Dr. Glenn Hurst had gotten used to the strings of almost unintelligible text messages — often sent late at night — from his longtime friend, Robert William Simet of Omaha.

Hurst’s response to Simet’s paranoid thoughts and ideas was often, “Bob, I wouldn’t do that if I were you.” That was usually enough to end the rants.

But Simet, 64, was arrested Friday by FBI agents in Omaha and charged with threatening U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa.

An arrest affidavit says employees of a Pacific Junction, Iowa, motorcycle shop told an FBI agent that Simet had been there Wednesday and made several statements about Ernst, including his belief that she was a member of the Islamic State.

1. Well, if you advocate 2nd amendment remedies

against liberals, you could be a member of ISIS.

2. But a congress person assaults a reporter and pretty much nothing happens.

I wouldn't put anything past her.

4. Trump has bullied several people over the years.

In public events, rallies, conventions, non political and political, day and apparently night, on and off the toilet. He even asked a foreign hostile power to hack a former Secretary of State emails during a public speech. Not once did the FBI publicly say a word about this activity.

5. So she runs campaign ads

that basically tout her castration skills and says these skills will be good to have in Washington DC and someone threatens her? Who would have thought that would happen?
