  None of them are sorry. They are all good Republicans.
context: If they apologize to get out of serving prison time, then go on right wing media and say they didn't mean it, isn't that perjury? 
  Should be banned from running for any public office. >
  
  
  Should be banned from running for any public office.
  
  So you want to ban the entire Republican Party? >
  
  If I were in the US, sure. If they're all culpable, goes for all politicians not just the GOP though. Accepting lies and shit as common occurrence from those in positions of leadership. Fuck yeah, get rid of those fuckers >
  
  And replace them what? More of the same? There are no honest politicians >
  
  Yes, rinse and repeat until the trash is taken out. >
  
  So..,,no more politicians then…, >
  
  Bit absolutist don't you think? Just like any generalization, it's a very narrow and ignorant view.
  If society allows fuck nuts like George Santos or whatever his name actually is, that's creating the status quo. 
  The opposite is also true. 
  So again, rinse and repeat until the trash is taken out. 
  If anything, Jacinda Ardern has proven that there are at least one decent human politician. No scandals, stepped down when approval ratings dropped. Again, nobody is perfect and that's not even the expectation. 
  Anyway, have a good day. >
  
  Not shocked at all. Lots of fake bluster and cowardice from that crowd. >
  
  It’s sickening that the courts let them off as easily as they did. >
  
  Seriously. This sets a terrible precedent for future insurrection attempts. >
  
  I went and read about the Beer Hall Putsch to see what is coming. >
  
  That’s exactly what this was >
  
  It’s almost like they’re actually just terrible people 🤷🏻‍♂️ >
  
  Lmao, sounds about right for a lot of these “patriotic” terrorists; tears when you’re in trouble, bluster when it’s far from you. >
  
  That essentially sums up everything about the gop. Rules for thee, not for me. >
  
  Then they lied and should be back in jail.  They were released because they apologized and claimed they realized the error of their ways.  Instead they were just lying. >
  
  Made it better:
  "Then they lied and should be back in jail.  They were released because they apologized and claimed they realized the error of their ways.  Instead they were just Republicans." >
  
  Lying liars lie, film at 11. >
  
  Since they lied about being sorry they should be rearrested and sent to jail or prison and they will change their tune again from inside jail. >
  
  Petulant impotent little shits just like Trump >
  
  Whaaaat? You mean the dipshit fascist wannabes didn't magically stop being dipshit fascist wannabes despite constant downplaying of their crimes by people holding political power and the pansy ass sentences most of them have received? My world is well and truly rocked. 
  Stop giving any of them them the benefit of the doubt. Crush them under the book. >
  
  It's because they are a bunch of stupid cunts >
  
  Why are these statements not considered to be under oath and therefor not treated as perjury? >
  
  Statements made at sentencing are not testimony and not made under oath. >
  
  Oath or not, if they say something that counters something else they said, which was used in the court of law in any way, they should be able to go back and react accordingly.
  I'm a big fan of the idea of double jeopardy; the government absolutely shouldn't be able to change its mind and try a person again for the same crime because it made a mistake or failed to do its own due diligence, but if one is found not guilty of something and then they immediately, clearly, and publically shout "I did it", or "I lied to that stupid judge", I think that should be handled differently. >
  
  Hard to cash in if you’ve apologized. >
  
  Not one of them is truly sorry for what they did. >
  
  And he's announced a bid for a house seat. Surprise! >
  
  Very tough guys when it's convenient and easy to be tough. >
  
  They tried to violently overthrow our democracy; did you think lying would be any big deal? >
  
  Put them on the No-Fly List. That will straighten them out. >
  
  This is why they all needed more than a slap on the wrist. >
  
  I am shocked, not shocked. >
  
  They are liars? Who could have... everyone.. everyone guessed. >
  
  There needs to be a clause in any sort of conviction, plea deal, and/or parole that going back on an apology is a violation of parole and invokes some sort of additional sentence. I'd say five years mandatory minimum. Make them serve every single day with no possibility of early release.
