Here Are The Weapons Prosecutors Say They Used excerpt: "A number of those charged were found to have possessed batons, although it's unclear how many were brought to the riot and how many were seized by rioters from law enforcement during the violent demonstrations. Prosecutors allege Bruno Joseph Cua was captured in a video allegedly wielding a baton, while Scott Kevin Fairlamb was seen on Capitol grounds carrying a collapsible baton. Colorado resident Jeffrey Sabol allegedly told federal investigators that he picked up a baton from a law enforcement officer but did not recall whether he struck the officer with it because "he was in a fit of rage and the details are cloudy." Jonathan Mellis can be allegedly seen on footage from a Metropolitan Police Department body camera "repeatedly striking and making stabbing movements towards the officers" using a large stick. According to court documents, Mellis appears to be "attempting to strike the officers' necks between their helmets and body-armor where they are not protected.""
After taking away women's reproductive rights, Trump-appointed Kavanaugh says he is upset that he can't go to a restaurant and get a steak and (knowing Kavanaugh from his confirmation hearing) probably beer too. Brett Kavanaugh Flees, Restaurant Laments That You Can't Arbitrarily Strip Millions Of Americans Of Rights And Get A Decent Steak Anymore Sorry, Morton's Steakhouse, 'the right to congregate and eat dinner' isn't explicitly mentioned in the Constitution. By Joe Patrice July 8, 2022 at 11:43 AM Brett Kavanaugh Flees, Restaurant Laments That You Can't Arbitrarily Strip Millions Of Americans Of Rights And Get A Decent Steak Anymore - Above the Law excerpt: "Brett Kavanaugh went out for some steak on Wednesday and ended up leaving out the back door after a protest gathered outside. It seems the justice feared that the prospect of hearing people yell at him for 20 seconds might upset his digestion and instead chose to flee Morton’s Steakhouse through the back door. Witnessing the sustained intensity of post-Dobbs protests must shock Kavanaugh since his whole career journey rests on the premise that people don’t really listen to women."
When Kavanaugh is faced with a crowd of protesters, he can hold up a beer can and proudly say, "I like American beer!" He mentioned beer 30 times during his confirmation hearing.
Wisconsin Supreme Court Bans Drop Boxes, Suggests Biden’s 2020 Victory Was “Illegitimate” excerpt: "The Teigen majority’s brazen rejection of the law’s plain language is bad enough. But Grassl Bradley went further, stuffing her opinion with paranoid and irresponsible language about the legitimacy of the 2020 election. She zeroed in on the Wisconsin Election Commission, a chief target of Donald Trump supporters who falsely claim that the WEC rigged the race for Biden. In reality, this commission is a bipartisan agency, evenly divided between Democrats and Republicans, with modest authority to interpret the state’s (often confusing) election laws. Yet election deniers, including Trump himself, have vilified it as a rogue partisan malefactor dead set on stuffing the ballot boxes with illegal Democratic votes. This claim lies at the heart of the GOP’s probe into the 2020 race—whose lead investigator, Michael Gableman, may soon be disbarred for egregiously unprofessional and illegal conduct."
If Kavanaugh is ever faced with flagpoles, baseball bats, and brass knuckles, he can be rest-assured that they are all harmless.
Trump is claiming he won Wisconsin based on its Supreme Court restricting drop boxes. Trump Now Claims He Won Wisconsin Since State Court Has Restricted Ballot Drop Boxes

Federal prosecutors said Grace, 38, was among the first wave of rioters to enter the Capitol building. Grace and his father, Jeff Grace of Battle Ground, took selfies inside and outside the Capitol during the insurrection. Grace by phone told U.S. District Judge Randolph Moss in Washington, D.C., that he takes responsibility for his actions that day. Court records show Grace and his father attended the rally supporting then-President Donald Trump beforehand, traveling and staying with a member of the far-right extremist group Proud Boys. The three of them attended a gathering of Proud Boys from around the country on Jan. 5, prosecutors said. On Jan. 6, Grace and his father joined a large group of Proud Boys at the Washington Monument before walking toward the U.S. Capitol Building, according to federal investigators. Court records indicate his father is scheduled for a plea hearing July 28."
Youngkin was endorsed by Trump and won the governorship in 2021. Over 300 Virginia state employees resign in wake of Gov. Youngkin’s telework policy | WRIC ABC 8News excerpt" "RICHMOND, Va. (WRIC) — More than 300 employees from five state agencies have resigned since Gov. Glenn Youngkin announced Virginia’s new telework policy in early May, according to records obtained by 8News. This includes 183 Virginia Department of Transportation employees, 28 of whom cited “telework options” as the reason for leaving. Two VDOT workers who listed telework as the reason did move to another state agency, records obtained by 8News after filing a Freedom of Information Act request show. On May 5, Youngkin updated the state’s telework policy for all state employees to begin working in-person full-time by July 5, a change the governor’s office stressed would provide “options for and supports the use of telework where appropriate.” Youngkin said it would help “balance the demands of government services with the needs of our public servants.” Other state agencies and divisions, including the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) and the Virginia Employment Commission (VEC), provided employment resignations since Youngkin’s announcement in May after 8News filed public record requests."
