(Note that Dr. Deagle, if not Bernstein, actually is "civil", at least as quoted above. Not an insult or mean word directed at anyone, other than "these people". Just graphic threats of murder should anyone disagree w/ him or Trump, & a reminder that Gaed is w/ them.)Earlier this week, right-wing commentator Josh Bernstein appeared on “The NutriMedical Report Show,” a radio program hosted by nutritional supplement proprietor Dr. Bill Deagle, during which Deagle repeatedly threatened to kill anyone who dares to harass him, President Trump, or any other conservative politician in America.
Outraged about recent incidents such as White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders being asked to leave a restaurant, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi being confronted by protesters, and Rep. Maxine Waters’ call for more such confrontations, Deagle declared that “these people need to understand, they’re not going to have a bad day, they’re going to die.”
Deagle said that if he had been on hand during the confrontation between Bondi and protesters, he would not only have pepper sprayed the protesters but “would have whipped out my concealed carry permit gun and I would have blown them away and put them in a box.”
“They need to understand the right is not going to be shouted down,” he said. “[If] they continue to think they are going to harass the right, these people need to understand they’re not going to have a bad day, they’re going to die.”
After Bernstein declared that Waters “is an absolute psychopath” who is “just insane” and needs to be put in prison for inciting violence, Deagle returned to the Bondi incident in order to again assert that if anyone were to physically attack him, he would “haul out a weapon and I would blow him away, hit him in the center of the body to make sure he didn’t have time to go to the I.C.U. or have a trauma surgeon [save him], he’d be dead on the spot.'”
“People need to start realizing they’re going to get a lot more than they bargained for if they want to harass us, supporters of Donald Trump and conservatism,” Deagle stated. “They’re not going to get just a little helter skelter and yelling, they’re going to get death.”
Deagle also issued a warning to Democratic candidates and lawmakers who are calling for the abolishment of the Department of Homeland Security’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) branch.
“We’ll ice them, how’s that?” he said. “We’ll put them on ice.”
“I’ve reached my limit now,” Deagle fumed. “They want to bring it on? You’re going to get a lot more than you bargained for, believe me. The destroyer is not the devil, it’s God and we’re his proxy. You want to bring it on? You’re going to bring on your own devastation and destruction. Don’t push it.”

Pure Consciousness Comes
To The Tuned-Out Mind
Is this sort of thing a good idea? I've a vague memory from a wk. or two ago (Or was it three? Everything's a blur.) of reactionary elements warning The Left (monolith that it is) that if it didn't stop accusing right-wingers of being racists & Nazis noting that many things said by some on the right could very easily be interpreted as fascist & racist, conservatives would therefore (by some very odd logic) be driven into the arms of the Nazis, which would really show the libs or something, so there!!
Note very well that this is the Republican National Committee, the official Grand Old Party, not just a right-wing Nervous Nellie typing on the iNternet. I certainly hope this sort of crap "unhinges" The American Left & drives it into the arms of the glorious Marxist-Leninist-Maoist Revolution (Too many cooks spoiling the broth?) if not to something even more radical, like voting.
Hey, let's compare & contrast:Again, who's hinged & who isn't?
But if nothing else, it gave us a laugh, & an excuse to embed this perennial.

Remember the American Thinker? A degenerate fringe element in its heyday, & the degeneration hasn't lessened any in the Age of Shit & Trump, as this paranoid headline indicates.

Yes, "insurrection" means somebody didn't kiss Kirstjen Nielsen's &/or Sarah Huckabee Sanders' asses sufficiently for typist Peter Barry Chowka's taste.Insurrection is Here; How Long do We have Until Civil War 2.0 Starts?
I mean, listen to this idiot:These ominous uprisings are taking various forms but the most visible and aggressive ones involve Antifa-style “occupy” socialist and anarchist street mobs dedicated to taking down ICE – U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the federal government policing agency that is part of the Department of Homeland Security. The impetus for these actions has been the anti-President Trump Fake News psy-op meme that claims minor children of illegal immigrants arrested for crashing the U.S./Mexico border are being separated from their parents, sent to “Nazi”-like “concentration camps,” and systematically mistreated.
Far left groups whose rag tag appearance belies their sophisticated networking skills, including Direct Action Network and Democratic Socialists of America, are behind the actions. The Hill analyzed the radicals’ agendas after a group of DSA activists loudly confronted DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen while she was having dinner at a restaurant in Washington, D.C.
Shocking & obscene!! "Derogatory", even! "Often used by illegal immigrants"! How dare they? Make room for me on the fainting couch while I clutch my pearls!The shocking and obscene radical banner above about an ongoing occupy action in New York City is featured on the Portland Abolish I.C.E. PDX Twitter page. It calls for “no prisons no ICE no borders” and adds “chinga la migra” which translates as “f—k migra.” The word migra is a derogatory Spanish language slur for U.S. immigration officers often used by illegal immigrants.
And in conclusion:
Yeah, whatever. The Editorial Board here is guessing the American Thinkers are just a little teeny tiny bit scared as hell that Trump is bringing about a turning of the tables, & not in the direction that they'd hoped for. Remember who the "preferred classes" really are; neither "professional" leftist and anarchist agitators and their fellow travelers, nor "illegal alien invaders".In recent years, law-breaking from the streets to the political suites no longer carries consequences for the preferred classes – Democrat politicians, high-level Deep State bureaucrats, professional leftist and anarchist agitators and their fellow travelers, and now illegal alien invaders.
Whoa, as "As We Type" case in point,, speaking of the Democratic Socialists of America:

What a moronic asshole. Do click the link to see why this is a dumb idea, & unsupported by anyone in the military.President Trump’s surprise decision to order the creation of a U.S. “Space Force” came because he was frustrated with Pentagon officials for not taking up his initial suggestion, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday.
Trump directed the Defense Department on Monday to create the country’s sixth military service branch, a move that shocked Pentagon officials and lawmakers.
People familiar with the decision told the Journal that Trump often throws out ideas in public but then expects his aides and Cabinet officials to create follow-through plans.
Trump gets frustrated and makes demands when he feels like his appointees haven’t jumped into action, the newspaper reported.
“He doesn’t forget, and ultimately erupts when he feels slighted,” a former high-level industry and government official* said.
The White House did not respond to the Journal’s requests for comment.
Trump first tossed out the idea of a Space Force in March.
“You know, I was saying it the other day — because we’re doing a tremendous amount of work in space — I said, 'Maybe we need a new force, we’ll call it the Space Force.' And I was not really serious, and then I said, 'What a great idea, maybe we’ll have to do that. That could happen,' ” Trump said during a speech to military personnel in San Diego.
