Apparently, Ashli Babbitt's mother was in attendance (who knows why). Anyway, this Hostetter dude mentioned Ashli's name, among all his other brain dead statements. He claimed she's not actually dead! The mother afterwards said that said didn't like the comment, but thought that his sentence was too long. How at that point do you not simply say screw him, pile it on?! She's so gone on her own nonsense probably she can't even see the people she "sides with" have no interest other than to use her daughter as a prop. And it's pretty fucking sick. I wish them all the worst.

Yeah, she's been trying to capitalize on the comically stupid and pointless death of her traitor daughter for awhile now.

So Ashlin Babbitt got her dumb ass self killed. Now her fellow "patriots" think that she was a planted actor as part of the deep state. That's some chef's kiss irony right there.

Also, the fact that this dude brought weapons to an insurrection with the intent of "putting the fear of God" into Congress, and then has the balls to claim that January 6th was a false flag is some serious mental gymnastics. Is he claiming that he's a deep state plant himself?

people who have something to gain from her are probably extremely kind to her.

I'm thinking of how they used Paula Jones in the Clinton impeachment kinda thing.

Just a reminder that the dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

[-] BruceTwarzen@kbin.social 12 points 11 months ago

Nothing funnier for americans than people getting raped in jail.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 37 points 11 months ago

So you are not metaphor friendly then.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 21 points 11 months ago

Just in case you don't realize: the "dildo of consequences" is a metaphor. There isn't a literal dildo involved.

Unless that's your thing. I don't judge.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

Please do not paint us all with one broad brush.

[-] chitak166@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

I'm American I didn't even think of that.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

It's an expression mate - it doesn't mean what the literal words translate to, just like "sticking your head in the sand" doesn't mean somebody has actually dug a hole in the sand and put his or her head in it.

Don't confuse your own ignorance with malice from somebody else.

Nothing funnier for non-Americans than to point out they aren't Americans. Get a new punchline ffs lmao

What ever happened to that guy with the zip ties for restraining hostages with? Is he going to do some time over this too? While not as affective at chopping meat with, I feel like the intent was more pronounced with the zip ties.

[-] akai_android@programming.dev 25 points 11 months ago

He got time but not as much

Eric Munchel, 32, of Tennessee, was sentenced to nearly five years in prison in connection with the attack on the U.S. Capitol in 2021, while his mother, Lisa Eisenhart, 59, received a two-and-a-half-year term.

[-] NABDad@lemmy.world 37 points 11 months ago

That just shows you, when they post the sign-up sheet to bring things to the insurrection, you want to respond early so you can get something like zip-ties. If you put if off too long, you'll end up having to bring the hatchet.

Ideally, you want to be first so you can just bring the kool-aid. I understand they drink a lot of it.

[-] rebelsimile@sh.itjust.works 10 points 11 months ago

Also sentencing is starting to get more aggressive as I think judges are seeing that these morons are becoming moron celebrities in the moron community. Aside from the judges that are also in the moron community.

They should have started with the 11 year sentences for these cowardly idiots.

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Honestly shocked that one of them is being sentenced to hard time. Too bad he didn't have drugs on him.

[-] Hanabie@sh.itjust.works 16 points 11 months ago

I heard they love ex-cops in jail. Long time.

[-] awnery@lemmy.world 30 points 11 months ago

jail is not for torture and we got a lot of problems that won't be fixed with a shitty attitude. fix your perspective and don't forget, the cops must be brought to bear

[-] girlfreddy@sh.itjust.works 8 points 11 months ago

brought to bear - means "to use with effect"

Don't matter what year it is. Axes chop meat. If we don't cut this nonsense short, it'll chop meat in your neighborhood too.
