...politically speaking, of course. That is what a dude from "Cowboys for Trump" said in the first part of a video that Trump responded too on his favorite (where he is treated so unfairly, EO coming!) platform, Twitter.

Problem is, Mr. Cowboy told us what he really means.

But in the interview, Griffin also repeated his claim that “the only good Democrat is a dead one” and signaled that he still thinks some top Democrats—such as governors Ralph Northam (D-VA) and Gretchen Whitmer (D-MI)—could be guilty of treason and the punishment that comes with it.

“You get to pick your poison: you either go before a firing squad, or you get the end of the rope,” Griffin said.


Cowboys for Trump? Nah, just another hateful dumbass for Trump.

We have a Second Amendment and should have no security problems in our free States. Don't grab guns, grab gun lovers and Regulate them Well!
 
Right. Let's start hanging people we disagree with. Nothing 3rd world about that.
 
He is continuing to dare Twitter to ban him.

And it was a Bernie supporter who came to DC and shot up several Republicans.

This is something new with republicans, referring to others as murderers, even if it is 'supposedly' in a euphemistic way. It's wrong and it is getting more frequent. We have a president that outright called Joe Scarborough a murderer Then this asshole Couy Griffin who gets front page news online from the Daily Beast. I have been referred to as a 'murderess' just today by one of our distinguished forum members.

Where is this heading and will it stop or is this a new escalation of tensions between parties? It seems as though Donald Trump's desperation as November approaches is reaching a higher pitch in his attempt to divide this country by either blue or red citizens.

We've already witnessed this attempt at divisiveness from Mitch McConnell, Rick Scott and other republicans who believe that we shouldn't be helping lift the financial burden of states that have suffered the greatest with this pandemic. We're supposed to be a united country not a country where each state has to suffer consequences of any natural disaster on their own. When tornadoes strike Oklahoma or Arkansas, federal funds are immediately ready to help those people who lose homes When hurricanes come and destroy parts of Texas Mississippi, Florida, Alabama and Georgia, the federal government is right there with military vehicles filled with men and supplies ready to relieve the burden of those states.

New York has suffered devastation for months in both human life and financial resources fighting this virus, the same with California, Michigan and Washington. But Mitch McConnell, Trump and other republicans don't want to help any of these states with financial assistance for one reason only -- they're blue states.

For decades, states such as those that have been providing public health to people diagnosed with Covid-19 and struggling to get the necessary equipment to care for these people that are more seriously ill, have been the financial backbone of this country, supporting red states that can't carry their own weight financially. States such as mine are contributing more to the federal government than they take from the federal government.

Top 5 donor states that give more money to the federal government every year than they take.

Top 5 receiving states that take more from the federal government every year than they give.

Mitch McConnell, is stopping blue state bailouts and wants them to claim bankruptcy rather than extending and help to them financially. Mitch McConnell has created a toxic environment for the entire country by striving to split the country in half.

Sen Rick Scott "We're supposed to go bail them out? That's not right"

Art Laffer on Fox May 24th "You want us to give our money to Cuomo and the New Yorkers? Hello, not this week."

It was, for sure. And no one, condoned it. He was a scourge on society.
There is no place on either side for this bull****.
Get back to us when Bernie re-tweets that asshole's manifesto.

The absolutely crazy thing is that allowing a bunch of States declaring bankruptcy while we are staring down the barrel of a for real Depression would send the country into more of an economic spiral.

It is cutting one's own nose off to spite their face.

People in the states took the acceptable risk associated with their vote. Elections have consequences. Squander your money away come a rainy day you're hosed. Sorry, not my problem

So.... that is an argument in favor of crashing the economy even further?

No it would not. All these stimulus packages add up to many trillions of dollars, not billions. That's three-thousand billion dollars! The last relief package alone was a $3 trillion dollar relief bill. Don't you think that would 'bankrupt' the federal government? No, it won't, no matter how much the US govt gives to both large and small businesses trillions of dollars in relief because the US government just keeps borrowing from the Fed Reserve.


How the federal relief bill cheats New York - Empire Center for Public Policy
State officials estimate that they recently spent $600 million just on coronavirus-related supplies and equipment in a single week. No other part of the country is facing bills that large at this point in the outbreak.

That being the case, New York should have received the lion’s share of emergency public health funding from Washington. Instead, bill drafters in the Senate divided the money according to the usual political math of a legislative body in which all states, no matter how large or small, have the same two votes.

The $150 billion “Coronavirus Relief Fund,” a late addition to the package, is supposed to cover states’ emergency costs related to the pandemic, which are piling up fast.

Yet New York, which accounts for almost half of the nation’s diagnosed coronavirus cases — and more than one-third of its deaths — is due to receive just 5% of the money, or $7.5 billion. The nation’s original hotspot, the state of Washington, is getting a paltry 2%, or $2.9 billion.
 
Okay... crash the economy even further.

Cool.

If concerned about the economy, are you writing the blue state governors?

I think that you misunderstood my point.

Allowing States to go bankrupt at any time would be a disaster. Having them go bankrupt during an economic decline that is looking like a Depression would 100% guarantee that we would be in a Depression.

McConnel and the GOP suggesting this is red meat for their base because **** those loser blue states... but the reality of what they propose would place the country in more of an economic spiral. There wasn't going to be a V shaped recovery.. that would make sure that there would be economic pain for almost a decade. It would make 2008 look like a vacation.
 
About what?

The obvious concern you have about their decisions continuing to negatively impact the economy

Oh... I get it... this isn't a serious conversation.

You have a nice day.
 
Well... that makes this completely fine then.

Just pointing out the hypocrisy. The hanging wasn't even real. The shooting was very real. So who's the worst bad guy?

I have no earthly idea why some people think Trump is divisive.

Where is the hypocrisy?

Did anyone defend the crazy shooter dude?

Was there any... well... he did shoot a bunch of innocent people but last year <fill in the blank>?

It is 100% possible to say that it isn't right. That our country should not be going down that path without having to equivocate it to something that is deemed to be on the "other side"
 
And it was a Bernie supporter who came to DC and shot up several Republicans.

OK, and? This was Trump thanking a guy who says in the very first part of the video that the only good Democrat is a dead one. Follow the links. Trump did this on Twitter, so millions have seen this guy and that Trump thanked him.

Did Bernie thank the shooter? No. So no comparison whatsoever.
