The Karma wheel is rolling:

38-year-old Virginia Marie Spencer pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for her role in the riot at the Capitol building. She and her husband were accused of entering the building without permission.

The Winston-Salem Journal reports that Spencer made a virtual appearance Thursday at U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., where she entered a guilty plea on the charge.

Federal prosecutors are requesting that three other misdemeanor charges be dropped as part of a plea agreement, but she still faces up to a six-month prison sentence. Spencer must also pay a $500 restitution fine. She remains free until a sentencing hearing in January.

She should consider herself lucky. Very lucky.

Don't be daft. It wouldn't have been on the ballot if it weren't for the GOP Majority, brought to us by (wait for it) Gerrymandering.

Don't get mad, vote them out. Union County is blood red, so this shouldn't surprise anyone, especially those who live there.

In other words, a lot of people have died in NC that didn't have to. Thanks for nothin', NC GOP.

NC has levied millions in fines against assisted living centers in NC, but many have avoided paying anything at all. Join us for a conversation about how and why that’s happening across the state.#ncga #ncpolhttps://t.co/W7XZC8mgO0

I will probably be driving a forklift at that time, but maybe they will cache it so I can watch later.

Pope's puppets have pulled some questionable shit over the years, but formally challenging a teacher's association is out of control, even for them. Methinks this should be settled in court...

Oh, god. She'll probably want to chat with me if I go. Unless I'm in disguise (for some reason a Zorro mask just popped into my head, and now I can't stop laughing).

On that silly note, here's your Onion:
