#ncpol The phrase “jack-booted government thugs” is most famously associated with Wayne LaPierre of the NRA, who used it in a 1995 fundraising letter.
However, LaPierre did not originate it. Rep. John Dingell did in reference to the ATF.

Correct it. The local FOP did not vote on the letter. A few leaders of the group, which includes retirees, wrote it.

Corporate media complicity with this vile scam is what allowed Mike Johnson to give a presser today saying that not only is Trump more worthy of the Nobel Peace Prize than any person in history—more than Gandhi—but he will launch an international effort to get Trump a prize he's done nothing to earn
Media and MAGA Calls for Trump to Catch a Nobel Peace Prize Rather Than An ICC War Crimes Indictment Are Obscene
The second-biggest threat to global peace after Putin has earned a cell for war crimes—not a humanitarian award. That his grotesque and scammy appeal for a Nobel Peace Prize is working is terrifying.
