Jack booted thugs. Can't believe I'm using a term coined by Bush Sr., but that is what this looks like.


I suppose ole' Clarence is a bit worried right now.

I would call it stupid.
There have been very loud and disturbing calls for violence over the past few days and it is escalating.
Who knows if it is actionable or not, but I'd rather they be prepared and protect the grounds there.
Not everyone is using their head right now, and there are some people out there who will start trouble. If in doubt, see Jan 6th for reference. We don't need that right now.
Hopefully the protests go off really big and without violence because that will speak the loudest for us all.
Keep those video cameras running, and be on the lookout for abuses, that is also almost bound to happen.

I've seen a guy with a gun arrested. Has anyone else seen other threats or violence from women's rights advocates? I haven't seen mob violence from pro-choice/women's rights advocates. Calling in police in riot gear to protect 6 low-life mf is not necessary.

Instead of spending tax dollars to fully outfit the capital police to protect SCOTUS — money should have been spent to proactively send the members to New York.

Only when women are protesting their rights being taken away.
