One big lesson of January 6th is that federal criminal law is pretty draconian, as a general matter
It’s not that the federal prosecutors are being uniquely harsh to the 1/6 defendants

It’s that being indicted on federal charges sucks a lot more than people suspect
Layperson: “This is an outrage!”

Lawyer: “Welcome to federal criminal law.”
Another lesson of January 6th is that if you are going to commit federal crimes you shouldn’t do it while unmasked and with dozens of people filming you

Antifa bullies journos and wears masks for a reason
Bingo - but realize the line prosecutors were never going to have the latitude to be lenient given the level a media attention on the case/Biden appointees running DOJ

A big part of law school is learning how much you don't know about the law

It's just a massive field of human endeavor, it's impossible to master it all, at best you can become an expert in specific areas
Some legal questions you know the answer to because they are basic or because you've worked in the relevant area

Most legal questions you either need to research or refer to a specialist - and that's as a credentialed lawyer!
Good lawyers know *how* to find answers to legal questions, and how to make sure they get it right

They also are good at evaluating who really has expertise in an area

About That Revolver Story Claiming FBI Agents/Informants Are the Unnamed "Co-Conspirators" in Jan. 6 Indictments redstate.com/shipwreckedcre…
I think this is an important one to get right

While it's likely that both Oath Keepers and Proud Boys were infiltrated by the FBI (they have a history of doing these things), @shipwreckedcrew is very persuasive in explaining that the unindicted co-conspirators wouldn't be feds
It's really easy to get the law wrong, I'm a lawyer and have done it plenty, and so I get why Darren/Tucker got out ahead of their skis

That's why it's important to check this stuff with people experienced in federal criminal procedure (which I am not)

No more boomer Presidents
Bush, Clinton, and Trump were all born in 1946

Biden was born in 1942

All too old
I'm listening to Trump on Hannity, and it's just old man patter

Biden randomly screamed at a reporter today

There's a reason major corporations have mandatory retirement for their executives at 65

We've spent well over a year fighting about masks and social distancing and vaccines

But whatever "mistakes" were made by elected officials on those issues absolutely pale in comparison to the completely catastrophic error that was subsidizing gain of function research
Big Pharma gets endless hate

And yet it was our NIH that funded the research that killed half a million Americans

And the Big Pharma companies that created the vaccines that stopped the bleeding
It turns out that the profit incentive helps scientists stay focused on creating things that people need

And that the lack of a profit incentive leads scientists to build entire bureaucracies around research that could wipe out millions of people

It's just projection all the way down

SHE can't stand white people, so she assumes white people have the same feelings about her and are just hiding it which makes her even more angry/dismissive of white people and on and on it goes
A weird corollary of the problem of critical race theory is what it does to the minds of the people who believe it

Not just victimization - but rage inducement

It gives black people permission to hate white people, and endless reasons to as well
When she talks about white people needing to "do the work" she's projecting

Whatever "work" needed to be done was done culturally decades ago

When it's completely socially unacceptable to be racist...people stop being racist!

This is actually an outstanding description of the #NeverTrump intellectuals
Unlike the #NeverTrump intellectuals - who generally betrayed their prior political principles and allies for MSNBC hits - the nationalist intellectuals demonstrably never cared about "social respect" from our decaying, clownish, malicious establishment elite
Here's a bluecheck proving my point precisely
