Political Irony

It’s enough to make you feel sorry for them. Not!

Federico Guillermo Klein, a former Trump appointee who was arrested for his role in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, complained that he won’t be able to sleep in prison, the Washington Post reports.

Why can’t Klein sleep? Is it because he feels bad that as a White House employee he stormed the US Capitol, assaulted Capitol Police, and beat one of them with a riot shield? No.

I wonder if there’s a place where I can stay in detention where I don’t have cockroaches crawling over me while I attempt to sleep… I mean, I really haven’t slept all that much, your honor. It would be nice if I could sleep in a place where there were not cockroaches everywhere.

I’m sure there are some cages formerly used along our southern border to hold children seeking asylum that would be available now for him.

In related news, the “QAnon Shaman” (the guy wearing face paint and horns) is complaining because the jail where he is being held is violating his religious rights by not providing him with organic food, which he requires as part of his “shamanic belief system and way of life”.

But wait, there’s more! Jenny Cudd is awaiting trial for her role in the Capitol riot, but that didn’t stop her from requesting permission from the judge to take a four-day holiday to Mexico’s Caribbean coast for a “work-related bonding retreat” with her colleagues and their spouses.

Cudd is a florist who was once a candidate for mayor of Midland, Texas. She said the trip was prepaid and planned before the Capitol riot. Hopefully she won’t have to deal with any cucarachas there.
