We won’t amplify it, but the president posting that Dems are “sick of mind” and “hate our country” immediately after 2 Dem lawmakers and their spouses were shot in their homes is the opposite of leadership. Gas on the fire.

I said this on the other site, but I think the media needs to stop using the word “arrested” if a person hasn’t committed any crimes, hasn’t been read Miranda rights, hasn’t been formally charged with anything and their family and lawyer doesn’t know where they are. It’s kidnapping. It’s abduction.

Yes, beyond everything that is happening. The attack on the American republic, the coming economic carnage, this is a day of great, great shame that we have targeted and attacked our dearest friends and partners.
"We have fought and died alongside you....During your darkest hours...we were always there. Standing with you, grieving with you, the American people.” I’ve had my differences with Justin Trudeau, for sure, but he rose to the occasion here.

Trump promises a “golden age.” But here’s what I don’t get: He had four years before as president. Did he deliver a “golden age”? He couldn’t even pull together a single infrastructure week or a healthcare plan. And he mismanaged a pandemic. Only a cult wouldn’t remember this.

This is the greatest photo comparison ever - puts blue states in the most flattering possible light
Tim Walz (MN Gov) signing bill that gives food to kids for free at school, something that seems stupidly obvious and shouldn't be contentious.
VS
Huckabee Sanders (AR Gov) after signing a bill banning critical race theory from schools then days later signing a bill to make Child Labor legal.

Correction: Democrats are expressing sympathy and suspending campaign ads while Republicans are saying calling Trump a fascist is stoking violence . . . and also blaming Biden and calling for his arrest.
Asymmetrical decency.

so if i understand this correctly democrats are establishing trump as somebody to have sympathy for and unilaterally suspending their campaign efforts while the republicans work to establish a new rule that calling trump a fascist threat to democracy is stoking political violence

It's just hilariously disingenuous. Imagine looking at, say, ALL OF HUMAN HISTORY and concluding that the biggest threat to liberty isn't abuse of power, but powerful people refraining from sufficiently wielding their authority out of fear that they might one day be held accountable.
It's not the worst of it, but what I may be actually angriest about (right now) is Roberts' smarmy smugness and dismissiveness in the final two paragraphs of section IV and the whole of section V. "Fear mongering," "extreme hypotheticals," "our perspective must be more farsighted," and this.
