Death Threats Against Cabinet
Timothy Birdnow
You knew this was coming, didn't you.
Trump’s Cabinet Nominees Targeted In Wave Of Violent Threats, Law Enforcement Responds
Folks, they are just warming up. There is going to be real violence soon.
BTW I went to a gathering of my wife's family and while we stayed out of politics Trump came up when we were discussing inflation and a couple of them tried to blame him for it! It didn't turn ugly although I told them they were wrong, and a flash of hot anger washed over my brother in law. I do not understand how smart people can be so naive.
He complained of Trump spending "$7 trillion" but seemed to ignore the fact that Biden spent almost eight, and Obama more than doubled the debt. What he failed to realize was that Trump had no control of the budget for the first year of his Presidency as he was operating under Obama's, then he had no control in his final two years as the Democrats controlled the House of Representatives. Trump had only one year of real authority over it, and he did sign a bad omnibus bill passed by the GOP to avoid a government shutdown by his own party. But Biden had conttrol of the House and the Senate (with Harris as tiebreaker) and moved through enormous spending bills with no opposition. And most Biden's spending was done at the tail end of the pandemic, while Trump had to grind through the very heart of it.
Oh, and Trump had to rebuild the military, which was decimated under Mr. Obama.
The fact of the matter is the last three Presidents spent way too much, and that spending has increased geometrically for decades. But to try to lay that off on Trump is not only unfair it's just plain silly.
At any rate we almost had a big fight. Trump derangement is real and it is dangerous.

I'm happy to say there were no arguments at our Thanksgiving table. Granted, it was just my wife and myself, and my dog stayed quiet because I took him outside for a pee just before we sat down to eat.

Well, that's good Dana; I would have been surprised had it been otherwise.
Yesterday my brother and dad and Cat and me went to a restaurant. Packed to the rafters. But we all think alike so there would be no political troubles, of course.

It's nice when your family are all in agreement -- a.k.a. intelligent people.
