Proud Boy Dominic Pezzola Gets 10 Years For Capitol Breach

These fanatics are nothing if not shameless. This one was bawling in court during his sentencing but after the judge had left the stand, he shouted for the cameras, "Trump won!"

"He started drinking very heavily and inundated himself with Fox News day and night” - Pezzola’s wife testified. I bet he did.

Send them all to the psychiatric ward for the criminally insane.

WASHINGTON — The Marine Corps veteran and Proud Boy who used a stolen police riot shield to cause the first breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 was sentenced Friday to 10 years in prison.

Dominic Pezzola, a 45-year-old flooring contractor from Rochester, New York, was convicted in May alongside four other members of the Proud Boys following a lenghty jury trial. Although jurors acquitted him of joining his co-defendants’ seditious conspiracy, they convicted him on multiple other counts, including conspiring against members of Congress or law enforcement, destruction of government property and assaulting and robbing U.S. Capitol Police Officer Marc Ode of his riot shield.

Tuckems Keeps Asking If Trump Will Be Assassinated, And It's Weird

Without evidence, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson has suggested that former President Donald Trump will be assassinated. Tuckems even brought that up to the twice-impeached four times indicted former President while the other GOP candidates participated in a debate that Trump refused to take part in. He did it again during an interview with comedian and podcaster Adam Carolla when asked what the future holds for the one-term President.

"If you begin with criticism, then you go to protest, then you go to impeachment, now you go to indictment and none of them work, Carlson told Carolla, according to NBC News. What's next? Graph it out, man. We're speeding towards assassination, obviously. … They have decided — permanent Washington, both parties have decided — that there's something about Trump that's so threatening to them, they just can't have him."

This isn't good in our toxic environment.

Daniel Jones, the President of the nonpartisan research organization Advance Democracy, said Carlson's comments are an example of the kind of rhetoric that can incite real-world violence.

Habba's Slip: Trump 'Doesn't Do What's Right'

Trump attorney Alina Habba tried to explain why people are skeptical of the twice impeached one-term clown during a Newsmax interview. It's interesting that if you put these people on TV for long enough, sometimes the truth inadvertently gets out.

Habba said the quiet part out loud, and it's a doozy, admitting that Trump doesn't do what's right before backpedaling.

"Elected officials have to do what's popular and sometimes not what's right uh... and that's a problem. That's I think why people get nervous with Trump he doesn't do what's popular or what's right," she said.

Then she tried to do a taksie backsie, but there are no takesie backsies allowed.

"He uh... or what I'm sure it's that I should say he only does what's right," she added. "He doesn't do what's popular and you've got somebody like Kemp trying to make a name for himself, and he frankly has. He's made headlines because he's going against the leading candidate for the Republican party, and frankly the leading presidential candidate period."

Last weekend, Habba said that her client does not need to be prepped for trial because he is "incredibly intelligent," unlike the "average person." That kind of undercuts Team Trump's claims that they need to delay the trial date because there is so much evidence to go through.

Are we sure she's working for him?
