It will never be anything other than a show trial and an attack on a law enforcement officer doing his job. This is little different that the 60+ election βcasesβ tRump lost while trying to bully the courts into who knows what since he never had any evidence.
It's 100% happening. He will go over after generals and Admiral for treason and criminal charges for the Afghanistan pull out. He will find ways to go after and prosecute everyone who stood against him. He's a dictator. Buckle up. Our democracy is falling.
I'm not shocked anymore, I'm numb. The trump gang is above the law, none being accountable, and we are screwed. A recount and investigation of Musk and Russian influence should have been investigated.
Every little extreme action by Donald is evermore a possibility in his second term. Officer Byrd did his job. Babbitt was trespassing & posed a threat to members of Congress. https://youtube.com/live/PJSAcWtonSU?feature=share
Well said, but I have a really hard time picturing Diapers wasting his time on someone who killed a pawn like Babbitt. Sure, he paraded her name out to impress his base, but he couldn't FORCE himself to care about any of his dopey worker drones.
I see him focusing on Cohen, Smith, Cheney, Stormy..
Meanwhile, he asked if protesters could be shot in the legs for peacefully protesting, yet has a problem with Babbitt being shot after numerous warnings to stop trying to invade the Capitol.
This is all upside-down and backwards.
WHY DO COPS SUPPORT THIS THUG?Why endorse someone whoβll go after one of their own for doing his duty to protect Congress in session from a mob breaking into the Capitol? Heβll let insurrectionists out of prison & go after the cops in harmβs way that day?? WHY DO COPS BETRAY THEIR BROTHERS FOR HIM?
Officer Byrd acted to defend lives, Capitol integrity, and democracy. Rioters threatened officials, including women and elders, with violence and execution. His actions were necessary to prevent greater harm during an attack on our nation's government.
This prosecution will go nowhere. A Capitol police officer shoots someone in the line of duty while protecting the US Capitol during an official procedure. You're going to find a grand jury in DC to indict on that? Or a regular jury in DC to convict?
What can be done to proactively protect the DC cops, esp OfficerByrd?
#AshleyBabbit was in a manic frenzy going into the Capitol, and we can see that here at about timepoint 10.08 where she is screaming at Capitol Police outside Congress. Babbit was not a peaceful tourist.
Sickening. That the leader of the deadly insurrection has evaded punishment, turning the law into a man who was protecting the Capitol!? Make it make sense!!
Trump's extraordinary inability to plan, to lead, to listen and to be even remotely creative will certainly impede his administration and the GOP from accomplishing it Raoul.
But never say never, we must stay involved and vigilant
Well said in what I have been trying to get across. Add to that these piece GOP and MAGA live in the theoritic.. all their polices are about what could happen and possibly can do. Case in point I could recess Senate and appoint who I want.. theoretically.. practically clearly isnβt happening
The infighting has already begun. I canβt wait until Vivek and Elonia break up. Thatβll be good. But theyβre meant to distract.
We must pay attention.
Why are you so confident the Rule of Law will prevail? He has abused our justice system for decades, never moreso than when he was president & especβly over the past two yearsβby endless delays. Heβs a weasel, aided & abetted by other weasels, some of whom (SCOTUS) granted him very broad immunity.
Given the violent circumstances of the moment, Officer Byrd probably feared for his life - and those of members of Congress - when he saw Babbitt climbing through a busted out window to enter a restricted area.
Anyone who thinks Ashlii Babbitt is a martyr has suffered next-level gaslighting.
We need to talk about him being disqualified and removed from office when he violates the presidential oath. SCOTUS may have given him absolute presidential immunity, but they did NOT give him that power to destroy democracy, trash the Constitution, & hurt people with malice.
When has that ever stopped him??? It hasn't. He has broken the law, behaved immorally & unethically for decades with impunity. He learned his lessons well from Roy Kohn. He's totally irredeemable and he has the support of too many that don't think the rules apply to them. Our leaders need standards.
But I thought they wanted to expand qualified immunity so police officers couldnβt be held responsible for their official actions in the line of duty.
