WASHINGTON — After last week's deadly assault on the U.S. Capitol by supporters of President Donald Trump, members of Congress are expressing something once unthinkable: that some of their own colleagues may be endangering their lives. Not in a rhetorical sense, but in a direct and immediate way.

"It's the most poisonous I've ever seen," Rep. Don Beyer, D-Va., said in an interview. "There's the overall sense that maybe if some of them have guns — and likely the ones who are more into conspiracy theories and QAnon with the pedophilic satanic rings — are we safe from them?"

I love this story......

“Preston Brooks, a Southern congressman, beat Senator Charles Sumner with his cane until Sumner was bloody and unconscious. Sumner, an abolitionist from Massachusetts, had made a speech a few days before where he criticized Brooks’s uncle, who was also a southern senator. The public responds by sending hundreds of canes to Brooks.”

The public sent hundreds of shovels to a remote dirt road along a creek in the Middle-of-Nowhere IDAHO...

 It was a classic fin-de-siècle American protest: a staged telegenic moment steeped in Western symbolism.

 

Yee-hah!!!

 

The week before I visited, two county commissioners feuding over floor time at a public meeting had to be physically separated by the sheriff, and the former publisher of the local paper expressed his civic spirit by shooting an officer’s dog in the middle of town.

 

 

“They are neglected by the state and by the federal government, and they’re mad,” says Eric Herzik, a political scientist at the University of Nevada. “They’re out of the loop; decisions get made for them. It’s not unlike inner cities, whose needs don’t get heard until there’s violence.”

 

 “At what point do we cease to be free?”

The ‘Rats IN Congress want to be “Safe” but are more than willing to open the borders to all sorts of murderers and rapists.
