Notwithstanding the overwrought political rhetoric by congressional Democrats and Biden administration officials, particularly Attorney General Merrick Garland, portraying the riot as an atrocity on par with such terrorist mass-murder strikes as the 9/11 attacks, the Justice Department did not charge Hodgkins with anything like a terrorism crime — no charge of sedition or insurrection. He was instead permitted to plead guilty to a single count of obstructing a congressional proceeding.
In order to inflate the gravity of the misconduct, the Justice Department has been hyping the potential exposure of up to 20 years’ incarceration prescribed by the relevant obstruction statute. But the statutory terms are general, applying to all offenders guilty of obstructing congressional proceedings, no matter how serious or comparatively trivial the conduct.
Here, for all their huffing and puffing, the prosecutors urged an 18-month sentence. Such a recommendation would, of course, be inconceivably paltry in an actual case of terrorism or insurrection. Yet, Judge Moss properly concluded that the Justice Department’s recommendation was more than twice as harsh as what Hodgkins’s behavior merited.
This was the second sentencing of someone who pleaded guilty for offenses committed on January 6th. The first was Anna Morgan Lloyd who pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct and got probation. So between the two insurrectionist attempting to destroy our Democracy they have been sentenced to eight months cumulative. These sentences certainly do not back up the concept that this was worse than 9-11 or other similar nonsense..
Who knows how many of the other protesters will agree to plead guilty to what Hodgkins pleaded to. Of the approximately 500 people who currently face charges only about 150 of them are charged with obstructing an official proceeding. Most of the rest are being charged with multiple misdemeanors and are unlikely to face jail time.
Of those who face the obstructing an official proceeding charge, how many might be able to cut a deal and plead to a lesser offence. Obviously Hodgkins was considered "front and center" and was seen as an instigator much like the QAnon Shaman. In fact the two were seen multiple times together. But it would also appear that his attorney was quick to make a deal that included pleading guilty to the most serious charge.
Perhaps the state will have to actually go to trial to get a feel for this. Looking at the long list of attorneys willing and able to represent the Capital rioters and given the lack of other pleas, there is obviously a wide gap. It would appear that the State is not giving much up in these settlement discussions and that these attorneys are not backing down either.
But probation for what the majority are being charged with and eight months for the more serious charge of obstructing an official proceeding is probably not what the State was hoping for when they started this all up. Perhaps they can get more than eight months for those few accused of assault of a Federal officer or those who face weapons charges. But they may need to step up their game if they want to satisfy the rabid crowd.

The post pandemic recession has recovered in just two months. An all time record.
The U.S. economic recession triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic officially ended in April 2020, the National Bureau of Economic Research said Monday.
Why it matters: That may seem an odd proclamation, since the economy still has a long way to go and unemployment is elevated well above pre-pandemic levels.
However, trends continue to improve, and we can now date the favorable turning point.
The big picture: The NBER said the recession brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic began in February 2020, making this the shortest recession on record.
Flashback: After the U.S. government in March 2020 issued safety guidelines that began the shut down of much of the economy, April brought the largest one-month employment decline in history.
But by the end of April, things were turning around as unprecedented monetary policy and fiscal actions were taking hold.
The bottom line: Knowing when the recession ended doesn’t change anything. However, it does help us to better understand how the economy works as we study it in hindsight.
It's much bigger news than your cultist behavior here. Seig Heil Mr Trump

You believe that the Department of Justice is just a branch of the deep state conspiracy to destroy Donald Trump and his political party.
You probably believe that they are coming to get you arrested for mis interpretation about CRT.
Well Roger....
Good morning to you too. See you are well on your way to another day of making up lies about people in lieu of actually making a point.
Why are you reduced to just lying these days?
Are the real arguments available to you just that bad?
The rule of law still survives the political attack by Democrats. Judges reject excessively harsh sentences for the Capitol Hill riot. They are rightly recognizing the riot would have been more peaceful if the police did not incite the protesters.
People who get involved in criminal activities can be charged with other crimes than the actual perpetrators.
Even Bill Barr backed down from being a branch of the Trump campaign to discredit the election results.
The Department of Justice is not a branch of the Democratic party or the personal lawyer for President Biden.
Grow the hell up.

