I just have to randomly remark that that's kind of a dumb thing to say. The Dems have been, if anything, unusually tightly grouped over the last few years. They are outnumbered in the House, and not-super-majority in the Senate, so it's true they haven't been able to actually get much done, but they really haven't been that internally discordant.

Now, I'll grant you that damn near none of them are even marginally liberal (my senior Senator springs to mind), but that's not the same thing as circular firing squad.

If he had had his shit together, he'd have brought his Sovereign Citizen Statutory Attorney General papers with him before he started threatening to shoot them. Pretty sure that'd given him legal immunity, or something.

No, the pity is that when he's released from custody, he'll still have all the guns he wants. Yeah, that should work out great.

Just last week, a guy wrote a letter to our Pennsylvania dead-tree paper, complaining about taxes and saying how great he had it in Floriderp. I look at articles like this and just laugh and laugh.

This is business as usual in Miami. Notice that no one in the background had the slightest reaction to his rant until he mentioned shooting someone.

Between the pythons, the GOP and the Army Corps of Engineers, the Everglades is forever fucked.
