Stop embarrassing our country
To “Go fly a kite”: The reason Twitter and Facebook have blocked the “far right wing” Republicans posting on their sites is because they’re spreading conspiracies. It has nothing to do with taking away your rights, and everything to do with stopping lies, division and hate — something our country is experiencing because of this cultish behavior. Good grief, just behave like a real honest and compassionate human being on these sites, and the FBI wouldn’t have to get involved. Fly a true patriotic kite for a change. Stop embarrassing our country with your conspiracy garbage.
Ignore your subpoenas
I’ve got two comments about turning us into Venezuela. It says the Democrats are turning us into Venezuela faster than I imagined they could. Well, let me tell you my friend, it was your buddy Bone Spur who said let’s suspend the Constitution. That sounds pretty socialist to me. What do you think? And my second comment is to the Trump guy. He says that Trump had documents, and also was frustrated because he would not answer his subpoenas. That is why he was raided, and that is what we Democrats are going to do. We are going to ignore your subpoenas because if it worked for those Republicans, it should work for the Democrats.
Do what they’re told
I laugh at people who want to say they’re not going to defend the new law that Gov. Pritzker signed about the assault weapons. If they’re sharp policemen, their job is to do what they’re told. They don’t get the option not to do what they don’t want to do. If they don’t do their job, the law says then they should lose their pensions and everything.
Reorder the world
Once again, the “I’m better than you crowd,” in America — we call them Democrats — were in Davos, Switzerland meeting on how to fight against any truth being disseminated so that they can reorder the world to fit their agenda. The clear and present danger of disinformation is in the hands of the elite who only want you to hear their disinformation so they can control what you hear.
Get rid of them
I read about this misguided effort about the guns. If there’s a law that says no AR-15s or assault rifles, they have the right in my opinion to go to anybody’s home, anybody’s business and if you have one you have it taken away. Or you turn it in. I’m sorry. That’s about the only way you’re going to do it. You get caught; you get fined. Gun shops get caught selling them, or even having them, they get fined and then they have every one of them taken off their shelves. If you don’t stop this assault rifle stuff, we’re going to have more mass shootings. This is crazy. Nobody needs one of them. I have a hunting rifle and a pistol, and that’s all I need. I don’t know what you need for protection. If you’re that worried about protection, maybe you ought to go somewhere else. That’s crazy. To have a weapon like that with all those magazines is just crazy. Get rid of them.
