House Majority Whip Steve Scalise + 2 cops + aides (?) reportedly shot - Page 2 - Politics and Economics

LOL at "politicizing".

I guess conservatives should model the liberals, who said we needed to see the facts before blaming anyone in the Gabby Giffords shooting......

oh wait.

Don't let the bullet in Gifford's head fool you, conservatives were the real victims in that incident.

In fairness, liberals assumed it might be a psychotic rambling angry white guy who had mental health issues and should absolutely not have access to fire arms but for the reflexive dip**** right-wingers whose ideological fetish with firearms insists on allowing assorted morons, ******s, the needlessly angry, and the insane access to whatever weapons they would like.

So I think we had that one nailed. Maybe a little too quickly concluded for your tender sensitives though, I guess.

There's no doubt in my mind that, but for winning the birth lottery, that dullard would be shucking oysters someplace with the word "Wharf" in its name

House was getting ready to vote on a bill that would make it easier to purchase silencers and armor piercing bullets this morning according to the CNN app. Thats on hold now.

10 years from now when liberals win Civil War 2 I wonder if this will be remembered as a Franz Ferdinand moment

Nah, only important people get assassinated. Trump is going to die in prison with a dick in his mouth.

Lots of possible fake news going around this morning. I just want to say let's all be careful and check our sources and not spread fake news and bad information.

Nah, the whole family is full of the type of people who end up successful in middle America. Smart enough to continuously spit out variations of things that sound smart to a dumb person. No shame. Egomaniac. Willing to confidently talk over everyone else in the room.

If he weren't born into his situation, he'd own a vinyl siding company in York, PA and live comfortably in the top 1% of incomes in his area.

He'd still be an idiot and a terrible person, of course.

Just Googled the shooter's name. If I found his correct Facebook page, he's a Bernie Bro.

*sigh*

Let the games begin.

EDIT: And people have found the page. It's difficult to even scroll through his posts, as the comments are streaming in so fast.

So now they are saying the person who asked if it was dems or republican may have just been a curious jogger. No confirmation that it was the shooter. Hardcore conservatives including Kellyann are already balking the dems.

Sigh. This dude's facebook is unfortunate. Also the guy left it public so now all of his Bernie Bro posts are being commented on by right wing mouth breathers.

I think we need a ban on high-capacity folios of Shakespeare that can hold multiple plays at once. Def need a three day waiting period before people can read Macbeth.

fake news already out there, guy who asked republicans or democrats isn't the shooter.

Will this stop R's from trying to push this narrative to stir **** up? Nope.

Saw picture of the accused. Reported to be a self employed midwestern fat old white guy with eyeglasses with those photochromic lenses that look like they're tinted. Bernie Bros posts have to be false flags, I'm handing this guy off to the right wing and claim vindication here. Some things can't be faked. He's gotta be one of you.
