After listening to the montage of vile, vitriolic threats received by Kinzinger, it’s a reminder of an under-the-radar remark by one Republican, that the reason Trump survived two impeachments is because members of Congress feared for their lives and the lives of their families if they voted to impeach, even as they wanted to vote Yes.

We are officially a banana republic. The environment of political violence is impossible to ignore. It has stealthy negative effects, like inhibiting good people from political participation.

Chilling. No wonder I’m afraid to put a bumper sticker on my car.

We are supposedly an "anocracy," according to CIA criteria. In layman's terms I think it means were headed for trouble.

I listened to those recordings thinking wondering how many firearms those folks might have.
