You tried to overthrow our federal government. You've wasted the valuable time of law enforcement. You've wasted the valuable time of the court system.

Go to jail. Do not pass GO. Do not collect $200.

... and the next instant be off the chart wacko. It's mystifying. I'm tired of the whacko my 94-year-old MiL and 73-year-old SiL catching me with on our weekly visit, some piece of off walls RWingery. But I'm done. I'm pretty sure it's not my place to attempt to disabuse them. For the last year they've seen each other, my wife and me, my BiL and his wife, only. So it's not as if they're passing this hogwash around, they aren't hurting anyone.

It's just not worth it. My MiL actually listens, but I just don't want to go through with it again, every Saturday.

My brother and his son moved to Texas. Everybody always joshed that Jaylen was a clone from Mike. Mike called me just before the election and told me only half jokingly that he wanted to send Jaylen to come live with me and Joy, he was beginning to sound too much like us!!

Change your plea to guilty and accept whatever sentence and fine the court hands you without whining or appealing. I'd be persuaded then that you're sorry for reals.

Watkins said Friday she is "cancelling" her membership in the Oath Keepers.

"Given the result of everything on January 6 and everything that has come out.... my fellow Oath Keepers have turned my stomach against it. Which is why I'm canceling my Oath Keeper membership," Watkins said during the court hearing. "I have no desire to continue with people who say things like that."

"I am sorry for any inconvenience I have caused the court. ... I am not a criminally minded person. I am humbled and I am humiliated that I am even here today," Watkins said.
In addition to her ties to the Oath Keepers, Watkins runs her own militia in Ohio, which she says she is shutting down and will instead focus on running her bar.

"We're done with that lifestyle," Watkins said. "I have a struggling small business. I did it out of love for my country, but I think it's time to let that all go and focus on my business."


What?!?

INCONVENIENCE!?!

She didn’t take a parking space ... she was attempting to overthrow the government!

it's not like they were swingers or hikers, bikers or campers. She was the head of a chapter of a group that wants to overthrow our government.

Maybe she should have sold individual cigarettes and told the police that.....

I don't think she damaged anything or attacked anyone. She just got all dressed up and then stood inside.

As her friend said. "She's an idiot."

But her group was obviously planning stuff.

So what happens if they meet and play army and talk big but never do anything?

Oath Keepers planned backup staged with weapons outside D.C. during Capitol riot, DOJ says

The Justice Department says Oath Keeper Jessica Watkins helped coordinate with "law enforcement members of the Oath Keepers" to have weapons at the ready on Jan. 6.
