    Although he might get a little lucky if he has a clean record.

    41 minutes of fear: A video timeline from inside the Capitol siege

    At 2:12 p.m. on Jan. 6, supporters of President Trump began climbing through a window they had smashed on the northwest side of the U.S. Capitol. “Go! Go! Go!” someone shouted as the rioters, some in military gear, streamed in.

    It was the start of the most serious attack on the Capitol since the War of 1812. The mob coursed through the building, enraged that Congress was preparing to make Trump’s electoral defeat official. “Drag them out! … Hang them out!” rioters yelled at one point, as they gathered near the House chamber...

    That's the thing about being in a cult. Everyone else is the nutjob and you are the enlightened ones.

    Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The Founding Fathers understood this, and that's why they created a government with three separate, co-equal branches of government. What we saw with Trump and his sycophants is that if you have the power of police and force behind you, it can all collapse, and do so very quickly.
