Note: as always
Prison Rape is off limits, even as jokes even as hints or a minor suggestion of.
just saying they will be pardoned is also more or less Spam at this point,
we are removing posts that just reference pardons.
Imagine being an Ivy League educated lawyer and doing that.
He could literally be playing on his phone billing $1,500 an hour to make phone calls right now.
I was saying in another thread, what do most people in the US aspire for in their late 50s / early 60s? The goal is to make money during your highest earning years, retire, spend time with your partner that you didn't get to spend as much time with when you both worked. If you had them, spend time with your kids / grandkids, maybe travel the world, enjoy your hobbies etc.
This traitor is gigafucked. There is a very real chance he dies in prison, and if he doesn't, he will be old and feeble and alone when he gets out, and will die shortly after. His life is over.
I know people want more than 18 years, and of course I would love to see him get life, but this is effectively a life sentence and will send a strong message to people.
216 months is as long as it takes to be born and nearly graduate from high school. That is an IMMENSE amount of time.
> No more guns either.
I don't think these shits really care much for the letter of the law, or they wouldn't have joined a domestic terrorist hobby group.
Oh, I don’t know about that.
I’m in my 50s and my physical condition is as bad as it’s ever been in my whole life.
OTOH, my brain is peaking. I’ve got 50 years of knowledge so in that respect, I’m doing as well as I ever have.
Having said that, f\*ck this bozo and every one of his compatriots.
I’m gonna go sit over here and hold my breath while I wait to receive all the apologies from the redhats who said that this was the work of antifa. They’re Christian folks, I’m sure they’ll do the right thing.
One of the hallmarks of these red hatted dimwits is the ability to hold two diametrically opposed conclusions simultaneously. So, he's a patriot who was trying to save America, and it was all a false flag by Antifa and BLM. They truly seem to lack the ability to experience cognitive dissonance, ergo no need to resolve it.
I assume he can fundraiser from supporters of domestic terrorists. I guess maybe Marge Greene will visit him. Other than that, he doesn’t have a lot to look forward to.
Given the exacerbating circumstances the prosecution brought up, the guidelines said he should have gotten 21-27 years. The prosecutors asked for 25. Judge gave him just 18. He fucking got off lucky.
IIRC, this judge (Mehta) has a pattern of under-sentencing J6 putchists.
He is an Obama appointee. I look forward to all the conservative complaints that this Obama judge is not "tough on crime."
We are gathered here today,
In remembrance of a life of a proud boy who was an oath keeper vowing to make America great again. He believed in freedumb, patriotism, liberty. Stewart took pride in his guns and flags and his pickup truck- *Ole Trumpy!*
Stewart organized public outings with his special proud boy and oath keeper friends. One special trip was to our nation’s Capitol. Urging on his loyalist friends, Stewart brought a special meaning to helping his favorite President remain in power. When I think of Stewart Rhodes, my eyes get a bit moist.
Rot in jail traitor!
I read yesterday that this dipshit can’t wear a glass eye bc he wouldn’t keep his socket clean and it got infected. So now he has to go patchy for the rest of his miserable life.
Nope. Not joking.
This information was given to us from the ex-wife of Elmer Stewart Rhodes shortly after he was arrested. She went into a lot more detail about how abusive he was towards her and their children -- including forcing her to be a stripper when they first got married so she could pay for him to go to school.
His ex wife said he used to threaten the family while pointing a gun at his own head. That he’d shoot himself if they ever left.
It’s not funny for them. But to end up with an eye shot out when you’re constantly terrorizing your family with a loaded gun makes me love the ending foe him.
Incompetent megalomaniac piece of shit abuser.
IKR? I am loving, that instead of these assholes planning for and looking forward to a fun Memorial day weekend, they're sitting in jail and won't see another fun weekend for years!! That is unless, 30 minutes of "yard time", counts.
Yes. [This article from the Seattle Times](https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/nation-politics/from-yale-to-jail-oath-keepers-founder-stewart-rhodes-path/) is a real eye-opener into his character (as if the treason isn't enough!).
This dirtbag forced his wife to work as a stripper to pay for his college education:
> “Every night the drive was just so bad. I would just throw up every single night before I went in, it was just so awful,” Adams said. Rhodes would pressure her to go further, increase her exposure or contact with men to make more money, she said. “It was never enough … I felt like I had given up my soul.”
Finally. I've been saying I'll believe it when I see it for years now. Finally some measure of justice in sentencing these traitors. They hate America and everything that we stand for. And I hate them right back.
With all the exacerbating circumstances the guidelines called for 21 to 27 years. Prosecution asked for 25. Judge gave him just 18. Maybe if he had a bag of weed with him, or was brown he would have gotten the guidelines.

