what we know: $15 donation to act blue when he was 17 registered to vote as a republican 8 months later wearing the shirt of a popular gun/explosives youtube channel bomb-making materials found in home (according to latest report by AP) no social media found yet

yes i jumped the gun on that one. lots of emotions. i’ll own it.

or maybe he’s like most of these shooters and has bizarre, inscrutable politics. we’ll see what his social media turns up.

for those who were unaware, this is the type of scenario I was referring to the most high profile example would be the gretchen whitmer kidnapping plot.

he took the time register as a republican after he donated $15 to actblue. it’s certainly strange.

it’s this video to me it looks like the sniper is doing his normal job scanning the area through his scope and then sees the shooter right before the shots. i don’t think there’s much there.

terrible moment for our country. i have no faith our current media environment can help reduce tensions. i hope there are no reprisals. the shooter was apparently a registered republican. wouldn’t be surprised if this was a qanon-type situation.

very epic sir

i doubt a hired assassin would miss a shot like that.

go look at all your tweets in the palestine thread you pos

unbelievable failure by the police and secret service. american law enforcement continues to embarrass itself. saw a video of someone being carried limp out of the crowd by police. given the actual shooter was on a roof, i bet the secret service panicked and fired blindly into the crowd. shooting my shot here, we’re gonna find out this guy was “on the fbi’s radar” and they possibly even made contact. would not be the first time with a mass shooter…..

the joke is at the shooter’s expense, just like @PortaJohn wouldn’t have posted it if he wasn’t clearly okay.

The reality is that neither of these guys are going to be doing much of the nitty-gritty work we associate with being president. Biden is too far gone and taking naps. Trump is watching TV and golfing. You're voting for the people they bring with them. I think a major reason Biden is still in it is because none of the people around him have any reason to be honest with him. Jill loves being first lady (and to be charitable, telling your husband his brain is dying is hard and sad). His staff don't want him to drop because *they're* the real president right now. Same thing happened with Feinstein's staff. Playing Weekend at Bernie's with their boss.

Everybody’s conscience bothers them. What are you referring to specifically in this latest non-sequitur?

still not an answer

no. do you think two wrongs make a right?

What's your view on Watergate?

not an answer

Can any of the conservatives on here defending this explain why they think a US citizen should be able to break the law without consequence? I thought you were the law and order guys?

It's called hyperbole. It's a rhetorical tool to demonstrate how stupid something is. In this case, the idea that the president can break the law because he's president.

Trump's lawyers explicitly argued that a political assassination is an "official act."

What's to stop Biden from ordering a drone strike on Trump now that he has immunity for all official acts? Just say we have "intelligence" that he was in the presence of a suspected Hamas militant.

"They are not an agent of the Israeli government." Incredibly misleading. AIPAC works in close coordination with the Israeli government. That's not a conspiracy or secret. It's a fact. Check out the history here: https://www.wrmea.org/north-america/aipac-election-role-raises-question-of-foreign-agent-registration.html "A strong advocate for registration is M.J. Rosenberg, who worked at AIPAC from 1974 to 1976 and from 1982 to 1986 and worked on Capitol Hill for 15 years. In an article published in The Forward in 2018, Rosenberg wrote: “It’s time for AIPAC to register as a foreign agent...it is a registered lobby on Capitol Hill and it’s AIPAC whose clout on matters relating to Israel exceeds the clout of the NRA on matters related to guns.” Rosenberg points out that AIPAC, which is heavily involved in the U.S. political system, funds candidates who are perceived to be pro-Israel and defunds incumbents who do not subscribe to Israel’s agenda. AIPAC gets away with it, Rosenberg says, “because its founder, I. L. Kenen, came up with a legal loophole by which AIPAC is defined not as a lobby for a foreign state but [as] Americans who support that state…I worked at AIPAC directly for Kenen back in the 1970s…he told me that he came up with the AIPAC formula…so that AIPAC would be legally permitted to engage in politics and not have to reveal its activities.” "Pro-Israel Americans have a right to stump for their cause without accusations of dual loyalty, nefarious Jewish control etc." Would you be okay with an identical organization on behalf of Chinese-Americans?
