Gmac ever condemn those right wing would be putschists?

I think he's okay with all of those right wing Reichstag burnings and the terrorist plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan.

Quoth Fox News:

The militia group accused of planning to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer previously discussed taking over the state Capitol building and staging a weeklong series of televised executions of public officials, authorities said.

The plot was revealed by the Michigan Attorney General's Office during arguments against the release of Pete Musico, 42, one of eight men facing state terrorism charges in the case, WWMT-TV recently reported. Six others face federal charges for their roles in the thwarted kidnapping plot.

Some of the suspects belonged to the Wolverine Watchmen, an anti-government militia. The group concocted two separate plans during a Second Amendment rally in June in front of the Capitol building in Lansing.

One involved recruiting 200 men to storm the building while lawmakers were in session, according to court documents.

"They were to take hostages, execute tyrants and have it televised," court documents read. "It would take about one week and that no one is coming out alive."

Another plan involved storming the building, locking it and setting it ablaze with lawmakers inside. Musico suggested there were "tactical difficulties" with the plan.

Instead, he developed another, less complicated one to target the homes of elected officials and kidnap them, prosecutors said.

They eventually settled for kidnapping Whitmer, a Democrat, who has been criticized by some for enacting restrictions to combat the spread of the coronavirus. The alleged plot was foiled by the FBI and Michigan State Police.

Liberals want to teach kindergarten children about sexuality.
Florida has banned this.
Disney have taken offence to this and say Florida is now a cold house for LGBTQ.

They still stream in Saudi Arabia.

"DeSantis Blasts Disney's Seven Dwarfs For Pushing Pro-Math Agenda"

Sure they've been pushing that math agenda for decades, what with their "seven" dwarves, and their "101" dalmatians.

Big miscalculation by Trump's illegitimate Supreme Court justices in shooting down abortion rights. This is gonna backfire on the conservative ideologues, big time. I don't think the usual midterm Democratic voter apathy is going to be a thing this year, not after this abomination of a ruling.

Christ, its a miracle that there wasn't more deaths that day, though I suspect if that was a BLM march on the capitol we'd have a different result ;)

Hopefully not, but people and the news move on to other things very quickly. (e.g. there'll probably be another Fox News caravan or something to scare the old bigots).

But, this won't end with abortion. If the ruling comes out as written in the draft with it based on unenumerated rights, the likes of gay rights and contraception will be next to fall at the federal level, despite Alito's insistence that it is solely about abortion.

Then its really going to matter which state you and your kids live in.

And if the GOP legislates all of this stuff federally, this country is heading down the road towards a break-up, IMO.
