I feel like nevertheless it feels like an easy out for them all.

Yeah.

I have little doubt that QAnon Shaman dude is mentally ill.

But I also think that other mentally ill people who exhibit poor judgement and break the law get punished beyond all reasonable proportion in the US justice system. Ideally, the understanding exhibited towards the mentally ill is distributed evenly, rather than applied mostly to specific subsets of the population.

Yes...
Its a tricky one. I have no doubt he is ill.
But at the same time you just know if he does get off easy due to this he'll be laughing about it, he's aware enough of his state to exploit it.

I saw speculation on Reddit that they may have been Trump supporters who realized they were misled, but that seems baseless.

Jihadists flood pro-Trump social network with propaganda

QuoteJust weeks after its launch, the pro-Trump social network GETTR is inundated with terrorist propaganda spread by supporters of Islamic State, according to a POLITICO review of online activity on the fledgling platform.

The social network — started a month ago by members of former President Donald Trump's inner circle — features reams of jihadi-related material, including graphic videos of beheadings, viral memes that promote violence against the West and even memes of a militant executing Trump in an orange jumpsuit similar to those used in Guantanamo Bay.

The rapid proliferation of such material is placing GETTR in the awkward position of providing a safe haven for jihadi extremists online as it attempts to establish itself as a free speech MAGA-alternative to sites like Facebook and Twitter.

Maybe trumpists and jihadists will finally admit their love for each other. :ph34r:

They have a lot in common, from attachment to religion, hatred of LGTBQ+, rejecting modernity, being in favour of overthrowing the US government, wanting to control women, and hating America.

But besides attachment to religion, hatred of LGTBQ+, rejecting modernity, being in favour of overthrowing the US government, wanting to control women, and hating America, what have the MAGAts ever done for us?

 :lol: yeah that's the amusing thing in the Hungarian far-right's anti-Muslim stance, which was that they are all islamist fanatics - apart from opinion on alcohol they seem to be having a perfectly matching worldview with islamists so where is the problem?

Josquius

The white far right and the Islamic far rights incestuous relationship is well known. Not only do they have a lot in common but they absolutely love when the other makes the press as it really helps their recruitment.

Then there's Missouri keeping the wrongly convicted in prison: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/why-are-wrongly-convicted-people-still-imprisoned-in-missouri/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab7e&linkId=124619844

Those are exactly the kinds of situations for which pardons were created.  Unfortunately, the pardon power cannot correct injustice if the wielder is a partisan hack more concerned for his image amongst his voters than for justice.

A partisan hack you say? Well, I never...
