15. How is demanding action for this crime 'trashing Democrats'?
Thu Jan 8, 2026, 02:30 PM

I hate to tell you, but this requires a response. One that displays how far we are willing to go, since they have shown us how far they are willing to go.

And...?

We need action against this attack on our citizen. I will complain about this until it happens. I will demand it until it happens.

It is not 'trashing Democrats'. It is demanding action. I am sorry that this scares you, but we had the chance to lock those animals up four years ago and we didn't. Now, we have to decide if our nation is worth the effort.

Is it? (Gods, I always thought so.) Because not going after those animals in the same way they went after that woman is tantamount to not doing anything. When your dog tries to bite someone, are you going to sit and explain to them that they should not do that and you hope that this discussion will help them avoid future situations, or do you pop them on the nose so that they understand that they should not do it? Because I have yet to see a pet 'learn its lesson' without learning what consequence means. And, they only understand one thing. These two-legged animals are no different.

I know you will disagree. I am glad you can. Disagreeing is what leads us to solutions, because that creates debate which creates a space for all the 'chaff' to be removed from the ideas until we derive a decent, equitable solution. Blindly just saying someone or some party is always correct and always doing what is best without examination, no matter what they do (or don't do), is what the other side does. That removes the ability to have any discussions in the first place. You like being able to have such discussions, I hope.

Because that right is next, mark my words.
