Someone has shot up a GOP baseball game and hit the Majority Whip. Other GOP staffers and congressional members in attendance and may have been hit

The last time a member of Congress was shot it didn't change anything so why the breathless panic now?

Other than murder being bad in general that is.

Depends on who the shooter is. Last time it was a right wing terrorist freedom fighter, which doesn't count or make changes.

Because a congressman got shot?

I have no sympathy for these people. They want to murder millions of Americans by taking away their health care. Hard to shed any tears about they themselves getting murdered.

A real hellraiser


I will not shed one tear. If AHCA passes how many people has the GOP majority whip personally responsible for their deaths?

I wish he had been hit by an asteroid or stuck by lightning instead, or swallowed by a sink hole. I don't like violence. But I don't give a gently caress about him. He can go to hell.

Ummmmm


quote:

On Monday the House of Representatives’ majority whip, Steve Scalise of Louisiana, confirmed that he gave at least one speech to a recognized white nationalist hate group, the European-American Unity and Rights Organization. EURO was founded by David Duke, a former Ku Klux Klan grand wizard. The May 2002 conference Scalise participated in was billed as a workshop on protecting white “civil rights” and “heritage.”

According to a conference attendee who posted on Stormfront, a white supremacist forum, Rep. Scalise spoke about how the Department of Housing and Urban Development was a “slush fund” that gave money away to “a selective group based on race.”

Dude it's not about the one guy, and even if it was we shouldn't be cheering shooting people in the streets.

It's about what will touch off the powder keg, and in which direction.
