    Notice the difference here folks.

    Someone tries to attack a Republican politician and they throw the book at her (and rightfully so, that’s not how you should handle these things).

    What happens when Republicans are the criminals and attack the capitol? They get a slap on the wrists. These J6 traitors should be facing 10 or 20 years in prison like the twat in the story, but of course Democrats are too cowardly to ever set some severe punishments.

      The legislative branch makes laws, the judicial branch applies them. Hope this clears things up.

        You have Democrats and Republicans at all branches of government. I hope that clears things up for you.

          I’d love to see a breakdown of political party membership between the branches of government (including law enforcement under the executive branch).
