28. They can't be... that's the point.

And... as fucked up as it sounds... there's a real justification for the laws they are hiding behind.

The laws that allow federal agents to take out real terrorists are in place for a very great and amazingly real and necessary reason.

IF she was a real terrorist... ticking timebomb situtuation... what that officer did was and is totally what you want to happen.

Sorry, it just is. The laws are great. I mean, not great but they're the best that's there so if a REAL situation happens, no one's hands are tied.

A soccer mom isn't a real terrorist.

By branding her one... they make us all less secure.

There really are real terrorist out there and these jack booted thugs aren't fighting them... they're just trying to terrify Democrats before an election.

Urgudan does it... Murdero did it and trump and his congressfreinds and his loyalists that run the legal system are trying to ensure the election goes his way.

If you think he doesn't think he can actually overturn things and get Congress to repeal the amendment and allow him to run again, you're crazy. That's precisely what he's thinking and he may be right...

Nothing he's doing is new... it's just never been allowed to happen in America before... there used to be people that would stop this shit before it happened.
