Scott Fairlamb is the "Apex Insurrectionist" and probably represents the MAXIMUM punishment.

He just plead guilty in an agreement with the DoJ.

The prosecution is recommending 41-51 months in prison (minus time served) and the Judge will listen to the argument from the Defense team and pronounce a sentence.

Fairlamb has pretty much EVERYTHING going against him.

1) Trained former MMA fighter. Dangerous by definition of who/what he is.

2) Rap sheet. Convicted of previous Assaults. He's a bad dude, the type you see and cross the street to avoid.

3) History of threats and violent comments on Social Media

4) At the Capitol, took a collapsible baton from an officer and assaulted officers with it.

5) Punched and shoved officers.

6) At the phalanx of the group entering the Capitol.

7) A big Qanon believer.


It's going to depend on the Judge but if this guy gets around 4 years, minus time served... that's probably the biggest sentence we'll see.

I originally predicted the worst of the worst would see 7-10 so I'm a bit surprised.

WSJ... long time subscriber here. They're assholes.

I've been a daily WSJ reader for 30+ years.

My Father taught me at a young age there are 2 things a man should do in life. Read the WSJ daily and learn to play golf. He said that way 99/100 times you're the smartest person in the room and you can hit the links to make deals. But he was an asshole, too... lol

Golf never stuck but the WSJ did.

I primarily read the WSJ for hard news and Stock Market updates. I get mobile updates during the trading day that can guide my trades.

But the OpEds... and the framing of political issues.


Fucking assholes.

Today I get a headline "Inside President Biden's Lawless Eviction Ban"

And these folks are pissed about saving people from being tossed onto the streets... in the middle of a pandemic and make no mistake this IS the midst of a pandemic, still.

No, they'e NOT Trumpists, they're Lincoln Project and Bill Kristol type Republicans.

AKA assholes.
