In a country with armed MAGAts who want to take the law into their own hands or commit acts of domestic terrorism.

Man killed in FBI raid after alleged threats against Biden, other officials

Interesting part of this story is that this man was being tracked by the FBI and was questioned previously for his threatening posts and told the FBI to come back with a warrant. They did and he got killed for inviting the FBI. (/s)

When the FBI did interview him, he was adorned in a Trump hat. Idiots every one of them, dying for a worthless scum.

If I wanted to waste my time I'd watch some Reich-wing media bitching & moaning about "Biden's weaponized FBI" using excessive force against some poor harmless old man who's only "crime" was supporting Donald Trump.

Here is a para from an opinion piece I linked in another thread, which adds to this cartoon.

Quote:

When he hasn’t been igniting straw men in the culture wars, DeSantis has sought to portray himself as “Trump without the baggage,” a MAGA crusader who knows how to manipulate bureaucracies and get things done. The problem is that Republican voters don’t seem to want “sane Trump” or “unindicted Trump” — not as long as original-recipe Trump is still on the menu.

Here is another interesting case that represents title of this thread.

A week after Bowers was sentenced to death for the synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh, this guy Lloyd was seeking vengeance.

Quote:

On social media, he pledged to track down the jurors at the trial, sought guidance on making ghost guns and pipe bombs, and urged anyone reading his website to follow the example of Robert Bowers, the man who carried out the synagogue massacre, the deadliest antisemitic attack in the country’s history.

What is even more troubling that this guy shot his girlfriend dead and was acquitted claiming self defense. A single shot to the head, body dumped elsewhere and yet he escapes punishment. he was just as much a White Nationalist then as he is now.

Quote:

In March 2004, Lloyd promoted the Order of National So************************m whose motto was “Wake up and Kill Someone.”

More on what sort of country we live in...

NBC.com headline this morning...

Quote:

GOP strategists warn Trump's post-indictment political resilience could falter after Georgia.

Trump needs Georgia to return to the White House, the strategists said, and nonstop indictment coverage could wear on voters who would otherwise be inclined to back him.

Indictments could cause Trump's political resilience to falter? Really? Could cause??? What the fuck has to happen...we have already identified that he could pull out a glock and shoot a black child in the head in Times Square and still be elected. But criminal indictments that could put him in prison for over 700 years "could cause political resilience to falter"???

Here's the article...
Trump's post-indictment political resilience could falter after Georgia

From the article...

Quote:

After having voted for Trump in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020, Phyllis Weaver, 79, of Gwinnett County, said she is even more certain she won't support Trump next year.

Weaver said that she had tracked the case in neighboring Fulton County and that the charges were merited. “They’re founded,” she said Tuesday.

Still, she conceded some exhaustion with the pace of new charges, saying she turned over to watch "The Bachelorette" soon after news broke Monday that an indictment could soon be handed up in Georgia.

"He should be cut out from politics," Weaver said. “I don’t think he should be allowed to run for president."

OK...Phyllis...OK, he shouldn't be running for president, Phyllis.. But for Christ's sake Phyllis...y'know? How about "I don't think he should be walking the streets a free man." How's about that, eh Phyllis???

Should have shot whoever the fuck he is in the hindquarters and hung his MAGA ass from a deer hook until he bled out.

A few samples of the many incidents of violence/murder perped on LGBTQ+ from this summer so far...

18-year-old Jacob Williamson in South Carolina, a transgender man who was killed after going on a date.

24-year-old Akira Ross, who was shot and killed at a Cedar Park, Texas, gas station by a man who reportedly yelled a homophobic slur at her.

Three transgender women, Cam Chamberlain, Ashley Burton, and Chanell Perez Ortiz, who were killed in separate incidents in Central Texas, Atlanta, and Carolina, Puerto Rico, as first reported by PGHLesbian.

Colin Smith, a straight, cisgender man, who was killed defending an LGBTQ friend being harassed by a man using homophobic slurs according to The Oregonian.

Leading the country in LGBTQ+ violence and killing...TEXAS!!!

They are appealing...on what grounds? Who TF can say? On the "hey...we're white patriots and this is Florida" grounds, perhaps.

White couple who shot at a black man and his son returning a U-Haul are sent to prison

Charles McMillon, Jr. will hopefully sue their white supremacist flabby sagging asses into the ground.

Quote:

As convicted felons, the Fountains “will never be able to possess a firearm, bringing a measure of justice to the family and to the community at large," states the release.

White supremacist felons who attempted a murder on a law abiding black father and son can never own a firearm again??? It's a fucking outrageous violation of the Second Amendment to the fucked up Constitution of the United States of America.

Not too long ago when I opined about the GOP being at war with out democracy one of our Republican friends here remarked about me/we Democrats wanting one party rule. It seems to me that Democrats aren't the ones with that in mind.

This story should make one sad as well as angry, and of course it happened in Florida over Christmas presents.

Florida teen allegedly shoots and kills sister over Christmas gift spat

Quote:

A Florida woman holding her 11-month-old son in a baby carrier was fatally shot by her 14-year-old brother while trying to defuse an argument over Christmas gifts he was having with a 15-year-old brother who also was armed, authorities said.

The 15-year-old brother then shot his 14-year-old brother, though not fatally, for killing their sister on Sunday in Largo, Florida, which is located in the Tampa metro area, the Pinellas county sheriff’s office said in a news release.

The argument over gifts started while the three siblings were Christmas shopping with their mother and the sister’s two sons, ages six and 11 months. It continued when they went to their grandmother’s house where the sister, 23, told the younger brother to stop arguing with his older brother since it was Christmas Eve. The younger brother then told his sister he was going to shoot her and her infant, and then he shot her in the chest, the sheriff’s office said.
