(2) IDC what his political views are, brandishing a firearm where that is illegal is a form of violent behavior that I find intolerable.
Carrying is one thing, brandishing is not another. This individual is obviously not a responsible gun owner, and I disavow him.
(3) If he came to the protest without a weapon, I still would not have been impressed with his actions. He went there to confront the Leftist protesters. I have never supported that behavior, esp. if the person gets physical.
Let them protest. Support free speech.
(4) As stupid as I think Leftist protesters are, I say leave them to it, they're only causing more voters to #WalkAway from the #KeepDiggingDemocrats.
If they get violent, leave it to the professionals (LEOs).
(5) I would not like to bet money on this suspect being a fake or a real Trump supporter.
We know the Left pays people to impersonate Trump supporters. Oldest trick in the book.
We also know some people are thick as pigsh**t.
(6) Local law prohibits the possession of a firearm within 1000 feet of a permitted protest. That law must be unworkable. People's homes could be within that distance.
Anyway, Police were more than entitled to lock him up. I'm glad they did.
(7) I note the Leftist protester pushed him over before he brandished the firearm. Big deal.
Police have discretion. They know when a suspect started something. It's all on video.
That's one of the reasons the guy was stupid. Very stupid.
(8) So now, thanks to this dumbass, the Left have yet another case they can use to tar us all with the same brush.
We don't need to "counter-protest" them. We are cruising to a landslide victory in November. Don't blow it.
(2) Brett M. Kavanaugh will soon be the 102nd Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the USA. He has earned this highest honor throughout his life, inspired by his trailblazing mother, Judge Martha Kavanaugh.
His title for these few hours is Associate Justice Designate.
(3) This statement from the Supreme Court explains the two ceremonies:
(2) This WaPo reporter is incorrect about the vote being "scheduled for" Saturday. The earliest time a vote COULD be held is Saturday pm. There's no reason not to hold it on Sun/Mon IF we need Daines. I think we won't. Read my 5 tweets about him here:
(1) A directory of my Kavanaugh threads since July 9, 2018.
I never planned more than a couple of threads about him this year but, I shoulda known the Dems would try to destroy whoever was the nominee this time.
(2) Like Democrats, I'd already decided how I felt about him before his nomination was announced. I live-tweeted the announcement, which was a great event in itself.
(3) I followed Kavanaugh's progress over the summer and on September 22nd, I finally wrote a thread about the preparations for the all-important hearing on September 27th. It covers the hearing before the next thread started the day after.
(2) Mitch laughing to himself about how absurd it is that he has to push his way through the crowd of reporters on 9/25/18.
(3) Sen Grassley is 85 years old. (Democrats have senators around that age, too.)
Today he had to hold onto a Capitol Police officer to reduce the risk of a reporter knocking him over. This has to stop. Senators must return to being able to walk around freely at work.
(2) First Lady Melania Trump is a natural in this important role.
She's one of those women whose face lights up whenever she is around children. God Bless our great First Lady.
👠🇺🇸
(3) FLOTUS left Joint Base Andrews in her trademark high heels and arrived in Ghana wearing practical flats. She still looks sensational, whatever she happens to wear!
(2) Cloture in the Senate is a procedural step that you can learn more about at the link below. The senate.gov website is the best resource for learning about Senate procedure and a lot more. Same for house.gov.
(3) Watching live Senate floor proceedings is boring as hell, as they pass bills for naming Post Offices, & so on. But every now & then, they confirm a SCOTUS judge. And this time, they will affirm our great #BillOfRights#DueProcess & the hard-won #RuleOfLaw. Seriously. 🇺🇸🦅
