28. Things would be different if this was a Dem
Tue Jan 16, 2024, 03:08 PM
Jan 2024

If the Orange Asshole® was in office and a Dem said this about Repub officeholders, that Dem operative would be in jail and headed toward indictment by now.

Assholes like Stone will claim "free speech", and that what they were saying was aspirational or metaphorical but not an actual threat.

Even if anyone was stupid enough to buy this excuse, saying stuff like that encourages rogue agents to try to carry it out. I'd like to see Stone in solitary. The worst thing you can do is deprive him of an audience.
