Petulant leftists can't believe they lost the presidential election. Now, they are somehow justifying in their minds the breaking of federal laws and putting themselves forward as heroic when they obstruct justice. The obstructionist mayors and governors are enjoying a season of open insurrection. I'm from the South. I know that the first tastes of rebellion are sweet but going forth without a clear picture of the end game leads to peril.
Seditious speech exists on the fringes of free speech. We are not free to yell fire in a crowded theater and hate speech that leads to assassination(s) won't be tolerated forever. One would do well to read about what Lincoln REALLY did during the civil war. Seditious talk in the north led to imprisonment. He shut down 300 newspapers all in the name of preserving the union.
It's fine to hate Trump but it should not be seen as productive. In the end Trump et al have the law on their side. Immigration enforcement isn't the most popular thing right now. People hated prohibition too, but in the case of prohibition people worked to change the law. I don't see any legislation being introduced to ease the immigration crisis.
So... what we have are laws being enforced by people you hate. We have people obstructing the enforcement of those laws. Finally we have elected officials encouraging the obstruction. This is insurrection. Meanwhile, some on the left have seen the end game clearly and are predicting that Trump will put troops in the streets etc. while all the while they are creating the situation that will force the use of the insurrection act.
All the "I told you so's" in the world won't help you then. You and your fellow travellers will go to prison (should you choose to obstruct justice). All of this confusion in the streets will only lead to real people with families being shot or imprisoned. Order will be restored and recalcitrant US citizens will rot in jails.
If you want to see the difference between liberals and conservatives, look at the Saturday events of patriotism, love fests really, and compare them to the reaction of Your Leader Trump the Disgusting.
Are you proud of that infantile and nasty response? You follow him.
No doubt there were some very nice people at No Kings. But, aside from those who were interviewed and had no idea why they were there, did you notice the ones celebrating Charlie Kirk's murder and calling him a bigot and a racist and Trump Hitler and MAGA Nazis? Previously did you see their brethren viciously attacking ICE agents and attempting to assassinate Trump and actually assassinating Charlie?
I'll grant that the No Kings rallies were "mostly peaceful", but they were largely full of hate for Trump and MAGA. So Trump posts a scatalogical meme whose absurdity mocks the absurdity of the whole idea of "No Kings" (everyone knows Trump is not a king and is in no danger of becoming one), and the Left loses its mind. The Left cannot laugh at poop being dumped on them, but they laugh at pantomimes of Charlie and Trump being shot. They project their hate onto others and call them the haters, while calling themselves saints (if they believed in saints.)
Stop it! Nobody laughed at the assassination of Kirk. But he opined:
Charlie Kirk: "I think it's worth it. I think it's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights."
People laughed, cheered, celebrated, etc. It was widespread and pretty disgusting. I can’t stand the governor of my state, but if someone assassinated him, you would see no cheering from me. I’m not built like that.
Some did indeed laugh and cheer at Charlie's murder. They were on TV and Social Media. You can't cherry-pick the facts.
Charlie's point was that liberty is worth dying for, if one has to. (The 2nd Amendment is fundamental to liberty.) That's not hate. That's the recognition that liberty comes at a price. Bottom line: if you asked Charlie was his death worth defending the 2nd Amendment (and the Constitution in toto) he'd say yes. "Give me liberty, or give me death." He'd rather no one die, like any sane person. But freedom is not free. That's not hate. That's taking responsibility. The hate is all on one side, as far as I can tell.
PS. What Charlie said about guns you can say about cars: a number of car deaths every year is worth the freedom for everyone to drive cars. And isn't the freedom of self- defense far more important than the freedom to drive cars? You see??
Very well said. If the Left calls Trump Hitler and MAGA Nazis, your calling the Democrats and the Deep State The Leviathan seems more than fair. Especially when Trump is enforcing Federal Law and Sanctuary Cities are defying it.
Charles should note that you did not call the citizens of Chicago Leviathan, but rather their Democratic leaders. And ICE is hardly a Deep State organization. And conservatives believe in states' rights, but not the nullification of federal law. That's called Anarchy. Recall the Civil War.
Wait a second. Trump is deploying ICE, a deep state organization if there ever was one, to terrorize the citizens of Chicago, and may soon send the national guard and the Army, and you say the citizens of Chicago represent Leviathan? That is beyond idiocy. Your blather about citizen street armies is simply psychotic. And remember, most of the illegals in Chicago were sent there by Greg Abbott.
In my opinion, conservatives believe in a small national government and states' rights. I don't know what you are, but you are no conservative
ICE is not going after undocumented immigrants any more than Trump's deportations are focused on the "bad guys." They are rousting everybody, even citizens, especially those with brown or black skin. And only those in democratic cities. Oh, and incidentally, they are shooting priests. Welcome to Air Strip One. Under Trump, lies are truth.

ICE is Trump's own Schutzstaffel.
Down-vote white text on black background! Hard to read. Just do it like everyone else, please, and maybe I'll read to the end
I like it.

Illegal invaders are NOT citizens of Chicago. Quit your lies, please.

"And remember, most of the illegals in Chicago were sent there by Greg Abbott." Put down the meth pipe.
I don't understand. I don't take drugs, except prescriptions. Do you use meth, or maybe, blow?
And you are no sentient being
Say what?
Who will except this monster Demon Democrat
