Blowing up = contact via phone

I think that is what she meant, however, this is an elected official whose job it is is to communicate effectively during a crisis.

Middle East and terrorism, occasional political and Jewish issues Ping List. High Volume

If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

..................

A ping because this is terrorism in it's purist form. Reminiscent of Socialist Workers Party Presidential candidate (1980) Andrew Pulley statement during the Vietnam war

SWP leader Andrew Pulley made several statements in 1969 in a speech and at an anti-Vietnam War conference to the effect that

... the first thing to be done was to get the GI's to demonstrate peacefully and the ideal thing would be for them to take up their guns and shoot their officers. On another occasion Pulley stated that

... GI's are not ready to take up arms against their officers or to overthrow capitalism although this is the long-term perspective.

In his testimony at the trial Pulley denied making the statements about soldiers shooting officers. The court does not credit this denial. It is apparent that the SWP has not deserted the theory and example of Lenin and Trotsky favoring ultimate violent revolution. A broad survey of the writings of SWP leaders reveals without question that they look to the violent revolution of the Bolsheviks in Russia as a model, and that they contemplate the "capitalist classes" as an enemy, against which they would revolt, if they had the power. Of course, they do not have the power to carry out such a revolution. This brings us to the question of whether the SWP advocates terrorism as a kind of substitute for actual revolution or as an interim step leading to such a revolution.

A statement presumably supported by Bernie Sanders who not only supported the Socialist Workers Party, Trotskyite spinoff of the CPUSA, but stood for election as a Pulley elector. IMO that makes him a Communist supporter. It's no surprise that he'd be a mentor of a current day terror advocate.

I get what you are saying..but there is a difference between stupid and being totally unaccountable.
If you or I said this we would likely be arrested for making a terroristic threat.

“Blowing up” someone’s phone connotes overwhelming communication.

Blowing up their office or house, not so much.

She keeps trying to incite riots like that - as a govt official - someone is going to get hurt - she would be at the top of a lot of people’s list - LANDLORDS!

And she is going to get riots she is NOT inciting and they are not going to be exciting for her nor her brand of antifas!

True. My understanding is that Gitmo is for FOREIGN enemy combatants, not American criminals. Regardless, you are right, she belongs there with our enemies.

I cannot stand the sight or the sound of this vacuous little all mouth no brains bitch!

Like many LIEberal Democrat women, she is an EVIL, NOXIOUS, VENOMOUS, HARRIDAN, cut FRom the same cloth as Nanzi, who has ZERO interest in doing what is right for America!

She, obviously, hates America and is intent on destroying President Trump and the USA!

She and her LIEberal brethren and sistern MUST be defeated in November!

She’s an open socialist; that makes her Foreign in my book.

We spent the better part of the last century training to destroy that ideology and all it’s offshoots, not elect it to power.

Thank you. I was wondering when someone would say it. She's an idiot, but was not saying blow up offices....LOL.

I did like how she was complaining about the federal government not "giving people enough."