Nothing the criminals do would surprise me. It's going to be a loooong arduous 4 years.. if not more..cuz I don't think the StupitOrangeButtface is planning on ever leaving, once he gets to squatting in the Whitehouse.
I am so fortunate to have had 2 grandparents from Ireland and 2 from France; both couples escaped religious traditions that forbade them to marry in 1895. So I live here in beautiful America because of two deeply loving couples who only wanted to love each other.
Every day I am thankful for this.
Oh no. I saw that. Itβs disgraceful. There is no way he should be prosecuted. She was there and engaged in violent and illegal acts. No one wanted her dead, but they were protecting themselves and the politicians.
She got what deserved! She tried to break in to the Capitol Building . If anyone is guilty itβs the orange criminal who planned this insurrection! That pig doesnβt care about anyone heβs only out on a revenge tour ! We will stop him !!
Trump is the only one that should be charged with murder! He started the whole disgusting insurrection! He needs to be brought up on murder!! Fuck those corrupt Trump
Supreme Court clowns!!!
I'm anti death penalty, but if someone is shot in the act of trying to attack others, that's a whole different story. And the fleeing legislators she & the mob wanted to attack were right behind Officer Byrd.
Difficult to believe that this is the sword that they want to die on.. how will this resonate with law enforcement?? Particularly as Old Don wants to give police immunity for their role in rounding up undocumented asylum seekers..
Cognitive dissonance on steroids..
I think Biden won't pardon the police officer. Biden has never been aggressively proactive in defending government agencies and individuals from Trump. It makes Biden look incompetent, weak, and racist.
He did what he was trained to do. There were members of Congress in the chamber. He was defending them. He had no knowledge if they were armed and it was best to assume they were.
Babbitt was warned to stop! The violence against the police was overwhelming and he had a right to protect hisself! Yes they may charge him but a jury will not convict him!
If Michael Byrd sees this, he might contact Mark Zaid or another attorney who specializes in security matters. He suggested to some clients to be out the country on inauguration day & for some time after, to see what Trump does. Fund to cover expenses. https://markzaid.com/ @markzaidesq.bsky.social
Officer Bryd thankfully does have an attorney, and there are many of us who would happily devote our time pro bono to help him. Outrageous to suggest he did anything other than his lawful duty as a law enforcement officer.
Yes, but the cruelty is the point. They want to drag innocent people through the mud and financially bankrupt them. Just to be assholes and wield their corrupt power.
They may make up these charges, but I would be awe-struck if a jury or a judge found him guilty. Self effing defense. I saw it happen live on January 6th.
You know that wouldn't matter even if Biden pardoned him. Trump even outright stated he wanted to exact revenge on ALL people who went against him. It's all about vengeance.
Can you see how Trump is making a mockery out of our Country to the EU and others abroad? Don't fall for it be better than that! Be respectful, kind, attentive to your neighbor show Trump up that we are Americans Proud and Free! We will not kiss the ring but fight for our Democracy Together!
This is so wrong! That girl & the rest of that inciteful mob stormed the Capitol. They were in the wrong & that officer was doing his job, protecting the people inside that room. It's a shame she lost her life, yes, but she should NOT have been doing what she did.
Autocracy and authoritarian rule is soon to become the norm in our nation including weaponizing our own government against βwe the peopleβ! Our unity in organized opposition will be our only defense.
I hate to say it but you all need to arm yourselves to the hilt. Secure your homes, set traps, etc. MAGA are lunatics. Be prepared for the worst. #uspoli
Well, we shall see. It should be Trump getting sued for calling the J6 to happen. She was shot because Trump summoned his Maga to go to the White House. And she was following his calling.
Ridiculous. The officer was performing his duty. Babbitt was trying to break into our Capitol to cause death, damage or harm to any member of Congress. She is clearly seen trying to break into the door as a domestic terrorists trying to stop our democratic process of the peaceful transfer of power.
Exactly. MAGA was literally wild eyed and drunk on their insurrection/coup fantasies coming to life. Iβm just shocked more of them werenβt killed while the LEOs defended our Congress critters. He was 100% justified. Iβm broke AF but I would find $50 to donate.
