    Interesting how God chose to protect Donald J. Trump [according to Trump and others] but blow the head off a retired public servant who had covered his family.

    This, but also the same for the moderate right and far right.


    We need a Standard Deviation Party. Beliefs ranging one standard deviation from the center in either direction.

    What we need is a common sense party.

    term limits for all elected and appointed officials
    Lobbying that includes money made illegal
    Congress has same insider trading rules as rest of us
    Reasonable gun controls like the constitution says
    Corporations are not people and don’t have same rights
    News programs need to tell truth or be held libel, anything opinion labeled as such

    There is a reason I stopped believing in a god a long time ago. I know humans love to explain these situations with the typical "god does things for a reason" but yeah, no one deserves to die in this situation. It's tragic but it's just the reality of life and random chance in this case.

    Wishing death upon political opponents is not common sense. It lacks any decency and morals.

    Walsh uses poor reasoning and dictator logic.

    You don't kill (or admit to killing) political rivals in the name of preserving democracy.

    It'd be like "wondering aloud" why Joey won't just try to invalidate election results like what Donny did to prevent him from becoming an evil dictator.

    He was probably abused as a child and didn't like that Trump was linked to Epstein.

    The assassination attempt actually unmasks the extremism of people like @DaDakota who openly wish death upon political opponents.

    The reality is, people like him wish the assassination attempt would have succeeded.

    I don't like Trump as a person. But if Trump were actually Hitler, he would have never left power. And he didn't do anything close to what Hitler did in his first four years of government. I would argue that his government's foreign and economic policy was vastly superior to Biden's.

    Biden's government also allowed DEI and woke cancel culture to proliferate more and was much more into restrictions of freedom of speech than Trump ever was.

    And of course, as usual, their solution to everything is what leftist governments always want - higher taxes and more big government.

    Overall, a Republican government is better for the country and the world.

    Trump is still an ******* pedophile rapist, and should be in prison anyone supporting him can **** off !

    You don’t support evil.

    The USA is better off under Biden and every single stat supports that.

    No matter what our German - selfish, immigrant hating, gay slurring…bbs idiot says

    I give dakota credit for not doubling down on his death wish to Trump after the attempt. He is smarter than quite a few people on social media.

    It's funny people reference the yard signs in Crooks family home as evidence he was a Trump supporter.

    I mean, Crooks might have been a Trump supporter [Though, he did try to kill him and its still unclear why or what exactly his political leanings were] but in what percentage of households is the child putting out political yard signs?

    95%+ chance it was his parents who would put out any political yard signs and they don't necessarily reflect the views of the other members of the household.

    I don't think you can say that murder is morally justified. That's a really outrageous leap.

    I can fully believe that a man who tried to overturn our system of government to stoke his own ego, and has surrounded himself with loyalists who perpetuate his lies, is a threat to our stability and doesn't deserve to be murdered.

    In my youth we used to drive around Nassau Bay and switch everyone's "Elect" signs dems to repubs and vice versa.

    MAKING FUN OF PAUL PELOSI AFTER HE WAS ALMOST MURDERED IS NOT COMMON SENSE. IT LACKS ANY DECENCY AND MORALS.

    I honestly think most people agree on about 85%, but politicians and idiot town criers get us screaming about culture wars when that matters the least.

    Lobbying is number 1 problem in this country, congress for hire.

    you made fun of paul pelosi after he was almost murdered. you even accused him of being gay. you acted in a totally dispicable manner in that thread and you should be reminded of it every time you post your garbage in here.

    by your own standards you are an extremist as well. so are trump and don jr who also made fun of the pelosis after the hammer attack.
