Once again, political violence stems from Republican ideology.

    Gunman shot dead in Mar-a-Lago was ‘fixated on Epstein files’

    Did he think they were kept in the bathroom?

      He was just exercising his Second Amendment rights! And apparently the right to bear fuel as well. Maybe he just wanted to talk with his hero about the pizzagate evidence he’s sure must be in those files someplace. I’m pretty sure we only have the officers’ word he brandished the gun.

    As predicted, the gunman was a armed, dangerous and stupid right winger. Actually too stupid to check if his target was actually on location.

    One thing about a large supply of armed idiots is that this offers more chances. They only need to get lucky once…

      That’s the description of every person who has tried to take a shot at Trump, isn’t it?

      Well sure, but wanting to kill the pedo in chief is pretty sane in my book.

        Unfortunately the crazies tend to be crazy because of their poor critical thought, logic, and reasoning skills; meaning they’re largely incompetent as resistance fighters or assassins, which require a great deal of skill, planning, and logistics (especially in a surveillance state, targeting the most protected people on earth).

    But it’s still the Radical Left who’s at fault.

    He drove himself there in his own car, right? He “trans”-ported himself? Trump told us the trans community was dangerous!

      He often complained that young people needed more than one job to survive and had tried to start a union at his workplace to push for better wages.

      Sounds like a radical lefty to me! Case closed boys.

      You could read off a socialist manifesto and 90% of republicans would completely agree as long as you didn’t say any buzzwords. The mental disconnect is astounding.

        That’s actually the point. They’re trained with a Pavlovian reaction to specific words. Their pundits and influencers have trained them with this twisted, inverted “Evil Sesame Street” programming to react with unhinged rage to specific words and phrases. In many cases they largely want the same things, but actually describing those things is impossible because of this conditioning.

    Meanwhile Trump posts an AI generated video of himself punching Canadian hockey players.

        Think that’d work out just fine for him because if a player attempted to retaliate, he has his secret service agents there to gun them down.

          I meant a one-on-one fair fight.

          And, yes I understand that Trump would never do anything that required it to be fair.

    And all you’ll hear on Fox News and from various mouth-breathing right wing influencers is that it was a radical left woke Marxist gay trans Democrat.

      Which is explicitly and purposefully what they accused Kimmel of and with which they attempted to remove him from tv. That air/cable is treated differently is very 1980s, and should be adjusted to the reality of today.
