So what is your point? Arm the front desk and no robberies ever, correct?

And I am claiming that an armed front desk person is bad look for a walk in customer business. And who in their right minds is going to rob a auto repair shop? Most of them look decrepit and greasy. And have you heard the joke about mechanics cars? Its actually true.

Indeed. A stick-up at an auto repair shop is something you would only see in a movie like Raising Arizona (or in the fevered brain of a MAGAMoron).

The guy is a conduit of the slop the Reich-wing media feeds their sheep.



He claims I dismiss his posts as such when they're often rife with such. That's as funny as his claims that he doesn't defend tRump.

Hell, even Mitt Romney, born in your hometown and the 2012 standard-bearer of the GOP and current US Senator recently stated “A very large portion of my party really doesn’t believe in the Constitution.” Maybe you should heed the wisdom of your native son and perhaps the last remaining honorable Republican on Capitol Hill.
Yes, your whataboutism: Injecting irrelevant comments about the 2020 election in a discussion about what the governor of NM did.

As for Mittens, he's bowing out in the most classless manner possible. He's been an embarrassment as a Senator, and his latest comments are building on that reputation.

He's also buthurt that he likely wouldn't survive the primary and his poll numbers were falling like a boulder off a cliff.

OK, so specifically what in the quote you cited in your post #3657 is an "alternative fact"?

Advertising you are armed gives a potential armed adversary the advantage and another weapon if successfully taken as such. You lose the advantage of surprise.
Walking around strapped without a badge just makes you look like a self-entitled confrontational asshole.

You have the sequence of events exactly wrong. I first asserted that Republicans don't believe in democracy (by virtue of supporting/defending a coup) and you responded (post #3629) with the irrelevant comment about the Governor of NM. Apology accepted. Yet again.

So, it's "classless" to warn the nation how dangerous and deranged the Lying Dotard and his posse of traitors are? You MAGMorons are singularly incapable of handling the truth.

What world do you live in? Romney's numbers (54% week ago) is far better than the Moron's (34% ending, 41% average).

I have never been a fan but that is because of his business practices (Delphi?), and carrying the family dog on the luggage rack was enough for me to write him off.

But he said some not so nice things about the Moron and it certainly seems to bother you.
