Guilty to being inspired by Trump to halt the vote, assault some cops & help steal an election

Emmanuel Jackson, a 20 year old African American who was on video beating cops and then returning with a baseball bat to attack them again, has been indicted, and Empty Wheel has reason to think he’s going to cooperate.

On January 27, Jackson’s attorney asked for a one month continuance, with the government’s consent. That generally indicates the defendant is preparing to plead before indictment (which isn’t surprising given that, before he got a lawyer, Jackson confessed to his assaults).

That means it’s possible that by the time Trump’s impeachment trial starts, Emanuel Jackson will have pled guilty to being inspired by Donald Trump to halt the vote certification, walking down Pennsylvania Avenue and then assaulting two cops in an effort to help Trump steal the election.

Attention: There is no real "fight" inside GOP

Oliver Darcy writes: "If you ever want to understand where the Republican Party is or where it's going, just pay attention to what is happening in right-wing media. Watch a few hours of Fox, listen to a few hours of talk-radio, and browse a few sites like Breitbart and The Gateway Pundit. That will give you a crystal clear indication of the GOP's current state. And if you do that today, you'll quickly observe that there is no real 'fight' for the soul of the Republican Party taking place, despite the huge amount of news coverage suggesting so. The party was remade in Trump's image over the last four years and it remains in his image. All the prominent right-wing media figures are solidly in the MAGA camp..."

That war ended a while ago.

The Jewish Space Laser's Label Disclaimer

WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS

Patients may complain about the side effect of the Jewish Space Laser and also that it’s administered in such small portions.

Republican patients may experience shame that they’ve allowed their party to become such a rage-filled den of bigotry and utter stupidity, but they probably won’t.

Patients who use the Jewish Space Laser might see visions. These visions might include a parallel between the QAnon narrative and an ancient anti-Semitic accusation of ritual murder that resulted in blood libels and laid the groundwork for the Holocaust.

If you notice that you’re a racist white supremacist spreading loony conspiracy theories that you saw in a meme or on a YouTube video, please seek help immediately.
