.... the secret service shot Melania at the order of billy barr. Barr said, I am the law and order Atty. Gen. so I was obligated to give the order to shoot. Even though Michelle Obama is a Fascist Lib,.. it was her tomato.

and they have put in a coal powered generator running 24/7 for no other reason than to 'own the libtards'.

if they came from the plants she put in. She who does the work, reaps the benefits.

As a matter of general real estate law concerning crops, when you sell a farm, the growing crops remain the property of the seller and the same principle would apply to a home owner's vegetable garden. The intent to harvest them, however, should be clearly stated in the deal.

Seeing as how the WH is OUR house, I give permission to Michelle to go pick her damn tomatoes! Hands off, Malaria.

(Sadly, tho, isn't that where the new tennis pavilion is going?)

Snip......

A senior administration official confirmed to CNN's Dana Bash that there was active shooter and the shooter is in custody.

The incident happened at the corner of 17th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW, just outside of the White House grounds close to Lafayette park.

...but, still, when the Secret Service tells you to take cover, you do so. Had he refused, they would have grabbed him and hustled him off to safety -- and that would not have been a very flattering visual on live television.

I get the comedic value of the picture you're painting here, but the potential risk to both the innocent and guilty such action would impose aside (and that's a seriously unacceptable risk), to do what you are suggesting here would be, by definition, an act of terrorism.


WAY over the line.

the line of suggesting acts that would, by definition, be terrorism.

I savor the thought of him cowering in fear like the coward he is as much as anyone here, but "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims" is the literal definition of terrorism.

Moreover, it is EXACTLY the kind of thing they're trying to pin on the BLM protests by labelling them "ANTIFA terrorists".

Now I'm sure this was probably said in jest, but it crosses a line we should not allow ourselves to cross, even as a joke.