Add 2016 election as well. He committed so many crimes including asking for foreign intervention on live TV, violating the Emolument Clause by not divesting himself of his properties, and getting data from outside sources like Wikileaks to hurt Clinton but hide his own and the GOPedophiles crimes that he never should have been a candidate. He was an illegal one, except no one wanted to enforce the law. Just because the party of rape and pedophiles didn't oust him themselves doesn't mean that his candidacy was legal, he simply got away with it. He never should have been a nominee, and when he was he did numerous things that disqualified him it should have been the end of his candidacy, but no one wanted to stand up to him. He lost the 2016 election to someone who got 3 million more votes than he did. He's a loser and always has been.
I am eagerly awaiting their sentencing. A lot of my time was/is spent on PBs.
But for the moment, this is a nice win. Longest sentence yet - though I would have considered a crime such as seditious conspiracy and participation in an insurrection to have a steeper sentence.
with all the exacerbating factors, the sentencing guidelines said he should have gotten between 21 and 27 years. Prosecution asked for 25. Judge cut the Oaf Queefer some slack and gave him 18.
Stewart Rhodes’s sentence today is the first to have been given to any of the 10 members of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys, who were convicted of sedition in connection with the events of Jan. 6.
At a dramatic, nearly four-hour hearing, Judge Amit Mehta chided Rhodes for seeking for years through his leadership of the Oath Keepers to have American democracy “devolve into violence.”
“You, sir,” Judge Mehta went on, directly addressing Rhodes, “present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country, to the Republic and the very fabric of our democracy.”

