Federal prosecutors say former President Donald Trump posted on his social media platform what he claimed was the home address of former President Barack Obama the same day a man with guns in his van was arrested near the property

    Taylor Taranto, 37, who prosecutors say participated in the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, kept two firearms and hundreds of rounds of ammunition inside a van he had driven cross-country and had been living in, according to a Justice Department motion that seeks to keep him behind bars

    Who would of thought that such an upstanding member of society would do such a thing?

    Pretty much 99% of the people who were at the Capitol that day shouldn’t still be walking around in broad daylight.

    Nobody wants to be the “bad guy” who just tosses the lot into jail. They want to still present this “even handed” approach. But truth is, every fucker that got off with a slap on the wrist, they’re absolutely going to go for round two. And they’re going to keep going round after round until they’ve killed every last person they disagree with or the justice system locks them away as the traitors to the United States they are.

    If this story didn’t convince anyone of that, nothing will.

      Hello? Bad guy here.

      I would toss ever motherfucker who stepped past the threshold of the capital building into jail.

      They’re either astoundingly dumb or basically a terrorist, either way I’m fine sending them somewhere that locks.

    I’m no trump fan, but all trump did was post an opinion article that already existed. Trump’s desire to be liked is why he posted it. His hubris is the major problem in this instance. The person who wrote the article made a note of Obama’s address (which was not the main focus). The article was mainly about trump’s first 100 days in 2017. The fact some maniac saw it and chose to act on it wasn’t orange man’s fault.
