  1. Would be really cool if they voiced this kinda shit when Republicans make shit up that lead to (attempts of) violence.

    We need to call political violence what it is: terrorism. Charge it that way. Prosecute it that way.

  3. Did Biden mention any direct hatred for a particular musician? Probably not, because that would be insane, stupid, petty, and unprofessional.

  4. Meanwhile Trump anytime something happens he dislikes: “Now is the time for political violence.”

  5. Rounding up legal residents en masse and forcing them to leave is political violence Donald Trump says he will do.

  6. “We have to get over it. We have to move forward.”

    I’m definitely over it, Donald.

  7. I’d have a hard time seeing Trump releasing a similiarly gracious statement if the shoe were on the other foot.

    Meanwhile Elon Musk Tweets out asking a question: why is no one trying to assassinate Harris or Biden? Holy fuck holy fuck!

    Donald Trump ,unfortunately is the one spreading hate resulting into violence in our country.

  10. For fucking *fuck* sakes! Why do people continue to give Trump *everything* he needs to keep playing the victim?! He doesn’t need your help with that! He does it just fine on his own. Do ***NOT*** make a martyr out of him!

  11. So long as there’s a place for school shootings, there’s plenty of room for political violence.

    I thank God that both attempted shooters were Republican. Not necessarily because of political bias, but because all hell would break loose if either one of them turned out to be Democrats. Fingers crossed.

  13. The very worst thing in the world would be if Trump was assassinated and turned into some kind of martyr.

    He needs to be absolutely SPANKED in the upcoming election, and he needs to go to trial and face punishment for at least some of his many crimes.

    Everything MAGA needs to be remembered for all times as a movement of corrupt losers.

    Just here to point out that both would be assassins of Trump used rifles the GOP has worked so hard to make readily available despite an unholy amount of mass shootings in this country.

  15. I agree. It’s a shame merrick garland doesn’t have the spine to properly prosecute political violence and threats.

    I can’t stand McConnell but I’m glad that asshat never got on the supreme court.

  16. We crossed that Rubicon already with the bomb threats, shootings, and hate crimes committed by far-right lunatics against their political opponents. After everything Trump has done, I would not lose sleep over his death. Remember how our intelligence assets got compromised and a bunch disappeared? The one million Americans killed by COVID? How he called our soldiers “losers and suckers”? There is a special place in hell waiting for him, and I am surprised heart failure hasn’t already killed him. Stop pretending he didn’t put a target on his own back, because these attempts on his life are his own fault.

    Also, he is a pedophile and a proven rapist.

  17. Can we not give this more cycles than it deserves? It was just the concept of an assassination plan. A fact of life. Now let’s give some thoughts and prayers and get over it

  18. I voted for him for a reason: he is a good guy. He has changed his perspective over the years, for the better, and I appreciate that. Despite Trump literally trying to overthrow our freaking system, Joe still says no one should be attacked. Let’s get some ice cream with this MFing hero, y’all.

  19. Except for when Trump and crew are constantly blaming minorities and have no issues or even apologizing for all of the violence and threats that are towards those groups. Fucking hiprocates to the core.

  20. If you could, would you go back in time and kill Hitler before he came to power?… My answer is: Only if I know what happens in the Hitler-less time line. I know Hitler was a murderous monster… but he was defeated. What if who comes to power instead is even worse? Is smarter, makes Russa an allay instead of an enemy or develops the atomic bomb first?

    Assassination only kills the messenger, not the evil behind it. Let Trump’s fate be a act of nature and not by anyone’s hand.
