    So let me get this straight, a lady in Texas upsets an insurance company and gets arrested for threats. Someone makes, hangs, then posts this and it’s fine?

    The Fauci hate from Trumpets is absolutely bizarre. Trump hired Fauci for his Corona virus task force. Trump could have fired him at any time.

    But saying 3 little words to a random call center agent is considered terrorism? Fuck our legal system.

    You don’t need to be a Christian to question the mental stability of someone who decorates their home with lynched effigies of people they hate.

    I was checking out at the grocery store the other day when the cashier wished me a Merry Christmas. I replied with, “happy holidays!“

    She was visibly upset.

    It’s beyond me why some people are like this.

    Happy holidays? Inclusive of multiple beliefs.

    Merry Christmas? Well, Christ is right there.

    Invoking the yule cat? Ominous, but not overly threatening assuming you receive some new clothes.

    Invoking the yule lads? Well, that is a bit worse. Better keep a yule log burning through the night.

    So I’m confused, is saying you want the elite to die something the right-wing talking heads are in favour of, or is it beyond the pale? Because they’ve gotten awfully inconsistent about this one in the past few weeks.

        The tweet in question came from a (former?) US Republican congressman. Derrick Evans. He was also there on Jan 6 if a cursory Internet search is to be believed.

    Damn, my inlaws wanted xmas photos of all the family holding guns. They did this before. Even at the time i thought, “i dont think this conveys good will towards man” as well as you may think. I just wore my anarchy raccoon shirt :)

    It’s barbaric for sure, but isn’t that Christian behavior? For starters, they decorate their rooms with a replica of the mangled corpse of their savior. Same with any cross symbolism, really.

    The best part is how the person would have gone to so much effort, organization, time and headaches to find those little dolls that look like the politicians they wanted … if they couldn’t find them, they probably had them custom made … all to hang on their tree like this and post it online.
