Jordan Klepper On How We Should Deal with Jan 6th Rioters | The Daily Show

[@camelsheit_on_the_walls446]

As a Norwegian and one of probably billions of World citizens all across our planet who were watching, aghast, the attack on USA's Capitol unfolding on live TV before our very eyes, it has been quite disturbing, and frankly depressing, to behold how it even was up for discussion whether trump is suitable to be on the ballot or not. And the ruling on that, by USA's so-called Supreme Court, is downright abominable.

[@nomenclature9373]

After leaving office, he and Hannity did a speaking tour. It was the same talking points, but relatively mild. Then the day where he left planet reality forever. He mentioned he got the covid jab and the audience instantly turned on him and so did maga world. Not to lose popularity, he regurgitated any conspiracy floating around about Biden, and other politicians which then got reposted and a feedback loop formed which continues today. Jerry Springer, Madonna and Lady Gaga knew how to sell to their audiences, summed up by Gaga: If that is what the little monsters want, that is what the little monsters get. X45: hold my diet cola.

[@jameswade8970]

Not a Senator, just the consensus lowest IQ Representative in the House - the "honorable" Louis Gommert! Even Texans statewide couldn't countenance electing someone so bereft of intellect as one of their Senators.

[@Xelante427]

I find it kind of inspiring, imagine if they did this for every US citizen getting released from prison. Reassuring them that no matter how harsh their crime, no matter how harsh the punishment they received for it, their Senators still see them as true American citizens and part of the Nation. That this can really be a new beginning for them. Bonus point: Given the sheer amount of prisoners in the US carceral system, it could possibly be a really taxing obligation for Senators to attend to, giving them some reason to really want to find solutions to the issue. They might even want to make the part about "new beginnings" a reality, imagine that.

[@samc9133]

​@@Xelante427 You've got a point there. At the end of the day they served their time, and now it is time for them to move on and have every opportunity other citizens do. But... I feel like, if they are going to award specifically J6 rioters, and no one else... They're making a very specific statement there and it's pretty disgusting.

[@playerpage]

I'm okay with the idea that everyone gets a second chance. What makes me cringe is that the January 6th riot was directed at the Congressional building and those who work and serve there. So a Senator giving a rioter (even one who's done their time) a flag is like a victim pandering to (not forgiving, which is noble, but pandering) their abuser.

Gohmert giving her that flag is so insanely disrespectful to this nation's military men and women, veterans, and their families.

It's presented at their funeral "on behalf of the president of the United States and on behalf of a grateful nation."

Yes

I always thought that treason was punishable by d34th. Growing up we always heard that. Is that not the case?

[@DarksideDave42]

The word treason has been used loosely to attack the people you don't like .... I'm not a lawyer so .... grains of salt please .... my best understanding of the strictly legal and narrow definition is that treason can only happen when the country is in a state of war ..... The last time we were in a real war .... declared by congress .... was 1945 ..... If people are doing things that could be charged as treason IF we were at war ... other crimes need to be applied but not treason ....

[@knytrix]

@@DarksideDave42 Perhaps it's overused, but I would include the attempted overthrow of the United States Government as treason. If anything *not wartime* would be considered treason it would be that.

[@DavidDingoBleecher]
