Sounds like that same stuff one might get from MSNBC, CNN, Washington Post, New York Times etc. on any given day.

Well, just in this thread alone, I've been called an idiot, a dumb-ass, and a moron, and told to "grow the fuck up". Sounds like some folks have some anger issues to me...along with the usual issues like the inability to stay on topic.

That's how it tends to work here. The primary weapons of the left are:
ad hom attack
projection
deflection.
And just to put the last nail in their coffin, please show me the equivalent to this video where, regarding calls for violence (or lack thereof) Republican leaders self own as well as democrats do:
https://twitter.com/ElijahSchaffer/s...90897922453504
And here is a similar but a bit longer compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J31rXRjryFA
In all seriousness, I'm not seeing it anywhere.
One of my favorite comments under one of those videos so speaks to what I've been saying for years is this: "The Democrats mantra is, 'Accuse others of what we are doing.'" That's why leftists calling me a fascist is so comical.

Have you noticed the left brings up "average" people making threats, which can be easily compiled from the fringe of all sides. But I challenge them to come up with anything similar to the compilation of statements made by the left's LEADERSHIP that I included in my previous post.
You can always find nut jobs on the dark fringe of every side of an issue. But that doesn't mean everyone that politically agrees with them is a nutjob. But when their leadership slides into that dark abyss, they have a serious problem, and may want to "rethink their lives".
Fortunately, most of us do exactly that as we mature. But some never mature.

My mantra: Never trust a source that had to pay Nick Sandmann a settlement.

Your post reminded me of this:

BTW, his mother is a personal friend of my wife's friend who lives in the area. We've talked about it at length. I'm privy to some fun details that I really am not at liberty to share.

Yes, your thread is exactly that.
Federalist, libertarian Cruz has been hated by his fellow senators on both sides of the aisle for years, as he's a complete a$$hole. Even his conservative law professor has called him a fool.

Two things: All threads are "whataboutism". That's why they get started. And regading senators on both sides, yep. Kinda like Trump.
When you are not part of the uniparty, the uniparty doesn't like you. I prefer to judge senators by their records.

What uniparty? If you are so far to the right that you think that AOC and MTG (as well as Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders) share the same ideology, you are either a died-in-the-wool fascist or stupid enough to accept every idiotic meme from the wingnut outrage/infotainment complex (or both).
