When you look like this you shouldn't be surprised with a heavy sentence.



(CNN)Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, an ex-Army reservist and US Capitol rioter who said January 6, 2021, was "exhilarating" and felt like "civil war" was sentenced on Thursday to four years behind bars.

"This is a significant sentence," District Judge Trevor McFadden said.

McFadden lambasted Hale-Cusanelli for his "sexist, racist and antisemitic comments" that the judge said motivated, in part, his actions that day.

Hale-Cusanelli, who was convicted in May of all five charges he faced, including the felony of obstructing an official proceeding, told the judge he "would never see my face again."

The way they're going, he'll be a 'moderate' Republican in the not too distant future.

When he gets out, a Farce News 'analyst' post will be waiting for him no doubt.

But otherwise essentially no early releases from a Fed sentence. Very unusual if so.

Besides a pardon, he'd be handed a six-figure no-show plum job - with security clearance of course.

No, I don't thank him or his ilk for "their service". They lie the minute they take that oath.

The real question is what uniform does he think he dishonored?

Hitler's or the US Army's?

Grasping at ego. Probably turns off all the women he encounters. No real friends. Never goes out of his way to be of benefit to anyone. Filled with lonliness and anger. Where did it all go wrong for him? Probably in grade school.

I was reminded watching Burn’s Holocaust that Hitler wrote his manifesto while serving time for an attempted insurrection and high treason.
