MAKE THE RUBBLE BOUNCE: Coalition Of Gun Rights Groups Challenge Big Banks Over Gun Industry Debanking History.

HARSH BUT FAIR:

Amy, the American people have spoken, they want to cut spending and reject paying for healthcare for illegal aliens.

So, go back to being abusive to your staffers and leave governing to the adults. https://t.co/qts8oztRSL

YOUR SPEECH COUNTS AS VIOLENCE. THEIR VIOLENCE COUNTS AS SPEECH. That’s a Twist: Pritzker Says It is Dangerous to Call Democrats Fascist. Plus: “One does benefit by paying attention to the wild accusations Democrats make about Donald Trump’s dark plans. They are invariably a tell regarding what Democrats themselves are doing or plan to do. Censor people? Check. Lawfare? Check. Send the TSA after their political opponents? Check. Abuse the intelligence “community” to destroy opponents? Check.”

Also:

This is an insane take. Hegseth is (as he often does) doing a variation on the Roman / Latin adage “Si vis pacem, para bellum” (If you want peace, prepare for war). It’s a very common & popular military concept & it has nothing to do with Orwell nor fictional fascist governments. https://t.co/H8lsRZV91d

THEY STARTED A WAR AND THEY LOST IT.

For people that are undergoing „genocide“ they seem to be quite picky.
