This assassination attempt was almost definitely a false flag.

Let’s, for sake of argument, say it wasn’t.

The location has plenty of security, security that successfully stopped the gunman.

In what world would this mean “obviously we need more security.” The security worked, it has enough funding, also the thing that protects the president is the secret service which is part of the department of the treasury, not DHS.

So the secret service did their job and stopped a threat and for some reason that means we should give an unrelated part of the government more money.

The National Guard never stopped patrolling the streets of Washington DC. The DC police has been placed under federal control. The president himself has called Washington DC "perhaps the safest" city in the United States.

If there's a "moment of national danger" happening under those circumstances, maybe it's not resources that are the problem. Maybe leadership is the problem.

Reichstag fire

I absolutely love how little people are caring about this assassination attempt.

Everyone kind of just wants the same thing and I love that solidarity.

If this had happened to any other president in my lifetime it would be a much bigger cataclysmic event. And I love that it's not going to help his polling.

I was worried this might happen after Trump was wailing about the Filibuster the other day. If only Dems had more than 48 seats in the last 13 years maybe we could have done something about all this.

Raise your hand if you suspect the shooter incident was more like an orchestrated fundraiser.

These are completely unrelated things. Fucking stupid

You can really get anything done if you just arrest one guy near a government function.

They were always going to nuke the filibuster during trumps term. I'm shocked it lasted this long. This whole thing is starting to look like a big coordinated plan. Just hard to see what the end game would be.

A white California man tried to KILL our deeply unpopular pedophile president so we need to get RID of the fillibuster so we can FUND the DHS so that they can DEPORT more BROWN PEOPLE!

Ahhh, and like that, the motive becomes clearer.

Yeah, fake attempt

How would a bulletproof room at your home protect you whilst you're out for dinner?

They can do this whenever they would like to with a simple majority vote.

They call this "the nuclear option" today, because Trent Lott (notorious Republican) came up with the term; it works well for suppression of bills and scaring the proles, so bOtH pArTiEs have used the term ever since.

What did they call "the nuclear option" before Trent Lott (R.)? The constitutional option. not the same ring to it...

... and all to avoid the threat of filibuster... let them filibuster. They have five months off a year, they can always catch up. I posit that the vast majority of members who threaten filibuster are far too lazy and old to actually do it. Much of the "old guard" are over 70 years old, something like 120!

Anyways, they use this "nuclear option" to bypass the threat of a filibuster, and do this whenever they really want something to pass; then, it only needs a simple majority vote.

This parliamentary rule confuses the vast majority of people.

Remember, they can always pass a bill with a simple majority vote (that's what makes Biden's failure to raise minimum wage so frustrating), and even if they couldn't, they don't bother to filibuster any longer. Stop playing pretend.

They're doing the absolute minimum amount of politics so that they have more time to trade stocks and attend "seminars" in The Virgin Islands on the taxpayer's dime.

I can't wait to watch the Guardians of Pedophiles party implode the closer we get to November.

Nah

GOP is pathetic
