Yesterday I wrote about threatening text messages and death threats to House Republicans who are not supporting Jim Jordan for speaker. Some other stories have emerged since I wrote that post. They are just as disturbing.
YMMV. I realize that not everyone shares my view that death threats have no place in politics. And, that the wife of a lawmaker is off-limits to those who are triggered by votes. Politics isn’t beanbag. In today’s heated political environment, I think it is okay to speak out against these kinds of threats.
Politicians and public figures receive threats all the time. It goes with the gig that mentally disturbed individuals lash out

Just heard on the radio that they've withdrawn Jordan's name anyway.

Bull. This is exactly how the Deep State sets the narrative. The base is furious with the Republicans for their treatment of Jim Jordan, so the GOPe is furiously working to change the narrative. I despise every, single one of them. I don’t care if they go down in flames to the dems. It doesn’t matter any more who’s in office.

Are there crazy people that would do this?? Yes? Are they a Republican? Who knows? Is this all BS? Possibly.
Is this something to worry about? NO!!!!

I don't believe it's a Republican who sent this, but probably a REAL AntiFa or an FBI agent.

From what I've read of Bacon, I believe this is a lie. Or another stunt. It is Bacon and Buck who are a danger to our country.

I have no sympathy anymore. They screw us at every turn, knowing nothing will ever happen to them over it. Assuming this ever happened, which is doubtful, I dont care.

I love how some people invoke “the base,” attributing to it the exact same agenda, views, ideology and strategy as they themselves hold. Fury, they say, runs deep through the base for the treatment meted out to Jim Jordan. By that criterion I am the base.
I guess I’m evicted from the base since my fury is directed at the showboating incompetent who brought us to this farce rather than the backbenchers who seized the opportunity to get a more moderate speaker. I am also exiled from the base since I support those politicians, all Republican, who are the most conservative and who can win. McCarthy was that politician and I make no apologies by stating I wish the odious Gaetz hadn’t ousted him.

w/ respect #9 kmc is a silver-tonged devil with many talents. but like bagpipe bill and pontius pence,
their deeds don't match their promises. they've compromised those talents right out of their coats and ties,
leaving no ability to serve the the country or her ppl.
it's rather like the movie w/ zero mostel wherein he sells 150% of his play, and sees redemption in
producing outlandish flops w/ nazi-attired chorus girls crushing poland and france.
these pols squander their talents, throw in w/ team evil, and break your heart. i understand.
don't let the sob's grind you down.

I suspect many of these are "noose" moments and other false flag actions by Antifa or others of their ilk.

#9, Direct your anger at Kevin McCarthy. It took multiple votes for him to assume the speakership and to do so he gave his word that he would abide by the terms of the agreement made between he and the holdouts. He never intended to keep the agreement and he never thought Gaetz would have the guts to call him on it. Well guess what? Someone showed strength of character and indeed exposed Kevin’s back door deals and lack of integrity. Should he just have let it go like we have had done regarding betrayals we are far too familiar with in the past? Americans are sick of the lies and betrayals. Kevin McCarthy broke his word to the American people. Period. Actions have consequences. The real villains in this scenario are the Rinos who have decided to teach their constituents a lesson and that lesson is that they control who gets to be speaker. They throw us into confusion because their guy was revealed as a liar with zero integrity. They would rather have Jeffries than have a conservative like Jim Jordan as speaker.
Direct that anger where it should be aimed. Look no further than the lying scheming Rino elites who have put themselves and their agenda above that of the will of the American people for decades. They are liars, war mongers, open border advocates, prolific spenders of money we don’t have, and worst of all they believe they are better than the very people who pay their salaries. Jim Jordan looks like a saint in comparison and that is probably why they hate him so. He understand his job is to do the will of the people. These Rinos are only interested in self-preservation of their little fiefdom of corruption. The American people know who they are and want no part of their elitist aristocracy.

Some people will get pushed just so far. Our ruling class may think they can do whatever they want without consequences, but they are wrong. Once you take everything away from a person, they have nothing more to lose.
