In another place and time, that ‘empty rhetoric’ would have been considered ‘fair warning’. Who knows, it just might have worked out that way this time around, too.

The frozen faced Lesbian Bolshevik shows her real “tolerance” - men with guns.

Does anyone agree to be ruled and bullied by trash like her?

“I get the point of their cause. I do. But using empty rhetoric like this.... Not a good idea.”

Well, what would you say? Something less offensive? I guess if they are triggered that takes on a whole new meaning.

Cooling down the tensions means zipping your lip while criminal democrats flood your nation with foreigners and ruin it forever. See Europe.

re: suggesting he would shoot and potentially kill

Yeah, no bias here. Did he say it or not?

Showing a significant 'lack of depth' there, Zuben .

“This is what I told the superintendent,” Boquist said, referring to OSP Superintendent Travis Hampton. “Send bachelors and come heavily armed. I’m not going to be a political prisoner in the state of Oregon. It’s just that simple.”

I would imagine that if an Oregon legislator is snatched in Florida, Florida kidnapping law would apply.

“...for the longest time I thought the idea of a CWII was just FReepers needing therapy.”

You’re woke. Good.

It’s not us needing therapy; it’s us being aware of the coming storm — the strengthening wind, the lightning and thunder, the growing darkness —and speaking out loud about it.

Well speak for yourself :)

I may see the big picture now but I still need therapy!

But I just complain to my bartender instead :)

As a quote, it’s up there with “If they mean to have a War, left it begin here.”

A Republican with some large onions for sure. Good to see it.

It would be nice to cool down these tensions. Compare the amount of people we lost in the first Civil War/War between the States and those we lost in all other wars. Just about everyone calling for another one of those would regret it very shortly after it got hot, if it did.

Yes, this.

"I get the point of their cause. I do. But using empty rhetoric like this.... Not a good idea."

Thugs with badges, willing to violate their sworn oath to "Preserve, Protect and Defend" the Constitution, for their Communist masters, are targets.

Get used to the concept. Once it starts, Communists and Conservatives will be coming home to a burned house and a massacred family. Democrats don't know, or can't imagine this.

, suggesting he would shoot and potentially kill any state trooper sent to haul him unwillingly back to the Capitol.

Can’t imagine this guy means it but it is, pretty much, the attitude of the Trooper or any cop, so that makes them even.

Oh man... this guy is a retired SF LTC and runs a modern day Flying Tigers organization. If he’s not a friggin’ MERC, he sure a heck works with some which means he’s most likely connected to some pretty powerful and nefarious critters. He has combat experience and seems to take absolutely zero crap off anyone.

I would take him at his word... full value!

Threatening the Republican Senators was not throwing gas on the fire but when a GOP Senator says he will not go willingly, that is throwing gas on the fire????? Typical fish wrapper interpretation.

I just read the article. I really like this guy Boquist. He needs a national stage.
