Trump supporter who threatened Pelosi goes down in flames after telling judge he was just having fun

A judge leveled a Donald Trump supporter who allegedly brought guns to Washington, D.C., and threatened to kill House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

Cleveland Meredith made threats against specific elected officials online and drove from Colorado with a Glock 19, 9mm pistol, Taver X95 rifle with a telescopic sight, high-capacity magazines and more than 2,500 rounds of ammunition, but arrived too late to take part in the Jan. 6 insurrection, according to charging documents flagged by Buzzfeed's Zoe Tillman.

"Hauling ass, 3.5 hours from target practice," he said in one message, according to prosecutors. "Ready to remove several craniums from shoulders. I'm gonna collect a sh*t ton of Traitors heads."

Meredith's lawyers argued Wednesday at a detention hearing that he was just joking -- "LOL, I'm just having fun," he wrote at one point -- but Judge Amy Berman Jackson wasn't amused.

9. I'm convinced that the minute these nuts aimed black guns at the Bundy stand-off years ago

Had they had been lit up and had the shit shot out of them, we would have never got here.

It empowered them.

I’m don’t doubt something like that will happen in Joe’s first term. I hope they get the shit shot out of them if it does.

It’s like Washington’s whiskey rebellion where several leaders were hanged. It was not too popular with the westerners at the time. But it showed the strength of the federal government and that we make our decisions at the ballot box. Violently rebel against the government you end up dead.

I’m not in favor of the death penalty, but in favor of shooting violent traitors pointing guns at federal agents.

10. "Aw, ah was just a funnin', Yeronner!! Cain't nobody here take a joke??!!"

Yeah, Cletus, fucking hilarious.

Oh, and he got Amy Berman Jackson as his judge, which is pretty much boxcars when you're playing stupid craps, as this asscanoe was.

Buh-bye.

13. If he wants to kill traitors, he should shoot himself.

Asshole.

14. Anyone else concerned about the pinpoint pupils?

One of the most likely reasons someone might have pinpoint pupils is the use of narcotic pain medications and other drugs in the opioid family, such as:
codeine.
fentanyl.
hydrocodone.
oxycodone.
morphine.
methadone.
heroin.

There's gotta be a shitload of arrestees who had to detox the hard way while held in jail.
