Ricochet is the best place on the internet to discuss the issues of the day, either through commenting on posts or writing your own for our active and dynamic community in a fully moderated environment. In addition, the Ricochet Audio Network offers over 50 original podcasts with new episodes released every day.
The podcasters today consider crime up close and personal—yesterday I was in proximity to four different acts of violence and another was nearly burglarized. Is there a larger meaning to these actions? Do they connect somehow to the president’s seeming acceptance of the harassment of Kyrsten Sinema? And how are we to understand them in light of the Justice Department’s decision to focus on supposedly terroristic efforts to intimidate school-board members? Give a listen.

At the risk of being impertinent (heavens!) Why would the justice department calling protesters domestic terrorists come as a shock?
Democrats have called republicans terrorists, hostage takers, suicide bombers – etc and worse particularly since 2016… I have no doubt in my mind that this going to be used as an intimidation tactic to quell protests in democratic strongholds. These tactics will be used largely against democrats not republicans.
Remember that without a few large democratic cities – the democrats have no real power base in most of the country. Joe Biden – the most popular president ever elected only won 11% of the counties in the country…IF electoral votes where given out by congressional district instead of by state – Biden would have lost in a landslide….
