Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

Nope. Nopenopenope

 Apparently there are people in the FBI who are considering not charging some of the Beerbelly Putsch rioters. Certainly their priority should be the ringleaders, but everyone who was in the Capitol should be charged. If they want to plead down to misdemeanor trespass, fine. But the convictions and arrest warrants must remain in the public record.

We don't need to clog the courts with a bunch of second degree felonies, but there absolutely needs to be a "Oh, shit" moment when they get the summons for felony trespass. 

When traitors become numerous, treason becomes respectability.
