Students came to peacefully protest the Idaho State GOP Convention. Rep. Priscilla Giddings took a picture with them and posted it to FB with the following caption:
Idaho State University students peacefully protesting our Republican convention. Do you think I should show these girls the empty 30mm shell I have in the truck?

(51,590 posts)She is one sick and twisted monster! I am going to call her office and and confront her when she is back from this week off. NO ONE should be allowed to get away with this. Everyone should call theses dangerous, threatening GOP asses out on their "CIVILITY" constantly! We must take our country back! I don't even live in her state but I will do it to her and every last one of these vile creatures.
From the looks of it, word has spread and people are pretty pissed off at her sick post.

Giddings caption on the photo sparked outrage from many on social media, some feeling that she was making fun of the protestors and others who felt it was a thinly veiled threat against the women. Others are asking for her to hand in her resignation.
On Saturday, even as Giddings comments were being blasted in the media, the Idaho Republican Party honored her at the convention for her military service, the Idaho State Journal reported. Giddings is a former active duty Air Force pilot, combat veteran, and a current a member of the Idaho Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve.
The Idaho Democratic Party released a statement regarding Giddings post saying, The Idaho Democratic Party respects and upholds the Idaho State University students right to peaceful protest. We respect all Idahoans and would hope that anyone running for public office would as well.

(7,725 posts)Lot to learn about strategy from the videos. Seems like at one point, the "tip of the spear" ?) runs crossways through the back of the crowd and around the flank of the nazis right at the the counter demonstrators...then the pack goes after them. Good to know. Good to know. Turn about is fair play. We'll be ready for that next time.

She took the state homestead exemption on both houses, and you're only allowed to take it on one of them.

(7,217 posts)What the hell does that mean? "Ooooh! Look! A spent cartridge!"
If she has a 30mm weapon maybe she should shove it up her ass? Or Hoo-ha?
A 30mm cartridge has a width is almost twice the width of the .50 Caliber rounds in the M85 machine mounted in the turret of my M60A1 main battle tank (forerunner of the Abrams) that we would use on trucks or other lightly armored vehicles.
At 11" long the 30mm round is massive - usually found on platforms like the A10 Thunderbolt!!
It's unlikely she has, or has ever fired, a gun that big, so what the hell does she have one for if not a dildo?
