"The normalization of violence as part of the mainstream Republican Party is cause for concern." That understated ending of today's letter rattles the windows like thunder. Ominous and foreboding. Eventually talk alone won't satisfy them.

Death threats by the Republicans- especially by Trump and Jordan- should be taken very seriously- just the threat is ominous even if not acted on. And given the absence of moral boundaries by Republican apologists for the insurrection, we should assume that these threats will be acted upon.
Richard, thank you for your moderating the tone of this thread. We are dealing with profoundly unscrupulous people who have been cornered; as the wild ranting continues, they are capable of great destruction. They have zero compunction and will stop at nothing. This has gone way beyond politics.
Yes. So far beyond politics. I have to keep telling my high schooler, studying American Government, that it wasnтАЩt always like тАЬthisтАЭ. тАЬThisтАЭ is so far beyond the pale that itтАЩs translucent.
Anne-Louise, well now IтАЩm not going to sleep. I just pray that Speaker Pelosi is posing the same question to the Capitol Police. Boebert and MTG are scary certifiable, no kidding around about that.
She did have an opponent. She pretty much ruined his life before he dropped out of the race. This article is from the WaPo. A very disturbing insight as to how far this wack job will go to get what she wants. https://wapo.st/3HQYjyP
I voted in TX yesterday. Lots of repubs running unopposed. One thing repubs have, well two things: seemingly unlimited money for lying political ads, and plenty of bat-Schitt crazy cultists candidates.
Talk leads to actionтАжremember how talk radio inflamed Timothy Mcveigh?? This scares the CRAP out of me, but if every single media mouthpiece and every Dem candidate donтАЩt make misinformation, inciting insurrection and violence and oAth breaking an issue, no one will pay any attention until there is a morgue full of corpses.
I agree, Sally. The sooner the better. And what should we do about Marjorie Taylor Greene, liar, Covid super spreader,and gun nut, who harassed Hogg a few years ago in Washington? The cult of disrespect gets ever more dishonest and violent. Silent Republican legislatorsтАФthat is your legacy.
They. Don't. Care. They are like the bully in the schoolyard. It's only when someone stands up to them that they (might) stop. By the way, if anyone missed Nancy Pelosi's words on messaging:
I sent the link to one of my senators and plan to write a letter to the Editor of my local newspaper, again! We must speak up and drown out, or at least equal, the crazies.

The Secret Service paid a visit to Ted Nugent a few years ago. The threats stopped
The threats are like invitations, just like the invitation to come to Washington on 1/6. They are real, not just chatter.
Is Mrs Boebert still carrying her Glock into Congress?
Anne-Louise, well now IтАЩm not going to sleep. I just pray that Speaker Pelosi is posing the same question to the Capitol Police. Boebert and MTG are scary certifiable, no kidding around about that.
I always wondered how a total fuckup like MTG got elected and then I read she ran unopposed. They said it was a close race.
She better be careful, or the Gazpacho will put her in the Goulash!
Very good, Steve! You're quite a geopolitical cook.

Unf++kingbelievable
This is a terrifying, tragic storyтАФwell written too.

Ha! Joke of the night.
I suppose it was, if she was running against herself. She must have walked it in.
She was elected because 80% of the white peoppe in her district think just like she does. ThatтАЩs the scary part.

Even though she voted for herselfтАж
Quite the soloist!
John Wilkes Booth in drag?

Maybe, but seeing David Hogg talk about Parkland on the 4th anniversary, even dead chidren doesn't get action.
ALL lawbreakers MUST be held accountable, no ifs ands or bu(t)ts... oops, excuse me.

And repubs blocked any gun legislation or policies after the tragedy of Sandy Hook. No accountability.
I have lost count of how many deaths since the Black Lives Matter/hold up the Bible march.
So there is a supply of misinformation........but the demand is great.
That's what I am afraid of.
Yes.
Yep, those last thoughts are like the thunder before the storm.
