"partner femicide" is included in the "murdered by fascists" count? 

I hear "right wing" people from TV or youtube talk about getting death threats as a daily part of life not worth complaining about.  Been going on for years. 

I would like to see examples of the "Famous pundits and politicians running for office calling for and cheering on terrorist violence against us."  Seen far too many people stretch very innocent statements into whatever they want to imagine.  Show me the proof. 

"If our rhetoric was really inflamed, churches would be getting blown up and rightwing agitators would be getting disappeared." - There have been a number of Churches burned down, but not compared to the shear number of Churches out there.  The only "disappeared" people I can think of now are the Jan 6th people.  Nearly two years now.

You might be right about the shooting.  Consider that most of the "mass shooters" are NOT right wing agitators. 

As usual the left is projecting what they are actually doing onto the right. There are plenty of screenshots of leftists calling for anybody an inch to the right of them to be thrown into reeducation camps, gulags, death camps, etc, their property seized, rights stripped, murdered, heavily harassed, etc. And then there are the endless riots when these crybaby little *expletive deleted*s don’t get their way or a criminal piece of *expletive deleted*it they can martyr gets killed.

I have yet to see right wingers pull innocents out of cars and beat the hell out of them, or burn city blocks down.

But if they think that they are “holding back” and they are going to start burning churches (lord they hate churches!) and “disappearing” us, let’s go mother *expletive deleted*ers, let’s get this party started. Come down to the the Deep South and let’s get it on, you can have a shot at all of us “racist hillbillies”. Stop hiding in Portland and Seattle where your governments are aligned with you, come out to where all these flyover hicks live and shoot your shot.

The thing that gives me the willies about truck bed campers and trailers is you can't beat feet without getting out and around to the driver door.

 Boy, attacking Tim Pool for being right wing is moronic...

The realignment people keep talking about seems to be a movement from a left/right dichotomy to a dichotomy of the far, far, far left vs anyone who dares dissent from the far, far, far left.

That's why Pool and Musk and Trump are "far right" now.

Seemed pretty obvious for years that those are easy targets. I learned from the govt I was in though, in Serbia they toasted the grid with graphite bombs that released carbon fiber to fry everything in the substation. Figure a decent drone can carry a fair bit of graphite flock.

Even the old school chaff (aluminum/fiberglass) would shut down power, as the Navy figured out many years ago.

Interested on how long is “long shelf life”

They used to say six months, then changed it to one year. I 'spect they are one hundred percent sterilized and the only reason they state a shelf life at all is it's probably a legal or regulatory  requirement.

ETA:  A recently bought package says "BEST BY" 14 Jan 24.  Today is 06 Dec 22.

Also, too, inevitably, the shorter you make a shelf life, the more often people will buy it ... equals profit.     Of course 100% sterilization will not stop the purely chemical decline in quality (tasty things reacting too other tasty parts). Somebody said it's more like a "half life,"  but nobody will assume the legal liability of pinning an exact long period on it.

Around 30 or 40 years ago, people were shooting out the insulators on high tension lines in rural Minnesota. It seems that a bunch of farmers had part of their land seized through eminent domain for powerline towers, and they felt the lines crossing their land had a negative effect on people and livestock. Very contentious, and some folks took to shooting out power lines, while others took out the bolts holding down towers and they fell. IIRC they eventually caught a few of these people and threw all kinds of Federal charges at them.

Dems have the senate

My thoughts would be twofold. 

1. Is he playing lookout for someone inside who's robbing the joint and anyone who ventures in? (Unlikely, but it would occur to me.) 

2.  It's too bad things have gone that far that armed guards are needed at a damned gas station.

I'd probably tap my pocket instinctively but unnecessarily and hope five J-frame shots would be adequate, but hobble in anyhow.  I might switch my cane to my off hand "just in case."

Or, as HeroHog observed, "I might not last very long or be very effective but I'll be a real pain in the ass for a minute!
MOLON LABE!"

The same bunch(es) are still holding with masks here in South City...
 
The Virtue Signalers are hard at it. Mostly the skinny jeans crowd.
 
People who watch a lot of TV - elderly and poor.
 
Folks with warrants or who are thinking about trying for one.
