* Cowboys for Trump' founder and Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin demands release from federal custody.

* He was arrested related to storming the Capitol and that day posted videos threatening lawmakers.

* In one video, Griffin claimed rioters would return on January 20, and "blood will run out of the building."

"Cowboys for Trump" founder and Otero County Commissioner Couy Griffin is asking to be released from isolation in federal custody. He was placed in isolation after refusing both a COVID-19 test and to show up to his first hearing, according to court documents.

Last week, Griffin was arrested by US Capitol Police in Washington, DC, and charged with "knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority" and "intent to impede or disrupt the orderly conduct of Government business."

According to documents, Griffin's lawyer filed a motion for his client's release, saying that he was struggling in isolation. In response, the judge said that "simply taking a COVID-19 test, something hundreds of millions of people have safely done across the world, will allow the defendant to exit isolation."

The judge also added that Griffin must show up to a hearing on February 1 or remain in detention and that he could be held in contempt.

1. "Demands release from federal custody". These people truly have been living

In their own separate world where the law clearly doesn’t apply to them. They feel so privileged that they can make these sort of demands. And then refusing to get something as basic as a COVID test in a setting where it is imperative that it gets done? Guaranteed he will get TB tested as well. Bet he didn’t have a tantrum over that. SMDH. These people can suck it.

2. he'll do solitary over taking a test

that is some serious, hardcore stubborness there.

As I read this article, I had to wonder how people's belief systems can get so messed up by listening to (I assume) a president that most of the world laughed at.

3. And then cry to his lawyer to have him released.

Seriously, he just needs to STFU and learn to live with the consequences of his poor decisions.

4. So, which "freedom" is having a C-19 test impinging upon?

Or is the whiny faux-cowboy snowflake just having a tantrum because he's being deprived of sleeping under the stars on the lone prairie with his favorite horsie and blankie?

5. I guess Otero County is in New Mexico.

Poorly written.

6. I think I'm having a schadenfreude overdose on this one....

...and the asshole who put his boots on Pelosi's desk, too.

Lock them up, and they cry like little girls.
