Excellent, paul. Lou had already been putting in the work getting the extreme right-wing rhetoric out there. I thought you deserved equal time.

Or to put it in a different abstract context: if you could go back in time and kill Hitler or Lenin (or some other terrible dictator) would you do it? If you answer "yes," does that make you mentally ill?

(But thought exercises aside, this guy probably had a mental illness.)
The non-mentally disturbed would use basic logic to determine that an assassination would make him a martyr and do more harm for your cause than good. The only way to beat the threat that Trump poses is by beating him and his ideas up and down the ballot.Quote:

I listened to Biden's statement last night. So, the guy who has spent the last four years comparing Trump to Hitler, calls his supporters the greatest threat to America, telling the country that Trump is a "dictator that will end democracy", and is currently instilling fear in people with the "Trump project 2025" lie now wants to cool the temperature on our political divide? Fuck you. Are you really shocked that some shithead kid believed you and took the action you and other Democrats have been asking for? There are plenty more just waiting to get a shot because of you your piece-of-shit Democrat party.
How about this: come clean and apologize for your shitty lies and fear-mongering and focus your campaign on truth and policy? I know why.
And before one of you here responds with "...but Trump", think long and hard if you are about to parrot one of your media hoaxes.
This. It’s all about viewers, clicks, and causing the useful idiots on your side of the aisle to grossly overreact. The sky is falling! The sky is falling! Regardless of who is elected in November, the sun will still come up every morning. Our democracy (not that we’re a true democracy) will continue to exist.Quote:

Plenty of those of the Left and in the MSM are calling Trump the next Hitler. You have Biden saying something about putting a bullseye on Trump. Some whack job on the Right talked about the coming revolution if Trump isn’t elected. Schumer saying "You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions." talking about Justice Kavanaugh. Just stop. Of course, there’s a better chance of me winning the Powerball than any of them apologizing.

They got my 6 and we are locked and loaded."
