Thats definitely how I meant it. Just being cheeky about how he was handling itWay i interpreted it was being tongue to cheek that has a whiff of validity.

Oh...well I only ask because back in May you said that two of your red lines in the sand for withdrawing all support for Trump were:
Trump deploys the military within our borders.
and
The government arrests dissenters who are exercising their free speech.
And he's done both. Several times.
So do you want to move those goalposts, or do you want to admit that you don't actually have any principles?
Rioting is not Free Speech. Attacking Feds and their facilities is not free speech. The deployment of the military has been to protect Federal officers and properties.
I noticed you edited out all the other points I made. You're a muppet.
Looks like the answer is no principles.
Here are several Virginia dems saying what Jones said was wrong.
Democratic leaders across Virginia responded with near-universal disgust — but stopped short of demanding Jones end his campaign.
U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., called the comments “appalling” and “inconsistent with the person I’ve known.”
Spanberger, the Democratic nominee for governor, said she was “disgusted” by Jones’s remarks and had spoken directly with him Friday afternoon.
“I made clear to Jay that he must fully take responsibility for his words,” Spanberger said in a statement. “As a candidate — and as the next governor of our commonwealth — I will always condemn violent language in our politics.”
State Sen. Ghazala Hashmi, the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor, said Jones “must take accountability for the pain that his words have caused.”
Virginia Senate Majority Leader Scott Surovell, D-Fairfax, was among the most forceful in his response, calling the texts “a serious lapse in judgment that cannot be defended.”
“While we don’t share the same political views, I consider Todd Gilbert a friend and an honorable person,” Surovell said. “The comments directed at him and his family were completely out of bounds.”
Surovell added that the context of the exchange — apparently sparked by condolences after Johnson’s passing — made the remarks “even more inappropriate.”

‘Beyond disqualifying’: Jay Jones controversy jolts Virginia’s pivotal 2025 elections • Virginia Mercury
What began as a quiet October Friday in Virginia politics erupted into a full-blown national scandal when screenshots of private, three-year old text messages showing Democratic attorney general nominee Jay Jones fantasizing about shooting then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert and his children were...virginiamercury.com
Hold on I gotta call the context police to explain thisWhY dO tHeY cAlL uS nAzIs!?![]()
It looks like context matters. The US Military has always had the final purview for protecting Federal installations and employees when shit goes sideways. I do not agree with deploying Federal forces to stop crime that is not Federal-related.
It's funny that you Leftists track me in such detail. Rent free, apparently.

You truly believe the military was needed to "protect" the federal buildings? And that Trump didn't do it out of smite and as a publicity stunt?
Im heavily tattooed, shaved head, (Father Time took my once beautiful head of hair) and work at an mma gym. People will say some shit to me assuming I’m on their side based on how I look.
I need to tattoo my neck or head or something. 20 years ago I looked like a degenerate punk rocker, now I look like a cop or a proud boy
What is this thread, a Democrat circle jerk?
Can i denounce Hitler, or is that forbidden if i am a Republican?Well, now that you’re here…
Who the fuck are these psychopath losers? I hope all of their careers in politics are over with.

Realistically, at my age, 31 IS a kid.

Stop making everything about you and your Liberal Wife. If i was you i would have kicked that nutcase to the curb. I am glad i got a wife of 25 years that has the same values as me. And our 17 year old son, who already wants to join Turning point. I could not be more proud.It’s not and shouldn’t be necessary to have to denounce hitler. But it seems that I have to keep telling people I am not a conservative nor a liberal or that I hate trump and they still try to paint me as maga-ot at least someone does every single day.
If January 6th wasn't seen as a violent event, but everything else is, then that's why nothing is ever going to change. If people can justify that but denounce any other violent protest, then it's impossible to take those dumb fucks seriously.Are we a nations of laws or not?
