Member when nobody wanted to call the terrorists who engaged in an actual terror attack on the Capitol building to prevent the peaceful transition of power on Jan 6 "terrorists" because they were worried that it was inflammatory language?

Trump demands ‘terrorists’ who vandalized his golf course be ‘treated harshly’
(www.thedailybeast.com)
I'm surprised the people who vandalized his golf course haven't been accused of associating with ISIS.
That is, after all, the real accusation. Illegally doing Brown Person Crimes.
I remember. And I've been calling them terrorists since day one, since the term is appropriate. Also, I've been pointing out, when the right cries about the term "insurrectionist", that that term is being far too nice.
They were upset about the term "rioters," and kept calling them "visitors" and "tourists."
That, too, but they got especially butthurt over the term "insurrectionists" when The Media used it. I would not be surprised if donvict gets around to "investigating" the Very Nasty Liberal Media for using such terminology, TBH.
In my view, calling them insurrectionists was downplaying it. And calling them "rioters" - fuck that noise. Riots are not planned.
oh, so everything a leftist does is terrorism now, but when right wingers break into the capital building by force its "freedom of speech"
Using the label "terrorism" does two things for Telsa dealerships and Trump properties:
- They impose unreasonably harsh penalties for the crimes.
- Any damages are paid for by ................... taxpayers.
People charged as terrorists don't have the same right to counsel or speech a as any other criminal defendant. It's pretty fucked.
It’s my understanding that most insurance doesn’t cover “acts of terror.” So wouldn’t this mean Herr Trump and Musk will need to cover these costs out of pocket, based on their own words?
They will need to cover these costs out of our pockets. Remember, they’ve backdoored the treasury department. This is one of the fun things they’ll probably use that for.
Sure, until the next executive order that directly benefits only him and his swamp.

Yes, always has been. That's partly why the FBI got MLK 360 no-scoped while the KKK are special little boys who get no consequences ever.

Bros about to posthumously pardon Timothy mcveigh
Yes? I mean its not a hard concept. You are a terrorist for diagreeing with the god emperor. The only way back is to do 5 Hail Trumps, 3 Trump Prayers, and 1 apology to Elon Musk.

You know, if you just want to help the environment of Trump's golf courses, and also not be arrested for trespassing, seeds are really cheap. Especially hearty grasses.
I feel like planting bamboo all over the place would be quite a nuisance. I've heard it's extraordinarily hard to get rid of and grows very quickly.
Mint I've heard is possibly worse
¿Por que no los dos?
Yeah why not. Also might as well add urine
And salt. Salt kills grass.
And liquid ass in each golf hole.

Marijuana grows pretty fast or maybe some Japanese knotweed.
What do they do?
My understanding is that one can grow a different variety of grass, which will look different than the original grass, and so a message in contrasting grass colors can emerge over days and weeks. And thus convey a message, e.g. I once heard from a veteran that someone had walked across a parade field dropping seed, and making the letters Phi, Tau, Alpha, i.e. FTA or Fuck The Army, arise some time later. It's labor intensive to remove it, once established.
Cause a minor annoyance for the groundskeeper
Well Trump probably doesn't like wild grasses taking over his precious fairways and greens.
Poa annua is a real sonofabitch.
Ooo someone painted words on my grass, I am in terror.
Wait 'til you hear what they've been doing to paper!
All golf courses except those for public use should be appropriated by the state and converted to public housing
Public housing, natural forests, community gardens. Abolish golf.
Golf courses take up more land than is used for sustainable energy. They take up huge amounts of water, poison the land with pesticides, reduce biodiversity, and are used by rich parasites only.
The J6 terrorists enter the chat (since donvict pardoned them).
Scotland should ban the 34 count felon from entering the country, seize that worthless golf course and return the land to nature.
That golf course existed before Trump, since 1906 and should exist after him. But while he owns it, Scotland should put the priority its own citizens ahead of this whiny ass bitch - build wind farms, impose conservation orders, reject planning applications, deny US private / military flights to any airport anywhere close, And audit the ever living fuck out of the course. After all, it is owned by a convicted fraudster so who knows how the books are being cooked.
The Scottish Newburg council should release a statement:
"We need Trump International Golf for national security and international security. We need it. We have to have it. We never take military force off the table."
It really upset him when we built a wind farm within sight of his other one here, we should just blanket them in turbines
Trump translator:
"Terrorist": someone Donald Dump doesn't like
Breaking leftist farts are now terrorism
The GOP version of "Everybody I don't like is a nazi!" It's "Everybody I don't like is a terrorist!" Pathetic
Please somebody use a drone and roundup to draw penises on all of his favorite greens.
Drones definitely seems like a viable attack vector especially on a golf course. I wonder how they could even mitigate unless they had people constantly patrolling with jamming devices
Drones could drop high concentrations of fertilizer all over his course, suprised nobody has tried it yet.
Wild grass seed is better. Reclaim that shit.
I hope Ivanna is OK. Thoughts and Prayers.
Off subject but…how do other golfers feel about that swing?
He's not a terrible golfer, but nothing about his game is pretty. He plays like what he is. Somebody who plays a ton of golf but has always thought he was too good for lessons and won't listen to advice.

I dont give a rat's ass about his stupid golf courses. Waste of good land, they should be turned into public parks. I'm more concerned with harsh punishment for the vandals that are destroying our country.
It was just a peaceful day of love in the golf course though.
