    Fwiw I'm for some reason listed as a registered Democrat in alachua county despite registering as a Republican there when I turned 18. It's almost like these systems aren't infallible.

    Only reason anyone cares what "side" the kid belonged to is so they can point fingers, kind of funny since that exact behavior is what got us all to this point. But, lots of money to be made and power to be gained by distracting and dividing the masses so they'll vote for you and against their own best interests. Without division they might do something dangerous, like discuss actual issues.

    So her experience was protecting cereals, sodas, and snacks? Excellent.

    Yeah this is what I told the posters who were immediately blaming liberals minutes after the shooting.

    Unfortunately you are already failing to follow your own advice…

    “The shooter was your typical right-wing gun lover. The NRA has blood on its hands!”

    Let’s see if you delete/edit that post to follow your own advice.

    He could have registered GOP to frame it this way. I mean, if he’s crazy enough to climb on a rooftop and do what he did, why would we assume anything about this guy? People cross register all the time for a variety of reasons.

    I was mocking the “liberals have blood on their hands” posters. Now are you going to tell the posters who immediately blamed liberals just minutes after the shooting to edit their posts too? I can guess what the answer is.

    If he was a registered Democrat this definitely would not be your train of thought.

    He encouraged people to peacefully protest on the Capitol.

    Again, where is the evidence that he wanted Pence hanged apart from statements from third parties?

    Democrats seem to be subdued/depressed today. So close.

    If assassination.is a banned topic theods should let us know. My view is the 3 major candidates are all in danger of being assassinated. I wanted to put the topic in play a few days ago but apd edited out my comment. My view is if everyone is talking about it the chances of it happening are decreased.

    You really thought that out didn't you? Who said he was a member of the NRA? Anyone who cared about the right to own guns would not shoot anyone much less the former president. If anything he gives the anti gun rights people like you one more thing to use to try and take away people rights to own firearms.

    The t-shirt he was wearing seems too obvious. He likely knew he would be shot afterwards. The t-shirt makes it feel like he was framing.

    Considering that people recently tried revoking his secret service, no, I don’t think people saying “he was shot in the head” are exaggerating in the worst way.

    I think people like you who are now pointing to right wing acts of violence and blaming this on Trump are dismissing this in the most despicable kind of way.

    I’m gonna wait for all the facts to come out. For now, all I know is that a registered Republican gun nut shot Trump.

    The video made it seem like he immediately grabbed his ear. I think he was grazed
