Right wing terrorist? Sorry this was just a crazy lone wolf definitely not inspired by increasingly inflammatory speech from Republicans and just because their manifesto will inevitably sound like a Tucker Carlson show transcript like every past mass shooter incident in recent memory is coincidence

Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.
First thing elon did was light 206 million dollars on fire with the golden parachutes he activated.

The second thing was open the floodgates on the n-word, k-word, and other hate speech.

CNN posted:

The man who allegedly attacked Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi’s husband early Friday posted memes and conspiracy theories on Facebook about Covid-19 vaccines, the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 attack.

David DePape, 42, was identified by police Friday as the suspect in the assault on Paul Pelosi at the speaker’s San Francisco home.

Two of DePape’s relatives told CNN that DePape is estranged from his family, and confirmed that the Facebook account – which was taken down by the social media company on Friday – belonged to him.

His stepfather, Gene DePape, said David DePape grew up in Powell River, British Columbia, and left Canada about 20 years ago to pursue a relationship that brought him to California.

“I really don’t know what to think,” the suspect’s uncle, Mark DePape, said of his nephew’s alleged attack on Pelosi. “Hopefully it’s a scam. I don’t want to hear something like that.”

Last year, David DePape posted links on his Facebook page to multiple videos produced by My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell falsely alleging that the 2020 election was stolen. Other posts included transphobic images and linked to websites claiming Covid-19 vaccines were deadly. “The death rates being promoted are what ever ‘THEY’ want to be promoted as the death rate,” one post read.

DePape also posted links to YouTube videos with titles like “Democrat FARCE Commission to Investigate January 6th Capitol Riot COLLAPSES in Congress!!!” and “Global Elites Plan To Take Control Of YOUR Money! (Revealed)”

Two days after former Minneapolis Police Officer Derek Chauvin was found guilty of killing George Floyd, DePape wrote that the trial was “a modern lynching,” falsely indicating that Floyd died of a drug overdose.

He also posted content about the “Great Reset” – the sprawling conspiracy theory that global elites are using coronavirus to usher in a new world order in which they gain more power and oppress the masses. And he complained that politicians making promises to try to win votes “are offering you bribes in exchange for your further enslavement.”

Most of the public posts on DePape’s Facebook page were from 2021. In earlier years, DePape also posted long screeds about religion, including claims that “Jesus is the anti christ.” None of the public posts appeared to mention Pelosi.

That Black Adam review is confusing. He seems to have simultaneously liked and hated it, and the main reason he hated it was because it gave him vague feelings of "wokeness" but also it wasn't woke so critics are dumb for not liking it? At least I think that's what he's trying to say.

Yeah this wasn't an attack at an event or outside somewhere, this was in the Pelosi house.

Sounds to me like basic cognitive dissonance. He expected to hate the movie because he knew going in that it contained content that was supposed to enrage him (because his favorite information sources told him this), but ended up enjoying it anyway, and resolved this by blaming the mainstream critics, who must have tricked him somehow

This is a weird Tweet. Process servers aren’t supposed to engage in the kind of evasion and breaking and entering a guy with a hammer and the intent to harm would. If everybody’s just punching a clock and not taking the assignment seriously, I can totally see how a random white dude could sneak in.

I mean, it doesn’t change the central fact of “third in line to the presidency, but household security isn’t up to the task.”

Like exactly what Mission Impossible style parkour entry are we to believe this guy executed? I’m going with lazy/complicit cops, but that’s not really two terms you can tease apart when it comes to cops.

Apparently the cops were on prem, the guy took a hammer to a window and waltzed right in screaming for Pelosi, the husband confronted him and the guy decided he was going to tie him up while he waited for Nancy to show up and the cops came upon them struggling for the hammer in the doorway and witnessed the whole attack and tackled the guy. At 2:30AM there aren't going to be any staffers about, especially I assume if Nancy isn't there, and this guy just waltzed right up.
