As a farm boy, I always have a lighter and a knife in my pocket. Both can be very dangerous. I am a gay performer who has been bulled before. Yet, at no time have I ever felt I needed to bring either into the equation. I certainly would if I felt I needed to.

And yes, most of Meal Team Six are loudmouths who will run like a scalded cat once a bullet actually passes near them. I recall all the instances in the Revolutionary War where a militia would be all gung-ho and ready to fight until the British started approaching with fixed bayonets. Then it was all 'assholes and elbows'. Most people think they are mighty warriors. Most have never even been in a 'school yard' fight.

I should be afraid of this?

The redneck is only expressing that opinion because that's what his god Donald Trump said.

Then he makes reference to Harris's "word salads," completely oblivious to Trump's endless stream of word salads.

Harris is vastly more articulate than Trump. Also vastly more educated and intelligent than Trump.

The redneck can't see beyond the racist and misogynist nose on his face.

Has the brains to get through law school.

He could run for senate from a state like CA and win—with one hand tied behind his back. Become attorney general, too!

And you have to know he could get 15 billion out of Volkswagen for cheating on emissions standards. Stuff like that is easy peasy for a smart dude like him.

I’m sure he could write 3 books.

Collaborate on a homeowner’s bill of rights to protect citizens from greedy banks and mortgage lenders who engaged in aggressive foreclosures.

————————-

I mean seriously—how could anyone say these things in the face of a lifetime of accomplishment in the public eye? It boggles the mind. Scary stupid and those words were phrased exactly like trump phrased them.

To the black lady that believes in life: You might want to research how many women and babies have died since 'Roe v Wade' was overturned.

A zygote is not a baby.

A fetus is not a baby.

An acorn is not an oak tree.

To have the nerve to say Kamala is as dumb as a stump when you are supporting trump shows your ignorance.

I am so fucking sick and tired of these dumb, stupid, ignorant, racist, weird, fascist fucks.

They are separated from reality.

Their brains have been warped.

Seriously, start breaking it down; first is the idea that this Supreme Being, the one who possessed the power and capacity to actually create the time and space, including the Earth and all it contains, requires human assistance to fight his battles. He’s all powerful, no battle should last more than a nanosecond against him. Second is assuming God is so feeble that he needs heroes like the guy in the video to fight for him, there’s the reason. Trump? God want to wage war to prop up a man who has literally broken every commandment, continues to live a life of sin, has shown absolutely no remorse or contrition for any of his sins, this is the guy God want you to risk your life for in His name?

Even for people of “faith” that is one hell of a stretch.

when they say "civil war" they are talking about the standard tactic of kkk night riders.

they want to terrorize the survivors into "dhimitude.' with no political power and little safety. the way the "great migration " was directed northward into the cities (or the jews were collected in the ghettos until a vacancy opened at aischwicz.

to fight a war of terror.

Couch potatoes can attack infrastructure. They've been practicing on power grids. Gravy Seals can hide in the woods and fire a few rounds.

Asymmetric warfare. Not like Gettysburg, more like Quantrill's raiders.

Remember Oklahoma City. Remember the boogaloo bois shooting cops during the BLM uprising, trying to start a race war. Just this month there was a probing attack on a mil base.

We need to take threats of violence seriously and be proactive, not reactive. Do like Germany and stop the coup BEFORE it happens.

Not long I suspect, besides, these people like to brag about their "exploits", that's how they get busted or buried.

Corporate America. Take out utilities and the corporations who own them lose money. Take out transportation and supplies and goods don't reach their destinations. Terrorize the community and it interferes with consumer spending.

Taking shots at average citizens is one thing but interrupting commerce is quite another.
