We are in a state of war. [View all]

The attack on the power grid in Washington and Oregon is a declaration of war, as was the attack in North Carolina. Anyone paying attention to postings by MAGATS knows who is responsible for these atttacks.

We can no longer pretend that this is business as usual. These right wing extremists have already declared war and we better take this shit seriously. For them to take a page out of their hero's (Putin) playbook and go after our power grid demands that we bring the full force of our justice system down on their heads. It is long past time that we bring corporal punishment to those who sow chaos and promote violence.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we are in a state of war!
