Stop fucking lumping us in trump and his nutters. I am so sick of

lies. It is a lie that both sides had any part of January 6th or restricting voting rights.

Why does this appeasement keep happening from the tip top of our government officials?

STOP IT!!!!!!

The planned takeover of our Govt system was indeed multi pronged & it began yrs ago, coordinating in seating Trump & J6, just for starters.

He said aNustice would go after any actions threatening our democracy, regardless of thei orientation. Not that both sides were involved in such actions.

There has been a range of people going nuts in airports and on planes.

Explain how this was a "rw offense", go ahead, I want to hear you explain what this had to do with politics:

He refers to this case in particular, among several other NON-POLITICAL threat/violence incidents:

https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/new-jersey-man-arrested-threatening-kill-federal-judge-2021-11-04/



Nov 4 (Reuters) - A New Jersey man has been arrested and charged with threatening to assault and murder a federal judge who was overseeing a lawsuit he had filed, including by telling one of his clerks that he would "put a bullet in the judge's brain."

Federal prosecutors announced the charges against Jonathan Williams, 46, late Wednesday at a time of heightened concern for judges' safety after a disgruntled attorney last year shot and killed the son of U.S. District Judge Esther Salas in New Jersey and wounded her husband.


Had nothing to do with political orientation.

The context of the statement was in terms of the violent acts that have been threatened all throughout society; such things as having a meltdown on an airline are not, as he said, associated with any one partisan ideology. He was not speaking about 1/6 or voting rights at that point.

I didn't hear bothsiderism. I heard: "If you think terrorists are all brown & black & non-Christian—

— I have news for you.”

Why didn’t other people hear that, too?
