'Connecticut Teacher Tearfully Resigns After Threatening to ‘Fight’ Trump Supporters'

Hold my beer :-)
This Sheriff is not resigning

"I am sorry. If you support the Democratic party I will not help you"
“At the end of the day I will require you to provide proof of who you voted for if you ask me for help, Weapons and ammo are not cheap.”
“The problem is that I know which of you supports the Democratic Party and I will not help you survive the end of days,”
this is a woefully misdirected person who should be shown the door

however

there are indications that he, a survivalist, is talking about giving no help if there is an apocalypse , using language like “survive the end of days.” . So I think we are getting a spin here, just saying

I take his interpretation of end of days is Harris winning.
He now blames sleeping pills
WTF
Sleeping pills????????????
I've taken sleeping pills and doesn't make me make crazy posts with nothing misspelled. It makes me drowsy to sleep. If I tried to type, it would come out gobbly gook

I took Ambien for about 15 years every single night. I was known to do some unusual things and have blackouts on days where I may have had a few too many drinks.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

What makes more sense regarding the sheriff
He's no doubt MAGA
He probably was watching foxnews and got furious. That's what foxnews does , makes their audience furious at Dems. He probably looked for ways to punish Dems after Foxnews got him enraged

I could not care less about the politics, but people will do very strange things on sleeping pills. I had a bad habit of buying things on Amazon while on Ambien. It was like Christmas when boxes would show up with no recollection of ordering anything. One box showed up at my house that was about four feet long by two feet wide and two feet deep. I had no idea what I could have ordered that big without remembering it. I told myself I would not open it until I remembered what it was. I waited about two weeks and gave up because I had no idea. It turns out I ordered a Weber propane grill that I had no recollection of. It was a good grill.

If the apocalypse comes, people will have to make choices. That doesn't clear him from his comments.

Public officials have no business making comments like that and he should be kicked out of office. It isn't hard--you swore an other to protect the people you work for and you had a choice in doing that. Your duty is clear. I swore to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. We have many differences of opinion and lots of worthless name calling, but if someone is really a true "danger" to the Constitution, I will be defending it with life or limb. The Sheriff made that kind of commitment to his jurisdiction and his comment makes you wonder if is willing to do what so many other public servants would do and have done.

I don't really think an apocalypse is coming and, if I had a plan, why would I tell anyone about it? People have said a plan is needed; I am not even sure I want to live if there is truly an apocalypse.
yeah, you're right, and it's a mistake to think you have to defend everything and everyone. Left or Right.

I just read an article by some lame ass libbie who claimed that the left needs a "Joe Rogan" of their own. What this idiot doesn't understand is that both Joe Rogan AND Elon Musk used to be on the left before the left went bat sh** crazy! 🤦‍♂️

What's even funnier is that the libbie journalist claimed that YouTuber David Pakman could become the Joe Rogan of the left. I almost fell out of my chair laughing. 😂

Seriously, does anybody in their right mind think that young men looking for a masculine role model would choose the effeminate soyboy in pic #1 over the dude in pic #2???? LOL 🤣🤣

Oh yeah, I forgot to add that the libbie journalist also claimed that politicians like Pete Buttcrack and Tim Ballz would appeal to young men, which is even crazier LOL!!!

Like masculine young dudes are really gonna look up to a guy who's out of the closet and a guy who's still in the closet. 🤣🤣

Nothing new. Remember "Air America?" A whole liberal network to try to compete with Rush Limbaugh and the rest of talk radio. It lost a fortune but at least kept Rachel Maddow off screen. They will never get it to work because they do not understand that these shows entertain first and foremost. Their hosts make them interesting. They make their point by building their case. The left never needs to do that as they tend to just be handed a show but have little experience in getting an audience.

Not to mention Rogan is what, three hours usually? People listen to this kind of thing at or commuting to some sort of job.

Found in the back of a cabinet.

A small silver coin that was struck in 17th century Boston just sold for $2.5 million dollars.

The threepence was struck only a few weeks before the first mint would be opened in the future US. The Boston Mint was officially created on May 27, 1652 to help ensure that businesses in the already commercially successful Massachusetts Bay Colony had an adequate supply of money.
