This can always be made into an opportunity to improve faith in American politics. With a sly admission from Biden that much of his mumbling is due to restraint to a manner a civility that Magats can only aspire to a quarter of, Trump camp can make a humanistic shift in hopes of a genuine PR victory. This means bringing real issues to the table and speaking with a whole lot more common ground when publicly debating. I'm tired of what has only amounted to the same mudslinging of old.

For fuck’s sake. All these Republicans are just ignoring the fact that the shooter WAS A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN.

We need this shouted from the rooftops and thrown into every headline. This should be the only response any time someone in the GOP in Congress says that the left has been calling for civil war.

If biden ordered a hit it would have immunity.

Sounds like a defamation lawsuit waiting to happen.

Except it seems that "political speech" has a blanket exception.

That's how some politicians can have careers spanning decades having said not one true word in public.

That was expected. But is that a mullet?!

Normally it would provide +12 armor and increased agility bonuses.

On a piece of shit Qanon pinheaded republiQan senator it’s just -40 intelligence and increased batshit modifiers.

It would be within his legal right to do so that is to SCOTUS. That said, if the POTUS wanted to whack a guy, they probably wouldn't have gone with the 20 year old at a political rally.

Seriously, he could order the secret service agent driving him around or a number of other trained armed individuals close to him. Instead of making the orange piece of shit a martyr.

He’s still be a martyr though. Unless maybe you make him disappear without any trace. Then start rumors a la Hoffa or Elvis.

Still I think some of his hand picked SS detail really support him and might not follow such an order.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 months ago

I agree with all of that, but right now he's a martyr that can still take office.

I think the best part of this article is the writer for The Federalist comparing Donald Trump to JFK
