Just…. A truth bomb about the border. We all need to be alarmed regardless of Dem or Rep.

So he’s using the same “reasoning” as schools use when they set dress codes for girls. And as people defending a sexual assault perpetrator.

I wonder if MAGAts actually understand the word “existential”? Kind of a big word for many of them.

So by your same logic Witmner was only the victim of a “kidnapping Concept” perpetrated by agents and human assets of the FBI.

Can you attempt rhetoric like what you use maybe leading to people developing a “concept” of a murder?

And I thought you said the right wingers are the violent killers ones.

Nicely done, if missing the point completely was your intention.

Maybe JD could toddle over to Springfield and help out. Isn't that what Senators are supposed to do when they're constituents are in need?

They'd be so thrilled to see him.

“Senator Vance, do you know the truth?”

“No, but hum a few bars and I’ll fake it.”

Republicans: “How dare they call us fascists and bigots! That sort of rhetoric will only lead to violence!”

Also Republicans: “Democrats are communists who hate Jesus and ‘Murica who want to make you a slave to Big Socialist Government and molest and mutilate your children!”

This is why I'm suspicious about the supposed "assassination attempt". The quickness with which these assholes starting carting out these talking points to try to muzzle legitimate criticism of Trump made my head spin. From now on, I'm going to think of Trump as "the boy who cried assassination attempt".

The violence is coming folks - if you are reading this right now the GOP intends to do whatever level of violence required to seize power.

I crap myself laughing at ppl who think "voting" will matter to prevent upcoming election violence. I'm so tired of trying to convince my ppl that while you should vote (plz do vote, get registered to vote, yes it is important) that is not dispositive of goddamn motherfucking shit anymore. Most Americans don't seem to get that. You are already living in a banana republic folks, wake the fuck up and realize that despite what your average liberal will tell you about how "violence is bad", violence is actually required sometimes. You have country with state sponsered violence - what happens when the state comes for you?

As a hated marijuana grower through the 70's, 80's, 90's, 20's - let me tell you, I know how to respond to state sponsored violence.

So few ppl understand the monster that is coming to eat them, despite their votes, despite their good wishes, despite their beloved dogs and kitties.

Getting tired of ringing the bell.
