Early it was mob violence toward property... Bank of America, Starbucks, cars. And there was no consequence from the law.

Then it was violence toward Trump supporters. They were assaulted, beaten with bike locks, blind-sided with fists, etc. the police did not even attempt to stop the violent attacks. Indeed, they watched. And there was no consequence from the law.

Now it’s assassination attempts, threatening emails, white powder envelopes... will the law get after these offenses?

What will the left do next?

The liberals have long stated that "all politics is war."

I only wish Mr. Nixon had been smart enough to hire professionals. We know that there was collusion between democrats and members of the Supreme Soviet. College students were enamored with reading and speaking from "The Little Red Book." Our enemy has long been identified in this war.

This is stuff the Nazis used to do.

Earth Whores.

Wow, just wow. They are not going to stop.

Hopefully it will galvanize our actions and appall those sitting on the fence.

The Rat terrorists are behind the times. Fox has already been overtaken by the Left and is now one of their allies.

Lordy, it’s time to start machine gunning these vermin when they pull this crap.

” They are not going to stop.”

Nope, for them the war has been on since Nov. 8.

They don’t expect anyone to fight back.

[Sarah Barracuda]

Yesterday proved they are not going to stop. The only reason why yesterday wasn’t a total bloodbath was because the shooter had bad aim and there was security there, otherwise you would have had 20 dead GOP members of Congress..seeing the left on twitter yesterday, cheering the shooter, calling him a hero..this is what the Commie left is about..and we are supposed to “Coexist” with them..tell me how we are supposed to coexist with people who want us DEAD

What is this connected to? Terrorists? Pranksters? White powder could be anything.

It’s open season on Republicans.

I work 2 miles from there and drive right past the entrance to the neighborhood. A few miles past there I was passed by 5 police SUV’s and a 1st responder vehicle traveling close to 80 mph with full lights and sirens. This explains why...
