Um, what!? How the hell did you get that!?

As usual, you are rabble rousing.

But since a deep freeze drove Cruz to seek asylum in Cancun, wonder what a death threat could do. Move back to Canada perhaps.

Obama election spurs race threats, crimes
Police have documented a range of alleged hate crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack, since the election of Barack Obama.

But for the racist right, they can't have any threats against one of their own? Even against a useless, spineless, gutless creature like Ted Who?

From Woman of the Year Liz Cheney.

"Trump broke Ted Cruz," Cheney told the network. "A real man would be defending his wife, and his father, and the Constitution."

I realize this is whataboutism and its fun since I detest Cruz.

"Every last one of your republican colleagues to have signed off on that platform is to be found, and is to be found and killed, be it by a bullet to the face or by the smashing of a brick in your skull. It is a civic duty of every American citizen or resident to see to it that every last one of your colleagues is to be killed. Killed. Be it by finding you in a public space or by trailing you to your very, by your very public homes. The addresses of which are public knowledge. You and every one of your colleagues is to be shot dead. Found and killed. You sick pieces of human scum will not have the (explicit) audacity to aggressive any further and to strip us of our rights like you did our grandparents so many years ago. You’ll be found and killed. As a civic do you have every American to do so (explicit). (explicit) Rafael. You piece of human scum."

Joking aside, your attempt at equivalency is lame. Per the FBI, right-wing violence is the biggest domestic threat the nation faces. In fact, since 2015, right-wing extremists have been involved in 267 plots or attacks and 91 fatalities, the data shows. At the same time, attacks and plots ascribed to far-left views accounted for 66 incidents leading to 19 deaths. In other words, right-wing extremism is nearly 5X as dangerous as left-wing extremism.

Simple solution = get rid of extremists on both sides, and save the USA from 333 incidents and save 110 people

Yes, the above statement IS tongue in cheek, but in reality I've long believed the only political party here in the USA should be "The party of the United States of America". People aligned with political parties WILL put party affiliation ahead of what's actually good for the country. Oh, and, while I'm talkin fantasy land, PACs should be outlawed as well. Let the so called "public servants" who have become "The ruling class" actually live on the base pay for whatever position they hold, without the whole "Nicky Pockets" deal goin on.

This is the reason I've never belonged to either party, in practice George Washington woulda had the whole lot of em shot for treason......

Washington of course took a dark view of parties, but he certainly wouldn't have had any lot shot for treason. He didn't have any Whisky Rebellion participants shot, instead he pardoned the two that actually were convicted of treason and would have been hung.

Just dipped a toe into the Boston Herald, where feature writer Howie Carr contributes column after column laced with stuff like this:

"C’mon down, Brian Deese, director of Dementia Joe Biden’s National Economic Council. Last week, Deese was asked on CNN how long the American people would have to cope with outrageously high gas prices in the wake of a war in eastern Europe that nobody cares about."

This is the sort of analysis that informs conservative opinion these days?
