"I don't want to have to draw my rifle": Georgia GOPer warns of "civil war" if Trump is prosecuted
"I don't want to have to draw my rifle": Georgia GOPer warns of "civil war" if Trump is prosecuted
"Their actions are Nazism," far-right state Sen. Colton Moore told Trump ally Steve Bannon.
Republican Georgia state Sen. Colton Moore on Tuesday told "War Room" host Steve Bannon that he plans to push the legislature to defund Fulton District Attorney Fani Willis' prosecution of former President Donald Trump and 18 co-defendants, arguing that Trump's prosecution threatens to ignite a "civil war." Moore complained that indicted fellow state Sen. Shawn Still is going to have to spend "a million dollars" to defend himself in the case. "It's just like Nazi Germany," Moore claimed. "I mean, they want to call us the Nazis and their actions are Nazism."
Moore's remarks came as Georgia GOP Senate leaders seek to find a way to punish Willis for bringing charges against Trump. "I told one senator... we've got to put our heads together and figure this out. We need to be taking action right now.
Pretty sure they just admitted obstruction of justice and some conspiracy charges...
Please folks, especially those of you who like to push the "both sides" narrative. Recognize that while Democrats are not perfect, they are not these batshit insane Republicans that have wormed their way into power.
I want more choices, too. But until we have them - Republicans have been telling us exactly who they are since about 2016. Believe them. And do not vote them into power. Not locally, not at the state level, and for sure not at the federal level.
They have proven that they are incapable of seeing laws as anything more than tools to be leveraged against those not like them, and that they will skip right to violence when that fails.
I told one senator... we've got to put our heads together and figure this out. We need to be taking action right now. Because if we don't, our constituencies are gonna be fighting it in the streets. Do you want a civil war? I don't want a civil war. I don't want to have to draw my rifle. I want to make this problem go away with my legislative means of doing so,"
Translation: "Just do what I say so I don't have to get violent."
Sounds a lot like an abuser explaining how if only you hadn't made him angry, he wouldn't have had to beat you.
Fuck these people. Get them out of power.
Translation: "Just do what I say so I don't have to get violent."
Literal fascism
Every time a popular vote loser wins the presidency, convincing people that voting will get anyone out of power becomes harder. Definitely vote if you’re in a swing state, because it can be harm reduction for the most vulnerable, but don’t pretend getting the Dems in will improve things much for most people. Our entire system is moribund, we just haven’t figured it out yet.
Republicans haven't even fucked things up to the degree they want to yet. Dems may be less effective than we'd like, and some of them may not give a shit at all. But R is fully committed, pedal to the metal, driving towards the cliff edge, on a number of different axes. (that's plural of axis not plural of axe. Am I misspelling that?)
I'll take anything that is less bad than that.
If folks can vote third party without it becoming a stepping stone to R wins, I have no argument with that.
Moore complained that indicted fellow state Sen. Shawn Still is going to have to spend "a million dollars" to defend himself in the case. "It's just like Nazi Germany," Moore claimed.
Ah yes, the legendary legal proceedings of the Nazis.
Well there were the Neurenburg trials, but that was at the end of their Naziing
Forgive my pedantery: It's "Nuremburg" in English, "Nürnburg" in German.
Now that he has publicly announced that he plans to use his firearms for illegal, seditious purposes, can someone please take his guns and weapon permits away?
By this kind of threat, he has show that he is not fit to own a potentially lethal weapon.
Anyone who says "I don't want to have to draw my rifle", wants to draw their rifle.
Also, draw is a weird word in this context right? Draw your pistol, sure. But a rifle. I guess you can have a sling holster and technically would be "drawing" it.
Maybe they're going to sketch it, like with a pencil.
If you want to disarm this guy all you have to do is take his pencil.
Of course the name of his show is "war room," jfc. All conservatives do is fantasize about violence.
They also think about sex with children an awful lot.
It goes back to their religion too. Their idol murdered millions of people, including children, that disagreed with him. To a conservative "Christian" this is peak
he totally wants to draw his rifle
I think it's at a point where the left needs to arm themselves and train their family to operate firearms safely. 2024 will see "lone wolfs" born of stochastic terrorism like this. They are prepping the handful of armed mentally ill to commit violence on Americans if they don't get their way.
There were multiple bomb threats against elementary schools and libraries recently.
Seems like there’s an argument that he was threatening the DA
Do it or shut up you fucking coward.
Colton Moore is the kind of incel invertebrate that would shoot black people in a Dollar General.
Please I want you hicks to take on the federal government. Please do it would be so funny. Like whatchu gonna do to the Abrams tank when it rolls over your trailer Tucker?
"They want to call us the Nazis…"
No. I have to call you nazis because that's what half of you are.
I really wish we didn't give these people press
I honestly disagree with that statement. The sane people left need to know what the insane are planning and capable of. I'd rather be aware that the Nazis are coming for me than just be overrun and silenced.
