Republicans disappear in silence...

If they are silent, perhaps no one will notice?

God forbid they speak any criticism of their insane leader.

He can be as sacrilegious as he wants - they will say nothing. He can hawk Bibles and brag about how many he has in his golden temple. No problem.

He can be as violent as he desires. He can portray his political opponent as hog-tied in the back of a pick-up truck with a bullet hole in the head. No problem. It's best they remain silent.

He can threaten our freedoms and the rule of law and Republicans have no problem. Unless it is about the border or Hunter Biden's computer, they have nothing to say.

May they remain silent when it is their lifeless bodies piled in the back of pick-up trucks. May their families never be exposed to the violence they support with their silence.

17. Funny... That's not what 18 USC 3056 says
Mon Apr 1, 2024, 04:34 PM
Apr 2024

To wit:

(c)(1) Under the direction of the Secretary of Homeland Security, officers and agents of the Secret Service are authorized to-

(A) execute warrants issued under the laws of the United States;

(B) carry firearms;

(C) make arrests without warrant for any offense against the United States committed in their presence, or for any felony cognizable under the laws of the United States if they have reasonable grounds to believe that the person to be arrested has committed or is committing such felony;

(D) offer and pay rewards for services and information leading to the apprehension of persons involved in the violation or potential violation of those provisions of law which the Secret Service is authorized to enforce;

(E) pay expenses for unforeseen emergencies of a confidential nature under the direction of the Secretary of Homeland Security and accounted for solely on the Secretary's certificate; and

(F) perform such other functions and duties as are authorized by law.

5. You'd think this would have been the nail in his coffin, wouldn't you?

We look weak & foolish, as a country & as a party, that we haven't dealt with this piece of shit & now we're letting him run for office again. Just like insurrectionist congress members have been able to run for office without any legal repercussions or issues hanging over their heads. It's as disgusting as it is staggering.

It is plainly written on the side of the box that it is to go to the "MAL Bedroom"??

These images & the two-tiered justice system they represent make me so angry I can hardly stand to look at them.

But, I seem to recall that there was a secret closet in the bedroom that the FBI over-looked in their search warrant?