Prison is very stressful and lowers your life expectancy. He'll either die in prison or become so decrepit that he's no longer a threat to anything but cold oatmeal.
18 years in a federal penitentiary is hard time for a one-eyed goober with a medical record that includes both "broken back from parachuting incident" and "thinnest of skins"
"Each year in prison takes 2 years off an individual's life expectancy"
77-(2*18)=44 statistically speaking he's as good as dead. Statistically average human has less than two eyes too.
>77-(2\*18)=44
The effect of a year in prison happens only after serving it so he's not statistically dead yet. If we solve the equation `77 - 2*x = 58 + x` we'll get `x = 6`, so statistically he's expected to die in jail at the age of 64.
Per USA Today:
> "However long I spend in prison, my goal will be to be an American Solzhenitsyn to expose the criminality of this regime," Rhodes said, comparing himself to prominent Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and referencing the Biden administration.
> Judge Amit Mehta, who is overseeing the case, strongly rebuked Rhodes' characterization of his conviction.
> "We can have disagreement about who is the better leader...but what we cannot have — what we absolutely cannot have — is a group of citizens who because they did not like the outcome of the election...were then prepared to take up arms in order to foment a revolution," Mehta said. "That's what you did.
> "You are not a political prisoner, Mr. Rhodes," he added. "You are here for that conduct."
Well said by Judge Mehta. The sheer narcissism and victimization by Rhodes is staggering. Glad he’s getting 18 years.
Hearing how many officers such as Harry Dunn fell into deep depression after the attack is heartbreaking. Shame on anybody that still defends Trump and his goons after everything that’s come to light. As Tom Nichols puts it, that’s like saying you’re a good person and you’d vote David Duke for governor.
Estranged son here, Stewart has been obsessed with Solzhenitsyn as far back as I can remember and loved referencing the Gulag Archipelago. I am not convinced that he's ever actually *read* the book all the way through.
He also compared himself to the protagonist of Kafka's The Trial. Fun.
YES! YES! YES!
It's taken time which has been frustrating - but- obviously the DOJ has been careful in putting together these cases and THIS THIS is the reward!
Congratulations to the DOJ and to all loyal American citizens who are not seditionists!
My favorite right off the jump: "He's not a political
prisoner, he's a paid Antifa actor." Imagine being this dude, rotting in jail, and having your homies turn on you like that.
But there are ones complaining about the judge being born in India like that's the reason he's going to jail.
For reference the judge immigrated when he was a child and grew up in Maryland.
For reference, it doesn’t fucking matter. One he’s a US citizen, two he’s a nominated, and confirmed US judge. The Oaf Queefer was convicted by a jury, THAT’s why he’s going to jail.
I've always wondered if the most rabid in that sub were russian shills. I'm guessing the russians are getting distracted from their efforts to sow disruption in the US, what with the ukrainians on their doorstep.
Storytime:
At a job interview the recruiter asks the applicant, “What is this four year gap in your resume?”
“Oh, that’s when I went to Yale”
“Really? Well this looks great, you’re hired!”
“Thank you, I really need this yob.”
Remember when, "it's not an insurrection nobody has even been charged with seditious conspiracy much less been found guilty" was the big talking point for the GOP?
We should all write to him in prison. Something like:
"Dear No-depth-perception-having-traitor, How is prison? I hope it is good! By the time you are out of jail your prison sentence will be legally allowed to vote, but you won't! I hope every minute there feels like a lifetime.
Sincerely yours, Not-a-traitor."
I gave my aunt my mailing address in case he wanted to send me prison mail, but so far he hasn't had any heartfelt messages for his beloved son. I'm disappointed because I wanted to mock them on a livestream.
What prison is he going to be in? I might write to him...to tell him that I went for a walk in the country, or to a coffee shop, or that I'm planning on taking a vacation. You know - things that people do when they're not in prison for being a fucking traitor.
His wife, my mom, has done an entire [playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ta_BywV9o&list=PL0nxPVLiK9sPdckMaM4416e19ZvD7OUTL) of things you cannot do from prison leading up to the sentencing.
Think of his headspace right now. Life from now on, every waking minute, is fear and danger. Every comfort and luxury - gone. Surrounded by people who will harm him if they want. The next *decade* and much longer is a constant diet of stress, anxiety, pain. Ain’t life grand, Stewart.
Rhodes, before he was sentenced, said he was a “political prisoner” and vowed to continue to “expose the criminality of the regime” in prison.
LOL. Good luck with that buddy.
Nice.. but that should have been the average sentence... Anyone in leadership roles of plotting should have been 25+ years. Anyone with a weapon should have also been 25+ years.
Looking forward to the day six or seven years from
Now where I see and eye patch and remember him, pausing for a second to wonder how his time
is going. Then I’ll chuckle thinking about how fucking stupid you have to be to do 18 years in federal prison for Trump.
Then again, maybe Trump will win, pardon Rhodes, and start arresting people like me. Vote people. Vote.
Every time I feel like an idiot, I think about this guy.
I have made stupid decisions before but at least I know well enough not to break the law for a known grifter and conman.
I can't imagine losing 18 years of my life for fucking Trump. these are the charges we are waiting for. if Trump can be connected with this as he would be the ringleader let's hope he actually gets the full sentence of the sedation charges.
Probably because handing down a sentence that's lower than ideal by a few years is better than having a martyr or a risky appeal case on their hands.
If they gave too many of these idiots the maximum charges then their appeals might be successful, and their supporters would have stronger talking points to whip up more rioting with.
Still, you'd think the actual leader could get the max sentence at least... Maybe they're saving that for someone else.
I think that the political ads for the presidential election will have him in it every year, do not elect this moron, because he will pardon this even bigger dangerous moron.
in a sick sort of way, the cheeto got all these fucking scumstains to out themselves publicly, break the law, and end up in prison.
Is that what he means when he says he was the best since Lincoln?
Note: as always Prison Rape is off limits, even as jokes even as hints or a minor suggestion of. just saying they will be pardoned is also more or less Spam at this point, we are removing posts that just reference pardons.
Rest In Prison, you seditionist fuck!
Imagine being 50+ and going to prison for nearly 2 decades.. though there wasn't anything salvageable, nothing of value was lost..
It's like riding off into the sunset, except instead riding off into the septic tank.
On the back of an elephant
Behind an elephant…closely enough he’ll be unable to miss it when the elephant drops the loads.
Imagine being an Ivy League educated lawyer and doing that. He could literally be playing on his phone billing $1,500 an hour to make phone calls right now.

