    fun fact, all those failing is why the founders added the 2nd ammendment.

    No. this is not an endorsment of civil war or assassination- it’s a warning. if you remove all legal avenues for justice… then there’s only illegal avenues, and eventually people will be pushed to pursue those.

      I mean, hell, look at the list of grievances in the Declaration of Independence and what happened next. Violence is quintessentially American and a foundational part of our history. Those who’ve benefited from extended periods of peace may have forgotten that. “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time…” and all that.

        absolutely.

        Guess my point is, if Jeffries is unwilling to puruse those legal avenues, he’s part of the problem and needs to go. Same with Schumer. (and maybe even more so with Schumer.)

      The four boxes of liberty if I remember correctly.

      The soap box, the ballot box, the jury box, and finally the ammo box. In that order.
