Bad link, this one should work. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1BiuzYNjU2/

When will Americans stop sitting politely and watching all of this unfold? We just sit and allow unidentified men accountable to no one drag off a citizen for speaking their disagreement at a town hall? Why didn't anyone else help her?

I’m an older woman and I am furious at what I saw in the video! First, why didn’t anyone stand up and help the woman who was being dragged out?!!! She wasn’t the only one yelling out things and she didn’t say anything terrible. Who were the guys that dragged her out and why did they come prepared with zip ties?! This is assault. If they were LEO on duty, they should have worn uniforms or shown their badges. MAgA are straight up thugs.

My guess is that half of that room enjoyed watching her “get what she deserved.” The other half may have been afraid to get shot.

I know that I wouldn’t be able to fight off those three assaulters by myself. I am 5’3 and weigh 111 wet. My inclination would have been to surprise the awful man on stage, grab his mic to distract the nazis making the “citizens arrest,” and to draw attention away from the poor woman getting dragged around by weak bullies who can’t handle simple questions.

They're all claiming ignorance now.


"Kootenai County Republican Central Committee Chair Brent Regan said the group’s legislative committee arranged security for the event but said he didn’t know what company they selected. He said he expected Kootenai County Sheriff Bob Norris to have the details."


"Norris told The Press he came to the legislative town hall to lead the Pledge of Allegiance but remained onsite after because of “an active threat on a legislator and his family.”

He maintained that he didn’t know which company provided security for the event and said he knew nothing about the security arrangements.

“I did not contract with the security company,” he said. “I didn’t have anything to do with the security detail.”

Norris denied giving the unidentified, plainclothes security personnel any direction as they removed Post Falls resident Teresa Borrenpohl from the auditorium and detained her.

Video recordings from the event show Norris approached Borrenpohl as she heckled the legislators and told her to leave. Norris then took Borrenpohl’s arm with both hands and attempted several times to pull her out of her seat."

What that is, I don't know, and apparently neither do Democrats yet.

I don’t know. Republicans got where they are by being the party of obstruction. Their policies are extremely unpopular, and they know it, which is why they distanced Trump from them during the election.

What the Dems need help with is messaging. Republicans excel at that.

The GOP was in this position for a long time. Apparently the "something more" they had to offer was Trump and his clown car. However the Dem party reinvents itself, it won't involve a populist leader who leads a cult.

What they had to offer was a comparison between Trump's presidency and Biden presidency - along with the question are you better off now than you were 4 years ago? Faced with 4 more years under Harris, voters gave him another chance.

And one month in, the economy is in a worse place, consumer sentiment is dropping and they think they can solve the deficit by adding 4 trillion to it, blowing up the government, and adding more tax cuts on top of persistent inflation.

It doesn't take much for opposition Democrats to flood town halls held by their Republican Congressional Reps. While effective video, it doesn't mean the majority of the District feels the same way.

That's really not how the political pendulum works. Trump won enough swing voters because of "we're not the Democrats/Biden". Next election, the GOP is going to be the one playing defense against a terrible record.
