Maybe Cooch thinks some 2nd Amendment remedies are needed for 1st Amendment problems.

Cuccinelli is to truth as Trump is to honesty.

“Can you imagine any protest about any issue that is right of center where the police in Washington DC would just let you stop up traffic all over the city?”

Yep.

There are no “right of center” protests.

Of course, that raises the question: why is science now considered “left of center”?

Sure…act like you’re all new to DC and protests…and as if “Right of Center” protests (like the birth of the Tea Party) and rallies have never happened…

“Can you imagine any protest about any issue that is right of center where the police in Washington DC would just let you stop up traffic all over the city?” the USCIS chief continued. “Yeah, neither can I. This looks like a form of passive support by the police.”

Oh, you mean like when there’s any neo Nazi rally that takes place and the police just kind of amble around not really pushing back on said Nazis? Yep, I get it.

The closer Lord Trump gets to impeachment, the more ridiculous his hangers-on become. They know they will forever be associated with the biggest political loser in all history, and they don’t see a way out, and so they panic. They whine.

As you can see from the picture that I took of the so-called global warming protesters outside of my office, what they are really against is capitalism and freedom. I would also note, that the police seem to be helping them more than anything…

Because nothing says pro-freedom more than sending in the police to bust heads and round up citizens who are assembling to exercise their rights.

Thanks to the Metro D.C. police and bronx cheer to “Acting Jackboot” Cuccinelli.

Did the protesters slow you down on your daily way to kiss Trump’s ass?

So, if I support combating climate change I’m against capitalism and freedom?

Well, I suppose I am against the freedom that greedy capitalist corporations have to rape and pillage the planet in order to increase ever-increasing profits.

I don’t think that’s Cuccinelli meant though.

Can we do something about all those Trump rallies? And the motorcades to and from those and all of his golf course trips. Really mess up the commute times for working people.

Much more disruptive and disgusting than those trying to do something about climate change.

And can we get a ruling on using his official USCIS Acting Director twitter account for calling peaceful demonstrators exercising their rights anti-freedom, while at the same time criticizing the DC police?

Passive support for breathable air and a habitable planet?

The police should arrest themselves.

The Kenster is enraged that they could affect his god-given right to get to his office on time to fire someone.