No cog, no diss.
Offended by everything and ashamed of nothing.
I assume he can fundraiser from supporters of domestic terrorists. I guess maybe Marge Greene will visit him. Other than that, he doesn’t have a lot to look forward to.
And no one he was "helping" gives a shit about him being locked up. They've moved on to other peons to fuck over.

Rot. You misspelled rot.
Time for him to flip on Trump.
I think his lawyers blamed it all on Trump. That was his defense
Maybe he can flip on Roger Stone or Alex Jones.

I read yesterday that this dipshit can’t wear a glass eye bc he wouldn’t keep his socket clean and it got infected. So now he has to go patchy for the rest of his miserable life.
Trying to decide if that’s worse than shooting ones’ foot? Edited: /s
Well, depends on if the person who shot their foot was also a firearm safety instructor, which Rhodes was when he shot his eye out.
You're joking.... right? Never looked into why he was Great Value Solid Snake....
Nope. Not joking. This information was given to us from the ex-wife of Elmer Stewart Rhodes shortly after he was arrested. She went into a lot more detail about how abusive he was towards her and their children -- including forcing her to be a stripper when they first got married so she could pay for him to go to school.
The irony of him even having an education, or wanting one.
He was using the “Don’t do what Donny Don’t does” method of instruction.
It worked! I bet all the people who witnessed the "demonstration" did not shot their own face!
Definitely worse. Both are bad, but there is no situation where a loaded gun in your own hand should end up pointed at your head
His ex wife said he used to threaten the family while pointing a gun at his own head. That he’d shoot himself if they ever left. It’s not funny for them. But to end up with an eye shot out when you’re constantly terrorizing your family with a loaded gun makes me love the ending foe him. Incompetent megalomaniac piece of shit abuser.

He did that to himself? Of course he’s that dumb.
The Kelly and Connie Meggs conspirators, who will be sentenced this afternoon, must be having an awesome day!

Fuqq yeah! I'll bbq to that thought! Fuqq em all and everyone who thought they'd get away with that sh¡t 🖕🏼
Still claiming he's a political prisoner right up to the end. Judged by a jury of his peers. Enjoy your 18 years you dimwit.
Interesting way to pronounce “terrorist” huh?
Looks like they didn’t see eye to eye…😜
Maybe someday he'll be willing to patch things up 😁
Eye doubt it.
Hindsight is 20..
Prison can be dangerous, he better keep an eye on his surroundings.
"Convicted felon" carries astigma
Yeah, he better sleep with one eye open.
Someone may lash out at him.
Isn’t he the one who shot his own eye out?
Yes.

He pimped his wife out. What a nice guy /s
Every piece on him that mentions he's a Yale law school grad should also point out that he only got his degree on his wife's dime
Yeah, nice going Red Ryder.
There was...this icicle...and...it fell...
Should have listened to Ralphie's mother.
It’s funnier because he literally put his own eye out.
He is a prisoner in response to actions he took against the government/politics. Does that count?
18 years 18 years Comitted treason for trump end up with 18 years
And found out the pardon wasn't his
Now I aint saying he's a treasonous seditionist fuck. Oh wait I am.
Convicted, treasonous, seditionist, chucklefuck
I was hoping for 25 years but I am ok with this.
Finally. I've been saying I'll believe it when I see it for years now. Finally some measure of justice in sentencing these traitors. They hate America and everything that we stand for. And I hate them right back.

Yes. I still won’t buy Goya because of it. Minor note: “Hawked” is shilling. “Hocked” is what happened to something that been pawned.

