Swalwell Then and Now

When last we saw Rep. Eric Swalwell [Dimwit-CA], he was ending his humiliatingly failed Presidential run. He always fared poorly in the polls, appealing only to those stupid enough to think that they could get him over the individual-donor threshold to get on the debate stage by making repeated $1 donations.

Apparently he enjoys ridicule and humiliation. On May 4, he marked the anniversary of the Kent State shooting of anti-war protestors by National Guardsmen. He tweeted:

50 years ago our nation was rocked when the Ohio National Guard opened fire on student protestors at #KentState, killing 4 and injuring 9 others. We must never forget that freedom of speech and the right to assemble are the lifeblood of our democracy.

Yes, that would be the same Swalwell who threatened to do the same thing to millions of Americans in November 2018.

And it would be a short war my friend. The government has nukes. Too many of them. But they’re legit. I’m sure if we talked we could find common ground to protect our families and communities.

Four killed by government troops is a tragedy. Millions is just good policy. Hypocrisy much, Duke Nukem?

  1. If anything the Wuhan Flu has proven that aspiring tyrants like Duke Nukem mean just what they say. When it has a D after it’s name, it is about control of the “serfs”. When the orders are to arrest law abiding citizens trying to feed their families or buy vegetable seeds you know they want some serious control and they intend to seize it. Duke Nukem was never joking.

    1. The only thing amusing about the Democrat party is the fact that they actually believe anything that they themselves say. I mean, it goes without saying that anyone else won’t believe them, but they cannot possibly believe it either, can they?
      Like the line, ” we don’t want your guns” when in the next breath they say that they will ban a certain category of guns, based upon cosmetic features.
      I was taught not to pick on those who were weaker or less intelligent than myself, but with the Democrats, it really is hard to resist. They are just such a perfect target.
