was a few protesters who broke into a public building. This happens all the time. They did not even organise a sit in! They did not line people up against the wall and shoot them; that is what happens in real coups.
Shooting demonstrators in the streets is what happens in third world countries, the outcome of the policing here was good one person shot is one too many. I am not sure what happened to the police officer who died, all that is said it was injuries occurring during the protest, this might mean he fell down stairs. Perhaps someone here knows the nature of his injuries?
That does not mean I support Trump or these right wing nut cases, I would politically be a Saunders supporter. But even right wing nut cases should not be shot down. Police violence does not become right when it is against your political opponents.

She was trying to enter an area where there were politicians sheltering. IIRC. That was the line that couldn't be crossed.