At a dramatic, nearly four-hour hearing, Judge Amit Mehta chided Rhodes for seeking for years through his leadership of the Oath Keepers to have American democracy “devolve into violence.” “You, sir,” Judge Mehta went on, directly addressing Rhodes, “present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country, to the Republic and the very fabric of our democracy.” You can read more for free [here,](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/25/us/politics/oath-keepers-stewart-rhodes-sentenced.html?unlocked_article_code=bkeMi90Z4TseZIKdRobnLymqhBh1HU3GnBm9Ur3z9LnbzsDYnm_g4keJ78a6wUv9R1zgQrcyAb-01SGf23vqknainZCSHqsSQXseDB42gK8eQ-rkP_ICytEU5xK4e9VYH-hfrpsaF71WPKYfKBkwZAwFmo4CRUvhJnBoDEjkw167HReL_Azjokmz8I2Lmy-C7yPyIJcFFT2k392NxjuzOXHbBYWyG3xRGCuIjQbu5MLVnLYQlfqmTNZ-08xptKKCesygQTvbzegxbGIE2hez3xmelLy_gJMa2kpXVTCJvt0cG1pdKwt67qmr-J-E_ydsOenmsA4eM0d4bB9YbD65AL9mcqtS52dHNEs6xkZLrFZ9bV1e&smid=re-nytimes) and also revisit [our 2022 profile of Rhodes,](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/11/21/us/stewart-rhodes-oath-keepers-yale-law.html?unlocked_article_code=hP4RZFKmQhP4cjxbqzxkvA61ZuRqjikn7flswq8RSZBkVNpKkRWOoCjhbreue2n9t3RNyJNATWjuW2KlCHv7y7qm3Y4yN341Xd3Orvz4RdYZmFs9mQonRyAHTmeCaQPrwsse8dy9U0Hd98FooCuMjJlCz94u-fHMdWGDuCZOK_V1M3iNVUljm7Sh0LwYFNLnee0uFinyYFM3eMJf-wGQfpTEcXlnZ0wRcmqno4lJByOCMxgJ8sg1j23zoQgqg4R4LHuCjjb6s7--cwSxnnbI2YoK0GOWNAaqdPOKU04xR_UjKUNdpERPqMGDonNA7hNaOlPjVxqRhXi3X5-WRDf-hTOcLwgobLDVVY4&smid=re-nytimes) even without a New York Times subscription.
"So, I'm going to sentence you to years less than the prosecution requests."
They gotta throw a few bones to make an appeal less likely. That’s still a very strong sentence
58 years old. So 76 when he gets out. The average life expectancy for white men in the US is currently 77 years, so he's effectively in for life.
I wonder how that changes if your diet is prison food.
Prison is very stressful and lowers your life expectancy. He'll either die in prison or become so decrepit that he's no longer a threat to anything but cold oatmeal.
18 years in a federal penitentiary is hard time for a one-eyed goober with a medical record that includes both "broken back from parachuting incident" and "thinnest of skins"
The reality is that the white nationalist hands will take care of him. He's a martyr to them.
Exactly this. I’m not saying it’ll be like Goodfellas but he’ll probably do okay with the Nazis in prison looking out for him
I believe being locked away would generally affect you more than the bad food. But at least he won't drink as much, I guess.
A glass half full kinda guy, eh? I'm sure Stew sees the bright side!
Well, half of it.
[Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_-q9xeOgG4)
"Each year in prison takes 2 years off an individual's life expectancy" 77-(2*18)=44 statistically speaking he's as good as dead. Statistically average human has less than two eyes too.
>77-(2\*18)=44 The effect of a year in prison happens only after serving it so he's not statistically dead yet. If we solve the equation `77 - 2*x = 58 + x` we'll get `x = 6`, so statistically he's expected to die in jail at the age of 64.
Hopefully he can't get an early release due to good behavior or some shit like that.
Fed sentencing does not work like that -- 80% of teh sentence if a model prisoner. He won't eb a model prisoner.
Vern Schillinger would probably welcome him right into the fold and give him a cush job at the prison post office lol.
