Well if it were terrorism related you know we'd of heard that already, so we have that going for us.

It was a white dude, so terrorism is pretty hilariously far from the motivation (because we don't classify right-wing extremist shootings as terrorism in the US.)

I just heard on Fox that he is getting ready to go into surgery.

Lord, please be with Rep. Scalise as he prepares for surgery to heal his injury. Let Your Spirit be with the medical staff caring for him. Provide comfort for his family. Heal all those injured and affected during this tragic time. Guide our President to make the right choices during his tenure. We pray that the police apprehend the shooter quickly. Please bless America and continue to protect our country and keep us heading down the correct path. Through Christ out Lord, Amen.

Also no matter what really happened by noon the President will claim that there is a terrorist threat to all Republicans and maybe even imply that the DNC is behind it.

I'm sure his phone was physically wrested from his hands upon hearing the news.

JFC, this is the kind of poo poo that springs up on extremist forums, which I'm sincerely hoping SA has not become. You (and I) might hate their politics, but they're still human beings.

Being flippant in the face of tragedies is about as classic SA as it comes, I wouldn't take it too seriously this time either. Go back and read the 9/11 thread and see how well the heartfelt unity held up.

I expect all Republicans to use that as an example of how the media reporting on their actions stoking extreme opinions is resulting in violence targeted at the true persecuted group in America, right wingers. They are probably just work shopping the best way to phrase it right now.

My favorite little tidbit about the roads at the VA/D.C. border is that the police patrolling the Pentagon make a really disproportionate number of DWI arrests. Drunks get confused by the exits and signage at the intersections of Jefferson Davis Hwy, the G.W. Parkway, the 14th St bridge, Columbia Pike, Washington Blvd, and 395 and once they make the wrong turn the one-way streets around the Pentagon baffle them to the point where the police have a good reason to pull them over.

Reinstag fire? Maybe. More likely eats the 24hr news cycle and fizzles out when Trump does something dumb.

I do expect Trump's approval to go up, though.

that's because an attack on their own can be used to spin attention away from his involuntary nixon cosplay. and liberals fall for that poo poo. remember how many liberals donated money when that GOP office got hit? even this thread is going "now is the time to show compassion and be the bigger person! have pity on the poor racist who wants to let people die of preventable diseases!" it's loving stupid but as long as it works they're going to use it to make political hay.
