Paul Gosar’s own siblings have repeatedly spoken out and warned us that he is an extremist. Six of them, if six people tell you their own damn brother is dangerous believe them.

you’re talking about the disgusting video where he showed a likeness of himself striking biden? was it with a sword?

thats unbelievably inappropriate, but it’s not threatening to kill him, unless he said something like “ Biden this is what’s coming.”.

Kathy Griffin joked about cutting Trumps head off. She didn’t threaten to do so.

mind boggling he thought that was ok though.

Jim I agree with “99% of what you said however Kathy Griffin is a comedian not a sitting member congress

agreed, a sitting member of congress should be held to a higher standard. he deserves to be punished.

but unless you’d say Griffin threatened Trumps life, you can’t say this idiot threatened Biden’s life. And I’d bet big that spence dismissed griffins actions as a tasteless but harmless joke. but more people know who she is, than this idiot congressman.

we always agree when i’m bashing republicans. never, ever when i’m bashing democrats.

Jim not all threats are equal

And this is where you and I disagree

That everything is equal . All the time

What’s the point?

I have said it before sometimes your arguments lack nuance .

That’s why the FBI will conduct a Threat assessment and they will decide if it’s a threat or not . It’s what they do

i don’t recall saying everything is equal. and you were the one who said you agreed with 90% of my post, so now i don’t know what we were agreeing on, so
never mind.

what kathy griffin did was ok. she’s a democrat.


my arguments lack nuance. from a guy whose every post, is pro democrat and anti republican. that’s nuanced?

i believe biden won.

seems to me, that people are figuring out all by themselves, the dystopian nature of today’s liberalism. not everybody watches foxnews wayne, on a good night they get 3 million viewers, which is 1% of the us population.

you think republicans are fabricating the sense of dystopia. you better hope you’re right.

When VA parents see that their children are being told to read a book in elementary school called “Not My Idea”, which literally equates whiteness with satanism, and then those parents are told that critical race theory isn’t being taught in school and that they’re therefore lying…well if democrats are doing that, can they really be surprised when they lose elections?

is that a winning strategy?

Jim Republicans are just lying 24x7 it’s no hard to find from big bird
To this latest Stunt..

If it didn’t work on Republicans voters or if this wasn’t what Republicans want to see and hear .. we wouldn’t be seeing it..

Even you are a RINO in the new Trumplican GOP

Republicans want a dystopian future
Where elections only are fair if they win. The truth is what they say it is .

And the only why to save American
Is to install an Authoritarian leader who will drain the swap ( code for removing the Congress a taking over the judiciary and if need be put the military on the streets…


And the vast number of Republicans are all In . thinking they are Patriots saving the UNITED STATES.

And it’s all happening in plan view

is it lying to say that racially divisive gargage is taught in VA public schools? all those parents, some of whom are registered democrats, are lying?

wayne, you cannot accept that any criticism of democrats is accurate. it all must be lying.

“drain the swamp is code for removing congress”…

“taking over the judiciary” - i’m sorry, trump isn’t allowed to fill judicial vacancies?

multiple presidents have “put military on the streets.”

now who’s lying? now who’s spreading nonsensical hysteria? You.

Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh, the closest living adult to Wally Cleaver you’ll ever find. And democrats painted him as a monster.

So i’m not sure where you get the idea that only republicans engage in hyperbole. I remember plenty of liberal hysteria during the trump years.

Wally Cleaver?
The FBI sent 4500 tips on Kavanaugh to the White House, didn’t investigate at all.
You’re dreaming if you think he’s not an entitled prep school kid.

You do realize he spent 3 years working for Ken Starr on Whitewater and now his opinion is that sitting Presidents should not be investigated.
Did you ever read the questions he proposed?

wayne, you cannot accept that any criticism of democrats is accurate. it all must be lying. [COLOR="Red"] a Lie is not a criticism its a lie

“drain the swamp is code for removing congress”…

“taking over the judiciary” - i’m sorry, trump isn’t allowed to fill judicial vacancies? Again your not paying attention to what republicans expect his appointed judges to do! they expect fidelity to a Trump..

multiple presidents have “put military on the streets.” yes Jim it's happened 6 time in our History .. Again Everything's the same. none were in support to overthrow an election that's what Trumplicans what they want

now who’s lying? now who’s spreading nonsensical hysteria? You.



Trump nominated Brett Kavanaugh, the closest living adult to Wally Cleaver you’ll ever find. And democrats painted him as a monster.

Thats your measurement of Character a Fictional person from Leave it to Beaver? another Conservatives who whats to go back in time to the 50s when America was America


So i’m not sure where you get the idea that only republicans engage in hyperbole. I remember plenty of liberal hysteria during the trump years.

When trump spoke and the world listened the next day.. All the world heard was OH!! it was all Hyperbole

But again you think Hyperbole from a Sitting POTUS is equal to any hyperbole from just a Democrat .

"No jim they are missed informed BY GOP LIES thinking something is happening and knowing its happening are 2 different things"

So the parents who say that their kids read that book in class, are all wrong? Every single one of them, was hypnotized by the GOP to believe their kids read that book? Parents are too stupid to see for themselves, what their kids are being taught in school? CNN has a better idea than the Loudon County parents, of what's being taught in those schools?

Whew. I mean, whew.

Nothing that paints the left in a bad light, can be valid. Nothing. I mean, you are out there Wayne, really really out there. You know better than those parents, what their children are being taught.

"your not paying attention to what republicans expect his appointed judges to do! they expect fidelity to a Trump the constitution."

Fixed it.

Give me some examples, please, of Trumps judges violating the constitution, to show fidelity to Trump. I am very, very curious to see what you come up with. I'm dying to know.


"Thats your measurement of Character a Fictional person from Leave it to Beaver?"

Kavanaugh was obviously a decent and good man. Look what your side did to him.

"nother Conservatives who whats to go back in time to the 50s when America was America"

Guilty as charged, you got something right in that rant.

"But again you think Hyperbole from a Sitting POTUS is equal to any hyperbole from just a Democrat"

Fine. So when Hilary said tens of millions of Americans are deplorable, and when Biden said Republicans want to put blacks back in chains, how come you're OK with that?
