    Hmm, using threats of terrorism to terrorize on behalf of a Legally declared Insurrectionist. I think there is something someone is supposed to do about those things. Next, how the death threats in Colorado are bad for Biden.

    Is this supposed to be a surprise or something? Trump supporters are brain dead bully’s who will do anything to get their way. Not saying it’s ok, just that everyone should expect shit like this from these morons at this point.

          I wish the factions could sit down together and figure this shit out, because the one thing we all have in common is that none of us are happy with the way things are.

            Problem is, we are unhappy about different parts of the way things are, and even worse, the same parts in opposite directions.

              The actual problem is the right wing’s inability to compromise because of the religious core of the GOP. This is why Republicans block anything from getting through Congress and waste time doing shit like slow walking the Hunter Biden case because they can’t get anything on the actual POTUS.

                Agreed. I was just pointing out that even giving them the benefit of the doubt (which you are right, we shouldn’t) it is Still not as simple as just finding commonalities - many things we think are good they directly consider bad and vice versa.

        Trying to imagine what that would look like. National guard squaring off against militias? Does the US military break apart? Big jump in bombings?

            Maybe not lone-wolf, but yes. It’ll look more like The Troubles, than any war we’ve seen. Neighbor on neighbor,

          Texas LEOs traveling to Oregon to arrest doctors for treating trans kids and getting fucking wrecked by socialists with guns would be a civil war I could get behind

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Justices on the Colorado supreme court are receiving a barrage of death threats after it ruled to exclude Donald Trump from the state’s presidential ballot next year because of his attempts to cause insurrection.

    A report compiled by Advance Democracy, a non-partisan non-profit organization, said there was “significant violent rhetoric” against the justices and Democrats on social media, according to NBC News.

    Another post on The Donald, a pro-Trump forum where a Trump supporter once publicly bragged about his involvement with the January 6 insurrection and was arrested as a result, said “this ends when we kill these fuckers”.

    “The normalization of this type of violent rhetoric – and lack of remedial action by social media entities – is cause for significant concern,” Daniel J Jones, president of Advance Democracy, told NBC News.

    Trump’s lawyers in his fraud trial argued that the former president, who faces 91 criminal charges and is an adjudicated rapist, has no control over those who levy violent threats.

    Senator Chris Coons of Delaware, a close ally of Biden, called it “striking” and said it is “undeniable in my view that [Trump] participated in an insurrection and as such should be disqualified from holding federal office.”
