No incitement to violence there, especially not a gravestone with your opponent’s name on it.

And then they’ll be shocked, shocked!, when one of their followers takes it as a hint.

In light of the mass shooting, those tombstones are beyond tone deafness! It is disrespectful to the people who died from gun violence. Moreover, it is a grotesque and gruesome act considering MoscowMitch aka MassacreMitch has been blocking gun legislation in the senate!

Addendum:
Let’s talk about socialism
The real REPUBLICAN SOCIALISM!

The Red States who voted for Trump e.g. Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana - have exceptionally high poverty rates and thus receive large shares of federal dollars.

Remember in November 2020:

The Socialism Irony:
The Red States resent the Blue States
Despite the Blue States subsidizing the Red States
So who are the HYPOCRITES and REAL SOCIALISTS now?

Guess that means he won’t be acting on the senate bill banning assault weapons anytime soon. Forget about background checks.

Dear God…Moscow Mitch has been studying at the feet of the master…

(and it takes an especially warped sense of …uh…humor to mock Garland.)

Adding Merrick Garland’s name on a tombstone isn’t too smart since he is still serving as the Chief United States Circuit Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. This stunt tells me it’s personal, and not the “Biden Rule” as he has proclaimed. (yes I knew he was a liar the minute he opened his mouth, but to not even give Garland a hearing is shitty Mitchie)

No problem here. We already have it from the highest authorities in the GOP that “no politician is to blame” for the predictable consequences of their speech. That would be the act of a sick, sick person, a mentally ill monster, somebody we might be able to reach “If we are able to pass great legislation after all of these years.”

OT sorta … Speaking of political deaths, Rep. Ken Marchant ( R TX ) is calling it quits. Kim Olson, retired Air Force pilot who just ran for Texas Ag Commish, is a Dem running for that seat. We might flip that one, folks.

The stock market plummet today is worse than anything for these assholes. Worse than 30 deaths. The hold-your-nose Trump voters couldn’t give a damn about anything else.
