'American Dream' Trump rioter sentenced. Kansas man who represented 'the American Dream' sentenced for role in Capitol riot - cialissmart excerpt: "Apologizing to all “who have been hurt by my actions,” Mark Roger Rebegila asked a federal judge on Wednesday not to send him to jail for breaching the Capitol twice on Jan. 6. "After he spoke, US District Judge Amit Mehta sentenced the St. Marys, Kansas, father of four to 30 days of home detention, two years probation, a $2,000 fine and 60 hours of community service. “His total time there contributed to the overall chaos and mayhem that day,” Mehta said at the sentencing hearing, held via video conference in the US District Court for the District of Columbia. “His mere presence there served as encouragement to others. What happened that day was unprecedented …. everybody who entered that building made history that day, and not in a good way.” Rebegila is also required to pay $500 in restitution for damage to the Capitol building, which prosecutors say totaled about $1.5 million. Before learning his sentence, he said, “I do take full responsibility for my actions that day. … And I’ll never be caught up in this situation again.”"
Redistricting essentially ended Kucinich's House seat. The Nation: What's Lost When Dennis Kucinich Lost excerpt: "Kucinich was the first electoral victim of the current round of redistricting, which saw congressional districts redrawn in states across the country after the 2010 Census. A Republican governor and legislature carved up northern Ohio districts with an eye toward eliminating at least one Democratic seat, and they achieved their goal by forcing Kucinich and Kaptur into the same district. That district favored Kaptur and, after a hard-fought race she prevailed by a fifty-six to thirty-nine margin, with the remainder going to a third candidate. Though the race in Ohio's 9th District received scant attention compared with the Republican presidential contest in the state, the result will have national consequences."
Kansas man who represented 'the American Dream' sentenced for role in Capitol riot - cialissmart excerpt: "Rebegila breached the Capitol twice, prosecutors said, despite being forced out the first time by law enforcement officers. While inside, the government said, he entered two offices, including that of the Parliamentary Senate, where he “witnessed its destruction, and despite that and seeing broken glass on the floor, he attempted to move deeper into the Capitol, not out.” “Even after being expelled a second time, an hour later he was still filming videos while declaring on behalf of the rioters, on behalf of those seeking to occupy the Capitol and disrupt the peaceful transition of power, ‘The final stand here! They’re about to push us all out! I’m getting pushed. Oops, flash bang!’”"
Trump blows up at Morgan. Trump walks out of Piers Morgan interview after being pressed on 2020 election excerpt: "Former President Donald Trump blasted Piers Morgan as “very dishonest” while walking out of an interview with the TV presenter and Post columnist after being pressed on his claims that he lost the 2020 presidential election due to voter fraud. The 45th president became increasingly frustrated with Morgan’s questions, at one point calling him a “fool,” according to clips of the sit down. “I think I’m a very honest man … much more honest than you, actually,” Trump said at one point. “Really?” Morgan asked. “Yeah,” Trump responded.
Trump walks out of Piers Morgan interview after being pressed on 2020 election excerpt: “With respect, you haven’t produced the hard evidence,” Morgan said of Trump’s claims as the former president attempted to interject. “I don’t think you’re real,” the former president said to Morgan, later turning to the production crew and calling his interviewer “very dishonest.” The preview clip ended with Trump getting out of his seat and ordering production to “turn the camera off.” “Very dishonest,” he added while walking away. Describing the experience in a Thursday column for The Post, Morgan revealed he also told the former president that he blamed Trump’s refusal to admit defeat for the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot. “Then you’re a fool! And you haven’t studied,” Trump responded, according to Morgan.
At his recent rally in Selma, NC, Trump said he's perhaps the most honest person God ever created. He also thinks he's more humble than others would ever understand.
Trump abruptly ended an NPR interview in January 2022 in a similar fasion. He couldn't produce evidence about his allegations that the election was stolen from him. He ended the NPR event about midway through the scheduled length. https://thehill.com/media/589326-trump-abruptly-ends-npr-interview/

Hillary Clinton Says Trump Missed the Deadline to File His Massive RICO Lawsuit, Adds that All His Legal Claims Are Wrong Anyway excerpt: "“The gravamen of [Trump’s] claims concerns [sic] alleged events occurring in 2016 and 2017, so the statute of limitations on his claims expired long ago,” the motion argues, citing the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure that governs dismissals based on “time-barred” claims. AsLaw&Crime previously reported, Trump filed a 16-count, 108-page lawsuit against various defendants, including the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), former FBI Director James Comey, and former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, on March 24, 2022. The first two counts of Trump’s lawsuit allege conspiracy and violations under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Those allegations are premised on the notion that Clinton and several dozen other defendants, named and unnamed, engaged in a massive conspiracy to tar and undermine Trump, his 2016 presidential campaign and subsequent presidential administration with the mostly-debunked Russiagate scandal. The core of that conspiracy, Trump alleges, was the creation of the largely discredited Steele dossier."
Trump doesn't have the top-rated lawyers he said he would have. For his case against Hillary, Trump is using an attorney who had been suspended and who wrote a pro-Trump book from a Florida group with a website named LegalBrains which was removed from the web. Trump Files Massive Lawsuit Against Hillary Clinton, Putting His Theories of an 'Unthinkable' Racketeering 'Plot' Against Him to the Test excerpt: The lawsuit was filed on Trump’s behalf by attorneys from the Ticktin Law Group in Deerfield Beach, Fla. Matthew Gertz, of the liberal/progressive media think tank Media Matters for America, immediately noted that the firm’s website was registered under the URL LegalBrains.com. That website has since been taken down from the web, but cached and archived versions of it exist. The lead attorney on the case, Peter Ticktin, wrote a book in support of Trump. Ticktin was suspended from practicing law in 2009, according to a Florida Supreme Court case.
Trump included Sussman as a target in his March 2022 RICO lawsuit against Hillary. Sussman is standing criminal trial because of Durham's suit against him. Durham has been using his special counsel position (given to him by Barr just before he resigned from Trump's administration) to use 5-year-late court cases to write lengthy revisionist narratives (such as the 27-page indictment of Sussman for an incident in 2016) to give Trump the feeling of retaliating against those whom he perceives abused him.
'He lost': Piers Morgan is doubling down and rebuking Trump's baseless claims of voter fraud Piers Morgan is doubling down on his position that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Morgan was responding to backlash from Trump fans after a tense interview with Trump aired. Trump walked out of his interview with Morgan after calling the British host a "fool."
Yet another Darwin Award Winner........ Capitol rioter caught after FBI finds recording of him boasting to Uber driver On 6 January 2021, Jerry Braun hailed an Uber in Washington DC and got in the car, nursing a bleeding eye wound. The Uber driver noticed and asked, “So, has it been violent all day?” “Well it started around, right when I got there. I tore down the barricades,” Braun bragged. The conversation, captured on video by the driver’s recording device installed on the dashboard, triggered a 15-month long investigation by the FBI. Earlier this month, on 12 April, Braun was finally arrested by federal authorities and charged with violent entry or disorderly conduct, obstruction during civil disorder, and entering and remaining on restricted grounds, according to an affidavit by Lucas Bauers, FBI special agent. Braun boasted openly to the Uber driver about his involvement in the deadly riots, which resulted in the deaths of five people. When he explained he’d torn down the barricades, the driver asked, “You did? Why?” “Well, because, so we could get to the Capitol,” Braun replied.
If these folks (rioters) would have kept their mouths shut, not post anything on social media, etc., most could have gotten away with it!
In this digital age millions of people post pictures and videos of every mundane thing they do during the course of the day. How could they not post videos of what some Capitol rioters have described as the best day of their life?
