Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

Virtual Desktops on Windows aren't used enough. Mac has the "maximize to Virtual Desktop" button so I did a similar thing for Windows. Please go test it and file issues.
SHIFT-CLICK on the Maximize button will maximize a window to a new Virtual Desktop. Also a hotkey.

Republicans are in favor of having a gun to defend yourself from a tyrannical government unless you have a gun to defend yourself from a tyrannical government
Pretti clearly did not brandish his gun. Which means the government is saying he was killed for legally exercising his right to carry.
It’s as clear-cut a violation of the Second Amendment as I can possibly imagine. And we’re about to see the bulk of the gun rights crowd defend his murder.
