    trump is the only president on his 3rd marriage who bragged about cheating on all his wives and who had sex with a p*rn actress and paid her hush money.

    and the phony, hypocritical evangelicals love it!

    republicans seem to have no problems inciting violence... against fellow congressmen or even the President.

    Dammit one of my favorite animes being used for right wing propaganda. And as usual, the right wing takes media that has leftist core messages and uses as their own. Another example: squid games.

    I'm willing to bet Gosar has never seen or heard of "Attack on Titan".

    As long as this is shrugged off, and allowed to happen, then this will only escalate, since there is no penalty and with many people, this is considered funny and other will agree with it. And at some point, someone will act it out.

    Gosar should be censured, but I think people should take the outrage down a notch because it has the ironic effect of making people not hear the inappropriateness of the video.

    AOC, btw, gives as good as she gets.

    "So while I was en route to Glasgow, a creepy member I work with who fundraises for Neo-Nazi groups shared a fantasy video of him killing me," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted. "And he'll face no consequences bc @GOPLeader cheers him on with excuses. Fun Monday! Well, back to work bc institutions don't protect woc."

    And,

    "Anyways, back to business," tweeted Ocasio-Cortez. "This dude is a just a collection of wet toothpicks anyway. White supremacy is for extremely fragile people &sad men like him, whose self concept relies on the myth that he was born superior because deep down he knows he couldn't open a pickle jar or read a whole book by himself."

    I love AOC, and she probably didn't need a creative team to come up with her response. The wet toothpicks dig makes me giggle. But she totally surrenders the high ground by cynically blaming "institutions" of racism and mounting her own counterattack. Which is fine and maybe she's right. But obviously she doesn't need or want me to come to her defense because she has opted instead to just attack Gosar's character right back. Probably while Gosar is being censured for singling her out with violent imagery in a campaign video, she should also be censured for calling him a creepy white supremacist and a wet toothpick (teehee). We could stand to have firmer House rules on collegiality that don't tolerate veiled threats of violence and direct insults on fellow members no matter how much you may hate each other irl.
