Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer (D), who has become the subject of violent threats ahead of a protest planned at the state capitol on Thursday, denounced the comments as “beyond the pale.”
Beyond the pale? Has she been locked in the basement? This is the pale. America is a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, violent nation. Has been for 230 years.
Whitmer should ask the family of Ahmaud Arbery what the pale is.
Wow. Is the FBI monitoring these people? It would seem that talk of assassination would be sufficient to have a serious investigation, not only of the people make such threats, but of those fomenting them.
And what the hell is Facebook doing about it? Don’t Zuckerberg and Sandberg understand their responsibilities here? If they don’t they surely will if there’s actual violence. They’re making money here, after all.
Actually, the extra “e” makes it more plausibly deniable. See, they were not seeking to have Gov. Whitmer obliterated in an orgy of fire and violence akin to that of the Biblical Judgment Day. No, they really just had some criticisms and concerns about the lack of judgement they contend she displayed in deciding to close down tattoo shops and S&M sex parlors. It’s just a misunderstanding, you see.
Are you kidding me? Some pantywaist is worried about “2nd Amendment rights” vs. the ability of the legislature to meet in safe conditions? There is something terribly wrong with these people, and it begins with being a member of the Republican Party.
When they go low we need to drive them lower. We need to be stupider and ruder than them.
We need people showing up with water guns and nerf guns and with onions tied to their belts. Chanting Lockdowns Suck, Trump Fumped Up.
Why should we defend the Trump administration from itself? We should be protesting, Trump’s incompetence got us to where we are today. These are the fools that voted for him. They are the ones to blame for this stinking lockdown.
How many Repub legislators will be mingling with the Michigan United for Liberty folks?
Or are they true Trumpers? Run their mouths and then run for cover.
I assume JaBarr the Fuck has advised that a bunch of gun-wielding nazis threatening a governor and occupying a legislature is not material to a legitimate investigation.
Open carry in this context is simply the right to threaten others. I will never, ever be convinced otherwise. I have seen it in practice in my state and elsewhere, and I know what I am looking at. Belligerence with deadly force. These people should be ashamed of themselves for being too inarticulate to use words. Sickening.
We had the situation here where a salon owner kept defying the governor’s shutdown order and was threatened a number of times and then arrested and jailed for it. She caught a 14 day sentence. But by then she was a ratwing hero. The judge is a Democrat and the death threats have been unbelievable.
The governor ordered her released after 48 hours despite the fact that it was his orders the judge was enforcing. But by god Ted Cruz needed a haircut, so Abbott rode the rescue.
It’s their go-to these days and they are going to wear this shit out .
