He is a reprehensible little POS. He believes he’s ‘entitled’ to take what he wants whenever he wants because of the miniscule amount of taxes he’s paid in his lifetime…and then he rails against liberalism and socialism and Trump is his ‘hero’. He hides behind his ‘Christianity’ without having a single clue what it actually is. The same goes with the Constitution. He needs to actually READ them. He needs to read ALL the words but then…he would be shown up for the fraud he is. This is the district of Cathy McMorris Rodgers and even SHE can’t stand him…

Looks like a pretty wholesome kind of white, right wing Repulican authoritarian who loves Jesus?
He should star in his own biopic.

" document he wrote called “Biblical Basis for War,” which calls for “killing all males” who do not adhere to a theocratic style of Christian government."

He and his people are waiting for the next Cascadia fault quake to establish theocracies, take other people’s stuff, and kill males who do not submit.

" I’m a rock-hard independent who’s a bad guy with guns and anger and hates gubmint.
This does not prevent me from taking my paycheck from you, stupid tax-payer, and enjoying better health-care and pension priviliges than you’ll ever see."

Tough guy who has seat warmers in his SUV.

He shared police plans with the Malheur occupiers, thereby endangering the officers who may have had to go in there to root out the traitorous bastards. That’s bad enough, it’s a violation of his oath of office and he should be immediately expelled from office.

That region of the country, along the western Idaho border, is one of the worst in the nation in terms of white supremacists and crackpot religious beliefs of world domination. It’s maybe even worse than the racists in the South, because those folks also believe that they have the right to shoot anyone they want to. It’s way past time to clean out the pond scum up there, it’s a festering wound that is going to explode into even worse terrorism than we have already seen.

So Shea “specifically to support armed insurrections at both locations in furtherance of his Patriot Movement agenda.”
Is a Patriot movement when his made up homeland has no running water or toilets so they expel their fecal waste in the woods?

Shea, the report found, “participated in at least four planning meetings with co-conspirators in advance of the takeover” and “developed and circulated military-style Operations Orders that laid out detailed plans to supply and support the armed siege.

Shea was a key organizer in these events, the report found, posting calls for militia affiliates and other right-wing groups to join the stand-offs and providing logistical support himself.

If I remember my standoffs against the government correctly didn’t boobs at Malheur run out food and supplies? As a Cap’t in the Army wasn’t he taught:
Proper Planning and Practice Prevents Piss Poor Performance. Prior Proper Planning Prevents Painfully Poor Production.

He calls for violence against political opponents, against non-Christians, against journalists . . . and then he whines about not getting ‘due process.’ In these ways, he’s solidly Republican

As a resident of the state of Washington, my tax dollars paid for Shea’s salary. Asking him to resign is not enough because he won’t. He needs to be expelled. He is a white separatist/anarchist.

That boy rose so high and climbed so quickly in Republican circles by scrambling a portion of his own brain and having it for breakfast every morning…
