This is why you can't convince the hardcore Evangelicals that doofus isn't good. (They are already brainwashed) #politics
Some politicians and pundits are saying, "This is not who we are," but it IS who we are.
It keeps happening. We as a society do nothing about it. The phenomenon goes back to the mid-19th Century. FDR escaped an assassination attempt in Miami in February 1933; one of the bullets killed Chicago mayor Cermak.
Our culture teaches to solve our differences through violence. It's on TV every day. De-escalation is discouraged.
We are a shameful, and shameless, people.
End of sermon. (4/4)
In my lifetime, I've been through many assassinations/attempts -- JFK, MLK, RFK, Wallace, Ford (twice, 0 for 2), Reagan, Scalise, and now #Trump. (Expand the net if you wish to include the FBI Cincinnati office shooting and Paul Pelosi.)
There have been a few incidents over the years at the White House. In 1994, a man crashed a Cessna on the White House lawn. In 2011, a man fired at least seven rounds that hit the White House.
Probably more that I'm forgetting ... (3/x)
@duglop I understand that “no one said Biden” — although some on the Radical Right (including at least one Rep in Congress) have. I am trying to understand why that would even upset them (and I’m being facetious) since they are the very people pushing for complete immunity on the part of a president.
Seems my sardonic take on this was too obscure.
There was one more death yesterday that I didn't know about until today This one might hit a few of you...
