one thing's for sure, the deplorables don't know how to pick up after themselves:

They show up, pat themselves on the back, trash the place, and leave.

Well, we're still waiting for them to leave.

“In an email to The Oregonian/OregonLive Wednesday afternoon, Boquist stuck with his earlier statement and rejected a reporter’s characterization of his threat to troopers as “thinly veiled.”

“Nothing thinly veiled,” Boquist wrote. “I have been in political coup attempts. I have been held hostage overseas. I have been jailed politically overseas … Not going to be arrested as a political prisoner in Oregon period.”

As Willamette Week has reported, Boquist is a U.S. Army veteran whose businesses include military training and an international operation that journalists described in the 1990s as a paramilitary force of armed American and Russian ex-military officers.”

Is the Oregon GOP proud of this threat?

That pic is a fitting metaphor for white flyover republican asshole Americans and their impact

Lolz. That pic reminds me of a Mad Men episode where Don Draper took his wife and kids on a picnic in the countryside, and when they were done they just left all of their trash on the grass and drove off. I think that episode was set somewhere around 1962-63, which is where most of these Trump Republicans still are mentally and culturally.

Why would Mississippi Republicans do that instead of just trusting democracy to work in their favor?

Oh....

Ironic that the US State with the highest percentage of African-Americans is the only remaining state with a Confederate Battle Flag still featured on the state flag.

I don't think that's irony.

I remember that episode and depiction.

It was freakin’ spot on.


Back then, it somehow made sense for folks to simply throw their trash onto the side of the road, etc.

How the hell does that not violate Reynolds v. Sims (one person one vote, and representatives represent people not trees)?

I don’t think a well armed militia in response to a bill against man’s destruction of climate is what the founders had in mind but that’s just me.

Fleeing and hiding? God almighty.

If you don’t think there is a pretty good chance violence will break out around the country if Trump loses the 2020 election, you need to rethink your probability calculations.

 

[PhDeac]

Violence will break out either way. Either hate crimes continue to rise because he wins or the Purge happens because he loses and conservative circles will contest the election. What side will the cops and military be on?
