And, contrary to what is implied in the program, Charles David Sly played no part in Mr. Howard’s fiftieth home run in 2006 or in any of his many other home runs.

Ryan, Ryan Request Redress Regarding Wrong Roid Report

Trump will sign an Executive Order to stop Al-Jazeera from reporting in the US.

Nope. Did I bury the lede?

Let’s first work out the odds of the numerous dumbass Republican candidates even knowing what Al Jazeera is and not instead freaking out that some random group of brown terrorists are conspiring to steal our freedom by accusing our athletes of doping.

Howard is a “talented and widely respected athlete.”

Let’s work out the odds of the first GOP Presidential candidate to accuse Al Jazeera of covertly trying to undermine US society by attacking sports figures.

They’re claiming they’re defending the constitution by bringing guns, breaking and entering and holding a government building.

But....there is some danger when a bunch of half-wits bring a bunch of loaded guns (presumably including some assault weapons), break into a building, and say they’re staying. Uh, presumably the National Wildlife Sanctuary, however rural, would have employees and patrons there today, but for this armed breaking and…

I mean... pointing gun at a cop is being an idiot. but that’s not what people have problems with.

Using force against these people is justified. They’ve invaded a government building while under arms and are refusing to leave.

So if airport screening had worked and the 9/11 hijackers were stopped before boarding the plane they would not be terrorists?

Exactly. Bundy’s all gung-ho because the last time he challenged the government, they backed down (which was a mistake). So now he thinks he can do it again without consequence. And unfortunately, it looks like that’s how it’s gonna play out.

Just because they haven’t hurt anyone or damaged anything doesn’t mean they aren’t terrorists. They’ve invaded a government building while under arms because they’re unhappy with the political situation. That’s terrorism under any definition.

No one is saying that these idiots are terrifying. But they are terrorists. By any definition. Violence (or the threat of violence) because you have a problem with politics is terrorism.

The purpose of terrorism is to use violence to enact a political agenda that isn’t achievable by normal political means

They’re also not getting shot at while holding guns in a vaguely-threatening manner on federal property. Also, none of them are black.

The two states are entwined, is what TheTruthIsHere is getting at.

Please don’t try and downplay what these terrorist are doing.
