Trump is a spoiled thin-skinned visceral man-baby…every vomitus threat is of the moment..and he does’t need to distract from his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein..that’s porn-monitor Mike Johnson’s job..

But, let's face it-he can threaten us 24/7 and there's not really much we can do about it, right now they're running the show, we just have to stay as strong as we can till next November.

A news item, from when Joseph R Biden was President...

"When do we get to use the guns?"

A man at a local event by Turning Points USA asked, just hours after the Boise Towne Square shooting, asked Charlie Kirk when he would get to start killing political opponents.



‘When do we get to use the guns?’ The police should be able to take that guy’s guns.

BY BRYAN CLARK
The Idaho Statesman, OCTOBER 28, 2021

Excerpt…

The main speaker was Charlie Kirk, the co-founder of Turning Points. Kirk’s hucksterism is obvious. He is a traveling salesman at heart.

Snip…

According to the nonprofit organization’s tax filings, Kirk was paid about $330,000 last year. Turning Points reported earning about $10.3 million from fundraising events, more than a quarter of its total revenue for 2020.

Snip…

The man, claiming the state had fallen into tyranny, asked Kirk: “When do we get to use the guns?” — to applause and cheers from many in the audience.

Then, to remove any doubt that this aspiring Brownshirt wasn’t being metaphorical or facetious but was, in fact, asking when to start murdering political opponents, he continued: “That’s not a joke. I’m not saying it like that. I mean, literally, where is the line? How many elections are they going to steal before we kill these people?”

Kirk did not respond with a simple message like: “Terrorism is wrong. You shouldn’t do it.” Instead, he cast political violence as a tactical blunder. It would play into the hand of the same hidden media-deepstate-Democrat forces trying to institute tyranny by installing Joe Biden as president, he claimed.

This arming American youth with automatic weapons and crazy ideas is intentional -- led by the rabid and corrupt right on the US Supreme Court.

Kind of a Paul Revere vibe, warn the People that the NAZIs are coming! The NAZIs are coming! Otherwise, Trump and his well-armed turd swarm just might win.
