Boo fucking hoo. Keep him locked up until his trial.

Jacob Chansley has seen the muffin man.

‘I didn’t try to stop them from beating people to death, but I’m innocent because I stopped them from eating muffins!’

"Jacob Chansley , who became known as the so-called “QAnon Shaman” after being seen at the Capitol in a horned and coyote-fur headdress and face paint, was denied pre-trial release on Monday after a federal judge berated his lawyer for squandering an opportunity to communicate with his client before trial on a “media publicity stunt” interview with 60 Minutes+ , which wound up harming their defense.
“Such media appearances are undoubtedly conducive to defense counsel’s fame. But they are not at all conducive to an argument that the only way defense counsel could privately communicate with his client is if defendant were temporarily released,” Senior Judge Royce Lamberth , a Ronald Reagan appointee, wrote in a scathing 32-page opinion. “Given defense counsel’s decision to use what could have been a confidential videoconference on a media publicity stunt, that argument is so frivolous as to insult the court’s intelligence.”

Right on.

If the judge tells a lawyer he is insulting the intelligence of the court, is that bad? Asking for a friend, need answer fast.

It’s a qanon lawyer. Certainly his plan is to call intelligence fake, and bingo! Bob’s yer uncle.

A Reagan appointee? That’s impressive.

“Counsel, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.”

“There’s a reason it’s not called ‘IQAnon.’”

That might not be a bad name actually.

Alcoholics Anonymous is all about helping people break their connection to alcohol.

Besides the technical definition, “IQ” is a common colloquialism for “smartness”

So IQ Anonymous would be for folks wanting to break away from their smartness. However much they may have now, IQAnon is dedicated to the idea that less is better.

Seems about right.

I’ve read a few things about the reasons/excuses for the insufficient security, but has anyone seen any info regarding the few capitol police who appeared to have moved barriers aside or otherwise been inappropriately “friendly” towards the insurrectionists?

just that some have been suspended and they are looking at the tapes.

Cudd fears being chewed in DC.

Jeez, the attorney can’t even spell “venue”.

The severance motion is not frivolous. The venue motion certainly is. If a judge accepted that argument (DC Jurors are liberal democrats and a bunch of “cancel culture” nonsense), then none of the January 6 defendants could be tried in the district where they allegedly committed their crimes.

The spelling is correct.

Okay, thanks. I googled and got an Italian translation “to come”. Should have scrolled the results.
