    I guess it's time to start a thread for this. We know that at least 140 members of Congress have pledged to join the objection. Under federal law, if at least one member of each house (HOR and Senate) objects, each house will adjourn the joint session for their own session (limited at two hours) to take up the objection. If both houses pass a resolution objecting to the EC result, further action can take place. If both houses do not (i.e. if one or neither passes a resolution), the objection is powerless and the college result is certified.

    Clearly this is political theater as we know such a resolution will not pass the House, and there's good reason to think it wouldn't pass the Senate either (with or without the two senators from Georgia). The January 6 joint session is traditionally a ceremonial one. This one will not be.

    Many traditional pillars of Republican support have condemned the plan as futile and damaging. Certainly the Trump loyalists don't care - and many are likely doing it for fundraising purposes or to carry weight with the fraction of their constituencies that think this is a good idea.

    Former Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio says he met with Trump in Florida

    This is utterly unsurprising. Totally on brand for Trump. His supporters here have no excuse.
     
    There was a time when politicians would run as fast as they could to get away from people like Tarrio

    And if they were caught meeting with someone like Tarrio that meeting would be soon followed by a tearful resignation press conference

    I miss those times

    Please remember that wasn’t a simple assault or rioting conviction, IIRC he was convicted of sedition. Which makes the pardon and this meeting an indication that Trump feels no obligation to our country or the rule of law.
     
    A man convicted of beating police officers during the Jan. 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol attack now sells $50 “J6 Hostages” T-shirts and is launching a 22-stop nationwide “Freedom Tour.”

    Another, who calls himself a “J6 Former Felon” on X, is soliciting donations for a personal “Freedom Fund” to support a cross-country RV tour with his wife. They want to spread their message about what he describes as “corrupted” legal, law enforcement and prison systems.

    And a third who paraded House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s lectern around the Capitol and later told a judge his “very stupid” actions had made “a mockery of a very intense” day now hawks $200 toy lecterns featuring his viral silhouette.

    Absolved by President Donald Trump’s sweeping pardons and feeling vindicated by his reelection, rioters who once lay low in the aftermath of the attack on the Capitol or otherwise felt unwelcome on mainstream platforms are taking on new identities as online influencers.

    The Washington Post identified more than four dozen who now promote themselves online as “J6ers” and have worked to profit from their connection to the day’s chaos, recording podcasts, announcing runs for public office and advertising merchandise lines.

    Many are finding a place on X, which under billionaire Trump adviser Elon Musk has cut back on moderating election disinformation and become the MAGA movement’s main online home. Several said in interviews they felt free to openly identify as Jan. 6 “hostages” and “political prisoners” without fear of penalty.

    “The culture has changed,” said former Proud Boys chairman Henry “Enrique” Tarrio, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy for his role in planning the attack. He was barred from being in Washington that day after being arrested before the riot. “Since I left prison, I’ve walked into this multiverse that’s cool as s---.”

    By promoting their businesses as symbols of patriotic resistance, they are following the example of Trump, the dealmaker in chief, who auctioned off pieces of the suit he wore as he became the first former president to have his mug shot taken — an image his team has framed outside the Oval Office and plastered on T-shirts and coffee mugs.

    In Pennsylvania, the “J6 Couple” Debra Maimone and Philip Vogel, who posted videos of themselves from the Capitol crypt, routinely advertise Confederate flags and Trump plaques from their wood shop, the Patriot Shack, to their audience of Jan. 6 supporters. Maimone, who has 196,000 followers on X, posed in a Trump bikini for the listing of an $800 American flag.

    “To those that have supported us since J6, we were only able to start this new business venture because of YOU,” Maimone wrote on X, where she uses the name “’Merican AF.” “We could never thank you enough!!!”

    When Trump granted a blanket pardon to virtually all Jan. 6 defendants, nearly 1,600 people were convicted or were still facing criminal charges related to the attack, which resulted in several deaths, assaults against about 140 officers and $1.5 million in damage to the Capitol. Some defendants had seen their marriages fail and businesses fold after their arrest. Certainly, they were owed something, several said in interviews, for how their lives had unraveled.

    Trump administration officials have voiced support for paying taxpayer-funded “reparations” to the rioters, many of whom had been required to pay fines to help cover the day’s damage. In a Newsmax interview in March, Trump said he supported the idea of establishing a fund for the pardoned rioters.

    “A lot of people in government really like that group of people,” Trump said. “They were patriots, as far as I was concerned.”.............

    Many of the rioters who gained viral attention during the attack have attempted to transition their notoriety into lasting fame. Richard Barnett, the Arkansas man photographed with his feet on a desk in Pelosi’s office, has nearly 30,000 X followers, and Adam Johnson, who paraded Pelosi’s lectern around the Capitol, has more than 100,000.

    Johnson, who goes by “The Lectern Guy” on X, had previously been constrained by an October 2021 plea agreement that barred him from profiting off any products bearing his name or likeness for five years. After the pardon, Johnson said he launched an online store selling $5 magnets, $20 mugs and $30 coolers with his likeness. He estimates that he has made “a few hundred bucks” off store sales, in addition to upward of $500 a month through posts on X, and said he does not see himself as an influencer.

