Ray Epps is on video encouraging people to “go into the Capitol,” and received zero jail time.

But Peter Navarro gets 4 months in federal prison for refusing to comply with a sham committee formed by Nancy Pelosi. She broke House rules and refused to allow actual Republicans to be on the fake committee.

The Department of Injustice is controlled by communist radicals hell-bent on imprisoning their political enemies.

Everyone needs to wake up and recognize the threat our country faces with these tyrannical tactics. 🤔

I am a ‘Snow 100% murdered Dr Gaul the instant he didn’t need her anymore’ truther. I will hear no different.

Firstly because Gaul is a sadistic murderous sociopath who knows entirely too much about Snow - Gaul knew about Lucy Gray, about the way Snow had once been weak for a girl from Twelve - there is no way Snow would ever be able to feel safe or like he actually held absolute power and had complete control while she was alive. Infamously, Snow isn’t wasteful, so he would keep her around until he was sure there was no further political, social, or scientific advantage he could get from her, but Gaul would never not be a threat to him (or anyone else unfortunate enough to exist in her general vicinity), and that’s true even before you factor in that Snow is deeply, irrationally paranoid. The same day Dr Gaul stops being useful? Poisoned with extreme prejudice.

Secondly because I love the narrative justice of it. Gaul makes monsters. She engineers them to do as much damage and to cause as much pain and suffering as possible. Coriolanus Snow, President of Panem, Dictator For Life, Official ‘Worst Dude Ever’ is as much her creation as any of the muttations she made in her lab. The man Snow becomes by the end of tbosas is far and away the worst thing she inflicts on the people of Panem.

What does any good literary monster do when it’s strong enough? It turns on its creator. Volumnia Gaul makes a bigger, more dangerous predator and him killing her would serve her right.

(Snow killing Gaul would also be a nice prelude to his role in Coin’s downfall. You know the “if I had a nickel for every time this objectively terrible human being took down someone even worse albeit for his own purposes…I’d only have two nickels, but it’s weird that it happened twice” of it all)

#like all tyrants turn on the people who get them into power eventually #i bet it would even endear snow to the capitol elite #like sure maybe the new president poisoned his former mentor #but honestly everyone hated her anyway!#sure it won’t become a habit 👀#coriolanus snow #president snow #volumnia gaul #dr gaul #tbosas #abosas

Barely a day after former President Donald Trump was indicted for the third time, some Senate Republicans are already trying to undermine the credibility of the federal judge who was randomly assigned to preside over his trial.

Here’s a detail they’re hoping you won’t notice: They unanimously voted to confirm her.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), speaking on his podcast on Wednesday, accused U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan of being “relentlessly hostile” to Trump and claimed that she has “a reputation for being far-left, even by D.C. District Court standards.”

But Cruz voted to put Chutkan into her seat on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in June 2014. So did every other Senate Republican when she was unanimously confirmed, 95-0.

That includes Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who nonsensically claimed Wednesday that “any conviction in D.C. against Donald Trump is not legitimate.”

“The judge in this case hates Trump,” Graham said in a Fox News interview. “You can convict Trump of kidnapping Lindbergh’s baby in D.C. You need to have a change of venue. We need a new judge. And we need to win in 2024 to stop this crazy crap.”

Aides to Cruz and Graham did not respond to requests for comment on how the senators square their votes to confirm Chutkan with their criticisms of her ability to be a fair judge.

Tuesday’s federal indictment of Trump accuses him of serious crimes related to the 2020 presidential election and the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

Chutkan, a Jamaica-born former assistant public defender and an appointee of former President Barack Obama, has already been overseeing cases related to the Jan. 6 attack. She’s handed out some of the most aggressive sentences yet to rioters who took part in the violence that day. Of the 11 cases that have come before her, she imposed tougher sentences than those sought by the Justice Department seven times and matched what the Justice Department was seeking four times, according to an Associated Press review.

In all 11 cases, Chutkan sentenced the defendants to prison time.

This is what is likely driving the GOP attacks on Chutkan: They know she’s not likely to go easy on Trump now.

Beyond trying to discredit the judge, some Republicans, like Graham, are parroting Trump’s absurd demand for a change of venue. The former president has called for moving his case to the “more diverse” and “politically unbiased nearby State of West Virginia!” (Virginia and Maryland are much closer to D.C., for what it’s worth.)

Not a single Republican raised concerns about Chutkan during her nomination hearing in the Senate Judiciary Committee in February 2014. In fact, only one GOP member of the committee even showed up to the hearing: Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), who was only there to rave about a separate Texas judicial nominee on the schedule. He left before Chutkan was up.

Cruz and Graham were both members of the committee at the time.

Neither attended Chutkan’s hearing.

Hunger Games AU where literally everyone else is aware of What Happened Before except for Cale. Whether this be reincarnation, Hunter fuckery or godly nonsense is up to you.

To Cale some victor in district 7 is really keen on him winning, even though he has his own tributes. Then there's this well known Capitol family that has only ever sponsored in the game once, which was for the district 7 guy, and has now decided to sponsor him. for some reason. And the presidents son is also weirdly supporting Cale. They also keep saying weird things.

Meanwhile, Cale's family is trying to get Cale to Remember Them while also making sure he survives and that they get back to their original world.

Cale had protected them so many times before, so it's only fitting they do so now, even if it means others die.

#tcf #trash of the count's family #cale henituse #choi han is the district 7 victor btw #while the molans are the capitol family. we all know who alberu is lmao #bonus but not mandatory: the actual hunger games characters are here during this and notice this weird shit going on #so it turns into a tug of war between the two. because victors stick together and protect each other - especially the new ones/babies

My Clemensia Dovecote/Capitol Academy uniform is finished! The entire costume was made from scratch except for the bag!

This is probably the first time I've worn the whole cosplay together and so far so good! Also this is the first character I've done that does not require a wig!
