a liberal doing a boycott or a leftist doing a sit in or non violent occupation of a building all get called terrorists, a conservative shooting people or running them down with their car or blowing up a building is defined as let's not talk about that too much more of them might kill people
The fundamental issue here is that a pissed off Democrat will arrange a boycott or a sit in or a protest and a pissed off Republican will load a box truck full of ammonium nitrate and nitromethane and detonate it next to the Murrah building
American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Don’t lose hope. Remember, Watergate took over two years to fully unravel from the initial break-in to Nixon’s resignation. Just like then and now, Americans are losing faith in their government. We are documenting every illegal action and will hold this administration and Elon Musk accountable.

NEW: Sources tell my office that Treasury Secretary Bessent has granted DOGE *full* access to this system. Social Security and Medicare benefits, grants, payments to government contractors, including those that compete directly with Musk's own companies. All of it.

This is very fucking concerning. Musk's toadies have locked out access to the OPM HR database containing the personal information, SSN, employment history for all government employees.
