In an interview published Friday by New Hampshire Public Radio (NHPR), US navy veteran Jason Riddle said: “It’s almost like [Trump] was trying to say it didn’t happen. And it happened. I did those things, and they weren’t pardonable.
“I don’t want the pardon. And I … reject the pardon.”
Riddle entered the US Senate parliamentarian’s office, drank a bottle of wine, stole a book and inflicted damage at the Capitol when Trump supporters attacked the building on 6 January 2021 in a desperate attempt to the then president in office after he lost the presidency to Joe Biden weeks earlier, according to court documents. He received a 90-day prison sentence and was fined $750 in April 2022 for pleading guilty to committing misdemeanors in an attack that was linked to several deaths, including officer suicides.
they’re desperate and will latch onto anything that gives them relief from their daily lives. throughout human history that’s been vice and extremism. a small number of gross looking men have directed that extremism towards the right wing to the detriment of the left. they got us here because the left too often said “these are the weapons of the enemy. i do not need them. i will not use them.”
well.
we lost the war because we refused to pick up any weapons. or at least the politicians we’d most be able to help did. the right monopolized violence, technological mass media, and populism. the left saw this, and just as in the 1920s, refused to push the extremists, the fascists, nazis, bolsheviks, and militarists, out of power. too much of the focus was placed on following the proper order of procedure. none was placed on “how do we hold government accountable”
why?
nacy pelosi doesn’t want an accountable government. these nut jobs have tried to kill her and her husband, but ooooh that stock portfolio tho. and she’s not the only one
