Wouldn’t it be fun to write a true and accurate history of this time we are experiencing in real time and locking it in a time vault that cannot be unlocked for fifty years. Makes you wonder doesn’t it?? ---

But _ **Kevin McCarthy’s constituents apparently agree with her calling for violence** _—otherwise they’d let him know that he needs to expel any member who advocates ‘beat[ing trans people] …into the ground’ (as Greene did in her interview with Alex Jones). If they agree with McCarthy that the proper duty of Congresspeople is to call for violence, then let them own it. ---