No alky, but I do anxiously await the very first set of charges for treason, sedition, or "insurrection."
So far we have a bunch of misdemeanor trespass, and a few obstructing an official proceeding or some such horse shit.
You know, for an event that was the worst thing to happen to the nation since the civil war, pearl harbor, 9/11, and the heartbreak of psoriasis...
...I had expected something a little more severe than the nickel dick charges we've seen to date.
Could it be that you meatheads NEED to make this more than it is to distract from the flaming shitpile that is Slow Josef's 'Welcome Back Carter' presidency?
I'm very disappointed. You promised a big deal, and so far we've got Lego's and not much else. Can you at least muster a Ouija Board, or some Play Dough with Pumper No. 9?

Not sure what that even means Roger.
But stick to the story here Rog.
This guy was maybe the second most talked about rioter after the QAnon Shaman. Front and center across the board and he got a measly 8 months after the Justice Department and Biden Administration were tossing around the possibility of 20 years.
Perhaps you can explain how it is that an insurrectionist committing a terror crime you claim was worse than Pearl Harbor or 9-11 only got 8 months and he might not even serve those 8 months according to some sources.
Please Roger... explain?
After 9/11 the investigation found that the Presidents Clinton and Bush failed to prevent the attacks on November 11th.
The Democratic party is going to investigate the Insurrection.
All this rhetoric will look like the Republicans were like the Taliban allowed Bin Laden to attack the twin towers and the Pentagon.

Thank you for publicly admitting that Peloshee's Insurrection Porn Theatre is exactly that - a purely political exercise aimed at harming the GOP and Trump as much as possible.

I honestly do not think it gets more fucked up than this -

It's quite simple. He was an accessory to the Insurrection.
For example the three other police officers who were charged as accessories to the murder of the drug addicted black man.
The investigation may find out that the former President Trump illegally intended to stage a coup.
If that happens he could face the death penalty!
Very unlikely but remains Benadict Arnold?
The investigation may find out that the former President Trump illegally intended to stage a coup.
Even though the transcript of his Jan. 6 speech lays waste to that charge, that will be the conclusion of Peloshee's kangaroo court anyway alky. In fact, you can't point to a single word, utterance, or any other piece of evidence that implicates Trump. There simply is none. The stretch that this requires is laughable. But so are democrats.
The conclusion is pre-ordained and as predictable as the sun rising in the east.
Captured on surveillance video waving a Donald Trump flag near the dais of the U.S. Senate Chamber on Jan. 6th, Florida man Paul Hodgkins received an 8-month prison term on Monday. Hodgkins, 38, is the first person on the U.S. Capitol breach docket to be sentenced for committing a felony, and prosecutors argued a stiff sentence was necessary to keep others from engaging in acts of “domestic terrorism.”
Though Hodgkins’ defense attorney rejected the domestic terrorism label as a threat to First Amendment freedoms, U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss cut off the defense argument that the siege of the Capitol was a protest that devolved into a riot.
“There were people storming through the halls of the Capitol chanting ‘Where’s Nancy?'” Judge Moss, a Barack Obama appointee, shot back.
He added later: “That is more than a simple riot.”
Moss added that there was nothing about the U.S. Capitol breach that constituted First Amendment-protected activity.
Hodgkins will serve two years of supervised release following his sentence.
In early June, Hodgkins pleaded guilty to the most serious count against him: one count of obstructing an official proceeding, a charge that theoretically carried a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison, fine of $250,000 or twice the monetary gain or loss of the offense. Prosecutors agreed to seek a much lighter sentence, noting that Hodgkins does not rank among the more than 100 people their office charged with assaulting or resisting law enforcement on Jan. 6th.
Hodgkins emphasized that point in a prepared statement during his sentencing hearing.
“I can say without a shadow of a doubt that I am truly remorseful and regretful of my actions in Washington, D.C.,” he said, adding that he is not only saying that because of his punishment.
Declaring that Joe Biden is “rightfully and respectfully” the president of the United States, Hodgkins says that he went to the nation’s capital to support a president he “loved” and did not anticipate that it would lead to the siege of the Capitol.
“To put things in short, I allowed myself to put passion before my principles,” he says.
Judge Moss said that line may have been true, but that act carried heavy consequences for U.S. democracy. The judge also said he was “less convinced” that Hodgkins simply lost his bearings for a short period of time. He noted that Hodgkins traveled by bus from Tampa to Washington, D.C., carrying goggles and other gear with him.
In their sentencing memo, the government itemized what Hodgkins carried with him.
“Hodgkins entered the Capitol wearing a backpack containing protective eye goggles, rope, and white latex gloves, among other items,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Mona Sedky wrote in the memo. “He made his way to the heart of the proceeding that he has pleaded guilty to obstructing – the Senate chamber – where he took ‘selfie-style’ photographs and saluted others who were shouting and cheering from a nearby raised platform in the well of the chamber.”
Rattling off the gear Hodgkins brought into the Capitol, Sedky told the judge that she struggled to come up with a pithy catch-phrase that would encapsulate the siege of the Capitol, but she could not do better than the D.C. Circuit’s formulation.
“At its core, this was a grave danger to our democracy,” Sedky said, quoting from the D.C. Circuit’s ruling in the case of so-called “zip-tie guy” Eric Munchel.
Judge Moss echoed those themes in his closing remarks.
“It left a stain that will remain on us and on this country for years to come,” the judge said.
Throughout his comments, Moss reiterated that his need to balance the need to signal “severe consequences” for attacking the Capitol with the characteristics of Hodgkins’ more limited role.
In one sense, the government believes that Hodgkins belonged to a select group of U.S. Capitol breach defendants, as one of the roughly 50 people in a group of 800 who made it all the way to the Senate Chamber on Jan. 6th.
Seeking an 18-month sentence, the prosecutor argued that a substantial term of imprisonment would send a message that his conduct was serious.
“When Hodgkins entered the Capitol grounds, the Capitol itself, and the Senate chamber, it was abundantly clear to him that lawmakers, and the law enforcement officers who tried to protect them, were under siege,” the sentencing brief states. “Law enforcement officers were overwhelmed, outnumbered, and in some cases, in serious danger. The rule of law was not only disrespected, it was under attack that day. A lesser sentence would suggest to the public, in general, and other rioters, specifically, that attempts to obstruct official proceedings are not taken seriously.”

