Just last week I was talking to a service rep in California. I asked her about Newsom’s situation regarding his recall. She said the idiots doing it are loudmouths and stirring up BS. Reading this story it seems like idiocy is contagious in California and needs to be reigned in fast.

Zapata said he wasn’t making a threat, but then added: “Good citizens are going to turn to real concerned and revolutionary citizens real soon.”

The former is not supported by the latter.

Where was Zapata on January 6th? because if he wasn’t at the party in D.C. doesn’t that kinda make him a poser?

Unfortunately, this is where things could “blow up real good”.

The longer these buffoons are coddled, the more likely it is that a smallish town will be the focal point of an actual armed insurrection. It won’t succeed, of course, but people could very well be killed “in the name of Trump” or whatever nonsense motivates them.

Neanderthals can cause a hell of a lot of damage (and deaths), if no one makes the effort to prevent them.

Naw, just that all the cops are the militia, so can’t be both on duty and attending the militia meeting.
