Physical threat. i feel unsafe. you must be silenced. first they came from "morning joe." hed seen this gambit on college campuses for his, its how liberals silence dissent, by conflating contrary opinions with violence. if its strange to see middle-age reporters in the studio in washington fighting about their own safety, it shouldnt be. passive-aggressive is the universal currency of the left. it wont be long before nbcs claim status. no surprise there. that is no defense of these tweets. they...

Individuals who havent been placed throughout the government. theres a lack of cohesiveness right now. people checking what is going out. the fact that a step sibling would be acceptable, but grandparents arent is mind boggling, i think to most americans. it gets to the point that what the president set out to do was a political objective, not a policy objective. as other guests have said, what about the home grown terrorists in places like great britain or france? you know, we are right about c...
