On Wednesday, NBC4 Washington's Scott MacFarlane reported that Pauline Bauer, a so-called "sovereign citizen" who was jailed ahead of trial for her involvement in the January 6 Capitol insurrection, is now seeking for an appeals court to release her from pre-trial detention.

Bauer, a pizzeria owner from Pennsylvania, is accused of shouting "Bring Nancy Pelosi out here now. We want to hang that f*cking b*tch. Bring her out," while forcing her way into the Capitol with the crowd. She was kept in prison after outbursts in court, proclaiming to the judge that the court has "no dominion over a living soul," and that "I have a right to my self-determination!" She has also delivered lengthy, typo-ridden manifestos to the court proclaiming she had a right to be in the Capitol, and has called searches of her home "illegal."

Now, she is taking a different strategy: telling the court that she was under stress when she did all those things.

Well Pauline can I call you Pauline you were not under stress when you sat at home and made a fucking decision to go and try and over throw a duly elected government and now your whining that your were under stress...maybe you and others of your ilfk should have this law thrown into your face and then lets hear you whine about stress.......I think you should be locked up for 10 fucking years....

Threatening government officials of the United States is a felony under federal law. ... Threatening other officials is a Class D or C felony, usually carrying maximum penalties of 5 or 10 years under 18 U.S.C. § 875, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and other statutes, that is investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation

1. "Sovereign Citizen" is the new euphemism for "Flaming Asshole"

[turbinetree]

2. Whining Assholes....

[calimary]

32. Whining assholes, Flaming assholes. No difference.

Don’t care. Either way they’re justifiably and DESERVEDLY fucked.

[Zambero]

6. It results from demanding absolute freedom with zero accountability

For some if not most subjects, this unfortunate transformation to a certified F.A. occurs early in life, making itself known on a near-constant basis thereafter. The most notable characteristic is the inability to progress beyond adolescent behavior, punctuated by frequent temper tantrums amid constant claims of victimhood.

[Justice matters.]

10. That's why they so lovvvvvvvvvvvvve their orange terrorist.

They see him getting away with all his childish tantrums, teenage shenanigans, and cons, without ever getting held accountable for all his crimes, one after the next.

They wish they were as privileged as he is (so far)...

[Evolve Dammit]

26. Exactly right. That's the attraction and role model/ mentor role he has played. Carnival barker.

[Kablooie]

24. It's also a euphemism for a bag of hammers.

[Javaman]

40. I prefer fucking crazy asshole nt

[Zambero]

3. Oh Dear!

Once Sovereign Citizen realized that she had become a Sovereign Criminal, the self-imposed predicament of facing actual consequences for an unforced decision became too much to bear.

[marble falls]

4. She'll have time in the joint to take classes in stress reduction and anger management.

[samnsara]

5. just lock her up and get it over with

[Johnny2X2X]

7. She deserves years!

Still waiting for some of the worst of these terrorists to be mad an example of. Something like 8 years would send a message.

[AllaN01Bear]

8. how many of u on here remember ," the devil made me do it?

nonsensical.

[niyad]

20. Me.

[KS Toronado]

23. Heaven forbid! The devil has infiltrated the "Religious Right"?

The only party that possesses empathy & morals to do the right thing?
Believe he's had a firm grasp on repugs for years now.

[Baitball Blogger]

9. You should never create more stress than you can handle.

[yardwork]

30. I'm stealing that!

[no_hypocrisy]

11. Is that the best her attorney could come up with?

[jmowreader]

19. I'd be surprised if she had one

Besides all their antigovernment dogma, the thing sovereign citizens are most famous for is pro se representation in court.

[Ilsa]

12. Next time the Capitol Police should gas them with ganja smoke.

It might relieve a lot of stress they feel.

And have some Doritoes, etc ready, so they won't break apart the vending machines.

[Walleye]

29. ☝️👍

[LakeArenal]

13. Her stress? On that day, the whole Capital was stressed by her stress.

You don’t die from stress.
You die by people who shout “Kill her”!

[PatSeg]

14. Just imagine the "stress" the judge was dealing with

when he had to listen to her ridiculous crap. What a truly lame and entitled excuse for bad behavior, behavior that happens to also be illegal.

[twodogsbarking]

15. Clearly it was an overdose of pizza sauce.

[justgamma]

33. Maybe she ate too many twinkies. n/t

[aeromanKC]

16. The Capital Insurrectionists have learned that they can lie to the Judge to get leniency

I had a brain fart, I'll never do it again, I've learned my lesson, I was duped, I have seen the light, blah blah blah

[Sherman A1]

17. So if this Wingnut is a Sovereign Citizen and the Government has no authority over her

then what possible difference does it make to her as to who holds what office in Washington or anywhere else?

[inthewind21]

31. Bingo

They are a black hole of contradiction.

[70sEraVet]

18. Can they detain these assholes in Mar-a-Lago until trial?

Let Trump feed and house his 'very special' people, who he loves so much. But I do remember that as he watched his plan unfold, he expressed disappointment at how 'low class' they looked.
Well, let his 'very special', 'low class' people rub elbows with his high paying guests.

[DeeNice]

21. it would be awful if someone...

started a rumor about something heinous going on in the basement of her pizza joint.

[niyad]

22. Those domestic terrorists put the rest of us under a great deal of stress. So, by her

rationale, I should be able to find some of these domestic terrorists and beat the crap out of them? Perhaps starting with her? I am, after all, under stress?

[Ohio Joe]

25. 'Sovereign citizens' are taylor made to be TFG cultists

I've watched videos of them online for ages and they are idiots (do a youtube search, sometimes it's hilarious). Unfortunately, they can also be murderously dangerous idiots... Search google news for some examples of that.

Sheesh... Lock this dope up.

[maxsolomon]

27. Only A Pawn In Their Game

as Bob Dylan once sang.

[spudspud]

28. She was under stress?

Well why didn't you say so earlier lady! Sentence is time served in pretrial detention, 1 year probation, and 20 hours of community service. And don't do it again!

(I'm only half joking about the potential sentence unfortunately.)

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

34. We're all under stress now and then

It does not absolve this woman.

[ancianita]

35. LOL If the stress claim is supposed to excuse crimes, no one would be in prison.

Threatening other officials is a Class D or C felony, usually carrying maximum penalties of 5 or 10 years under 18 U.S.C. § 875, 18 U.S.C. § 876 and other statutes, that is investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation

How's THAT for stress.

[dchill]

36. Stress came later.

[Trueblue1968]

37. if i was a jusge, i'd give her 5 years in the slammer

[Bluethroughu]

38. Lock her up.

These people would have hung in the town square if it had been 100 years ago. I wouldn't want that, but lots of prison time sounds fair.

They are domestic terrorists and should be labeled as such.

[BlueIdaho]

39. A nice long prison sentence

Would be an excellent way for her to practice patience, tolerance, and acceptance.

[TNNurse]

41. How many of us have been under tremendous stress and yet did none of these things???

[Ohioboy]

42. How many of us are under stress because of people like her?

[TNNurse]

43. Excellent point

[The Jungle 1]

44. It was treason and she should hang.
