and got it labeled "offensive" and hidden behind a nag screen.

Damned cultists, they're getting really tetchy these days.

Good.

We can absolutely say what we want. You should be censored.

It's like the Nanny state thing. The don't like being told something is bad for you, but they'll force you to behave the way they want. Is that the abusive alcoholic father state?

No offensive language, no nudity, no racism, no anti-religion, nothing insulting to any interest group large or small. It's nothing but an echo (and reinforcement) of how we all feel about this despicable criminal! Criminal-in-Chief.

SCOTUS, armed militia's, and now because of SCOTUS Blue States like NJ where I live will see many more gun deaths. A large number of republicans I know have already applied for a firearm carry permit. Before SCOTUS over turned State laws that severely restricted concealed carry permits, NJ only granted about 2,000 permits a year. Now every NJ magat is rushing to get their carry permit, it's dangerous and disgraceful. Just happened to see a report from Fla where two dads involved in a road rage incident shot at each other. The problem is the dirt-bags shot and missed each other but hit their young daughters also sitting in the vehicles. This is going to be a common occurrence thanks to Republican SCOTUS.

life is in danger and it is legally justifiable to use deadly force in self defense. And you are correct, when being shot at might give cause to return gun fire, it's the innocent bystander who is most likely to suffer. Cops who are supposed to be trained in these situations have very poor accuracy rates. Republican SCOTUS members have put all our lives in danger in more ways than just allowing every nut job to carry a gun. I hope they personally have an occasion to suffer from the affects of their dangerous and erroneous decisions.

Definitely works as a "Quote of the Week"!

I'm always searching for good quotes or comments for the Call to Action email that my Indivisible group puts out for every new week.

Finding some OUTSTANDING ones here - both from the points DUers say and good quotes DUers use in their posts.

This isn't just a chat room, to me. It's a RESOURCE. (Although I do come for the chat part, too) .
