Sorry, but no. Putting a campaign sign in your yard is a far cry from threatening government officials.

One of the most basic instructions to government agencies is that they must be values neutral in providing services.

It's not threatening violence to FEMA, but it should at least put people on notice that said person believes what their campaign is saying about FEMA.

That's fine.  They should be on notice. 

They're still responsible for doing their job

Witnesses reported seeing a group of armed people harassing hurricane relief workers in a remote Tennessee community last weekend, a sheriff said Wednesday as a man in North Carolina appeared in court for allegedly threatening aid workers in that state.
Allegedly,how about some names(not Pelosi,Kamala,Hunter,etc;) and court records,c'mon this is your specialty  - but sticking to the bombast

Come on...YOU KNOW these people don't want FEMA workers knocking on their door, but the idea that FEMA workers also know this gets the tut, tut treatment. How dare FEMA workers do what all common sense is telling them to do. Don't they know it is their job to make their superiors look fair and balanced?

It's one of my great pet peeves that our politicians and their supporters are never judged by what they actually say and do, but by the vibes surrounding them. Professional victims love that sort of thing.

Interesting. My pet peeve is when people are brainwashed into thinking someone said something they never said.

And Sam, for the record, there’s very few people I don’t know well personally that I would entertain a similar conversation but you have been one of my favorite posters for a while. As two guys that bumped heads for many many years, I can’t believe great my interactions with you have been so even though I don’t see out to eye here, I’m only responding because you are someone I respect enough to engage such divisive topic.

Fair enough. Why would people who work for the government think that people who are just sick of the damn government want them knocking on their door?
This is the thought I had when hearing about Harris' ground game advantage - that she had 10 people knocking on doors for every 1 for Trump.

With all the ads and goddamned political texts I've been getting for 2+ months, it would piss me off to no end if they knocked on my door, candidate be damned!!!
