You are either trolling or making a false claim. Either action is against tos. As I understand them.

Just pointing out that you can be as vile as you like within certain boundary conditions. It would be nice if Republicans had something of value to say on this subject. Such as, "violent acts like this are not acceptable regardless of political POV". But no, you went directly to the bottom of the barrel.

Trumpist fascism is on display in your post.
Don’t forget his factual proof “ I’m guessing “

Just posted this has become age of assassination with Russian and Iranian deaths of importance close to president. The head of The Snake needed to be dealt with long ago..I mean don't we have friends left? If we fall? Militias are illegal in all 50 states yet everywhere. I certainly hope DOJ has a plan for 2024.
Yep, assassination is a tool authoritarians use to gain or maintain their grip on power. The only thing stopping the radical right from wider use of it in the US is the DOJ is not under the control of MAGA GOP. They seem to be free with making death threats. I would like to see that kind of intimidation get more attention from law enforcement.

It's not acceptable. Lots of Republican Party members have called her and wished him the best. I can't stand Pelosi, but shit like this is never ok to happen to anyone. It was lucky it ended as quick as it did. Sounds like he didn't even have a house alarm on or anything.

If that happened to Trump instead I have a feeling a lot of you guys might feel differently.

eff your insinuation of a double standard.

Assassination is something Trump and his radical right openly discuss:

"If she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do, folks,” Mr. Trump said, as the crowd began to boo. He quickly added: “Although the Second Amendment people — maybe there is, I don’t know.”

His audience loves that shit. That kind of rhetoric leads to what happened to Pelosi and her husband. It's a direct line.

One never hears this from Democratic Party leaders. So, eff your dirty lie that Democrats are just like Republicans. They aren't.

It is interesting to think about how they got there though. I grew up around a bunch of union activist people. Pretty salty now that I spent Saturdays on picket lines as a kid for for folks that hate me now, but oh well.

I do think nafta was a big deal and a driver of splitting union members away from the dems. That was a major thing for a couple of years. As DIY mentioned, they got their info from union leaders...and that info was that nafta was the worst thing in the world and they were gonna take yer jerbs. It went through and while union leadership might have been able to move on, I don't think the members did.

Maybe it started earlier, but that is when I noticed it. It was an opening for what we see now to really take hold. Think it's also related to why Clinton (as a name really) is such an effective bad guy/boogieman with some groups.

In other words:
We, as the dems, kissed some chick at party so our union girlfriend broke up with us. That crazy bitch then got strung out and is a now a truck stop stripper. Her mom thinks she should have forgiven us, we had a bright future together.

Edit: this is relevant because union members use hammers.
As I recall and catch snippets on History Channel, the whole thing became dirty and extortionist in nature with Jimmy Hoffa..off to a good start with him, he went south. I remember my dad and uncle who had AC company crossed the picket sit out (Teamsters could stop for almost any reason) my dad telling me he was worried he'd be followed and killed by the Mafia (parents: don't ever tell your 10 year old child something like that).

Relevant because murder like a Third World Country since we had just lived through JFK, RFK, MLK and Malcolm X in 5 SHORT years.

that's just really sad, and kind of pathetic. making up lies about an 82 year old man, who was just the victim of a politically motivated hate crime...magats truly have no shame, feel no remorse, lack any empathy...
not that long ago, an attack on the spouse of the speaker of the house of the United States Senate would have been a universally abhorred and condemned action, taken by a sick individual...now it's just standard operating procedure for magats, and the freedumb caucus assholes will undoubtedly start a defense fund for the mentally ill pawn whose life they have just destroyed.

that’s pretty polarizing / divisive / violent in wording.


I just responded to your post with the first few examples quickly found on google I assumed you’d missed yesterday.
No, it's not. It's very accurate wording. The actions of magats are polarizing, divisive, and violent, and to accurately describe them, you have to use the proper terminology, much like describing the procedure for cauterizing a hemorrhoid...Precision and accuracy count.

There is an actual administrative organization and then there are the members.

Working for the Teamsters is very different from being a Teamster.

Its not that difficult.
Guess who occupies the administration? Members. Guess who elects the administration? Members. Guess who pays the administration? Members.

"Working for the Teamsters"?? What does that even mean? Unions aren't employers.

Roger I’m not sure you’re capable of actually having a civil discussion at this point. Just based off your last three posts you seem to equate millions of Americans with the most extreme examples of the far right, carried out by a handful of people. People are far more complex than you make them out to be, and you’re not making your tent any bigger talking like an extremist.

the party that refuses to expell the extremists that are trying to destroy our democracy? the party that refuses to censure disrespectful, bigoted, hateful statements from gosar, greene, boebert, jones, grassley.....? that party that condones the seditious attack on our own government on 1/6? the party that is contemplating allowing the criminal ringleader that failed to carry out his overthrow attempt , to try again? does it seem odd that i consider any member of that party as guilty as those they condone? those they don't even bother to be apologist for? a shrug doesn't fucking cut it...every republican is responsible for what those violent few do, because they've condoned their actions thus far.
