Can't wait to hear Trump say the guy is a hero and deserves a pardon.

But why would Kamala pardon him?

Not to rain on the joke parade, but the pardon would come from the Texas governor and Abbott has already shown he is willing to abuse the pardon power to score political points.

Well, that's unsurprising. The default state for these MAGA chuds is "violent moron."

Before I started using the mail-in ballots, I'd go to my local polling place, and it was always staffed with old retirees just happily supporting democracy. They'd work long hours, and not for pay, just for community. My mom worked polling places several elections after she retired. This article makes me sad.

Those pesky right-wingers with their over-active amygdala just can't control themselves and act like adults.

Taking it one further: how shitty does your life have to be to respond with violence because someone asked you to follow the rules. This person is small and weak and pathetic.

All you really have to do is make the rule a tax on tea and they'll start throwing shit into the sea.
