Two GOPers Lash Out At Notion That Ashli Babbitt Was A Martyr | Talking Points Memo

He’s not good at analogies. Remember the Skittles thing?

Yeah, the infection rate has increased five fold in OK in the last month. They aren’t in MO, FL, or AR territory yet. Those states are going to give them a good rendition of what to expect when the crisis comes to them.

I believe I’ve read that a British soldier did that.

If you read the Guardian, they’ll tell you it was all a ‘man of the people’ act.

I’ve never much liked calling women of the night whores.

Darwin Awards, by their very nature, are always bestowed posthumously.

What part of my post didn’t you understand?

Ashli Babbit, Wascilly Wabbit, attacked congress, but couldn’t hack it.

(I am unclean)

We’ve been hearing that for 4 years.

Also why ‘The Punisher’ was a guy named Frank Castle.

I do think the Kavanaugh confirmation debacle helped Trump cement his support among Republican partisans who were still skeptical of his commitment to the right wing agenda or who found him personally odious. Not backing down on someone who proved himself demonstrably un-judge-like in order to intensify red-blue tribal hatreds was smart politics for Trump and goes far to explain his successful takeover of the party. Democrats had no choice but to oppose boof Bret, he was and is clearly unqualified, but in retrospect the political fallout WAS disastrous for us and for the country.

Very nice.

In America, real leaders just drop the umbrella when they’re finished with it, and walk away. Same with people.

Ashli Battitt was in the process of a felonious act. Shooting her was justified.

[txlawyer]

Uh, you may not have noticed, but I described her as a terrorist and the shooting as righteous.

I’m very tired of the hypocrisy of the RWNJs saying that what we need is more guns and then getting their panties twisted when someone actually uses one to enforce the law.

So a good guy with a gun shoots a bad person with mayhem and murder in their heart … I guess I’m missing their point.

I do hope the tide that’s carried so many so far from the shores of reason and common sense is indeed beginning to turn. It’s not too soon, boy.

They’ve been caught in a riptide. The only way to get out is swim sideways out of the rip, and then come back to shore. Some are figuring it out. The rest are going to end up floaters.

Suicide by tourism.

Tourism sure is turning into some rough trade,

[mattinpa]

And the thing is, if you encounter a rip tide or a shark or a bear, you have to know how to handle that, and the solutions take a fair degree of nerve. They don’t know what to do, and they’re cowards. So they’re looking at a bad day.

Well, they were definitely ready for bear. I’m still not buying why there was no National Guard presence on site. Optics, my ass. They knew the militia mutts were showing up.

The party of Honest Abe died with Liar Trump.

I’m tired of hearing them called the party of Lincoln. Abe would have been a democrat just as the solid south bolted to the Republicans. Equal rights apparently was a step too far. Lincoln fought people like them. Kicked butt too.