It won't even matter that you can hear the crowd being forewarned and her entering through a rammed door. So tired of hearing how she was a victim. She chose to be there and be a criminal.
This is same guy who said "We're going to give our police their power backβ¦and we are going to give them immunity from prosecution."
Is this gonna be another selective enforcement like his tariffs will be?
Illegal Iβm sure but he has his own immunity in place. Iβm feeling sick
So here we are as predicted. And every lawyer with a podcast, who just spent four years telling listeners that they were too ignorant to understand the system and should instead be quiet and patient is now trying to rally them into action. Theyβve gaslit you for four years. They sell you dodgy home
Cures, and spout endless bullshit. And now they are all trying to change the focus of their websites, because they like the sponsorship money. Four years has been a lucrative parlour game
The paradox of someone who thinks the police should be exempt from prosecution but who wants to go after a policeman for doing his duty is mind-blowing.
This won't be easy; everyone in the country has seen the video where the glass-breakers are shouting, "Gun! Gun! He's got a gun!" then 2 secs later, there's Ashli climbing through the window, seemingly secure in the belief that they wouldn't shoot a WHITE woman who was threatening the lives of reps.
This makes me so angry. The person who should be charged in the death of Ashli Babbitt is donald john trump. She would still be alive today had she not believed his lies about the "stolen" election and if he behaved like an adult instead of a butt hurt baby, not able to accept the election results
Traitors and terrorists would not have gotten into the Capitol building if the Capitol police ALL had and used shot guns. Even if they were full of rock salt - it would have deterred most.
Honestly, i hope he had the means to get out and the country and seek political asylum somewhere. A lot of countries with extradition treaties wonβt give up a person whose might face the death penalty.
I wish I was exaggerating the danger.
He might have left already.
Dear @meiselasb.bsky.social
@mspopok.bsky.social
Just dropped a video at how low the margin has fallen in the vote. 1.5%. My question is why you guys have not been looking into election irregularities such as duplicate software voter suppression etc. Why would you not want to know whether ‡οΈ
we even had a reliable election outcome in the first place. History will be asking this question for sure: "Why didn't they verify? They just accepted it when they could have challenged and found out that there were problems? They lost their entire democracy over thinking they might look bad?" ‡οΈ
There are credible peole looking into this, and I don't quite understand as a long time viewer on YouTube and a Patreon subscriber why you guys are not getting into this. Thank you kindly for your reply.
Maybe he should be investigated. I understand he has quite a checkered record. Why did he fire his gun at ONE UNARMED woman out of a crowd of thousands?
That would be ludicrous, but I could see them doing it because that's who they are. They warned her to stop coming through the door or he'd shoot and the mob saw the gun. How do people not understand mob mentality?

If there is a textbook example of self-defense, Byrd was it.
Double Jeopardy applies?
I see him focusing on Cohen, Smith, Cheney, Stormy..

That they will use a jury.
Get used to russian style courtrooms.
IMO

, once we are aware, the resistance will begin and continue
Non-MAGA America should be terrified for what is likely to come post January 20thβ¦
Every day I am thankful for this.
That he was allowed to run for office is a travesty of the american legal system.
That he was elected to becoming president is an indictment of the american educational system and the american culture as a whole.
Good 1 πͺ
Supreme Court clowns!!!

What is your point?
Department of Justice Closes Investigation into the Death of Ashli Babbitt
Wednesday, April 14, 2021
β’β’β’β’β’β’
So, theyβre just gonna open that right back up again, huh?
Epstein
Ivana
6000 CIA
978.687 Americans
4 Maga
Judges Son
Trump Safest Man Alive
That police officer was doing his JOB, Ashley was a NUTJOB.
But go ahead Trump's DOJ and shine the light on the insurrection and Trump's role in it...more of the R's being the dog who catches the car.
They'll swamp the headlines with this story, blanket the media with his trial, flood SM with comments.
And in the background Trump will be doing some massively heinous shit while no one is watching.
Is this gonna be another selective enforcement like his tariffs will be?
Illegal Iβm sure but he has his own immunity in place. Iβm feeling sick
