Rep. King just dodged a question re: How badly prepared we are for domestic terrorist investigations

He was talking to Chuck Todd, ignored the question, and immediately started talking about Al Caeda.


What we need to do is revive the ATF and pump about a billion dollars into them. As gun laws tighten, gun nuts will go full on McVeigh.

Costa Mesa man killed in house explosion; 3 pipe bombs found during search

There is a hint of speculation in that report, authorities saying that the dead man "was not fond of authorities". A domestic terrorist or simply crazy? Or was he actually a part of a secret jihadist terror cell? If we are not prepared to investigate domestic as well as foreign terror we will find out our answers after it is too late.

Eric Holder and President Obama wanted KSM to be tried, King made it impossible.

When placing blame, blame the correct person.

Republican King and Rudy-9-11-Giuliani for two.

We need to get guns/bullets out of the hands of private citizens after a reinterpretation of the 2nd.

just to kick a duck in the ass - and even then, he misses the mark most of the time.



F him and the constituency who keep voting for him.