The prosecutor added that there was an additional need for a heavy sentence.
“The need to deter others is especially strong in cases involving domestic terrorism, which the breach of the Capitol certainly was,” the government’s memo states.
Hodgkins’ lawyer Paul Leduc depicted his client as an Eagle Scout with no criminal record who will pay a heavy price for 15 minutes of bad judgment. He called the photograph of his client on the Senate floor as one of a “lost soul” and the image of him at an Easter service as a man who had been “found.”
“We now live in a county [sic] that seeks to cancel one another,” Leduc wrote. “It is the end state and the result of becoming a post-Christian society. A nation of citizens that have yet to experience Godly grace, finds it next to impossible to give grace to each other.”
Filled with comparisons to the post-Civil War era and Reconstruction, the defense sentencing memo declares: “Today, the country is as divided as it was in the 1850s,” claiming that extending charity to Capitol breach defendants would “emulate” Abraham Lincoln.
Sedky decisively rejected attempts to downplay what Hodgkins did: “What Mr. Hodgkins’ conduct is not is a 15-minute walk with a crowd through the U.S. Capitol building.”
Echoing the themes of her sentencing brief, the prosecutor emphasized that Hodgkins had multiple “decision points” where he could have turned around but did not.
The first person sentenced for a misdemeanor offense on the U.S. Capitol breach docket, 49-year-old grandmother Anna Morgan-Lloyd, received a non-jail sentence and a stern warning by a federal judge not to violate probation.
Despite defense filings claiming to be regret her role in the attack on the Capitol, Morgan-Lloyd subsequently appeared on Fox News and downplayed her role in the attack. She claimed to have seen no violence, even though more than 100 U.S. Capitol Police and Metropolitan Police were injured in melees fulsomely documented in photographs, videos, and court papers.

This is theatre. Just like both impeachments, just like Peloshee tearing up the SOTU speech. This is ALL scripted, ALL pre-ordained, and ALL being done for the benefit of the base - small thinkers like you.
And by the way, you have yet to supply a single shred of evidence that implicates Trump as the instigator even a little bit.
You might want to start there.

That would make things transparent.
No "investigation" would even be necessary for that.
Unless you are against transparency.
Or the video doesn't back your narrative.

