The Ricin Was Sent To Senator Roger Wicker (R)

[JaneyVee]

One of the last Republicans to cast a vote to let gun control debate move forward.

[Archae]

1. Sent by a far-right idiot.

[JaneyVee]

2. They know D's are voting for it, perhaps a RWer feeling betrayed by his representative?

For voting WITH Dems.

[Lizzie Poppet]

4. Possibly so.

This flat out infuriates me. I oppose most new gun control measures (although not this one, as it happens...expanded background checks are a good idea), but this is no way to advance a political opinion. I consider violent interference with the democratic process to be treason. I hope this SOB gets caught and chucked into prison to rot.

3. Presumably. These mouth breathers are so stupid, I'm thinking good odds s/he'll be caught.

5. The rabid rifle men make their last stand at destroying representative government.

They'd never consider money paid to the Koches and other corporates to be as hard for them to pay as to the dreaded IRS. They are so effing clueless.

The most effective way to restrict democracy is to transfer decision-making from the public arena to unaccountable institutions: kings and princes, priestly castes, military juntas, party dictatorships, or modern corporations.

6. The Koch Brothers are reaping a lot of reward

now they have people targeting any R that dares voter against them.

7. To hell with anyone doing this. eom
