I'm sure that trash will rip through it on stupid s*&^ like boats, houses and booze and will be back in the news a year or two from now broke and whining again to try and get round two funding from their dead trash daughter.

You are an absolute ghoul.

She was trying to break into the area holding the US House and Senate and VP during a violent insurrection.

George Floyd was on the damn ground and secured, posing no threat to anyone.

WTF is wrong with you?

family should get 50 million and the cop who shot her should get life.

The daughter-boning------------- killed Ashli Babbitt so he should be the one paying.

I mean she was only trying to kill members of Congress and the VP. Is that really a crime if its in the name of Donald Trump?

(This is how dumb you sound)

Lt. Michael Byrd is a national hero.

THAT is a signal to all Trumpers that violence and insurrection PAYS and pays well.

Gracie, a new low, even for you. You have now reached elevator level B-2, here is LFTHNDTURDS/GOAT, FORTFISHER, SHRIMPTACODAN, and FORTFISHER to welcome you.

Of course, a worthless pile s^%* like you would think this.

You probably think you're a "patriot" too.

#13 | Posted by jpw at 2025-05-19 08:55 PM

Democrats still smugly claim violence is only bad if it is carried out by anyone except their leftist tribe.

#14 | Posted by Robson at 2025-05-19 09:06 PM

#14 It's 'mostly peaceful' when they do it.

#15 | Posted by gracieamazed at 2025-05-19 09:13 PM

Hey JPW, do you charge tariffs when you do Mexican truck drivers?

#16 | Posted by fortfisher at 2025-05-19 09:37 PM

If ya'll's President Traitor Trump would have just conceded the Election like a MAN... like his Romanian Pres Candidate and Trump Imitator did this last weekend, she and several other people would still be alive.

But as it turns out, the Romanians have a stronger democracy than we do. Thanks, Trumpers!

She was breaking into the Capitol. Her estate doesn't deserve a damn dime. She should've been charged with a crime posthumously.

Ashli Babbit had a knife.

Good for the Babbits. Now put that killer cop in prison.

They don't care about that. They are supporters of the insurrection. It's painfully obvious to me.

#22 | Posted by LauraMohr at 2025-05-20 12:27 PM

Giving aid and comfort to an insurrectionist bars you from the office of the presidency according to the 14th amendment.

The constitution died when trump wasn't prosecuted.

Or you should finally admit you're a f*&^ing terard and just STFU.

#24 | Posted by jpw at 2025-05-20 01:04 PM

Whether she had a knife or not isn't germane to the outcome.

She was part of a mob breaking through a protective barrier during a riot.

She got the inevitable outcome of her stupidity.

I suggest a few of our MAGA morons here go try breaking through a security checkpoint in a courthouse or something. Make sure to do it right and refuse to stop when told to. Ask your families to post your obits here afterwards so we can laugh at you.

#25 | Posted by jpw at 2025-05-20 01:05 PM

jpw aint wrong.

#26 | Posted by Alexandrite at 2025-05-20 01:06 PM

Anything short of sainthood is unacceptable.

One shot for Saint Ashli Babbitt!

This bullet-eating twunt has been sober for almost 4 1/2 years. Congrats.

#29 | Posted by reinheitsgebot at 2025-05-20 01:35 PM

After receiving this ill-gotten windfall, all paid for by the hard-working American taxpayer, the Babbitt family and the MAGA cult will demand a memorial or a statue for the fallen martyr: media.npr.org

#30 | Posted by C0RI0LANUS at 2025-05-20 02:15 PM

#28 this stupid pile of s%#^ has to make stuff up.

A normal person would realize they should STFU.

Got evidence to back up that accusation, or is it just more of the useless drivel your current alias posts?

#32 | Posted by LampLighter at 2025-05-20 08:12 PM

We know Trump didn't pay the family of the horsey faced domestic terrorist out of his own pocket.

#33 | Posted by a_monson at 2025-05-20 11:56 PM

" It's 'mostly peaceful' when they do it."

What a riot.

Literally.

The BLM protests were "mostly peaceful", because 91% of over 10,000 gatherings had ZERO violent incidents.

Using that EXACT BAROMETER, J6 was 100% violent.

Fortunately she doesn't get to enjoy any of it.

SHE is dead.

And her "estate" had better get to work and spend it all in the next four years or it will be "clawed back" by the next administration.

"Owning the libs" is an irrational policy that will not end well for Trumpy and the maga maroons.

You mean like Democratic congresswoman LaMonica McIver? Do the same to her that they did to the J-6ers. Throw her fat ass in jail and then give her a pardon after 4 years.

#36 | Posted by fishpaw at 2025-05-21 11:43 AM

Did Doge take the day off? I mean, there is no way they can think giving 5 million to the family of a domestic terrorist is a good idea.

Are school districts now going to have to compensate the families of school shooters?

What is the dumb world we are in? It can't be real.

#37 | Posted by Imshakinitboss at 2025-05-21 12:28 PM

Reminder Babbitt was shot while climbing through a smashed door into the speaker's lobby where several congresspeople were trapped. The trapped congresspeople were literally a few feet away from her. She was repeatedly warned to NOT enter the lobby. This all happened during a violent assault on the capitol.

Her family was given millions of dollars.

#38 | Posted by truthhurts at 2025-05-21 01:03 PM

I'm good with the deceased family of the protesting vet seeing money from killer corrupt partisans and democrats. The scum public servant killed her for politics but no credible reason. Many believe "They" needed to see a hang mans noose.

#39 | Posted by Robson at 2025-05-21 06:00 PM

36 . I agree 100% and I gave your post a Newsworthy. But since I'm not a rabid left wing partisan hack and am in fact a long term libertarian and independent thinker since Obama my opinion is evaporated on this site.

But I do appreciate the general lack of censorship by Roger's but sick of lying Democrats and NGOs wasting our taxes and giving us criminal trash.

You really think you can jedi mind trick the world into totally rewriting Jan 6. You can't excuse it. You didn't reject the leader that caused it. So your only recourse is to say no one saw what they saw.

Just because your donkey brain falls for mind control like that doesn't mean it works on the rest of us.
