  hey, we're in the news.
  HEY, WE'RE IN THE NEWS.
context: "We are all Domestic Terrorist" >
  
  That moment slipped by most Americans, but will literally be a photo in a textbook 30 years from now >
  
  I show folk and they scream it’s fake or over exaggerated >

  He's also a convicted felon.  There's a different story about this guy from the same news site.  He led a burglary ring targeting local businesses and was convicted in 2008 I think.  In other words:  The Best People. >
  
  The fact that he served seven years in prison for an armed robbery and then refused to concede after losing his race by a two-to-one margin meand this isn't surprising. >
  
  Republican, oddly enough. >
  
  Really?
  And normally they are so level-headed... >
  
  And so dedicated to the democratic process of compromise and putting the interests of the whole country above their own devotion to the wealthy.  /s obvs >
  
  On Robert E. Lee Remembrance Day? Do they have no shame?! >
  
  Let's see how fox spins this >
  
  Bold of you to assume they'll even address it lol. >
  
  I always search these types of things with "Fox news" just to check. Surprised that they had a pretty straightforward article about the arrest. I doubt they're going to talk about it in their prime time block. >
  
  "If you can't beat 'em, shoot 'em" - GOP 2022 >
  
  "He's not a Republican! That's antifa posing as one!" - Trumplicans everywhere, probably. >
  
  That’s the best part about the insane system the Republican Party has created within itself.  Anyone who does something that upsets the crazies in the driver’s seat of the party is automatically a RINO/antifa/FBI socialist saboteur.  I arch conservative Liz Chaney goes against the mob, she is a RINO, conservatives attack the country, they are Antifa, conservatives conspire to illegal seize power, they are the FBI.  The conservative mob will turn on anyone at anytime. >
  
  Right wing nut jobs have been itching to shoot liberals dead since the 90s. They're tired of waiting. >
  
  I heard someone I used to respect much more say something to the effect that a given "liberal" politician ought to be shot a few years ago, and it fully cemented to be that this is a group that will absolutely engage in and incite violence to get what it wants. Massive effect on my trust in this person and their judgment aside, this person is not actually super political, and isn't one to want to hurt anyone themselves. But they're absolutely someone hearing all this same shit and coming to the conclusion that, well, golly, someone has to do it, for the greater good.
  So, there's clearly someone else taking it yet more seriously, and deciding at some point that now's the time for violence, and they're just the one to do it. And that's why I believe in paying attention to this stuff. It's already hurting people, and that's seen as a good thing. >
  
  
  and it fully cemented to be that this is a group that will absolutely engage in and incite violence to get what it wants
  
  Of course. These are the same people who shot Martin Luther King, Jr. >
  
  Turns out the dude was a convicted felon! That’s who Republicans put up for candidates. Liars, Nazi’s and convicted felons. >
  
  Yeah, but Hunter Biden did crack, so it all evens out. /s >
  
  Let me guess, a Republican was involved. >
  
  The sad part is that only a handful of republicans will make a public statement condemning his actions. >
  
  More Republicans will be making excuses for him than condemning him. >
  
  Tryin to F w America's democracy.   Life in prison sounds good. >
  
  Fucking insane I'm just hearing about these 
  
  Following Peña’s arrest Monday, Albuquerque Police Chief Harold Medina called Peña the “mastermind” behind the shootings. Police believe he orchestrated a December 4, 2022 shooting at Bernalillo County Commissioner Adriann Barboa’s home, followed by a December 8 shooting at New Mexico House Speaker Javier Martinez’s home.
  A third shooting occurred at the home of then-outgoing Bernalillo County Commissioner Debbie O’Malley on December 11. The fourth shooting happened just after midnight at state Senator Linda Lopez’s home on January 3, 2023. In each shooting, no one was hurt. >
  
  This isn't oniony it's just US Politics. >
  
  I read this as "elect" and had to scroll back up, and arrest feels more oniony. Glad he's arrested, not elected. >
  
  
  not elected
  
  Yet. >
  
  “Failed Republican Candidate and Trump Supporter arrested after forming terrorist cell to target government officials” >
  
  Oh look, a deluded and violent republican candidate. Behold the shock. >
  
  the Republican Party is a terrorist organization >
  
  I wonder why they suspected him.
  
  Solomon Pena (R) was convicted of going on a crime spree in 2007. He was 24 when he was arrested and reportedly a leader of a burglary ring. The group would use stolen cars to smash into more than 50 stores in Albuquerque. The crimes totaled up to half a million dollars worth of merchandise.  
  Pena was convicted of 15 felony charges in 2008. He served more than five years in prison and completed his probation in 2021. >
  
  The first sentence of his mission statement: "There is no systemic racism."
  He also thinks solar energy is bad.  This guy is a nut.  I hope they throw the book at him. >
  
  Republican? >
  
  The creepiest thing about this is how it’s not being reported on Fox News. At all. >
  
  Former felon became a republican terrorist because he couldn't handle the simple fact that he lost an election. >
  
  This is why its more effective to leave a window open and let nature take its course. >
  
  You couldn’t make this stuff up! >
  
  
  “It was unknown that this individual [Trujillo] was involved in any type of crime,” said Medina, speaking of what a deputy knew of Trujillo at the time of his arrest. “A Bernalillo County Sheriff’s deputy pulled the individual over, took him into custody, and tagged a firearm into custody.”
  
  Then why did they arrest him, if it wasn't known that he was involved in any type of crime? >
  
  They found a LOT of drugs and guns in his car. >
  
  I assumed it would be a MAGAlite regular lone wolf citizen, not a politician. But considering how many Republicans who lost their elections are such sore losers and are blaming everyone but themselves for why they lost, I shouldn't be surprised. >
  
  Republicans should change the slogan to "Make America Batshit Crazy."
  You got "ABC" in there and everything! >
  
  I'll bet he was pro gun, too. >
  
  The sad thing is that this won't be the last time we see something like this.
