I know it’s tired to bring up “if Obama did it” but just imagine if he had sent the National Guard into republican cities that hadn’t asked for them

Alex Jones has been screaming about this for 25 years. But I guess he never really cared, as long as it was his side invading the cities.

Agree, we can't forget the Bundy Ranch standoff, loaded weapons pointed at greatly outgunned FBI and BLM, with shooters hiding behind children... And Hannity preaching them as freedom fighters. There would have been blood.

That whole thing was a clusterfuck. And Amon Bundy is a free man! I understand that they were trying to avoid another Branch Davidian/Waco or Ruby Ridge, but come on.

The accusation is always an admission. The turdheads weren’t against military occupation of cities, silencing of the public, restriction of movement, forced participation, etc. They want those things, as long as they’re done by those with similar ideologies.

That's really easy. Just ask yourself, "Which direction is the shadowy PAC-donation wind blowing most strongly right now?" That'll tell you exactly what he "believes." Greg Abbott is damned dangerous. Not only is he completely amoral, but he's also very smart. He worries me more than most.
