Friday at 07:33 PM1 day After standing on the steps for approximately three minutes, Capitol Police arrested Air Force Maj Jason Watson under Washington, D.C., code 22-1307 Crowding, Obstructing and Incommoding because he was demonstrating on the steps without a member of Congress to accompany him.The best part..."Jessica Denson, founder of the Removal Coalition, was optimistic that after his arrest, Watson would be momentarily released from the courthouse, given that the D.C. attorney’s office dropped their charges against him. But that feeling was short-lived.“He was never released from custody, he was whisked away from the courthouse directly into Air Force custody,” Denson said." 🤣🤣🤣FAFO!

Yesterday at 12:09 AM1 day The worst part is everyone will probably have to do a new CBT annually because of this dude.

Rubio/DeSantis would be my favorite ticket but as we all know, Vance is the heir apparent...Even Buttigieg? The most normal of that lot.

My point is not about the man, his military affiliation, or his uniform, its about what he did/said and the resulting arrest.Clearly and I don't think the nuance is grasped by most. Protesting on the steps is prohibited...(odd given the 1st amendment, redressing your grievances with the government and a traditional public forum, but lawmakers pass whatever bullcrap they want to save themselves). There are two different issues here. First, the issue of breaking the law and protesting on the steps. That SHOULD be dealt with by the DC folks (but likely they will surrender jurisdiction to the military like most local governments do to save costs). Second, is a VERY clear violation of article 88. He is going to get bent over...I think he would justifiably by any administration but Pete rules with an iron fist and I would not be surprised if this dude gets some prison time, followed by reduction in rank, forfeiture of all pay and a dishonorable discharge.

Art 15 doesn't do jail. Dude wants Pete to overplay his hand... ammo for the counter attack. Best Pete can do, undue command influence and all, is push for Art 15.
