So we are about a week, two maybe, from Trump pleading with his supporters to go out and kill Democrats, aren’t we? I don’t mean hints, I mean directly asking for all Dems to be killed.

It’s a hell of a lot more dangerous for the MAGAts who are breathing all over each other. Let’s hope the heavy breathers propel some aerosolized droplets forward, towards the stage.

I’m not opposed to assisted suicide, but I do fervently hope that no innocents are exposed to your cult of personality post-infection.

We can only hope that the majority of Americans, those not in the Trump Cult, are paying attention to what is spewing from his mouth. And do whatever it takes to get to a polling station or send in their ballots early to get this walking cancer removed from office. Our very existence depends on it

He’s going to create more Timothy McVeighs. The Dems could use Trump’s words and images of what McVeigh did, and ask “is this what you really want?”

DeSantis already beat Trump to the punch

We’ve got weeks to go and it will get worse.

Because of the lack of consequences. Cowards do that.

This is another case of some idiot republican "proposing "something, and everyone in the media treats it like its already done and implemented.

DeSantis is trying to distract, and is of course following after his puppetmaster, Donald.

None of what he is proposing will become law, its extremely doubtful any of it even makes it into an actual bill that sees the floor.

Florida’s next legislature session is going to be consumed with deep, deep budget cuts that are going to be extremely unpopular with everyone, right or left. And all of that is going to be pointed right back to bozo here and his horrible handling of the pandemic. DeSantis is going to be a one term governor, and he knows it.

Another Trump super spreader event. Wonder how many of his fans were paid to be there?

Good summation of what went down and what will go down
He won through years of systematic voter suppression that rendered him the winner by .04%
Had it been Gwen Graham he would have lost

My gym has Fox on in front of the treadmills so I get a huge dose of “The 5” every afternoon. It should actually be called “The 4 versus1” since it’s basically just 4 conservative white folks whitesplaining politics to Juan Williams.
It is amazing to watch them attack the right to assemble every day. The argument they are making is that protest organizers can’t control the Antifasocialistthugs and therefore protest are dangerous and just part of cancel culture. These folks would have been praising King George, rooting for the British soldiers during the Boston massacre, and calling for the death penalty for the founding fathers after the Boston tea party.

Yet another terrorist threat from Trump. He’s already killed over 200,000 from negligence, why he bothers threatening their lives through violence is beyond me when he can just do what he’s been doing and kill far more far easier.

Dems need to step up their game with candidates in FL. Anything would have been better than Desantis - the only person who can out douchebag Rubio - but our 2018 candidate was a train wreck waiting to happen.

I don’t know if this is brilliant electoral tactics, but y’know whatever, a weird thing happened one time in 2016 therefore lol nothing matters

From “stand your ground” to “run ‘em down” turns out to be a fairly short step. Imagine my shock and surprise.

OT: Barr getting this award is sickening. This cements why I left the church years ago.

The National Catholic Prayer Breakfast will present an award to Attorney General Barr for “Christlike behavior” tomorrow morning. A.G. Barr has ordered the executions of six men with at least one more on the calendar. What is “Christlike” about using discretionary power to kill?

Dallas Frazier, who repeatedly punched an anti-Trump protester multiple times outside a Trump rally in 2019, was sentenced to four months in prison earlier this year. But others who’ve attacked protesters haven’t faced penalties at all.

VIOLENT, WHITE CONSERVATIVES ARE A PROTECTED CLASS.