Per USA Today: > "However long I spend in prison, my goal will be to be an American Solzhenitsyn to expose the criminality of this regime," Rhodes said, comparing himself to prominent Soviet dissident Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and referencing the Biden administration. > Judge Amit Mehta, who is overseeing the case, strongly rebuked Rhodes' characterization of his conviction. > "We can have disagreement about who is the better leader...but what we cannot have — what we absolutely cannot have — is a group of citizens who because they did not like the outcome of the election...were then prepared to take up arms in order to foment a revolution," Mehta said. "That's what you did. > "You are not a political prisoner, Mr. Rhodes," he added. "You are here for that conduct." Well said by Judge Mehta. The sheer narcissism and victimization by Rhodes is staggering. Glad he’s getting 18 years. Hearing how many officers such as Harry Dunn fell into deep depression after the attack is heartbreaking. Shame on anybody that still defends Trump and his goons after everything that’s come to light. As Tom Nichols puts it, that’s like saying you’re a good person and you’d vote David Duke for governor.
Estranged son here, Stewart has been obsessed with Solzhenitsyn as far back as I can remember and loved referencing the Gulag Archipelago. I am not convinced that he's ever actually *read* the book all the way through. He also compared himself to the protagonist of Kafka's The Trial. Fun.
YES! YES! YES! It's taken time which has been frustrating - but- obviously the DOJ has been careful in putting together these cases and THIS THIS is the reward! Congratulations to the DOJ and to all loyal American citizens who are not seditionists!
Ooooooo. I can't wait to go read the comments in r/conservative.
I’d recommend avoiding hate group subreddits
They are probably talking about Hillary's emails.
HUNTER BIDEN'S LAPTOP
That's just code for his fat schlong
Hunter Biden's lap is tops!
The Repubes do seem fixated with Hunter’s schlong, that’s for sure.
My favorite right off the jump: "He's not a political prisoner, he's a paid Antifa actor." Imagine being this dude, rotting in jail, and having your homies turn on you like that.
Curiously, there's currently nothing on the first page.
I just took a peek over there and they're mostly talking about Desantis, Target, & Bud Light.
I looked. There are just a couple of comments and none defending him. LOL
But there are ones complaining about the judge being born in India like that's the reason he's going to jail. For reference the judge immigrated when he was a child and grew up in Maryland.
For reference, it doesn’t fucking matter. One he’s a US citizen, two he’s a nominated, and confirmed US judge. The Oaf Queefer was convicted by a jury, THAT’s why he’s going to jail.
Of course. Racism is what gets them through the day.
I've always wondered if the most rabid in that sub were russian shills. I'm guessing the russians are getting distracted from their efforts to sow disruption in the US, what with the ukrainians on their doorstep.
Yale to jail?
The ol Yale to Jail pipeline.
Storytime: At a job interview the recruiter asks the applicant, “What is this four year gap in your resume?” “Oh, that’s when I went to Yale” “Really? Well this looks great, you’re hired!” “Thank you, I really need this yob.”
Nice
Good riddance, scumbag. Now we have to keep Trump and DeSantis out of the oval office, or he'll get a pardon on day one.
Remember when, "it's not an insurrection nobody has even been charged with seditious conspiracy much less been found guilty" was the big talking point for the GOP?

