"She should have 9 barrels       > shooting at her to see how she feels about it."              No I understood the context. There is a difference between pointing out       someone is a warhawk and what Trump said. Observe:              "Liz Cheney is a warhawk. She might feel differently if she herself had ever       been involved in a live combat situation."              "Liz Cheney is a warhawk. She should have 9 barrels shooting at her to see       how she feels about it."              Both quotes get the point across. Only one is excessively violent... and       oddly specific.              > MP> "Republican Presidential nominee Donald Trump's suggestion Thursday that       > MP> former Rep.

It gave the context of his quote.              Now that I look back, I included the context in my message re: he was       talking about Liz being a war hawk.              > MP> After Trump got shot, the Republicans and MAGAs were all calling for an       > MP> end to the "violent rhetoric" that supposedly caused it.

But she really should get a feel for it       first.              You are missing the point.                      * SLMR 2.1a * "And then you turn the corner," as the DM chuckles...       --- SBBSecho 3.20-Linux        * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 16/0 19/37 90/1 103/705 104/119 105/81 106/201 116/17       SEEN-BY: 116/18 120/616 123/10 130 124/5016 128/187 142/104 153/757       SEEN-BY: 153/7715 154/10 30 50 700 203/0 218/700 220/90 221/0 1 6       SEEN-BY: 221/360 226/18 30 44 50 227/114 229/110 114 206 310 317 426       SEEN-BY: 229/428 470 700 240/1120 5832 266/512 280/464 5003 5006 282/1038       SEEN-BY: 291/111 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 320/119 219 319 2119 322/757       SEEN-BY: 322/762 341/66 234 342/200 396/45 423/81 120 460/58 467/888       SEEN-BY: 633/280 712/848 770/1 2320/0 105 304 401 3634/12 5020/400       SEEN-BY: 5075/35       PATH: 2320/105 154/10 280/464 221/1 320/219 229/426           |
