The syphilitic orange menace's own words.
He will deny he said that. He will say that's "not even my voice."
It's not even about the immediate impact.I don't think anyone would care? It's not like any big secret that he admires authoritarian leaders and hopes to have his own autocracy someday.
Sorting the wheat from the chaff is just too much work for a lot of folks. Jello Biafra (a major wit) named one of his Dead Kennedys albums "Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death."I call it "law of the first nugget."
Whatever they hear first, sticks, and any contrary information is deemed fake news and creates massive cognitive dissonance.
The right-wing echo chambers have perfected the art of using this.
I bet Fox News isn’t telling their lemmings what Mike Lee didRepublican Senator Mike Lee tweeted the following after the assassination. Since there have been no condemnations from Republican leadership or other members of Congress they must all agree with Mike Lee.
GOP senator's Minnesota assassination comments spark backlash
"This is what happens...When Marxists don't get their way," Senator Mike Lee, a Utah Republican, said on X.www.newsweek.com
Lee also write ”Nightmare on Waltz Street,”
I'm old enough to remember when a restaurant owner asked Sarah Sanders to leave her establishment and we had to have a weeks long national discussion on political civility. Now Democratic lawmakers are assassinated, Republicans laugh about it and... nothing else.Still no evidence Fox News has covered Mike Lee disparaging the assassinated Democrats in Minnesota.

It's also not just decorum. It's in everything Republicans do. Just look at today's NYT where they suggest that pocket recission of funds is legally allowed, but is a rarely used power, instead of just saying that Republicans are making bad faith arguments that undercut the law.I'm old enough to remember when a restaurant owner asked Sarah Sanders to leave her establishment and we had to have a weeks long national discussion on political civility.

The problem here is the same as always - bad faith. Did Republicans really care that a restaurant was mean to Sarah Sanders? Of course not. Since they have no compunction against lying they were more than happy to pretend they did and of course when Republicans pretend to believe something the media is always right there to pretend to believe them.
Yup. That’s the standard MO now - republicans make some insane claim about the law that’s been long settled. Then some right wing legal ‘scholars’ suddenly uncover new research! Then the media treats long settled law as ‘controversial’. This is what happened with birthright citizenship.It's also not just decorum. It's in everything Republicans do.

Another good one was NPR talking about how RFK Jr doesn't believe germ theory, but framed as if there are substantially competing and valid ideas.Yup.

They have never had ANY sense of proportion about ANYTHING!This needs repeating.
Republican depravity while sounding celebratory.
You must not have a sense of humor. /sWhat happens when "Marxists don't get their way"? WTF is he talking about?
Trying to make some sense of it, I have to conclude he's saying that if Marxists aren't allowed to run the country (and install a communist economic system?) , then socio-economic developments will be such that you'll end up with right-wing anti-abortion nuts assassinating democratically-elected (centrist) politicians?
Thus, the conclusion he presumably wants us to draw, is that it's important to put Marxists in charge of the country, so as to avert this kind of terrorism?
But why would that matter? It’s not like a pardon would get him out of prison.I'm pretty confident that if Boelter gets convicted, Trump is going to pardon him just to make the point that he can and he will. Afterall, in his mind Boelter did him a solid and it's dysfunctional crazed loyalists like him that Trump needs to force his will on the nation's peoples. Trump gets off big time when he thinks his followers are killing his enemies in his name.
He'll be guilty of capital state crimes, not pardonable by Trump. Same way he couldn't avoid state charges in New York. He'll be a convicted felon for life.But why would that matter? It’s not like a pardon would get him out of prison.
Those days would have been a lot better (oh hear me MAGAs), if the citizenry had recognized decency when they saw it.Interesting when Obama was in office Republicans didn’t have to worry about Democrats coming to assassinate them.
Oh the good old days of decency in high office
Do onto them.. make the 2A controversial.. etc.. hit them where it hurts.
Trump can only pardon the federal protion of the crimes. The murder charges are state level.I'm pretty confident that if Boelter gets convicted, Trump is going to pardon him just to make the point that he can and he will.

These are just the initial filings. More charges can always come later.Why was Boelter charged at the state level with 2nd degree murder as opposed to murder in the 1st? Are politicians lesser beings? His acts were premeditated and directed, which would admit the 1st degree charges -- no?
