Following the January 6th, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, eight Valley residents were charged. Tuesday, the final of those eight defendants was found guilty.

Rachel Powell was in a Washington, D.C. courtroom Tuesday for a bench trial, where she faced nine charges that include civil disorder, obstruction, destruction of U.S. property, entering a restricted building or property with a dangerous weapon, and disorderly conduct.

Even if I was dim enough to consider Fox News to be an actual news source, I think that I'd still recognize and ignore calls to commit acts of sedition and treason.

Blind loyalty can be costly. In this case, the price is the loss of freedom for a few years.

As a general rule, it's better for citizens to give their politicians marching orders, versus being told how to act and speak by politicians.

So the threat of "sedition and treason" is enough to discourage you from attempting to overthrow a kleptocracy? I assume you are quite comfortable in your lot in life.

Guess you shouldn't have done some insurrection after all, eh?

Weird that you support a murderous regime. I would probably keep that a bit mum as material conditions continue to degrade.

What an awful take. I can want to improve the government without supporting a bunch of treasonous idiots invading government buildings and trying to execute elected officials at the behest of a stupid petty tyrant trying to overthrow our democracy. There’s a pretty big gulf between “100% for America in every way” and “being okay invading the government and murdering the people that comprise it.”
