How the fuck is anyone associated with Jan 6th not banned from holding any government job?
He was convicted and along with jail sentences, bans from all government institutions should have been included.
…same goes for the shitty orange man once he’s convicted.
Edit: a word
As a convicted felon, he’s barred from voting, but he can still run for office. FFS
That part is confusing AF. Like, he’s lost his right to chose government officials but still has the right to become one? What the actual fuck?!
Because there wasn't a law in place and you don't get to make laws retroactively.
A better question might be, how do we address this sort of thing moving forward?
Insurrection act?
That's the 14th Amendment and only applies to people who took an oath.
"No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability."
John Q. Asshole can't be held accountable under this provision. We gotta play by the rules and the bullies don't. Sucks, but here we are.

Murrika.
As a felony convict, Chansley can run but not vote in the election.
And this is all you need to know about American politics to understand why America is a fucking joke.
How can someone who commits treason and joins an insurrection swear an oath to the constitution?
Was he convicted of Treason anywhere? That should answer your question.
Wasn’t this the same traitor who complained about prison food being non-organic or something?
It gets boring how the show runners come up with ideas that are crazier and crazier just to keep the people interested. They should just make the show end with a decent finale.
I get why this newsworthy, but can we not give this idiot our attention?
There aren't 27 months between Nov. 2021 and March 2023. Unless they're saying he was incarcerated earlier and that time served was credited against his sentence... Poorly written regardless.
Why does it look like he's nutting in this photo?
