Violent threats against lawmakers have Congress on edge
The hill ^ | 09/03/2022 | Mike Lillis

Posted on 09/03/2022 11:11:36 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Rep. G.K. Butterfield was proud to be in Congress. Some years ago, the veteran Democrat installed a vanity message on his congressional license plate, broadcasting the district he represents: North Carolina 1.

In recent years, the number of menacing threats against sitting members of Congress has ballooned, forcing the Capitol Police to launch thousands of investigations; prompting a flood of new funding for lawmaker security back home and in Washington; and impelling lawmakers to take remarkable precautions to ensure they don’t become the next target of political violence.

After Using FBI To Suppress Son’s Crimes And Raid Political Rival’s Home, Biden Warns Democracy In Danger!

Babylon Bee ^ | 09/03/2022 | Babylon Bee

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Having politically weaponized federal law enforcement for his own political gain, President Biden has now taken to the airwaves to warn that democracy is in real danger.

“Folks, I’m using the feds as best I can to destroy my political opponents, but let me be clear: I’m going to have to break more laws and seize even more power if I’m going to stop fascism,” yelled President Biden, lighted in blood-red and surrounded by soldiers. “I don’t care if that means a federal takeover of elections, an overthrow of the judiciary - heck I don’t care if I have to use F-15s to carpet bomb every single Republican neighborhood in the country. We will forcibly commandeer every lever of power and communication our nation has - to, you know, defeat fascism.”

President Biden went on to call for the expulsion from democratic society anyone who questioned the integrity of an American election. “If you question an election’s fairness because our intel communities told media companies to bury damaging stories about me, or because COVID was used as an excuse to illegally change voting practices without legislative input, or because the FBI spied on Trump’s campaign after Democrats gave them a bogus dossier - then you have no place in civil society,” said Biden. “In fact, while we are at it, if you don’t support abortion through nine months, or the genital mutilation of children, you are an enemy of the state. And we will foment violent protests and assassination attempts to intimidate you - to save democracy.”

The Democratic National Committee, fresh off donating $40 million to elevate far-right campaigns, was reportedly taken aback by the comments. “Uh, yeah, those candidates we support are totally an existential threat to our nation, we really believe that,” said DNC chair Jaime Harrison. “Sure, we gave $40 million to elevate far-right candidates so we could use them as a pretext for seizing more power - but they are definitely the dangerous ones, not us.”

After calling Republicans subhuman, evil scum in need of annihilation, Biden then went on to say that America really needs to regain some unity and brotherhood.

” government SHOULD fear the people.”

Exactly. That’s why Tom Jeff is my favorite founding father. He knew politicians in the future deserve to get tarred and feathered.

Biden’s BEACH HOME is .34 of an acre-—About 14,000 sq ft.

HE is installing a “security Fence to the tune of $500,000 of taxpayer funds” there-—and it is NOT his main residence.

WHY should taxpayers have to pay for that??? The Biden corruption family can pay for it.

Illusions of Grandeur.

Illusions of actually being a President.

"This is all to SET UP A FALSE FLAG"

Biden is nothing but a sock puppet for his far left controllers, i.e. Soros, WEF, etc. Biden is totally expendable. In fact he will not run in the next election due to mental incompetence. If the left got rid of him via assassination and made it look like it was a conservative cabal that did it, the political dynamics of the next two years of election cycles would be totally altered.

One must always remember that to the left, THE END JUSTIFIES THE MEANS, ANY MEANS. Thus they turn a political disaster called Biden into a political plus. One must always remember the left Antifa and BLM burned and rioted with the approval of the top of the DNC. None condemned the actions. Kamala publicly supported their actions. She set up a bail fund for them. Cities burned, people died with approval and support of far leftist in positions of power. The left is capable of anything if they think it will be a benefit.

Burning of the Reich-Stag, it worked for Hitler. He had his Brown Shirts, our left has Antifa, BLM, FBI, CIA, and the Justice Department.

Is that Ray Epps calling in the death threats?

The FBI needs to get off their fat butts and find out who’s making ‘death threats’.

I’m guessing most of them fall into the “Jussie Smollett hate crime hoax Category” One more way for Biden and his goons to demonize conservative Americans.

OK FBI, put up or shut up. We want NAMES, Political Party membership and WHAT WAS SAID. EXACTLY.

Speaking of Jussie, when is he going back to jail? (That's a rhetorical question)

I forgot to add this for the FBI’s benefit. I in no way am an advocate of violence against the president.

Oh...so they are worried about and makes us fund THEIR security while we who pay their salaries are left to the whims of the violent and insane they refuse to prosecute and/or allow into our country while they promote defund the police policies.

People have good reason to be angry!

Did you notice in the over 500 riots done by liberals, BLM and Antifa that there was NOT one news story about ‘threats’... and yet dozens of people were murdered and over two billion dollars in damage was done to our cities.

I would suggest to FBI goons that they start looking at ‘things that have happened’ and NOT cheap meaningless ‘words’.

I would suggest to FBI goons that they start putting more emphasis on ‘things that have happened’ and NOT so much a cheap words that are almost always meaningless.
