    Why would you attempt this in a stolen vehicle? Has bro never heard of “don’t break the law while breaking the law”?

    Were those voices “literally everyone”?

    Give him a Xanax and sent him home

        In case you’re asking about the phrase itself, it means to let someone continue to do what they’re doing to get results that will probably happen from the path they’re on.

          Oh. OK.

          Thanks

          I mean, I don’t agree with the sentiment, but thank you for explaining it. I was always a little fuzzy on what that metaphor meant.

            More like, “let’s wait and see what happens”

            If I understand the metaphor correctly

              So how would you interpret that being used in this thread? Something is not connecting in my brain. It’s too ambiguous!!

                umm… I think the commenter who used the metaphor was trying to say that they want to wait and see what Miller will do before theY (or we) react.

                I disagree-- I don’t think anyone needs to wait to see what this not-neo Nazi will do, as it’s been crystal-clear what his intentions are since he was born. This guy came out of the uterus Siging Heil. he’s the kind of guy who would call Hitler a ‘pussy’ for not going ‘far enough’

                  No, they’re saying leave the would-be attempted assassin alone to see what happens

    I don’t understand these people who are like:

    Officer: “How’s it going?”

    Guy: “I’m here to do crimes! Wanna see my guns??”

    It has happened a few times. Maybe he’s looking for a free flight back to Venezuela…

      voices told him to kill

      I feel like i can understand why someone who’s hearing voices might not behave 100% rationally.

      Also this is what this administration’s DHS is saying after this administration’s Secret Service arrested him, so… 🤷

      Oh, and they also take pains to say he is an “illegal alien” that entered the U.S. in March of 2024. So you know what THAT means. Biden had OPEN BOARDERS!!!1111

      Honestly, probably just a case where someone needs access to mental health care and I’d like to believe that the DHS is telling the whole truth here. But everything about this administration and the conservatives are so terrible and so suspect.
