Your federal government has declared that anyone legally carrying a firearm while filming a law enforcement operation is an "assassin" whose intent is to "murder federal agents."

Exercising your First and Second Amendment rights simultaneously is now the Trump Administration's legal justification for killing you, and then publicly smearing you.

Are you paying attention?

of guns by citizens. That's their only basis for this stupid claim. The guy legally had a gun on him, but the only thing in his hand was a phone. They grabbed the gun from wherever it was on his body and then shot him. Where are all the 2nd amendment lovers? Shouldn't they be concerned if carrying a gun legally automatically makes you a threat in the eyes of the wannabe king?

I live in Cincinnati and Springboro is a neighboring community. During the campaign, Vance bore false witness against these neighbors, claiming they eat cats. Spouting false piety and donning Catholicism like its a party hat, he unrepentedly and flagrantly violated one of the Ten Commandments. He's a bigot, a liar and slanderer, and a hypocrite. To quote Maya Angelou, "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

Thiel has declared that 'democracy cannot be trusted' and his company Palantir is developing technology that will turn America into a surveillance state.

Because they're doing nothing to broaden their base.

Quite the opposite.. they seem to be actively signaling support to the most extreme elements of the base.

Must be hoping to stay in power by force but Vance doesn't have the cult following Trump has. JD is going down.