    “I was out $100,000 in attorneys fees, another $5,000 in fines, not capable of finding gainful employment because of the picture,” said Johnson, 40 of Sarasota, Florida. “So yes, I am now monetized because of the pardon.”

    Jacob Chansley, the “QAnon Shaman” known for his horned fur cap, has 158,000 followers and an online business, Forbidden Truth Academy, that promotes educational courses, “shamanic” consultations, T-shirts, gift cards and a memecoin. On the day of his pardon, he posted, “THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP!!! NOW I AM GONNA BUY SOME MOTHA FU*KIN GUNS!!!” The message was reposted 16,000 times, garnering roughly 136,000 likes and 4,500 replies.


    Some Jan. 6 influencers said their newfound platform is a place to finally voice their rage. Jennie Heinl deleted her social media accounts in the run-up to her trial, believing everywhere she turned had become too hostile to Jan. 6 defendants like her. A mother of two from Pittsburgh, Heinl lost her job and her husband, a detective who worked on an FBI task force, after she said she followed the crowd into the Capitol Rotunda.

    In court, her attorney said she was “extremely remorseful, embarrassed and ashamed” for participating in the “unjustifiable attack on America.” But after Trump won, she rejoined X, calling herself “J6er Jennie- Political Prisoner” and laying into what she called the “corrupt regime.”

    Between selfies with her white Tesla, posted to show support for Musk, the company’s CEO, she has helped organize real-world Jan. 6 meetups, recorded podcasts and spoken bitterly about all the ways defendants like her were wronged.

    “I couldn’t talk for three years, so I’m of course going to spew it out on X now because I’m so angry,” she said in an interview. “And I’m not remorseful, I’ll tell you that.”.......

    Donald Trump and his Republican allies are “petty bitches” for refusing to display a congressionally approved plaque honoring police officers who protected the US Capitol when the president’s supporters attacked the complex on 6 January 2021, says one of the cops in question, Michael Fanone.

    Speaking recently on the show hosted by political broadcast journalist Jim Acosta, the famously candid and oft profane Fanone said he also had a suggestion about where Republican US House speaker Mike Johnson could position the commemoration. “I think that it would be … perfect … if the plaque was shoved up his arse,” said Fanone, who retired from the Washington DC police force after being wounded during the January 6th attack.

    Fanone’s remarks in part demonstrated the discontent among many in law enforcement about the way Trump has handled the aftermath of the Capitol assault, which was meant to keep him in the Oval Office after his first presidency ended in defeat to Joe Biden in the 2020 election won by the Democrats.

    After triumphing over Kamala Harris in November’s election, Trump started his second term in the White House by issuingunconditional pardons and commutations for more than 1,500 people charged with roles in the 6 January 2021 insurrection – which was linked to nine deaths, including the suicides of officers who were left traumatized having defended the Capitol.


    Among those to benefit from Trump’s mass clemency were Capitol attackers who targeted police officers. One was a man who pleaded guilty to driving a stun gun into Fanone’s neck and had received a 12-year prison sentence before Trump pardoned him.

    That all happened after Congress, during Biden’s presidency in 2022, passed a bill calling for the placement of a plaque on the front of the Capitol in honor of the authorities who fought to protect the building against those assailing it in Trump’s name. But Johnson and other lawmakers had long delayed the plaque’s installation when Acosta had Fanone on his show and asked about the hold-up.

    Fanone replied: “A lot of officers … probably do want to see this plaque placed in the Capitol, you know, according to the law.”

    Unfortunately, Fanone said, the Republican party has had “a very difficult time adhering to the law” – and he alluded to Trump’s having been convicted, only months before winning his second presidency, of criminally falsifying business records to conceal hush-money payments to adult film actor Stormy Daniels.

    Fanone also said that many of the officers with whom he served at the Capitol on the day it was attacked by Trump’s supporters are “not going to be begging for some award”.……..

    January 6 officer calls Trump ‘petty’ for Republican refusal to hang Capitol plaque

    The Trump administration is set to pay out nearly $5 million to settle a lawsuit brought by the family of Ashli Babbitt, a rioter fatally shot during the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, sources familiar with the matter confirmed to ABC News on Monday.

    The settlement will resolve a $30 million suit brought by Babbitt's estate and the conservative group Judicial Watch alleging the Capitol Police officer who shot her as she attempted to breach a broken window of the House speaker's lobby was negligent in his duties.

    Didn't Trump call for BLM protestors to be shot? (or more accurately wondered why they weren't being shot?)
     
    Incumbent said:
    So surely this means if 20,000 Americans, who oppose what is happening to our government, angrily descend on the Capitol, they will be met with understanding, and totally not arrested, beaten, and shot.

    At this point, and by this administration, they would be labeled domestic terrorists and shipped off to a concentration camp in another country. We all know this.
