Re: Proud Boys
HMMM: Prosecutors asked for another four-month delay in sentencing Jan. 6 defendant Jeffrey Finley, a West Va. Proud Boy leader who has agreed to cooperate with invetigators.
Judge Chutkan doesn't like it though and wants more details on justification for delay.

Re: Proud Boys
Not great, I get what they are going for, but... I like Wonder Woman. I like buff bears (hey, what can I say?) I kinda like buff guys dressing up as Wonder Woman, it's actually pretty hawt. Which the Proud Boys are most definitively not. Also, the Proud Boys would a) never be cool enough to do this, and b) never be cool enough to pull it off the way these guys are. Anyway, thumbs down for me.

Re: Proud Boys
Good morning. Will be keeping an eye on this at 11.
Hmmm. Proud Boy Joshua Pruitt is scheduled to be sentenced on Friday, but Judge Kelly just ordered a status conference in the case for tomorrow morning. What does it mean? We'll find out, I suppose.
Edit:
Judge Kelly says there are two issues he wants to discuss. The first is he needs to bump Josh Pruitt's sentencing to Monday. Hearing reset for 10 a.m. Monday.

Re: Proud Boys
Still not seeing confirmation from legit news outlets (and for this discussion only, I'd include Fox in that list). It's now about 14 hours after the fact, and there ought to be some sort of external confirmation, not just from people claiming to be McInnes's buddies.
This article from a legit political blog lists the concerns that keep me from believing this story yet. I'd continue to tread carefully on this until we get better quality confirmation. I'd certainly like it to be true, but my Spidey-sense is tingling a little bit.

McInnes is of course known for his truthfulness.

Re: Proud Boys
So maybe a publicity stunt or maybe a cover for him deciding it's time to disappear????

Then they raided Mar-A-Lago, and still I was silent for I still could not breathe.
Then they came for Gavin McInnes, and I tore an abdominal muscle laughing and it really really hurt

Re: Proud Boys
My favorite in that thread there is his realization that if Gavin is found guilty of anything, he could (as he holds dual Canadian-British citizenship, I am told, but not USAdian) be deported.
And I admit, the idea of a Proud Boy of his stature being chucked out of this country made me laugh so hard I couldn't finish my breakfast for fear of choking.

I don’t know much about McGinnis but it sounds like bullshitting to me. The modulation of his voice, the lack of tension. This didn’t happen.

Re: Proud Boys
ALERT: Nicholas Ochs is pleading guilty in Jan 6 case. Justice Dept has called Ochs the "leader & founder of a Hawaii chapter of the Proud Boys”
Co-defendant Nick DeCarlo is also pleading guilty. Both were accused of being in YouTube vid "Twas The Night Before REVOLUTION!!!!”
Re: Proud Boys
Appears Proud Boy Christopher Worrell's motivation to retain new counsel derived from, at least in part, his desire to pursue a new defense strategy. To wit: That Jan. 6 was a set-up.

Re: Proud Boys
Yeah, that's because Trump ordered TEN THOUSAND TROOPS to our nation's capital in the days before J6, which would have prevented any kind of violence, but NANCY PELOSI prevented them from arriving so the whole riot was HER FAULT. And this poor gentleman, who planned for days beforehand that he was going to storm the Capitol, wishes now that the 10,000 troops would have prevented him from getting anywhere near the place, but SHE PRACTICALLY INVITED HIM to enter the Capitol because she didn't let those troops stop him.
Sure, that's proof of a gigantic conspiracy, and we should spend a couple years investigating.

Edit: And by the way, LAST WEEK Mark Zuckerberg came to visit me in the White House Leghorn Acres to kiss my ass! He told me, "Foggy, your website is the greatest and best community ever in the history of the world! You should post more on Faceplant!"
I told him "Shut up, punk, you're wearing shoes in my bedroom like a common FBI agent."
