The flag appeared at the beginning of the Civil War. The state motto does date back to 1776.

And now Virginia has a tyrannical governor. What next?

Plenty of examples of hanging/burning Trump in effigy.

“Suffering just like Kansas”

Did anyone burn down any Kentucky towns and kill all the menfolk lately? You never know in this day and age.

Whitmer and Cuomo would both be great choices.

A bunch of patriots blew off some steam. The Governor should count himself lucky to have such patriots.

Presenting a mock severed head on national TV, having him Julius Caesared in a Shakespeare in the Park production, threatened to throw his youngest son into a cage with a pedophile. Oh, yes. Somehow, that’s not mentioned. Two wrongs don’t make a right, but two virtue signalers loudly condemning something don’t right a wrong, either.

the fact that it is a Booth quote is all that will matter.

It doesn't matter. They now need to make one up of McConnell hang that and set it on fire. Politicians have sold us out they should live in fear of us killing them.

Kinda like they've done with these never ending wars.

The days people worrying about "optics" are thankfully almost behind us.

Which means that voter fraud won. BTW, where we’re Republicans when the Griffin was holding a decapitated Trump?

We had a terribly corrupt administration under governor Beshear - our current governor’s dad.

He was replaced by governor Bevin. He was our “Trump, but more articulat”. He was a business man and one of his big pushes was to fix our state pension system that is almost as bad as Illinois. But the changes he was making, and good changes they were, were irritating the teachers.

Meanwhile, Andy Beshear was also elected AG at the same time and he ran the office like his office’s sole purpose was to fight everything Bevin tried to do.

So, He ran against bevin and got a LOT of the teacher vote as well as the families of the teachers. End result, out of 1.5 million votes, he won by 5,000.

The first thing we got from him: we only had one abortion clinic left and it was on the ropes. He approved construction of four more.

Kentucky is learning what most of us already knew: elections have consequences.

More importantly, where were the Democrats? Nancy wouldn’t even condemn the shooting of a colleague.

When elections are close, cheating is most effective to get the cheater over the line.

Since 1931 we have only had 4 Republican Governors and not one has been reelected.
Now you can see why Ky is near last in so many important things like education and job creation. We now have a republican in as Secretary of State. Maybe we can finally have fair elections and turn things around.

Kentucky Secretary of State Michael G. Adams (R) said. "The words of John Wilkes Booth have no place in the Party of Lincoln."

Maybe Kentucky needs a new (and more educated) Secretary of State as well.

"Sic Semper Tyrannis" was also the motto on the regimental flag for the 22nd United States Colored Infantry (USCI) of the US Colored Troops. Under their commander-in-chief, President Abraham Lincoln, the 22nd USCI fought in 1864-1865 at the battles at Petersburg and Richmond fighting for the Union. Later the 22nd USCI participated in President Lincoln’s funeral procession.

Did they file and receive a permit to protest?

Aren’t those the new rules these days when you disagree with your government?
