”…The melee led to the deaths of five people and injuries to over 100 Capitol Police officers…”

There it is. The Lie. Again. They know it is a Lie. We know it is a Lie. They know that we know.

And yet they lie. How Soviet of them.

“Much Deadlier”

So 2 people will die instead of 1?

Deadlier?

Sure. Next time us uppity freedom lovers peaceably protest; Capitol police and the FBI will just open fire on us.

I doubt that many (if any) will read her trash. I skimmed it and it really went off the rails in the last two paragraphs. Brace yourself for sheer, unhinged lunacy...
Today's gun nuts are more in line with their slave-owning predecessors than they are with the empty "freedom" rhetoric that they espouse. The insurrection and the Big Lie are all about enforcing white supremacy. Thomas likely knows this and doesn't care, secure in the knowledge that his usefulness to the cause means he's personally spared the racist abuse and violence that his wife's beloved and ongoing coup is fomenting. After all, while the rest of us have to live in the increasingly violent society caused by loosening gun laws, Supreme Court justices get taxpayer-funded elite security protection.

Thomas is no idiot. He knows that right-wing groups across the country are arming themselves heavily and that, with Trump's cheerleading, they intend to keep using violence to aid the very same anti-democratic efforts his wife Ginni is still engaged in. So Thomas' radical anti-gun control opinion cannot be read in a vaccum. It should instead be seen as part of a larger push by the Thomases and their right-wing allies to destory democracy so that an authoriarian, paranoid, and well-armed minority can rule over the rest of us.

I guess one reason why the left lies so much is that not even Freepers realize the truth.

Ashley was not the only one killed that day by cops.

See Roseanne Boyland.

And yet, the only people who continue killing each other are Democrats in deep blue cities.

The only confirmed death directly attributed to Jan 6th was the murder of Ashley Babbitt.

I’d also include Rosaane Boyland, who was seemingly clubbed to death by the Capitol police. I’d also include the woman who lost her baby due to a miscarriage caused by the FBI Gestapo raiding her house during a pre-dawn raid.

The WHOLE PURPOSE of the citizenry being armed is so that those in power will be intimidated.

Because otherwise, the citizenry will be intimidated by those in power. And that has been the norm throughout history, because the kings and oligarchs had the armies to subjugate the people.

But when the PEOPLE are armed, it is THOSE IN POWER that can be subjugated (run out of town on a rail, thrown out of office, recalled, etc.)

Saloon and the leftists keep pushing toward it.

Too bad for them so many are sick of waiting to kick it off.