There is a proverbial saying in German (I am from Austria - then-export-country of Hitler) which is "Wehret den Anfängen", which translates to "Ward off the beginnings". And I fully believe that is what a decent society should do when it comes to Nazis. And the press is needed for that.
Replace ever instance of civil war with domestic terrorism and I think we get a much more accurate picture about what these people mean. People with assault rifles going to schools, grocery stores, protests and any place that is crowded. Even if this chuckle head doesn't do anything, he's trying to signal to people who he hopes will shoot people when Trump is convicted. We are already experiencing domestic terrorism now, but it can always get worse.
Obviously I want just charges for the sake of what's right, but I also want to see these fucker's faces when they try to start a war and realize how few ppl are actually behind them at that level. I realize Trump's support is ominously higher than many of us would think, but at each level of intensity it drops tremendously (I don't even think half of his voters would admit to voting for him publicly). At the level out going to war I think they'd look around and feel pretty lonely.
All that said the fact that 47 percent of voters still supported him for reelection is terrifying
I don't think many realize how stirred up the followers of these people are. Even in Canada I see them sharing photos of themselves on the gun range claiming they are "battle ready", how they will shoot anyone that forces their children to have mandatory sex changes in school, or force vaccines on them by coming to their houses to jab them, and how they would like to gather up all the liberals into a building and blow them all up.
I ask them have they heard of Timothy McVie or the OK city bombing and they usually haven't, heck even Waco was too long ago for their collective memories despite this rhetoric sounding familiar.
There"s a real problem coming and those that are trying to be civil and decent are not prepared for this powder keg that has been created to explode. I'm really concerned there isn't going to be the right amount of push back when the time comes to these enraged people that aren't educated beyond their alternate news sources or their own research in their echo chambers. "Due process" has been eroded with claims of the left corrupting the legal system, judges, FBI, CIA and police forces against them.
I think people expect others to be at least as educated as them, but honestly many of these people can't even point out the US on a global map let alone read a book beyond what they were "forced to" in high school.
Trump and his like have figured out how to use these people to further their means. I'm just surprised more haven't turned on Trump after he didn't back his fellow "Patriots" from arrest after Jan 6th or pay their legal costs. Mind you this is the same group that thinks a dead Kennedy was coming back to save the US from these evil child rapists on the left so I'm not sure there's a pathway back to common sense for many of them as it is.
"stop the count" is the only strategy they have
Hey it worked for Bush
Good news, you don't have to if you don't want to.
He def wants too.
Tell me you don't know what Nazism is without telling me you don't know what Nazism is
He may know. He's counting on the last 80 years of conservative word twisting to cause the base to be unaware of what many different terms mean.
We need to be taking action right now. Because if we don't, our constituencies are gonna be fighting it in the streets.
Why would a liberal start a fight over this? Huh Colton?
From last Friday:
Sarah Palin says US civil war ‘is going to happen’ over Trump prosecutions
Monkey see, monkey do.
Luckily for him (or unluckily for him?), modern war is barely fought with rifles.
But these fuckers anti-education and anti-science bullshit is a danger to the country but allowing us to be technologically leapfrogged by more...um...intrepid...nations.
If the idea is for America to backslide away from self-determination, then the Republican party might just be for you.
When I think about what kind of psyops a global competitor would levy against us, and what goals they might hope to engender with their efforts, for the past 20 years, its always just been whatever the Republican party has been saying/doing.
Yeah, good luck with your little pop gun against a satellite-guided drone bomber.
Lets see on whom this idiot draws a rifle, and how he is handled from that point.
He's already being prosecuted. Pull out the gun or shut the fuck up, pissbaby
If this dillweed draws his rifle good enough, maybe poppa trump will hang it on the fridge. A man can dream.
Do it. We dare you.
You should be legally able to assault people who say terroristic threat as a case of self defense, or at least the defense of others.
no. haha. no please
Not a huge surprise. They missed their chance to represent the South the first time around, so this would be a dream come true for them.
It was the same group. The parties swapped orientations from the 1930's to the 1960's. It was a weird time for political party names. Voters had to really make sure they knew the positions of who they were voting for because the conservatives (racists) were slowly drifting from one party to the other and running in both parties.
Usually they would hop from Democrat to Republican as a publicity stunt in defiance of legislation not being racist enough for them. They were the same temper tantrum dipshit conservatives back then as they are now.
The conservatives have always been the racists and the normal people have always been the ones trying to avoid or stop them.
Sure, and the Republicans have since pivoted from "big business, free trade, American strength" to "hate groups, corruption, and treason for Russia".
Cool do some terrorism. The us could use more Sherman neckties.
The civil war never ended. You just had a long ceasefire.
All these little Kim Jong Wannabes, rattling their sabers and threatening war if they aren’t appeased.
Also sounds like China's final warnings

They think the Revolution is still going because they refuse to believe they lost?
