  • No, I don’t think it’s a good thing that traitors got less than they deserved

    The vast majority of people on J6 were idiots in a mob situation, not traitors.

    As OP said, fuck all of them, but aggressive prosecution here is not the way you want the law to work, the same way there’s no gain for imprisoning everyone who acted out of pocket during the Floyd protests.

    You throw the book at the worst offenders, and you let people caught up in mob mentality off with a lesser sentence. That is justice working.

    Mr. Biden is articulating a simple, strong contrast: Republicans believe that collecting less money in taxes will catalyze economic growth; Bidenomics “is rooted in what’s always worked best for the country: investing in America and investing in Americans,” as the president put it in a November speech in Northfield, Minn.

    It is an overdue end to an era in which the difference between the parties could be summarized as a debate about how large tax cuts should be.

    Someone in this thread will inevitably talk about voting for Biden “even if he sucks” while he’s doing exactly the things they want.
