One man from South Carolina purportedly left a message in which he said, “I hope you die. I hope everybody in your f-—ing family dies.”

Uh ya no,
That’s not a threat
It’s a wish

But then reality and facts and literacy are anethma to proggy commie crooked con men.

I wonder if this idiot realizes that the last big ‘infrastructure’ bill didn’t build squat. Only funded RAT reelection scams. This one will only be worse.

Threats are not enough.

My thought exactly. Forget threats, that POS needs to feel some real pain.

It used to be only LIBERALS who did this kind of thing to conservatives, but when you piss off your base you want to whine when patriots use the tactics against you for selling out?

“That’s not a threat
It’s a wish”

Yep, that’s my belief too.

“I hope you die. I hope everybody in your f-—ing family dies.”

That is not a death threat. That is wishful thinking. Sadly it includes his niece, Kate. Oh well.

With regards to the bill itself and the alleged infrastructure spending....

Michigan would receive about $10 billion in federal funding over the next five years, including $7.3 billion from federal highway programs, and another half billion for bridge replacements and repairs.....it would be awesome to track every penny of that. Yet another reason President Trump was removed. He’d demand, and get, responsibility and accountability for every penny and the progress of each program.

Why can’t the people of Michigan pay that themselves? They’re the ones using it. To answer my own question....Because government on every single level, in this country, is so completely corrupt and incompetent, that’s why. Even at the most local level they are incapable of being good stewards of the people and the people’s money.

There’s absolutely ZERO reason why stuff like this cannot be financed with a SPLOST and a sunset clause. But, the perps in office and agencies gotta get paid and dole out some money to their donors and buddies. Those bribes and “campaign donations” don’t pay for themselves you know.

When you represent the GOP and vote against our Republic ... well, Freddie, what did you expect? Courtesy? Understanding? Compassion? ... You deserve none of these when you vote with the America-/American-hating Democrat/Communist Party members.

Agree. These cretins SHOULD fear the people.

When it all comes crashing down, those Bolsheviks in the media will be the first to go.

Not a single one will escape what’s coming.

The calls began when fellow GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, of Georgia, posted Upton’s phone number online following the vote. She called him and the other 12 Republicans who voted for the bill “traitors.”
...........................................
We should all thank Almighty God there is still at least ONE GOP Representative in Congress with a set of BALLS! President Trump should choose her as his running mate in 2024!

I can imagine some spicy calls and emails but death threats NO WAY!! These frigging men are a bunch of cry babies lead by Kinsinger what a frigging PANSY he is!!

Don’t be worried about threats be worried when the American people get sick of massive corruption in DC.

Threats of violence are uncalled for. What is called for a threat to primary him, calls for him to resign, action by Republicans to remove him from all House committee and leadership assignments, and withhold any and all Republican party funding and support, e.g., access to mailing lists. Boot him from the party and from Congress.
......................................................
Well and truly said. Moreover the only person who has alleged a threat of violence is Upyurs himself. Has this cretin provided any EVIDENCE of such a threat? Didn’t think so.

So what?

Our Freedom and Sovereignty is under daily attack from the Communist Infiltrators within our own government.

I am far more concerned about that.
