And her supporters are just laughing it up. They think it's funny. There's nothing funny about this. And will she be punished for it? No, she should kicked out of Congress and thrown in prison. 
They're being open about it, and it's got people killed already. And the violence will further escalate unless we start making examples of some folks. Particularly that fuck head who occupied the White House and stacked SCOTUS, and his enablers.
The GOP needs to tone down the violent rhetoric now. 
on Gaby Giffords:
them to Kill what they don't like.. fucking Coward Assholes.
