Under my plan, all Floridians will have permission to shoot FBI, IRS, ATF and all other feds on sight! Let freedom ring!

This is the actual Twitter statement by Luis Miguel, a GOP candidate for a Florida Legislature House seat. Yes, he was banned from Twitter, but not from running for public office.

Mr. Miguel does not seem to realize he is creating a precedent. So you want to shoot federal officers do you? Well, perhaps others might decide to shoot YOU! Of course, we have laws against that sort of thing.

When will this plague of uncivilized, treasonous Philistines in our politics end?!

@badminton Good question. It is getting worse, not better, and will likely boil over into significant violence when Trump is indicted. We appear to be at a point where it has to be expressed and extinguished before it will simmer back down and go underground again after Trump and his clones are gone.

@windinhishair The U.S. is currently going through a period of dangerous political and social upheaval.

The disenfranchised working class is looking for someone to blame for their declining standard of living over the past 40 years. Unfortunately, they often wrongly blame groups of people who have nothing to do with their problems. And so the old bigotry and racism has flared up in recent years. Trump tricked them into thinking he will be their advocate. He is in fact using them and will actually worsen their condition.

@badminton after Trump’s assassination.

Unfortunately I believe you are wrong. That will make him a martyr and worsen the problem. I can tell you now that when he dies (he will because we all do) there will be some crackpot on Faux News claiming that he was killed by the "deep state" and his crazy followers will act out violently. @BackyardShaman

I know what you mean, but truly they are going to act out equally regardless of whatever happens to Trump@rhouse

@BackyardShaman Agreed. It is already starting just because the FBI conducted a legal search and seizure of illegally-stolen government records. It will worsen when Trump is indicted.

Just like the rest of you, I don't know what is in the documents that Trump stole and squirreled away at MAL. I am just curious how much Putin would pay for the information - a million dollars, 10 million dollars, the right to Trump Tower Moscow? That thought makes me wonder why he stole classified government documents. @windinhishair

However, they don’t have a president assisting them now, and the FBI under a legitimate Government, as well as the pentagon and Homeland security know what to do about it and will kill them when necessary. There are a lot of them but not nearly as many as they project the image of having. I know it will be bad but it’s unavoidable @windinhishair

@rhouse Russia began cultivating Trump as an asset back in the 1980s, and Russian oligarchs have been a key financial contributor since at least the early 1990s. Trump stole the documents a year and a half ago, and has likely shared whatever information others bought from him long ago to settle whatever debts he has to Putin or sold to the Saudis or other governments. The damage is likely already done.

@BackyardShaman I also don't believe fear of Cult violence should influence the pursuit of justice. Bring it on so we can get it over with and move on.

I totally agree with both of your previous posts. @windinhishair
