I am guillotine material. I am a progressively democratic politically. To the left of Hillary, right of Burnie.

I wonder why a convicted felon can threaten to execute me via the aforementioned guillotine with impunity?

Somehow I think if I did the same to him…even though I’m not a convicted felon… I would find myself in deep doo doo.

Do we have one law for alleged billionaire felons and one law for simple folk…ahh, well yeah I recognize the foolishness of my assertion. Still there must be some limit to the threats.

My fantasies must remain locked up in my head. If I started ranting about seeing an ex-president's head burst in a cloud of red mist, I’d be labeled as a crazed person and locked up tight, even if in reality I couldn’t get within a half mile of him/her. But he could scream on and on how he would wipe us from the face of the earth with absolutely no repercussions.

7. 'You People in Your Cities' Are 'Pushing the Party That Owns 90% of the Guns'

Newsmax Host Ominously Warns ‘You People in Your Cities’ Who Are ‘Pushing the Party That Owns 90% of the Guns’

Michael Luciano
Mediaite.com, May 31st, 2024, 6:46 pm

Newsmax host Carl Higbie went on a tirade on Friday after former President Donald Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury the day before.

SNIP...

During Friday’s edition of Frontline on Newsmax, Higbie demanded congressional Republicans drop everything and go after those involved in Trump’s prosecution.

“Where the hell are you guys on this one?” he said. “Stop everything in Congress. Subpoena everyone. Don’t take summer recess. Don’t take weekends. Don’t even get up to go to the bathroom. Get in there and subpoena everyone. This judge, his daughter, everyone affiliated with anything ever, ever! I don’t care if we stop building bridges and highways and stop funding our government. You fight fire with fire. Otherwise, these Marxists are going to keep doing this.”

The host then called on Republican attorneys general to begin targeting Democrats. He also addressed the “tyrants” responsible for Trump’s prosecution and conviction:

I’m not just talking. You tyrants are about to awaken a machine you don’t want. You are pushing people to the edge. The same party that is offended by the wrong pronoun is pushing the party that owns 90% of the guns, of which, the majority defends our nation, who mine our minerals, who build our skyscrapers, and drive our trucks.

You weak people have no idea. You people in your cities with your white-shoe consultants, country clubs who thought prosecuting Trump was a good idea. You have never met America
.

ETA: Higbie is so crazy, he had to resign his office in the Scumpf badminstration for making racist, sexist and sundry bigoted comments.

According to MAGATS, cities are highly dangerous places filled with gun toting drug dealing murderers.

And, according to MAGATS, cities are full of unarmed wusses and it's the country folk who have all the guns.

GOP candidate faces backlash after sharing Christmas ornaments of Democrats in nooses

by Tatyana Tandanpolie
Salon, December 26, 2023

A Republican congressional candidate posted an image of a Christmas tree decorated with ornaments of Democrats in nooses and later expressed regret after being hit with backlash.

Former West Virginia state lawmaker Derrick Evans shared and quickly deleted the image, which showed miniature versions of politicians like President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Barack Obama and Rep. Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., hanging from nooses, according to The Messenger. A Donald Trump ornament beside the display appears to be raising his hand in approval of the hangings.




Evans, who resigned in January 2021 from the West Virginia House of Delegates after being federally charged over his participation in the Jan. 6, Capitol riot, is running for Congress in 2024.

He is a vocal supporter of Trump and the former president's baseless claims about the 2020 presidential contest being fraudulent and stolen. The former West Virginia legislator pleaded guilty to one felony count of civil disorder in March 2022 and later served a 3-month sentence in federal prison for his role in the riot, during which he livestreamed his felonious activities on Facebook, according to NBC News.

For example, this guy sounds like Trump himself, a man who isn’t of sound mind or in control of his faculties. And he was on the verge of starting a legislative career when he caught a whiff of conscience…



Former congressional candidate endorsed by Trump surrenders for murder

by Ariana Baio
The Independent, March 7, 2023

Daniel Rodimer, a former wrestler who ran for a Republican congressional seat in 2020, surrendered himself to authorities in Nevada on Wednesday evening after an arrest warrant sought him out on an open murder charge.

Mr Rodimer, 45, turned himself into the Clark County Detention Center hours after the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police (LVMP) identified him as a suspect in the murder of 47-year-old Christopher Tapp.

Authorities say Tapp was found suffering from injuries inside a hotel room on the Las Vegas Strip in October 2023. He was transported to the hospital but later pronounced deceased. Initially, officials believed his injuries were a result of an accident.

Snip…

At the time, former president Donald Trump endorsed Mr Rodimer, once saying at a rally, “Dan Rodimer, we’re with you all the way, Dan.”

To kill off a whole segment of the American population because he got convicted for fraud, and he doesn't like how we think.

As much as I despise Stinking Nazi lovers, I would never advocate for their murder. That's Kool aid drinking cray-cray.
