Remember when GOP Senators were sooo offended that Schiff dared to say Trump threatens people?



Kyle Cheney ✔ @kyledcheney

Remember when senators were incredulous that Schiff read a report about someone from the WH making an ominous sounding threat?

Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump

Shifty Adam Schiff is a CORRUPT POLITICIAN, and probably a very sick man. He has not paid the price, yet, for what he has done to our Country!

If Trump were to win in November, what do you think will happen to Adam Schiff? I can't honestly say he's not in danger of such a thing.

I think he must know that some Senators were won over by Schiff.

He openly threatens Schiff, imagine what he does behind closed doors to others who try to expose him? Too bad the entire gop senate does not say "Enough is enough", find their spines and defend their country. Wishful thinking I know, but in November they will feel otherwise. tRump is the very worst example they could have chosen as their leader.

Thank America's filthy rich and their tools the GOP, Putin and capitalism for turning our democracy into a cess pool of whims and revenge.

It's what the filthy rich have always wanted. It's their dictatorship now....and they love it.

Next up the total destruction of Social Security and Medicare.....even Obama had his cat food commission. So say bye bye to the middle class living past 66.

And a segment of his followers support using a 2nd Amendment solution. So far that has only been a threat, thankfully. But these are scary times.

By any and all things that should be holy, tRump won't be allowed to continue occupying the office that was stolen on his behalf. But should it happen - and that's a very real possibility - he will make good on his Twitter threats.

He will have the Barr DOJ commence witch hunts of not only Adam Schiff, but of Nancy Pelosi, the Bidens, Obama, and every other individual or organization that he's been defiling, defaming and screeching about for the past 3+ years. I shudder to even think about what he will do to the network news and printed news media outlets and those that populate them. Barr, the totally corrupt and eager water bearer, along with the willing sycophants within the totally corrupt kGOP will be his ready and willing enablers and cheerleaders in that endeavor. He will visit the same scorched Earth policy that we've witnessed or read about in histories of other despotic dictators across the globe since recorded time began.

Blubbering about how upset they are coz they were unfairly attacked by being falsely accused of making threats, then immediately doing what they're accused of, threatening and attacking.

So they're always appearing, in their own minds, to be on the attack. When they're issuing threats as an attack, and when they're blubbering about how dare we falsely accuse them of issuing threats as an attack. The blubbering is another attack.

That kind of crappy murder mouthing that cowards engage in, when they're trying to figure out if they actually want to start a fight. The coward has to be sure he'll win, before he starts the fight.

Standard repuglinazi fare, a rich powerful rightie white guy crying about how unfair everyone and everything is to them.
