Or testify against him for reduced sentences???? Commute death to life in prison with out possibility of parole?
If one thing for someone to tell you to do something stupid or illegal another thing for you to follow through and do what they say. >

Jump in the lake analogy that my parents used when we tried to blame our stupid actions on other kids doing it too. >

The hyenas keep getting their wal-mart tactical snagged on things, >

When are people going to own up to their own actions? >

The "party of accountability"?!? Don't count on it. >

Both PB and OK were upset with Trump from 1/6 onwards really.
He didn't step up according to them and then didn't pardon them of course. >

If they stormed the capital they have no one to blame but themselves. Last I checked everyone that took part were adult humans and not mindless machines. >


Polling data shows that 64% of Americans — basically anyone who isn't a Fox News junkie — put "a lot" or "some" responsibility for the events of Jan. 6 on Trump. That percentage is almost certainly higher in and around Washington, D.C., where this trial is being held. It's less clear whether that translates into sympathy for the peons who raided the Capitol at Trump's bidding.

It does not. >

Imagine being so disconnected from reality that you have the audacity to be surprised that a man literally world famous for lying to everyone in his orbit used you and hung you out to dry. Donald Trump has cheated on all three of his wives. He’s cheated his contractors. He’s seduced his friends’ wives. He’s insulted his own children. And those are the people he knows! He likes those people.
But the Proud Boys? He doesn’t even know they fucking exist. >

They were the unbelievably blunt instrument of Trump's insurrection. Believing anything Trump, Giuliani and Stone said makes them criminally stupid scapegoats. Those 3 liars should be in there with them but hard to feel sorry for dumb and violent when the find out part starts. >

Now the real question... How many of them would vote for him again? >

Half? >

They are not scapegoats, they're accomplices.  Calling them scapegoats suggests they're being unfairly held responsible for someone else's actions.  
There is nothing unfair about sending traitors to jail. >

Not scapegoats, partners in crime. None of these assholes are victims. >


Proud Boy leader's lawyer argues Capitol insurrectionists are "scapegoats" for Trump's actions. 

Adults are responsible for their actions. >

They're patsies, not scapegoats. >

Why isn’t Trump paying their legal bills? >

Scapegoats are innocent people blamed for bad things.  The proud boys were stupid enough to believe Trump.  Two different things.
At the same time, Trump was loving how he could manipulate people who he has call distasteful. >

Bullshit title. They aren't scapegoats, they're accomplices. >

Everyone better hope Desantis doesn’t run, Trump was a moron and incompetent at every level. The Dems better find a strong ticket, this is some real stuff! >

Very true. >

Perhaps they should sue Trump…
