My headline above paraphrases somewhat the insane position of Congressman Dan Goldman (D-New York), but so slightly that I think I can be forgiven. In a tweet posted earlier this week, Goldman’s reaction to a new federal task force aimed at investigating and catching the terrorists who have been firebombing Tesla dealerships and vandalizing Tesla cars was as follows:
This is the political weaponization of the DOJ. Trump uses his official authority to defend his benefactor Elon Musk. The FBI then creates a task force to use our law enforcement to “crack down” on adversaries of Musk’s.
Where are the Republicans so opposed to “lawfare”?
In other words, any effort to stop leftist rioters, looters, and vandals is misuse of government power, and is thus further justification for more leftist rioting, looting, and vandalism. According to Goldman, these thugs have the right to do anything they want to hurt Elon Musk, his businesses, his products, and his customers, simply because Musk no longer supports the Democratic Party and is trying to eliminate the fraud and corruption that has been impregnated within the entire federal government by that very party.
This is the Democratic Party today, a supporter of violence, censorship, and brutality, all in the name of gaining power. Nor is Goldman an exception at the top. His party’s base is all in on this violence. If anything, it is unhappy that the party leadership has not been more aggressive in resisting Trump. For example, a new poll shows that Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-New York) — dyed-in-the-wool communist and supporter of Hamas — now “best reflects the core values of the Democratic Party.” And those polled also ranked almost as highly the rest of the party’s most radical leaders, including Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, Hakeem Jeffries, and Jasmine Crockett. The last two have been very open about advocating violence against Republicans and their supporters. Apparently rank-in-file Democrats agree.
Goldman is merely tapping into that base, saying what they want to hear in order to gain their support.
Lawyer and political analyst Jonathan Turley, in posting his own disgust at Goldman’s tweet, maybe said it best:
Goldman’s latest controversy captures how Democrats have now entirely cut the cords of decency and moderation that once tethered their party to the mainstream of our society.
Hey, but who cares? Trump and Musk must be “literally Hitler!”, and thus any means necessary to destroy them and their allies is completely justified. Go Democrats! Show us your tolerance by assaulting innocent bystanders! ...SNIP
The democRATs have been violent even before they fired on Ft. Sumter.
Go ahead. My dad always said, “Be careful what you wish for.”
Democrats: “We have the right to vandalize Teslas, and if you try to stop us you are fascists, because criminal acts are a form of freedom of expression and my 1st Amendment right!”
You college educated student loan deadbeats are supposed to “experts” on the Constitution. Please show us where it gives you “da right” to vandalize Teslas. I’ll show you where I get the right to defend my property with firearms if necessary.
Musk is just the high-profile face of Tesla. Other stakeholders, the families of dealers, and the often lefty owners of many Teslas are also victims of these terrorist acts. Prosecute! Perhaps the thought of a decade in prison will deter these idiots from their juvenile behavior. Perhaps not...but if they’re that deranged, the rest of us shouldn’t be subject to their violent whims.
“We have the right to vandalize Teslas, and if you try to stop us you are fascists!”
Democrats stick to their golden rule BLAME OTHERS OF WHAT YOU DO.
The Babylon Bee has a sad.
They missed a headline.
What happened to “Your right to swing your fist stops at my nose.”? Oh, wait...leftist double standards....never mind.
Do
If people burn and vandalize the cars of Dan Goldman staff and voters…that’s protected protest?
I make Bleeding Kansas as the kick off to the democrats party being a party of violence. Would anyone propose an earlier starting point? Of course their resistance to Reconstruction, then Jim Crow, were violent, but it took the injection of modern socialist/ Marxist ideology to really turbocharge their violence

The DEMONrat party seems to really HATE those who do not support them, and wants to “put them back in chains” when they exercise their Constitutional right to “freedom of speech”!
My leftist church minister preaches that setting fires is an appropriate form of “backburning for social justice”, no different than other forms of social activism or freedom of expression.
Thanks for causing Jasmine “The Crock’s” birthday party to fizzle yesterday. I’ll bet the “F” bombs were flying in the Crock House yesterday. LOL.
...because burning down black churches is no longer fashionable.
“...and voters”
Probably 99% of Tesla owners voted Democrat.
leftists vandalizing leftist’s property
while it gives me a chuckle
i will always stand up for law and order
Sounds like the Hitler Youth credo
Liberals have always said they have the sole and exclusive right to “mostly peaceful” protesting by destroying the properties of innocent third parties.
That they’re doing it again isn’t shocking, it’s expected. We should call them on it at every opportunity, see if we can get the popularity rating of liberals under that of Congress.
