The Oathkeepers are back in the news. This time, it’s because one of their lawyers pleads guilty to obstruction in connection with the insurrection on January 6,2021. [This link goes to Yahoo](https://www.yahoo.com/news/former-oath-keepers-lawyer-pleads-190003833.html). > An attorney for the far-right Oath Keepers pleaded guilty Wednesday to instructing members of the far-right group to delete their text messages after the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot on behalf of its leader Stewart Rhodes. > > [Kellye SoRelle](https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/09/politics/oath-keeper-lawyer-kellye-sorelle/index.html?cid=external-feeds_iluminar_yahoo), an attorney who volunteered for Lawyers for Trump during efforts to challenge the 2020 election results, was first charged in 2022. The judge overseeing her case, however, temporarily ruled that she was incompetent to stand trial and sent SoRelle to a federal custody for mental health treatment. > > Wednesday, she pleaded guilty to charges including tampering with evidence, which carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison. SoRelle will be sentenced in January. ---

[Moderating] I broke the wiki link to the word “perineum.” While the wiki page is educational in tone and intent, it does also have a couple of close-ups of naked genitals right at the top of the entry. [/Moderating] ---

Sorry for the NSFW mishap, I can’t think far enough, it seems. > [@Frodo](#): > > say i **t ain’t** true! I cannot say it is not true, it is the same word in Spanish too, so I plead the filthy mind. To compensate for all that another piece of schadenfreude, this time regarding Russian disinformation spreaders in the USA and the FBI’s recent actions against them.

Since someone brought up Couchfucker, I just came to realize, he is a car crash in ultra-slow motion – you see fragments of glass in the air, the occupants on their way to imminent maiming, or worse, the groaning sounds of metal being wrenched into unrecognizable shapes, and you just beg for it to be over already, whatsoever the outcome. ---

I thought the couch-fucker thing was funny at the time, but it’s getting very old and edging toward the kind of behavior the other team exhibits. There’s plenty to pick on that is real, isn’t there? Like the awkward video of Shady Vance in the donut shop?
