This week, Karl Rove, the political genius who guided former President George W. Bush to two election victories, predicted that Trump's pledge to review all the cases of the January 6 defendants and pardon those who deserve clemency"will sink his campaign. There isn't an innocent person in the whole bunch. They illegally trespassed on government property while official proceedings were underway."
Rove rejected claims that the mostly peaceful January 6 demonstrators should be treated the same way that those demonstrating against the death of George Floyd in 2020 while in the custody of Minneapolis police officers were, saying "none of the Floyd protesters terrified the members of Congress like the January 6 crowd did. The billions of dollars in property damage and the 19 deaths that occurred during the Floyd protests did not directly challenge the right of the national government's rule over the people. They were not insurrectionists."
One of the "thugs" that Rove feels needs to be taught to obey the law is 71-year-old grandmother Rebecca Lavrenz. This week she was convicted of entering the Capitol through wide-open doors at 2:43 pm on January 6, 2021 and exiting at 2:53 pm. The penalty for her misdemeanor infractions could amount to fines up to $200,000 and up to one year of imprisonment.
Meanwhile, the Department of Justice (DOJ) has refused to disclose the identity of suspected FBI agents present in the January 6 crowd. January 6 defendant William Pope asserts that "they are witnesses crucial to my defense." A redacted DOJ spokesman explained that "every advanced nation has secret police. We can't expect to keep up with our adversaries if we don't exploit this same capability. The enemies of democracy are the most serious problem this country has ever had to face. Suppressing this threat is a risky job. The identities of the brave men, women and non-binary individuals doing this job must remain private. There is already enough evidence to convict Mr. Pope without any testimony from these agents."

Oh, Good Lord.
There's a pony in this post by joescabinboy, somewhere. The piles of pony plop are large enough.
Hating on and sneering at every effective conservative, and defending every Lefty political tool that comes along, and he's been doing it for YEARS in stealth mode.
We're "pushing him that way".
He sure slipped up with that one.
If you, kiryandil, started baggin' on me nonstop, it could NEVER "push me towards liberalism".
That's because there's not a liberal bone in my body.
Zuck doesn’t claim an ideology, but clearly states his moderation ability. I think he’s a bit heavy handed. But I have as many lib friends complaining about moderation/banning as I do conservative friends on his site. Of course that’s anecdotal, but my experience. I have a conservative friend who got a 30 day time out for suggesting he’d like to take a concrete filled lead pipe to AOC’s head. I was surprised he wasn’t banned and turned over to authorities.
No thanks. I’d prefer to see you (and all other Stealth Liberals) banned.
But thanks for asking.
First mistake, while not liberal, I’m also not stealth with my thoughts. I do think there’s a fear my thoughts and information may gain traction. But if your goal is some weird vendetta, have at it. While being silenced is not my goal, if it happens, my world continues.
"joescabinboy"
NOTHING that occurs on or off this forum could push me to liberalism. You are a liberal, so closeted, that you yourself don't understand you are.
Sure. At least I’m now your goal. Whatever that’s worth.
