SectionC3

Who is “they?” More unnecessary hyperbolic rhetoric.

That’s simply not true. The logic here is absurd. They guy was “leftist,” but had registered as a Republican three years earlier, but maybe became a “leftist” thereafter, but didn’t change his political affiliation because he planned to shoot Trump at a rally that he knew would be scheduled after his conversion to “leftism?” Wow. It’s much easier — and much more accurate — to say that there are too many people in both sides who have gone to an extreme. We can choose to be civil to one another and cut the crap, or we can take a different route.

I’m almost positive Thomas Crooks was a registered Republican. The Michigan guys are the goofs who wanted to kidnap the governor.

Illustrative of rhetoric that needs to be toned down.

Give me a break. Look at Trump’s July 4 remarks. Inciting and beneath the office. He’s hardly alone in that respect, though. Plenty of people on both sides are acerbic and hyperbolic, and they all need to stop.

The guy who shot Trump I believe was a registered Republican. The Michigan guys obviously weren’t “left.” So enough of this nonsense. No matter the source this is wrong. It’s not the time to score meaningless points.

Nothing. And nobody—least of all me—has said as much.

Where is that, exactly?

What’s the point of this BS? Kennedy was shot. Reagan was shot. RFK. MLK. The Minnesota lawmakers. Teddy Roosevelt, I believe. McKinley. George Wallace. It has happened, yes. But it is exceedingly rare given the myriad intellectual disagreements we have in this country. We’re better than this BS. If you want to score political points and sully whomever go for it. But it’s not the time. Here or in real life.

He’s right about the last paragraph, but it’s not the time. We should all be better to each other. Everywhere. After we all pray or pull or light a candle or whatever for a dad who was shot because of his opinions. It’s wrong and it has to stop. I’m not going to get into it now, but fault lies on all sides. Nobody is blameless. If you don’t agree with that, then there’s no sense in discussing it later or further.

Not the time. We should be past that. Somebody said something stupid and untimely. Whatever. Both sides have done it for far too long. Let’s hope this guy survives and be more respectful and open minded with each other moving forward. This is a disgrace, just like Minnesota, and just like any other politically motivated violence. It has to stop. This.

Probably not the time to respond, but with respect to the second point I agree with your nuance. He’s a human. We don’t do stuff like this to other humans in this country because we disagree with them. Everybody, on all sides, needs to tone it down, stop the whataboutism, hope this young dad survives, and then figure out how we can be better to each other moving forward.

It’s bad, and I feel the same way. I might not like his opinions, but I’m pulling hard for him right now because he’s a dad, a husband, and a human. This is disgusting.

Those things probably are true. But they don’t matter, and now is not the time to worry about such matters. He’s a dad, and a husband, and a human. This is wrong on every level. I hope he survives, and that he makes a full recovery. It made my stomach turn to watch the video of what happened. Let’s hope he survives and the we figure out how to calm things down everywhere for everyone from there. This is horrible.

The keystone and pizza or the vegetables?

You would know! At least that’s what the people who call you an incel are saying!

I’m not. But it would be a compliment. That’s a hard diet to follow. Ever try it? Or are you more of a keystone and digornio guy?

You are angry. Lots of people agree. They’re also saying you’re an incel. FYI. Hoax.

You’re pretty angry, so the incel shoe seems to fit you. Also, I call hoax on the GF. You just don’t seem like the type of guy who appeals to members of the opposite sex. At least that’s what lots of people are saying.

Ohhh you mean the thing that Trumo recently tried to pass off as a hoax and that caused him to fire the statistician and that shows what a crappy job Trump is going for working class Americans? That thing? Also, I’ll let your insult slide. It’s obvious you’re a little slow, and probably an incel, so I take no offense at your inciting language.

About what, exactly? And hardly is it that the Trump Administration is to be trusted about, well, anything. Trump may be the most prolific liar in the history of this country.

One way to lower inflation is to shrink the economy and have lousy job numbers.

I was thinking that J6 is the better analog.

Of course this benefits Putin. Now the temp is up, Trump doesn’t want NATO involved, and the bet on the Russian side is that Trump will turn up the heat on Zelenskyy to capitulate. The bet further is that Europe won’t respond (a safe bet, and not because of European weakness), and Russia suffers no harm. Unless, of course, those sanctions that Trump never followed through on are imposed. Which they probably won’t be. So it’s a smart play for Putin.

New maga excuse - it’s not real, but if it is real, it’s auto pen.
