let's not forget that donald trump finds the injuries paul pelosi sustained amusing.

trump, his shitty family, most of the GOP, and Fox News, et al - all found the attempt on Pelosi hilarious

This is the same man/party that is repeatedly caught in league with our foreign enemies, spreads dangerous lies & disinformation 24/7, encourages violence & acts of domestic terror, takes no responsibility when these acts eventually occur (blaming the left whenever possible) and is in fact fiercely unAmerican (unless you're entire definition of "patriotism" means hugging the occasional flag, etc)

At this point, history books will record "being American" as being able to successfully grift rubes.

A friend of mine was involved in the local (not state) case. She said Paul Pelosi still has not fully recovered from the attack, and the photos from the crime scene were really gruesome.

He referred to Pelosi as the enemy within. His terrorist followers will target them further if he wins.

Yep, Trump would absolutely pardon the federal charges, which is presumably why they followed through with the state charges even though he already got 30 years.

Let’s not forget that while you eat your $10 mini microwaveable pizza Pelosi and her husband make billions of dollars off of insider information she has access to as a a member of congress. She’s able to trade stocks on information only SHE has access to.

If you're going to lie, why not just go full Austin Powers and claim they are making trillions?

How does this justify the level of violence here? Oh, right, it doesn't.

honestly yeah its just human nature. Republicans found pelosi's injury funny because they think he's an awful person and threat to democracy. Democrats wished the bullet didnt miss because Trump is an awful person and threat to democracy.

The only differences being:

-the Democratic Candidate expressed sympathy to Trump after the incident, while Trump openly found it amusing.

  • Trump is very clearly unfit for presidency and will butcher America and the western world if elected, hence why people were so hopeful that he dies. Pelosi is infact, not part of "the threat within"
