Friday at 07:33 PM3 days 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!

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.
Yesterday at 04:16 PM1 day Author Mitch Staff says he was in the hospital due to a fall. I think it was more than gravity that caused said fall, maybe a Biden tripping hazard jumped in front of him. Here's him a year ago.And here's him yesterday. Spittin' image of a robustly healthy dude? Is she holding him up? I like the proof of life newspaper, nice touch. Weekend at Bernie's!

I see it in every aspect of life - refusal to even consider someone in a younger generation may actually know more/be better qualified in a specific role, job, etc. Politics at all levels is a primary example.
