Or.

Maybe.

Both are actually really bad, and the bases' of both parties' are ignoring, minimizing, excusing, or cheering their own tribes' violence while using the others' to whip themselves into a furious panic that will in turn be used to feed and justify more violence, and this can only be stopped if both broad sides start policing their extremes.?

Actually, I usually vote left of center...

My voting history has been voting GOP from 1980 to 2008, and Democrat from 2012 to today. But the Democrats are quickly using up my goodwill.

But left-wing crazy on this board is just as bad as right wing crazy over at USMB.

This has nothing to do with both sides cpwill. This is a story about a right winger who decided to kill Democrats. Don't be a script follower and start yapping about how everyone is equally bad.

Or he was going to use them to infiltrate a rally and then use one of his AK on them. They are pretty rudimentary, I bet he made them himself.

Maybe? It's a different MO, but, maybe he saw it as a kind of f-d up Grand Finale or something.

Sure, and Trump would never ignore the law. FFS, are you even paying any attention to reality? Trump has declared war against the Left. That is why there are Marines in LA. And why Noem assaulted a US Senator. They are not following the law at all. They believe they took the USA from us with a mandate by the people.

Stop acting as if MAGA is staying between the lines. They said what they were doing to everyone already.

You're not wrong, but Trump won't pardon this guy ex nihilo.

I'm not saying never.

But, Vance whatsitdohickey has not gotten the Horst Wessel or Ashley Babbit treatment. He's got the wrong profile for all that right now. We'll see in a year.

But, not now.

No, that's absurd. Any large breakdown in the system will lead to mass starvation in less than a week. Cities have a grand total of 18 hours of food on average. Stop the trucks and trains, nothing good happens.

What I am saying is, if there is a chance to make their lives worse, I am going to take it. I am not actually required to call an ambulance if some moron with Trump bumper sticker piles up his F350, for example. You can bring a lot of shit down on people without actually shooting at them.

Look at this thread. We know who the guy is, we know exactly what he is, and still the MAGAs continue with the world's shittiest attempt at gaslighting.

Add in what Senator Mike Lee said, and that no GOP senator was inclined to censure him for it, and ask yourself if you WANT to be reconciled with these unamerican bozos. They are snakes. You don't pick snakes up, at least not around here.

This.

Also, learn and practice what cache means in a Belgium, 1943 context.

As I posted a few times, Fox News and Newsmax doesn't even have this as their top story.

A guy went on a rampage and was trying to assassinate a bunch of Democrats, shot two, and that's not the top story for those two entities.

If people don't think far right wing media is complicit in many of our problems than they're lying to themselves. It's not always the lies they tell, it's the stories they ignore as well. Or de-emphasize.

You don’t think Israel attacking Iran over developing a bomb that could kill millions, not good enough as a top story?!? Your just playing politics.

Didn't Trump talk about pardoning the guys that were going to kidnap and kill the Democratic Gov of Mich? Didn't he just pardon a group of "protestors" that were talking about hanging Mike Pence and Nancy Pelosi after breaking into Congress?

It's not a "both sides" problem. I don't care what random people on the internet say. When people high up in the party (Sen Lee, Trump) cheer on violence that's a problem. The stuff a Senator on the right has posted and the stuff Trump has said about incidents like the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband is just one side.
 
Trump's DOJ is prosecuting this Guy. Pam Bondi is prosecuting this guy. Trump is NOT going to pardon him. However, he may direct her to drop the investigation

And there you have it. A MAGA protecting Fox/Newsmax so that Fox/Newsmax can continue doing their disgusting things.

Um, no, this guy had issues that were far beyond his political leanings. It appears he was MAGA, but he also dipped his toe in the Democratic pond.

So we will see a bunch of people all try to pin him on the other side. This is what they did with Thomas Crooks (the guy who shot at Trump) where a one time $15.00 donation to ACT BLUE supposedly made him a Deep State Operative.

Look how many bizarre conspiracy theories still float around the JFK assassination, where Oswald was supposedly working for the KGB, FBI, CIA, Cuban Exiles, the Mafia and the Roswell Aliens.

You know that was a fake "assassination" attempt, right?

Are you sure it's not the Minnesota AG prosecuting this guy?

This is the only person who reported it but it’s been called into question.

For example, Dean Phillips said his name was on the list but his name doesn’t appear on the list from that person.

A lot of women on this list.

Then why don’t you start by policing your side’s extreme. After all, @justoneman on this very thread is shopping around a No Kings Flyers Conspiracy Theory and we can’t help but notice that you seem incapable of crossing or confronting him. Trix did the same yesterday and did we see any @cpwill policing? That’s right, he was nowhere to be found.

I get it, and I don't know why I want to be all Don Quixote about it. We like to pin the things we hate on the people that we hate. It's a sport here. It's just a sport that I dislike when there's so many important things to talk about.

You've obviously been here longer than me but in my time I've realized that many posters here represent the fringe of their political beliefs. Folks here eat, sleep and generally revolve around the goings on in politics and are thereby emotionally invested to the max and unable to see things from more than one perspective.

Both are. He is facing State and federal charges. The Federal indictment was presented in court this PM.

If it's many, it's probably not fringe.

Yes appears to be a textbook MAGA, replete with attending rallies and praising Donald. No word yet on whether he owned DJT or $TRUMP, nor the current whereabouts of his MAGA hat.
