This couldn't possibly be real, but if it was, I could add this next to the "Bubba Wallace wins a Cup Series race" test for "scenarios that would prove whether or not Spontaneous Combustion can be onset, as it pertains to people in rural Mississippi."

this is about a leftist extremist trying to incite ppl to defend the capitol which is actually quite patriotic but hes obviously just interested in the violence so it's good they got him. It sounds like he just wants to kill

but yea it's probably coming to every state capitol. Honestly tho I couldn't think of a better way to do more damage to trumpism as a movement/ideology than what has been done and whats probably going to be done. I've been running around this ohio neighborhood since before new years. A ton of trump signs/flags came down in the 48 hours after they stormed congress. Along my 3 mile route there were like a dozen houses w/trump shit out and in a couple days it went down to 3. It was that much of a reduction that fast. (And one of the 3 remaining houses had a TON of shit up and he took it all down except for one sad trump flag. Which to me is the funniest u can see this guy's thought process playing out on his front lawn) I know they're still there w/whatev heinous beliefs that led them to trump in the first place but at least now they remember that they should be ashamed of it / realize how fucked up it is. Keep in mind this is a bluish purple area. It may be different in a comfortably red rural area maybe little change I cant say but here big difference in showing support.

I think I said it to bucket once... as trump and the alt-right go further and further w/their evil and corruption, theyll lose more and more supporters and more and more people decide to stand up against them.

It's sad that some people are probably going to get killed in this maga tantrum when they try to take state capitols or assault the inauguration. They're not going to be anything close to successful tho. They're just going to make trumpsim look even more insane than it already does

TLDR:

I got tired of hearing this crap a looong time ago.  I definitely jumped off the civil discourse kibbutz about 2 years ago. Idgaf anymore about keeping peace with people so divorced from reality that they can’t admit our country has turned into a dumpster fire.

i took a little longer. i was never a "fan" so much as a reluctant supporter at first, but that shit got old real quick. 

i will say there's one good thing to come out of trump's term. it fucking ruined the republican party.

It definitely looks like it did.  Idk if Trump will take over the Republican Party, making the anti Trump Republicans break off into a new thing, or if Trump will break off. Probably doesn’t matter. There are way too many supporters of Trump than I’m comfortable with.

I wanna make a collage of the Trump cast of characters. Rudy, Stone, Flynn, Powell, and so on and compare it to the cast of an Austin Powers movie.  

Pence is Number Two. Always having to deal with his boss's crazy bullshit and never able to pursue his own normal, respectable, garden-variety evil.

..... so... not sure if this is possible, but... can you give someone a pardon that hasn't been convicted? Isn't that just immunity?

I think he can pardon someone that hasn’t been charged

So... marking your political enemies with the star of david right before an armed uprising.

hmmm.

Little bit on the nose i'd say...

The Israeli flag wasn’t being placed outside of Omar’s office so, that’s gonna be a “no”

placing another country’s flag outside of a us elected official’s office is stupid for other reasons

I'd argue that explicitly stating that a high-value target politician has their office right next door to the office with the Israeli flag is inherently using the flag as a marker.

Like if i said "that dude is standung next to the flag," the flag still acts as the defining characteristic of his location...

You can argue wrong if you want, sure

I hate agreeing with sponges when he's in his 'Lord of the Rings' bathrobe but he has a horribly valid point. It's a cheap way of pointing out where someone is located while still being able to play dumb should that person be targeted. 'I never told them specifically where in the building so-n-so's office was located! I only said I was putting up a flag by my door that points directly to her door!' 

That said, the likelihood of anyone getting that far into the building with intent to cause damage again without being actively escorted by a lawmaker is very slim right now. Any lawmaker leading someone like that around will be on camera the entire time and there will be no 'I was just giving them a tour!' excuses. And live ammunition has been granted.

 

The only time that location thing doesn't seem to work is in downtown Atlanta. You can't tell someone you're on the corner of Peachtree by the ugly statue. Because it's ALL Peachtree and there's an ugly statue on every corner. o.O

She’s planting the flag next to the American flag that is also outside her door. Sponges is trying to tie in some sort of Holocaust imagery here and it’s not gonna happen.  She’s not doing it so outsiders can target her. She’s doing it, or talking about doing it for other stupid reasons.  Once again Sponges puts his foot in his fuckin mouth and then tries to move the boat in another direction.

Shut up sponges. you want to shift gears and say something like, well she’s marking an enemy’s office, as though that’s all you were saying. When you were, in fact, making a way off and offensive Holocaust comparison.  🙄

can she possibly be setting up another rep as a target. Maybe. Did she intend that. No. Did she want to annoy Omar. Yes. Is placing another country’s flag in our Capitol stupid, offensive and unnecessary? Yes. Definitely. Can it be likened to anything like the Holocaust?  No. No. Fuck no.
