saturday morning tiedrich tweet: "legitimate public discourse"



do I have this right? kneeling disrespects the flag, but beating a cop with a flag is 'legitimate political discourse'? maybe I'm new around here, but that sounds fucking nuts

on edit: a couple replies


they really don't believe it. they're liars. they saw what happened and they work hard trying to gaslight america. when repukes try to get you to question your sanity it is time to question theirs. (some of us have been questioning their sanity for years!)

What Tiedrich said is what I have been saying for quite sometime now to anyone who would listen!

For example, I had lunch with a Republican friend and her Republican friend about 6 months ago. The friend's friend brought up Kap and how atrocious his behavior was to kneel to the flag. And she said he needed to be ostracized for that. After her 5 minutes of pearl clutching, I said to her..."Do you realize that the same people that agree with you on that are also the same people who used said flag to gouge out an officer's eye on January 6th??!!"

Her jaw dropped and stayed hanging for a minute or so before she could meekly respond "That was terrible behavior at The Capitol." And then she changed the subject!

I hope no one in our party is too bashful to use the F word when describing their opponent. Fascists, that's what they are, and now they have to own it.

Seems to me this means you could walk up (pick Republican member of congress of your choice), punch them in the nose and claim it was political discourse!
