The man who assaulted Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, tried to tie him up "until Nancy got home," according to two sources familiar with the situation. When the police arrived, the assailant was saying he was "waiting for Nancy."
For once it happened to someone who matters. Maybe the political class will take Nazi terror a little bit more serious when they risk being targeted personally?
Probably not. They'll just round up some leftists like they always do and give the cops a bazillion dollars to be more racist.

They tried to do that after Jan 6. And they did a bit more than just the usual performative handwringing and we see you we hear you bs that they do when it's our lives being threatened by nazis and not theirs. But when you look at the entirity of Amerikas's domestic suppression and punishment apparatus and at what insurrectionist fash have been hit with during the last year, it's an absolute fucking joke what they dished out. I doubt this will change significantly. Democrats are precisely where they are because they are deeply, deeply incapable of changing the course of Amerikan politics.
i guess the committee and some of those dorks getting arrested and sentenced is the caring more, but kind of doing their fucking jobs for once feels like a really cheap "caring more" ya know?
I don't even know what they'd do at this point. Every police department and sheriff's office in the country is firmly in the hands of fascists, the military is highly compromised. Where would they even find anyone willing to put their neck on the lines and carry out a purge on behalf of the fucking Democrats?
Maybe they'll try to arm their horde of loyal and devoted lobbyists and send them out to clean house.
