“ If someone does not turn an AR-15 or an AK-47 , one of these weapons of war , or brings @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , in an attempt to intimidate … then that weapon will be taken from them , ” Beto threatened .
“ If they persist , there will be other consequences from law enforcement.
” Biden , for his part , has expressed a willingness to fabricate information as a means to implement his gun control policies .
At the last Democrat debate , he made the wildly inaccurate claim that 150 million Americans have died due to gun violence since 2007 , nearly half of the entire population of the United States .

“I was a Joe Biden supporter for a year. And my position always was if Joe Biden […] I knew there was going to be a lot of candidates. I knew who all, you know, Elizabeth Warren, I knew Bernie was coming back, Cory Booker and all that,” he explained, according to Breitbart News. “I said, if he can somehow make it through the Democratic primary process, he’s by far the best candidate to beat Donald Trump — first of all, to unite the party, to beat Donald Trump, to hold onto the Congress, to get the Senate, and to be able to govern and to be able to bring back the world to America’s side.”
If we want to protect our Democracy, if we want to protect our Environment, if we want to rid our Republic of the Criminal in the White House, cast your vote today for the next President of the United States, Joe Biden. — Rob Reiner (@robreiner) March 3, 2020
Reiner then shifted to talking about Trump’s victory in 2016, and that’s when things got really weird.
“We know what he is now. We might not have known then. We know what he is now. He’s a liar. He’s self-involved. He doesn’t understand how public policy works,” he said. “This is very important. We are looking at two existential crises; democracy and the world, the earth. If we don’t take this presidency away, we’re going to lose democracy, and we’re going to lose our ability to live on the earth. And I want to just remind people, Bush/Gore. And people who are friends of mine said ‘I’m going to vote for Ralph Nader, there’s no difference between the candidates.’ Please, that’s a 20-year start on climate change, and we don’t go into Iraq. I’m just saying. You have to unify behind whoever.”
Give me a break!

Democrats love peddling the melodramatic narrative that the world is going to end if Trump gets re-elected, seemingly not realizing that Americans can see right through this. American voters are far smarter than the Left gives us credit for, so we know that we’re being lied to when crazed leftists effectively tell us that the apocalypse is coming because of Trump.
Reiner has let his Trump Derangement Syndrome consume him to the point where he’ll literally do or say anything to get this president voted out of office. Democrats might want to start distancing themselves from this Hollywood propagandist, because the nonsense he’s spewing isn’t going to convince anyone to vote for a leftist in this election.

Michael Bloomberg was confronted by a town hall audience member over his hypocrisy in wanting strict gun control in America while simultaneously employing armed security to protect him .

Bloomberg responded to the man ’ s concerns as you might expect an out-of-touch , exorbitantly wealthy elitist to respond – he needs guns and protection because he ’ s rich and famous .
“ Look , I probably get 40 or 50 threats every week and some of them are real , ” Bloomberg replied .
“ That just happens when you are the mayor of New York City , or you ’ re very wealthy , or you ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ States , you get lots of threats.
” Don ’ t you see it ?
Unlike you common folk , his threats are real .
You don ’ t need self-defense because you ’ re not wealthy or running for President .
Bloomberg proceeded to say that , also unlike the common American , his people are actually well-trained in the use of their firearms .
“ I have a security detail , I pay for it all myself , ” he explained ( he ’ s wealthy , you see ) .

The supposed details are that Pence would get a high profile cabinet position like Secretary of Defense. That kind of slot could burnish his credentials for a 2024 White House run. It would not be sold as a Pence demotion, but merely a lateral move.
Haley’s benefit to the ticket is glaringly obvious. She’s a very telegenic minority conservative female former governor from a deep red state. She holds up well in public and is sharp in debate. Her time at the U.N. gives her national security chops and her elevation says the GOP is thinking strategically to extend its victories for years past the Trump era.
It would also make the GOP August convention in Charlotte, NC, crackle with excitement, as the announcement would be made there.

Now of course this could be a contrived news ploy, and not at all legit, to add some spice right now to the GOP re-coronation of the president. There will probably be more message test runs like this between now and August.
However, master showman that he is, the president is bound to do something to make Charlotte interesting. As for what it is, the guesses are likely to keep on coming.

thepoliticalinsider--2020-03-03--Denver Democrat Councilwoman Endorses Infecting Trump Supporters With Coronavirus

Candi CdeBaca , a Democrat councilwoman in Denver , seemingly endorsed a tweet that supported infecting Trump supporters with coronavirus .
CdeBaca , the Democrat representative for Denver ’ s 9th city district , quote tweeted a tweet with a graphic that said , “ for the record , if I do get the coronavirus I ’ m attending every MAGA rally I can.
” The councilwoman replied by writing “ # solidarity Yaaaas !
!
” The original tweet was deleted , but at the time of writing , CdeBaca ’ s is still up .
The Denver Democrat @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , with many people calling on her to resign from her position .
CdeBaca has previously said that she believes in the “ community ownership of land , labor , resources , and distribution of those resources , ” and is “ excited to usher it in by any means necessary , ” which is the literal definition of communism .
The Denver Democrat has also praised the actions of Cuba , one of the remaining truly communist countries on the planet : I ’ ve been in places where we ’ ve @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ ve been to Cuba .
I love Cuba .
I love the way there ’ s not that rampant consumerism like we have here .
But I do understand that Cuba , in the global context , they still have to deal with capitalism .
They still rely on tourism .
They ’ re still shut off from a world that ’ s making them think they ’ re missing out on something .
But I don ’ t think rampant consumerism has served us well .
I think there ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ both political and economic .
We ’ ve allowed the concentration of wealth through the concentration of political power .
Her tweet therefore shouldn ’ t be a surprise to anyone at all .
CdeBaca is someone who supports literal communist ideology , and the implementation of it “ by any means necessary.
” That should really be the biggest red-flag – “ any means necessary ” doesn ’ t stop at violence .
What also won ’ t be a surprise is when the Democrats do not force her to resign – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for speaking their mind .

The Denver Democrat was immediately slammed for her comments online, with many people calling on her to resign from her position.

You should resign from the city council immediately you evil, soulless woman. — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) March 3, 2020
You should be ashamed of yourself for wanting Americans to die because of their political views. You are a stain on humanity and you should be removed from your government position.

CdeBaca is a Literal Communist!
CdeBaca has previously said that she believes in the “community ownership of land, labor, resources, and distribution of those resources,” and is “excited to usher it in by any means necessary,” which is the literal definition of communism.
The Denver Democrat has also praised the actions of Cuba, one of the remaining truly communist countries on the planet:
I’ve been in places where we’ve demonized people for being Communists. I’ve been to Cuba. I love Cuba. I love the way there’s not that rampant consumerism like we have here. But I do understand that Cuba, in the global context, they still have to deal with capitalism. They still rely on tourism. They’re still shut off from a world that’s making them think they’re missing out on something. But I don’t think rampant consumerism has served us well. I think there’s a clear problem with our structure, both political and economic. We’ve allowed the concentration of wealth through the concentration of political power.
Her tweet therefore shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone at all. CdeBaca is someone who supports literal communist ideology, and the implementation of it “by any means necessary.” That should really be the biggest red-flag – “any means necessary” doesn’t stop at violence. What also won’t be a surprise is when the Democrats do not force her to resign – unlike conservatives, leftists are never punished for speaking their mind.
