They say "well, they are making violent threats!". <br /><br />OK, fine. We have ways of dealing with that within the criminal court system. We always have. If they break a law by making an actionable threat of violence, then arrest them and charge them. But that is NOT terrorism, and to claim otherwise is to say that essentially any threat of violence is terrorism. Given the ample tools in our federal government's arsenal to combat" terrorism" outside of the bounds of our established criminal and civil legal system, this is essentially advocating for a suspension of that system, and the application of a war-time law to these people, simply for having strong political beliefs that the left doesn't agree with. <br /><br />As I've always said, the left never seems to understand that they won't have power forever, and that they're essentially abolishing our legal system out of political convenience without recognizing that the next DOnald Trump is going to have these same powers that they are taking for themselves, now. <br /><br />Being angry at a school board meeting, and even making violent threats at a school board meeting, IS NOT FUCKING TERRORISM, and anyone saying it is is literally a dangerous threat to this country.

Will they change to fill the role? <br /><br /> I certainly wouldn't mind seeing greater emphasis on job performance in civil appointments being encouraged by actual consequences. In private employment such as the trades, the level of abuse shown by school boards to their constituents, for example, would be met with a swift and thorough ass-kicking at best. <br /> I've certainly relieved myself into a cracked car window for less. <br />Paul, Dammit!https://www.blogger.com/profile/02264872375942355609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-46309948893310949942021-10-13T20:20:32.794-04:002021-10-13T20:20:32.794-04:00Hey Borepatch;

They watched Their electeds go to DC and betray them, too.<br />Boomers are not at fault.
