    These are children.

    What excuse do modern Republicans have? When they made jokes about Pelosi’s husband getting beat with a hammer?

      I mean, for a given value of vileness, I don’t see anything wrong with being privately amused about a person in a position of power getting some form of suffering inflicted upon them, though calling for it is nothing less than a plea for civil war. The problem with the whole Paul Pelosi incident was:

      1. Republicans openly make calls for political violence and then take no responsibility when it happens.

      2. Paul Pelosi wasn’t a politician or anyone of serious note. He simply had the sheer gall to be a member of a politician’s family.