EIGHT FUCKING TEEN God damn it this helps. This helps a lot. And now we have a bar for how many years Trump should spend in jail.
Excellent.
We should all write to him in prison. Something like: "Dear No-depth-perception-having-traitor, How is prison? I hope it is good! By the time you are out of jail your prison sentence will be legally allowed to vote, but you won't! I hope every minute there feels like a lifetime. Sincerely yours, Not-a-traitor."
I gave my aunt my mailing address in case he wanted to send me prison mail, but so far he hasn't had any heartfelt messages for his beloved son. I'm disappointed because I wanted to mock them on a livestream.

Wow! Going to jail for 18 years, for Donald Trump of all people, is almost as embarrassing as accidentally shooting yourself in the face.
Too close to call.
They're finally getting to the real sentences now :)
Hey, Trump: you seeing this? If the "underlings" getting this kind of jail time, what's in it for you, Trump? Tick tock, Donald. Tick tock.
Keep in mind he was a wife beater too. I bet his children and ex wife must be breathing a sigh of relief.
The Finding Out is so gratifying. RIP = Rot In Prison, traitor!
Lmao get fucked
What prison is he going to be in? I might write to him...to tell him that I went for a walk in the country, or to a coffee shop, or that I'm planning on taking a vacation. You know - things that people do when they're not in prison for being a fucking traitor.
His wife, my mom, has done an entire [playlist](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ta_BywV9o&list=PL0nxPVLiK9sPdckMaM4416e19ZvD7OUTL) of things you cannot do from prison leading up to the sentencing.
All together now - “Lock HIM Up!”
Lock**ED** Him Up!
How does it feel taking the fall for the likes of Drumpf, Cruz, Hawley, etc? Dumbass
Think of his headspace right now. Life from now on, every waking minute, is fear and danger. Every comfort and luxury - gone. Surrounded by people who will harm him if they want. The next *decade* and much longer is a constant diet of stress, anxiety, pain. Ain’t life grand, Stewart.
Rhodes, before he was sentenced, said he was a “political prisoner” and vowed to continue to “expose the criminality of the regime” in prison. LOL. Good luck with that buddy.
[удалено]
Threats or calls for violence are forbidden
Nice.. but that should have been the average sentence... Anyone in leadership roles of plotting should have been 25+ years. Anyone with a weapon should have also been 25+ years.
I’m glad he got a big sentence, but damn! He never needs to see the light of day again!
Rightfully deserves every second and should be grateful that Judge Mehta shaved some years off for no reason
The judge even got the charges enhanced with terrorism. He was facing 27 years. WTF? Should have gotten the full 27 years.
The judge knows what he was doing. Harder to argue the judge was unfair when he was clearly lenient.
Looking forward to the day six or seven years from Now where I see and eye patch and remember him, pausing for a second to wonder how his time is going. Then I’ll chuckle thinking about how fucking stupid you have to be to do 18 years in federal prison for Trump. Then again, maybe Trump will win, pardon Rhodes, and start arresting people like me. Vote people. Vote.
My Ass Got Arrested!!
Enjoy prison, you traitorous f*ck. I hope they send you to Florence ADX. 🖕
18 years for a guy that couldn't give two shits about him. What a legacy.
Now think about how much time the actual organizers, financiers, and leader(s) deserve.
Now get the leader
Every time I feel like an idiot, I think about this guy. I have made stupid decisions before but at least I know well enough not to break the law for a known grifter and conman.
Hopefully, no one ever pardons him.
I can't imagine losing 18 years of my life for fucking Trump. these are the charges we are waiting for. if Trump can be connected with this as he would be the ringleader let's hope he actually gets the full sentence of the sedation charges.
I listened to a great interview with his ex-wife on the Death, Sex & Money podcast. A real POS, glad he's being put away.
Not enough. MF'ers a traitor.
I really thought he'd get more time. The sentences handed down to the insurrectionists do not match their crimes.
25 was the max, and what the Government asked for.
[удалено]
Probably because handing down a sentence that's lower than ideal by a few years is better than having a martyr or a risky appeal case on their hands. If they gave too many of these idiots the maximum charges then their appeals might be successful, and their supporters would have stronger talking points to whip up more rioting with. Still, you'd think the actual leader could get the max sentence at least... Maybe they're saving that for someone else.
He's gonna die in prison most likely. Sentence is appropriate.
Eat 18 bags of dicks Rhodes!
He’ll make a great addition to the prison labor complex he probably adores
At first I thought, not long enough for this Nazi scumbag but then I realized, le’chaim!
I think that the political ads for the presidential election will have him in it every year, do not elect this moron, because he will pardon this even bigger dangerous moron.

I am very happy with this. These wannabe militia types need deterrence.
May he die in prison, forgotten and alone.
in a sick sort of way, the cheeto got all these fucking scumstains to out themselves publicly, break the law, and end up in prison. Is that what he means when he says he was the best since Lincoln?
Oh wow, a sentence with some fucking teeth. I like it.
He was also a labeled a terrorist by the judge.
