I spent four years carrying a rifle in the Army and never once heard the expression "draw one's rifle." I do not recall there having been holsters for our M-16A1's.

Despite their most fervent masturbatory fantasies, the MAGA crowd is not going to foist themselves off their couches and take to the streets when Trump finally gets what's coming to him.

hoist themselves no? unless they have some kind of winch on their couches.

which is not technically outside the realm of possibility.

And they won't turn to any of the also-rans eagerly waiting to scoop them up. They'll look at the debate stage line-up and think, "Not Trump."

I refuse to actually watch Trump talk, but in the linked article the screengrabs of his face were...bad. Like, even for him. Is he going to be okay?

Bad - compared to what?

You know how you can see a lump of dogshit on the sidewalk and it's absolutely disgusting--and then later on you see another where the dog clearly has some kind of issue?

It's a bit like that.

i am in no way concerned about Colton being "forced" to draw his gun. "look what you made me do?!" isn't the threat they think it is.

Hey Colton, as I recall, the last civil war didn’t work out too well for Georgia. So, go for it, dude.

"the one who is concern-trolling about how if we do not stop prosecuting Donald Trump, there’s gonna be a civil war."

Because up until now, they've been so bipartisan and reasonable, and not shouty or shooty or death threatsy at ALL.

Because in their dialect "winner" and "wiener" sound a lot alike?

This guy and all his co-defendants remind me of the “Sovereign Citizens” that spew bullshit at the cops, the judge, and the jury … all the way to jail.

If sovcits weren't so earnestly annoying, they'd be a hill of fun to watch.

I mean, their guiding tenet seems to be toddler-level "You're not the boss of me!"

.....and, like such toddlers, they need to be firmly reminded that "We ARE, in this case, the boss of you, and you WILL do as told, or the consequences will be unpleasant."

For real toddlers, said consequences include no dessert, going to bed early, and not being allowed to watch your favorite TV show or YouTube channel, or the like.

For sovcits, said consequences should include arrest and (ideally) conviction for whatever statute they abridged as part of asserting their boss-of-themselves-ness.

They're not being tried for speaking out against the election. They are being tried because they falsified documents on behalf of the state of Georgia saying that they were the duly chosen electors of the state (they were not) and then sent it to Congress.

They did the equivalent of forging the teacher's signature on a fake report card before bringing it home to the parents, only the parents already had a copy of the real report card. So now they're in trouble with both the parent and the teacher.

So your saying the First Amendment doesn’t protect forging signatures on report cards?

So he has to fight the devil in GA when the devil’s spawn was right there in the so-called War Room with him? Throwing your lot in with “Burn It Down” Bannon seems like another poor choice in what appears to be a very long string of poor choices. Threatening Fani Willis would be another.

“We’ve got 19 people who are facing the rest of their life in prison because they spoke out against an election?" No. They're being tried for their conduct. But you knew that.

The claim of persecution resonates very strongly with their supporters, notwithstanding the fact that it is in no way grounded in fact.

and it is the citizens of Fulton County they are trying to disenfranchise because they persist in voting for the wrong people. If you think MTG is the RIGHT people, you should not be allowed to play with sharp objects or matches
