WHERE is our outrage as the Right raises Charlie Kirk to Sainthood? It feels as though the Right gets to inflict physical harm and get away with it in the public eye, and when any Left idiot commits injury, it's just a blip.

Why does the Right gain supporters following an attack on one of their own, & the Left does not? Speaker Pelosi's husband was brutally attacked with a hammer & Minn.'s Dem Speaker, Horatman, was killed with her husband, & there was just a shaking of the heads from our side & the yawning media.

This is the country the Right fought hard to create... ... a country where everyone has the FREEDOM to own guns and to have the RIGHT to open-carry. Add barely veiled hate-talk with allusions to violence. Evidently, they thought that all their tough talk and bearing of arms wouldn't come to THEM?

Trump sent the National Guard armed into D.C. WHAT could go wrong? Kent State, anyone??? In 1970, students peacefully protested the Vietnam War. They were carrying flowers, and the Guard was carrying M-1 military rifles. Four young people were killed exercising their 1st Amendment rights.

Lordy, I hope so! I'm still trying to get my head around how he might be hauled outta the White House in handcuffs, when HE controls the Department of Justice... ... but, bodybag, maybe because of his age. My point stands: He INTENDS to remain in power, & nothing like "term limits" will stop him.

Trump is NOT leaving the White House. Bill Maher said it last time, & sure enough, he staged a violent insurrection to try to stay in power. Anyone who thinks he will leave the presidency at the end of his term is nuts! He won't hand power to a successor; he loves the power & prestige too much.

Is Trump's Gestapo only for deporting illegal immigrants? ICE is his secret police to threaten: Political opponents, peaceful protestors, & minorities. Remember: "First they came for the masons..." Then, people are hauled off to the concentration camps he's building. THIS is our biggest danger!
