(CNN)The Justice Department is asking for the so-called QAnon Shaman, who wore a headdress and posed shirtless on the Senate floor during the siege of the US Capitol, to be sentenced to a prison term of more than four years, the longest incarceration prosecutors have asked for any guilty January 6 defendant so far, according to a new court filing.
Prosecutors' request for the high-profile Capitol riot defendant Jacob Chansley is as a harsh assessment of his crime and calls him "quite literally, their flagbearer" among the mob on January 6.

Perhaps this is the dawning of a new age where abject stupidity does have consequences.

Combine this with the judges ruling that Trump DOES NOT HAVE EXECUTIVE POWER to stop handing over documents to the Congressional committee.
These two things should make TFG the Orange Buffon pucker a little.

Hell, let's make it a family affair. Then they can all sit around the one no-gold toilet and commiserate.

Why would the flag bearer not get ten years?
Oh, right, they charged him with parading, not INSURRECTION!
