Hey, Propaganda Barbie:

We arenโ€™t moving on from people trafficking 10-year-old children and this administration covering it up.

Ever.

Three rules in FBI firearm training:

1. Always point your weapon downrange
2. Do not point your weapon at anything you do not intend to shoot
3. Donโ€™t put your finger on the trigger unless you intend to shoot

Guns are not for threatening compliance for unarmed people doing things you donโ€™t like

If you campaigned for the presidency on a promise to destroy these assholes, you would win a landslide the size of FDR in 1936, when he campaigned on a promise to destroy these assholes.

So my connect the dots here is that there will be some allegation that there was foreign interference in the voting โ€” Hugo Chavez, Italian satellites, etc. โ€” (hence why DNI is involved), making it a nat sec issue that they will use to justify doing something crazy/illegal in Nov

If Democrats haven't announced their proposal for the Donald Trump No Guns in Public bill by the end of the day, they're missing an easy shot

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings.

This can't be "reformed"
