What part of my post didn’t you understand?

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Nowadays for Trump that seems like a normal day. And yes, more please…

In their twisted reality it’s “black man with gun shoots excessively patriotic tourist”.

They’ve been moving in a fascist direction for a long time. Actually, since Goldwater, although I wouldn’t call him one. But by quite openly, strongly and very publicly opposing all civil rights legislation and appealing to “states rights” in his 1964 Presidential Campaign, he effectively started the movement of the revanchist White racist Confederacy into the Republican Party, a transition finalized by and under Reagan’s disastrous (for the future of this country’s democracy) Administration. The groundwork having been done, and the rot started, the actual move into full blown fascism just took a match, which was eagerly provided by Trump, who had long been waiting for such a chance.

The problem with the Republican Party is that it has been taken over by conservatives.

They can’t tolerate many voices.