For example the three other police officers who were charged as accessories to the murder of the drug addicted black man.
Is it really that simple Roger?
because why did your federal prosecutors miss something so obvious and simple?
Oh! You know what it probably was? Whereas the police officers were charged as accessories to the charge of murder presented to Chauvin... the charge of Insurrection has not been brought against anyone?
Might that be it, Roger?
That because NOBODY is charged with insurrection, that nobody can be an accessory to a crime not alleged?

Adam Klasfeld is a journalist and playwright. He has written and directed several theater plays and is a journalist for the Courthouse News and also a regular reporter for a variety of news outlets.
He studied theatre at Rutgers University and followed up on his studies at the Academy of Theatre in London under Richard Digby Day.

Unvaccinated Trump supporter who spread coronavirus conspiracy theories dies of COVID-19
Matthew Chapman
July 20, 2021
Linda Zuern. (Facebook.com)
On Tuesday, the Cape Cod Times reported that Linda Zuern, a former member of the Bourne, Massachusetts Board of Selectmen and a Trump-supporting figure in the local Republican Party, had died of COVID-19.
Zuern died at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston of severe complications caused by COVID-19, according to the report. She was 70 years old and had not been vaccinated.
"She was a strong woman who believed in speaking the truth and defending our freedoms in America," Republican State Committeewoman Deborah Dugan told the Cape Cod Times. Dugan was at Zuern's bedside when she died. "I would describe her to people as a little woman but a mighty warrior."
For months, Zuern, a member of the pro-Trump group the United Cape Patriots, had promoted conspiracy theories about the pandemic on Facebook. She has shared articles accusing the World Health Organization of a coverup of the "Wuhan Virus" and claiming COVID-19 is cover for "globalists" to usher in "U.N. Agenda 2030" — a sustainable development initiative right-wing conspiracy theorists assert is a plot to create a one world government.
Zuern also expressed support for the QAnon conspiracy theory, posting their creed of "WWG1WGA" (Where We Go One, We Go All).
Zuern promoted the use of hydroxychloroquine as a treatment of COVID-19 during a Barnstable County Assembly of Delegates meeting in December and quested whether officials "had looked into preventative measures that people could use besides a vaccine to help build up their immune system," the Cape Cod Times reported.
Peter Meier, chair of the Board of Selectmen, said Zuern cared deeply about others. "She definitely left her mark on the community," he added.
According to the report, Zuern and her mother contracted COVID-19 while returning home from a trip to South Dakota — a state where Republican-motivated policies have let the virus propagate with little control.
Right wing propaganda killed this woman.

How about the author of your post.
During the presidency of Barack Obama, McCarthy characterized Obama as a radical and a socialist, and authored a book alleging that Obama was advancing a "Sharia Agenda". He authored another book calling for Obama's impeachment. He defended false claims that the Affordable Care Act would lead to "death panels", and promoted the conspiracy theory that Bill Ayers, co-founder of the militant radical left-wing organization Weather Underground, had authored Obama's autobiography Dreams from My Father.
He's as credible as rrb Olinski Olinski Olinski Olinski beaners and Mooslimbs etc..

In 1961, she lost her chance to go to space. Today, at 82, she finally got her shot.

Floating in the isolation tank, Wally Funk felt weightless.
She couldn’t see or hear. There was nothing to taste or smell. When she patted the eight feet of water surrounding her, she didn’t feel it.
By the time Funk endured those circumstances for 10 hours and 35 minutes in 1961, she had already taken at least 87 other exams ranging from swallowing three feet of rubber hose to guzzling a pint of radioactive water. It was all in service of becoming one of the first female astronauts at a time when American women still needed their husbands’ permission to sign a mortgage and get a credit card.
Within months, Funk’s dream was squelched. NASA had no program for female astronauts, she learned in a perfunctory telegram. Without that federal support, her privately funded testing program would end.
Funk, 82, finally saw her aspiration come to life Tuesday when she launched on aerospace manufacturer Blue Origin’s first crewed spaceflight alongside billionaire Jeff Bezos and two other people. Exiting the spacecraft after landing, she grinned and spread her arms wide in celebration. (Bezos, the founder of Amazon, owns The Washington Post.)
It's on TV now.
But she is an 82 year old woman who finally got to get weightless!
