Like trump being convicted of felonies and all his buddies serving time in federal prison

Moderates? I'm sure everyone has already made up their minds years ago.

I would say missing someone by an inch or two is not "badly.". Trump's brains almost ended up splattered across the stage for the world to see. Kind of glad it didn't, I cannot imagine the back last from that.

It's not staged, trump almost died. It was a total failure of security.

The attacker was a kid, I wouldn't read too much into political affiliation. It's pretty sad but sounds like your typical loner shooter scenario, but instead of targeting his school he shot the president.

However,many propagandists will try to connect some dots to rile up their base and Garner support, which is what the media is for.

All in all, totally insane and not ok. Even if I detest trump.

Edit - ex prez

Sometimes security officers wear suits like the rest of staff.

What fancy country are you from?

Hell, I was just down in Ecuador and the 7-11s had armed security guards.. usually more than one.

The hotels had armed soldiers, with rifles.

Our security guard spends most of his time chasing away fentanyl addicts shooting up inside our elevator and cleaning up poop from them after they devour tubs and tubs of ice cream (they poop in our parking garage stairway every single day).

Also, calling the police and helping to coordinate cleanup in the daily car break ins we have at the office. My boss had his truck windows smashed 5 times since 2021.

So yes, some security officers actually do real work. Ours doesn't even carry a gun and said he would not physically interact with anyone unless someone's life was on the line.

Because police encounters with black people has been an ongoing issue since they were brought over on boats to the united states.

Many studies have highlighted disparities in how black people are treated.

For instance: https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/news/hsph-in-the-news/blacks-whites-police-deaths-disparity/

Black Americans are 3.23 times more likely than white Americans to be killed by police, according to a new study by researchers from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. The researchers examined 5,494 police-related deaths in the U.S. between 2013 and 2017. Rates of deadly police encounters were higher in the West and South than in the Midwest and Northeast, according to the study. Racial disparities in killings by police varied widely across the country, with some metropolitan areas showing very high differences between treatment by race. Black Chicagoans, for example, were found to be over 650% more likely to be killed by police than white Chicagoans.

I disagree. Remember how many of Trump's cabinet and campaign members were convicted of felonies?

Also, Gitmo. Just saying. Bush and Condoleeza Rice weren't the ones hooking up people to car batteries.

If you are a corrupt sack of shit, it's easy to get a bunch of criminals to do dirty work for you!

Maybe. But is your alternative just to directly elect Hitler to the chancellorship and short circuit the process?

That's bullshit. Most people I have talked to believe trump should be sentenced accordingly to the felonies he has been convicted of, not executed.

Sure, blowhards in their online echo chambers love to bloviate about all the doom and gloom, but we have seen enough propaganda as of late to question the veracity of these dubious claims.

Most Americans are pretty much fed up with politics at this point. But the misinformation needs to stop.

At high school? They better not!

The Nazi party's racist ideology was based off of the Eugenics movement that started in the US. Fascism has a bit of history in the US as well, besides the NYC Nazi rally.

Mussolini seemed to think that FDR was the same as him: https://italoamericano.org/the-italian-connection-roosevelt-mussolini/

It's obviously a primary source, duh.

That being said, a few years ago we did lose a crow and a bluejay from the fireworks. We found them lying dead in the middle of the backyard the next morning.

This year however so far no dead animals.

They need drones that shoot fireworks!

I live in a city that has criminalized all fireworks, including pop-its. We're talking arrest and jail time are on the table just for transporting them in your car through city limits (I'm sure this violates the Commerce Clause).

However, drugs are legal. I love their priorities.

Oh, and cutting down or trimming trees on your property is illegal without a permit. My neighbor was hit by a $10,000 fine because the street tree died and they didn't pull a permit for it.

Exactly. Movies, the Internet, traveling.

As a life form, the 4 key aspects of life are:

1). Eat 2). Sleep 3). Defecate 4). Reproduce

Literally everything else you do is irrelevant or secondary to the core mission of life.

Since when does wearing a brown hoodie convey that one is a genius?

You need to watch The MythBusters episode of "don't bring a knife to a gunfight."

The results were rather surprising. Also, if you ever take martial arts training, knives are considered incredibly deadly weapons and close quarters.
