(19,312 posts)"bus 'em to the meat packing plants and fields of crops". As we used to say when we were young, "fuckin' A, bubba".

(9,999 posts)During my Navy stint, everything had a fuckin A at the end. I have not heard that in a while. If my daughter was not a Trauma nurse I would say let all those ass holes out into the world with no PPE and suffer like the 61 thousand plus did. Freedumb, liberty, tyrannical gubment, give me my damn socialist check. They are all safe, just a hoax, they washed in the blood of Jesus. Let Hannity, Ingram, Limpballs, Pence and Jarod join em. Ashamed I served for THIS shit hole country GOP have created.

(72,497 posts)Let's see how tough these "warrior patriots" are when they against armed and TRAINED
police, state highway patrol, US marshals, or the national guard.
BTW it is Vlad Putin who is pulling their chains. And they are a minority of a minority egged
on by Trump, Fox News, and Vlad Putin via social media.
Plus they are getting their heads filled with crap from 2 new right wing TV networks ...
news max and OAN.
This lock down is vii-oooh-lating my constitutional rights and it is the work of liberal
big gub-errr-mint socialists who want my gunz.

McKim
(2,412 posts)Lock them up! If they are not arrested, there will be more and more of this! As others have said, if these guys were Black it would be a different story! I am quite frightened.

(12,288 posts)These are terrorists and should be regarded as such. The national guard does not negotiate with terrorists.

(561 posts)Trump said publicly to Pence, he didn't have to call her back because she wasn't "nice". He really hates women who speak up. She wasn't being nasty, just honest, fighting for the people in her state. He has been so supportive of these thugs, with their guns, Trump/Pence signs, confederate flags, Nazi paraphernalia, encouraging them with his tweets because "they like me". Sickening and dangerous. I'm scared for her.

(410 posts)my uncle, a good south texas old redneck, long before today's bullshit
said we would have another civil war and not about whites/blacks but
everyone against everyone else.
This was the early 1970's.
He had is guns responsibly
National sheet shooter
I remember his "hand cannon" 333 Winchester magnum rifle for elk in Colorado
Still have the "L" scar in my right eyebrow
I was like 16 and he is big and stock that he had to get his head out of the way
as it is coming back and you can't stop it.
Many fun times and "learning experiences"

(2,949 posts)When the republicans made open carry legal almost everywhere in Michigan. I think Whitmer handled it correctly, any forceful response would have given the thugs the press they wanted.

(19 posts)This scene is the first time where it's really hit home just how much shit we're in as a country. I knew before, I did. I knew this election is the most important in our history. I knew that if we can't find a way to get Biden elected, this country will not recover. I really believe this.
Now I wonder if we're passed the point of no return. What will happen when Trump loses? It's going to be much worse than this I fear and I fear there will be bloodshed. I hope I am wrong. These people are dirtbags and dirtbags don't lose their dirt.
My wife and I planned on trying to have our first child in the next several months. We're at the point where there's a conversation happening if this is a country we want to bring a child into right now.

(5,276 posts)Apologies to Sinclair Lewis for my reworking a bit the title Of Sinclair Lewiss book.
30+ years of slurping up the rants of Fox News, Limbaugh, etc have brought us these crazed Far Right foaming at the mouth Neo Nazi Types.
I have a number of videos involving WW2, including the lead up to that war. One is the rise of Nazi Germany followed by the Fall. The rise is not very dissimilar to whats going on here, and other countries, right now.
We better win all three branches and work on defusing the crazies.
