The DOJ has rounded up 706 people who were involved in the #January6thInsurrection over the last 306 days. And these were just mainly the foot soldiers - the gullible thuggish slobs who believed a lie and committed crimes. seditiontracker.com
Now these 706 people were mostly a bunch of randos. They weren’t for the most part caught at the scene. They were tracked down all over the country, in every part of the country, and hauled in. At an average rate of two a day.
That’s sort of impressive, I think.
Now these are just average Joes. Most of them will have records for the rest of their lives. While the people who sent them are still sipping nice beverages in Florida and DC with little regard for the little guys who got busted doing what they encouraged them to do.
But here’s my thought. If it is really true that DOJ is committed to holding everyone accountable, that could be a big problem for those who tried to pull off a coup.
If the DOJ was able to track down 706 random thugs from all over the country within one year of the insurrection, how much easier would it be for them to take down the smaller group of planners between now and 2025?
It seems a lot harder to track down hundreds of losers whose names aren’t even known than it is to get the goods on a likely smaller set of known people who plotted to take down the government.
Especially if their actions are a matter of public record.
I’m far more optimistic today than I was yesterday that at least most of the people who plotted and tried to execute the coup will be brought to justice.
And I believe we’re going to find a lot more than we could have imagined.
Sorry … the last 363 days.

When you compare the Presidential elections of 2012 and 2020, there have been a lot of changes at the county level in both directions.
184 counties shifted 10 points or more to the left.
1,627 counties shifted 10 points or more to the right.
HOWEVER …
The median voting age population of those 184 counties that shifted 10 points or more to the left is 180,583.
And the median voting age population of those 1,627 counties that shifted 10 points or more to the right is 13,820.
Believe it or not, there are more people who are old enough to vote in the 184 counties that got 10 points or more bluer in the last three elections then there are in the 1,627 counties that got 10 points or more redder.
65 million adults in blue shifting counties vs 51 million.
However, in the last month or so, the unvaccinated in Washington State were FOURTEEN TIMES more likely to go to the hospital compared to the fully vaccinated. doh.wa.gov/Portals/1/Docu…
That number, FOURTEEN TIMES as likely, refers to unvaccinated people aged 35-64 compared to vaccinated people of the same age group.
It’s not that much different for other age groups.
Unvaccinated people ages 65 and up in Washington State were THIRTEEN TIMES more likely to go to the hospital compared to vaccinated people in the same age group.
And unvaccinated people aged 12-34 were still TEN TIMES more likely to be vaccinated compared to the vaccinated.
The #January6thInsurrection made me angrier than I’ve been in a very long time. I was furious and it took me a long time just to calm down. My wife advised me to stop watching the news because of how much it was affecting me.
I was angry that elected officials were trying to throw out our votes.
Including a number of Congressman and Senators who did it on just their fourth day in office. Even though they were elected on the same ballots and counted by the same machines and people.
And I saw the images of the violent mob who ransacked the Capitol. And who walked away, many to be arrested and a number of them to serve very mild sentences.
And I knew their fate would have been much, much different had they looked like me.
