It's hilarious watching and listening to the hacks fall over themselves to call him President Trump before self

correcting and adding former..

They can’t believe what happened while they have given the CONvicted felon and ReTHUGs a pass on violent rhetoric and ignored real threats to Democrats. Smelvis and his goons orchestrated a fucking coup, attacked Congress and now you’re talking about political violence. All the fucking threats to Democratic leadership, election workers, police, and now you’re talking about political violence.
More people were killed on January 6 than here.

Shut the fuck up you sanctimonious spewers of shit 24/7

hate speech coming from the right isn't the least bit shocked by political violence. It is always just a matter of time for it to happen again (and again).

Look at all the right-wingers who've engaged in violence (Charlottesville, for one example)

White supremacy IS political violence.

Stripping women of rights IS political violence.

Voter suppression IS political violence.

Every single Trump speech is filled with political violence.

And the list goes on and on.

and dividing the country which leads to things like someone shooting at Trump.

They are continuing their hate speech/violent political speech.

But they demand we stop telling the truth about Trump.

It's a relatively new iteration of the definition of domestic abuse. Not like the days when I had to stay at the local women’s shelter.

The new definition expanded to include violence because intimate partner homicide (IPH) wasn't considered then and certainly needed to be addressed.

There was a time not long ago when you didn't bother calling the law because if you had no where to escape to it just meant another beating.

We don't talk about it enough. But we are destined to go back to those horrible days if T** gets reelected.

There's so much we don't even think about riding on this election.

is enough to make one wonder why anything like this hadn't happened decades ago. It's not just the political violence. It's the rape and other sexual assault. It's the cheating and thievery. It's the lifelong racism. It's the all-around thuggery and nastiness. The motherfucker already had thousands of victims in his wake before he ever stepped foot on that escalator. The nation isn't as "shocked" as these whores think we are.

Children can be terrorized every day of the week. They must practice drills to survive gun shootings and they are now talking about political violence. Fuck this shit.

Everyone if walking on eggshells. Some talking head said that MSNBC needed to stop talking about “it’s the end of democracy” etc. They blamed that was farting people “riled up” Of course MSNBC is being careful today.

I haven't seen the press tongue this far up a politician's ass since Reagan. It's really grotesque. The price of fascism remains high, but apparently we're preparing to pay it anyway.
