    You’ve got exceptionally broad powers, King Biden. What are you going to do about it?

    I don’t doubt there are lots of contingency planning going on, and it’s not always good to make those plans public, but I’d sure feel better knowing there are plans to combat the certain fuckery

      Leading up to Jan 6th there were weeks of MAGA’s posting openly about their plans across social media, then the day came and it turned out there was zero contingency planning.

      The most powerful “intelligence” and surveillance apparatus in history just let it happen… I know this, because I live on the opposite side of the planet, and knew a coup attempt was guaranteed from nothing but reddit links to other social media.

    Why would they resort to violence after the brutal and crippling wrist slaps the J6ers got?

    Surely that was enough to deter anyone from going into extreme fits of political violence!

    Vance couldn’t even bring himself to say Trump lost. So it is clear there won’t be a peaceful transfer of power. No how much respect Dems try to show them.

      My greatest fear is that anti-gun liberals don’t have the guts to actually resist fascism when push comes to shove.

        I think when it comes to gun ownership, democrats have just as many. They just don’t post lewd gun-fetish pics as frequently.

        That and democrat gun owners are well aware that there needs to be regulation and enforcement.

    Oh man, if only biden knew someone in a position of power that had a responsibility to not let that occur. Oh well. So sick of democrats throwing up their hands and tripping over their dicks. We’re going to shrug our way into global fascism.

    Stochastic terrorism. That’s what he and Vance are knowingly exercising. That seems like something that should be dealt with, regardless of the political implications. People have died because of Trumps liberal and deliberate use of this form of communication to his batshit legion.

    But then again, nothing makes sense any more. The reality that this race is as close as it is sums it all up, I suppose. To quote NOFX, The idiots are taking over.
