    “It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country.”

    Duuuude, you are massively responsible for the country being a shithole. How is this at all incredible?! The incredible thing is it took THIS long for someone to take a shot at either of ‘em.

      Several assassination attempts in USA history - Kennedy, Lincoln and a couple of others whose names escape me. Political violence has been part of the culture from the get go, when the Pilgrm Fathers set up their little isis-lookalike theocracy.

      Yeah, I was wondering why it took so long. I thought the number 2 reason their redneck gun but types give for why they neeeeeed a gun is that they can assassinate their leader if they don’t like them. Or maybe it’s number 3. Dealing with trespassers, personally taking down an invading military, and assassinations are what I hear the most often

        The meme lords never fail to keep up with the times. I found out about this through a meme too, same go with that twit app becoming a letter and various celebrity deaths. If it wasn’t for memes, I don’t think I’d know what’s happening
