    So did the Romans, the Spanish, the British, the Fre. . . ok maybe not so much them ;). I don't think we're seeing the fall of the U.S. greatness in our lifetime. Not suggesting the election would be the sole cause either. I'm worried about our grandkids, though.

    the country desperately needs this shooter to be some random nutso libertarian or something. If it is in fact a confirmed crazy progressive shit is going to hit the fan and then republicans in office are going to light that flying shit on fire and fan the flames until we’re all bathed in the light of fan-spread burning shit.

    If Trumps rhetoric, according to Democrats caused the “insurrection “ on Jan 6, then Biden is guilty of this. Same principle.

    Nothing lasts forever, not even us. I hope I don't live to see the fall. It will be UGLY.

    I'm not sure it would be ugly, tbh. Too many rich people in power for society to crumble that way. I think it just hurts the have nots, immensely.

    In our history this hardly is the first time some has tried or tried and succeeded it killing a POTUS.

    We’ve been violent since our birth man.

    I don’t like Trump and won’t vote for him but the 24-7 repeat that he is an existential threat to democracy and a whole host of other protections has also helped fuel this.

    Ah yes, he just invited his peeps to the capital for them to do some touristy sightseeing. Definitely made no effort to hijack the election or anything. All just unfortunate happenstance the greatest victim in history had absolutely no control over. Even though he literally orchestrated the whole thing. Who knew an attempted self-coup was so complicated.

    See above. Comparison not even within a million miles of 1/6 in effect or circumstance.

    Sarcasm and dismissiveness is not a rebuttal.

    Im going with the plural here.

    He doesn't get to that roof top with a rifle, with out chicom bots knee deep involved in getting ppl to turn heads, and sit on hands when reports come in about a guy with a gun on a roof top.

    Is this verifiable? There was a man there who saw the guy on the roof and flagged down cops (who reacted with confusion). Not sure how bots slowed that interaction down.

    I've got agree, funny, and depressing but there's no such multiple rating, so I went Best Post Ever.

    Get real. Biden does not know what day it is and craps his pants daily. The Obama/Clinton people are in charge. Their tweets are so disingenuous. Fork tongues. The deep state will try again.

    If Biden did in fact say this, then he's guilty of stupidity.

    In this gun obsessed society, NO ONE on the left, right or anywhere in between should use targeting terminology like that! NO ONE!

    If Republicans generally thought like Democrats, the mainstream Republican statement, not 2 weeks from now, not 2 months from now, but right now… would look a lot more like JD Vance’s statement than Donald Trump’s statement.
