I wonder what he means by "We have a Second Amendment in this country, and I think we have an obligation to use it."
Nah, i don't really wonder about either of these things. Gaetz is just using the trump playbook of 'say crazy stuff to get attention'. Does he says these things without thought or concern as to whether 'fringe' elements will take his statements literally, or is this more along the lines of the 'who will rid me of this meddlesome priest' scenario? I wouldn't put either past him.

Idiot politician says something dumb --> dumb supporter does something dumb --> people accuse idiot politician of being responsible --> idiot politician defense: 'no reasonable person would have taken me literally' --> rinse/repeat

Except that they just had an armed insurrection and Gaetz was right in the middle of it. I don't know why people keep forgetting that this just happened like 4-5 months ago.

Conservatives have a plug-and-play response ready to go. Always have had.

Remember this guy?

First we'll get, "Who among us can say what inspired them? Really, who? It's an unknowable mystery."

Then, when it becomes obvious, we'll transition to, "Mental problems. So sad. America has such a terrible mental health issue."

"Thoughts and prayers"

Republican politicians haven't forgotten, they just want people to forget because it's not politically good for them. They know full well that the Democrats will use it to win votes in 2022.

It's a pretty cramped little corner they are stuck in now trying not to let the 6 Jan events get any oxygen, trying to keep trump on their side, but also not wanting trump to get too much airtime since all he can do is wail and whine about his 'landslide' election theft.

That was Cesar Sayoc, right? This guy.

When house prices went up under Trump, the right declared it a sign of a strong economy. Now that house prices are going up under Biden, the right are decrying it as inflation.

Biden: ‘I’m a capitalist, but here’s the deal’​



Lol :ROFL: :ROFL: :ROFL:

Exactly the same as Putin saying he is a Democrat but here's the deal....

Only difference between the two is that Putin is not as senile as to saying stupid things like that. America is in big trouble.

Hey my dude, how's the weather there in St Petersburg? Hope your shift supervisor is treating you well in the disinformation farm. Anyway, good luck with meeting your targets this month!

It's ironic that you cite Putin, as it is generally recognised that Trump is an agent of his.

Race-baiting, disinformation, and straight-up lies...

I got bored of picking out the clickbait highlights four pages into the *nine* pages of search results for threads you've started.

You joined in January *this* year.

You're the very definition of suspicious online behaviour.

Very disingenious of you to only select a few articles. What about all the others? Or do they not suite your narrative. Wonder who is the suspicious one or liar here....
