Capitol Police chief Tom Manger notified staff: "I told them I was extremely disappointed, and I disagreed with the Dept of Justice’s decision to settle"

It’s actually a bit remarkable that left-leaning advocates can’t get liberal governments to do the right thing while right-leaning advocates seem to have no difficulty whatsoever convincing conservative governments to do the wrong thing.

The message is clear, find the furthest right attorneys to represent you, so they get you more goodies.

I keep hearing Republicans say they are scared for their lives about crossing their voters.

They’ve been waiting decades to be able to do the wrong thing.

remarkable and disturbing; at some point in the future, hopefully soon, we’ll need to figure out why that is and how to fix it. Here in N.J., fingers crossed, that could be in January after Nov. election.

Time for Capitol police to have a sick out.

What they have done here is to establish an understanding in the Loyalist crowd, that should future casualties be incurred in defense of Trump, their families will receive a quantifiable benefit payout.
This removes a classic militant radicalization deterrent; "What happens to my family if I die?"

Now they know their martyrdom is worth $5mil to their survivors.
This is a dangerous thought in a poor man's head when their family is hungry.

The injured police and familes of the dead police should sue the Babbitt family in civil court for defamation.

Paying an insurrectionist millions of dollars to gain crazy points with MAGAs.

trump should pay the 5 mil since he was the one that instigated the whole thing.
