It's a very low bar.
I don't think he'll do more than a few months. A year tops.

The incoming administration will not want to create martyrs. These guys are very similar to antifa except for one very significant detail: There are whole lot more where those came from, and the really competent ones stayed home on Jan 6. Best if they continue to stay home...
Perhaps the nation's angst can be settled down if the new guy treads lightly.

Some good footage that gives context to the photos in the Senate of the ex mil. Pilot.
This video will definitely benefit him in court. He is actually one of the more level headed sounding people in there.

They are not in the morality adjudication business, they don't want to be, nor should they be. By the standards assumed when "good moral character" was written into the regs homosexuality, swinging, adultery, perhaps extra-marital sex, and some religions would be grounds for revocation. Some FSDO's would be more strict than others.
Best to just leave it with felony conviction, since nobody can really argue with that.

Is appeasement what settled those protests/riots?

We have 330 million people in this country and over 400 million firearms. Any rational politician knows he/she ought to be working on getting things done that unite us rather than divide us.
Unfortunately rational politicians from either major party seem to be a little sparse on the ground right now.

Back on track now, we're not debating the relative merits of the various extremist groups, for purposes of this conversation we're going to assume they're all the same, ie if you're an airline pilot who is caught rioting and looting the consequences will be same regardless of your underlying ideology.
