  1. Good. I hope she mentioned how Don Jr openly mocked the attack on Paul Pelosi the day after the attempt. Hypocritical scumbags.

  2. What did she get wrong? Trump, Fox and Rs own the fear and hate and division in this country. And maybe Putin. If they get triggered by the truth, we need more of it

  3. Lmao they always get mad when people start talking about how they’re fucking the whole world up.

    Trying to kill your unions, steal your social security, and ban abortion.

    What the fuck have they ever given you?

    Trump’s entire campaign is now centered on hate and fear.

    I’m far more worried about innocent people Trump is targeting being harmed by MAGA nutbags than I am about him with full Secret Service protection.

    She isn’t in my district but I hope she makes a run at the governor spot. She is what we need after 8 years of Murph

    She’s got gubernatorial aspirations, love that she’s coming out swinging

    She’s also a Naval Academy Grad and left upon being promotable to lieutenant commander. She knows her shit

    Dems should start employing a tactic the right-wing uses…the “prove me wrong” tactic. Like, “these assassination attempts are the direct result of the GOP’s dangerous rhetoric and refusal to take gun violence seriously. PROVE ME WRONG.”

  8. Why is it only when Trump is the target (in this case, “assumed” target) that these MAGA jerkoffs forget their “mental health” line? Rhetoric? How about “and this revolution will continue to bloodless IF THE LEFT ALLOWS IT for “rhetoric?”

  9. I already pretty much forgot that there was another Trump assassination attempt.

    Am I the only one?

  10. SKS is not a select fire design, not and never was an assault rifle. Mutts have been found, but a fixed ten round magazine is generally a shit idea with autofire.

    none of which matters for the same reasons it didn’t matter the last time, the shooter was several hundred yards distant, rapid fire isn’t really a factor.

    guns dont assassinate presidents, MAGAts do.

    The headline is not even possible.  Look at how it’s the Democrat’s Fault Republicans cannot control themselves.

    Journalism doesn’t even care about language, let alone democracy.

    They deserve every ounce of blame over the violence circulating this country right now.

  13. Proud to say i helped vote her in & always do. She wrote back to me about trumps impeachment. Great rep.

    Republicans: 2nd Amendment must be completely unfettered so we can use guns to kill tyrants!

    Also Republicans: why are republicans shooting at the guy that said he wants to be a dictator?

    Shouldn’t they be thrilled the second amendment is being used as they repeatedly say it is intended?

    Left: they need to offer more protections to former president trump/ I’m glad he is safe and not hurt.

    Right: why hasn’t anyone tried to assassinate Biden or Harris? Praise anyone who assassinates them.

  16. Imagine if republicans got 1/2 as upset about kids getting slaughtered in schools as they are about an assassination ATTEMPT.
