Rep. Steve Scalise was upgraded to fair condition Wednesday, as FBI officials disclosed more information about the gunman who was initially in critical condition at  shot him on a Virginia baseball diamond last week.

The Louisiana congressman and House majority whip was shot in the hip and initially in critical condition at MedStar Washington Hospital. But officials upgraded his condition for a second time Wednesday, and his office said he "continues to make good progress."

Meanwhile, FBI officials said leftist gunman James Hodgkinson had more than 200 rounds of ammunition at a local storage unit when he attacked Republican lawmakers as they practiced for the annual Congressional baseball game.

Sadly, just another attack that will soon be forgotten.

A worrying 'final solution' proposed by someone with a pauce grasp of law and human decency. Simple1 rightly points out the basics of international law and the domestic legal mess. 

 

I'd simply add The United Nations Special Rapportuer on Torture has found that various aspects of Australia’s asylum seeker policies also violate the Convention Against Torture on Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. 

The UN is a joke. None of their policies hold any water. It isn't a suicide pact.

Even without a scientific poll, I can say with considerable certainty that most people in society do now want to be isolated, narrow-minded and fearful old white men who are bitter that others have taken opportunities that they had no capacity to exploit. Most of us enjoy the benefits of diversity and change. 

 

 

The hatred for white people wanting to live in peace is really astounding. God forbid someone choose self preservation over a social experiment.

What does him being white have to do with anything?

Indeed. You cannot run the Government like a Business. People, especially Republican voters, don't get that. The citizens are not customers, like Trump believes. He's a public servant paid by the citizens!

Maybe Trump could run the government like a community organizer, but we all know that would be another complete disaster.

Just what I thought, nothing constructive to say but blaming one news network in a sea of liberal media. Conservatives are getting attacked all around the country from liberals and you want to blame the conservatives for talking about a play in New York. Tell that to Scalise who is still in critical condition from the horrible assassination attempt yesterday that a liberal conducted.

I also denounce the sleazy trumpist tactic now of trying to suppress free speech and anti-trumpist dissent (and art such as the New York Shakespeare production) with the excuse of that incident. 

 

Next ... 

How can you be against all this now when you would be the first person crying foul if the same was done against Obama? The people suppressing free speech are leftist groups like Antifa, BLM, and crazies like the liberal that tried to assassinate republican congressmen yesterday. That's suppression of free speech. Conservatives can't even speak on college campuses without being attacked by the left (Berkley ring a bell?). Conservatives can't wear a MAGA hat without being attacked and having their property stolen. Suppressing free speech is alive and well, but it's by the left.

Did you even watch the video?

 

There is no way that anyone with more than two functioning brain cells could listen to what she says, and think that Ms. Lynch is advocating violence.

 

Beyond that, does she look anything like Senator Schumer or Congresswoman Pelosi?

Sadly I did watch it, and that video is a disgrace isn't it? Imagine if a republican came forward calling for blood in the streets. Liberals minds would explode. I didn't claim Schumer or Pelosi made any statements, other than their standard hate and vitriol we hear every time they open their mouths. The nation is still trying to take in why a deranged liberal tried to assassinate republican congressman yesterday to focus on much else at this point.  Michelle Obama told us that when they go low, we go high.....I guess she is a liar.

Nobody rational believes that. There is no basis for communication between us if you can't accept basic realities. 

You're reality is a story in your head that you've told yourself so many times that you now believe to be true which is only reaffirmed by the liberal media trying to rile the left up. Look what it did with the violent assassination attempt carried out yesterday by a liberal Bernie supporter.

That's a totally sleazy dodge. The trump regime got elected on an ideology of white nationalism. It's chief strategist is Bannon.

Maybe in your fantasy land spun by MSNBC, but there's nothing racist about Trump or the majority of his followers. Keep the liberal talking points going though.

I was replying to an a** who made a bigoted racist post. So go and be sick of your PC world where you're

People with moderate conservative values are not called those things. Right wingers with hateful values are called those things. So as you were sick and tired of it along with the other Trump supporters you know exactly where you stand and it is not moderate conservative. If you are sick and tired of being called those things then alter your behaviour.

I would argue the left has far more racists and bigots on their extremes than anything the right could muster.

These people, these Americans, aren't going anywhere. They will not necessarily come about and vote democrat en masse because of Trump's conduct, incompetence and policies. They will not see the light even if you call them this or that on an extra 10,000 posts. People rarely listen when insults are hurled. So other than ignoring them, belittling them, or fantasizing major changes - what exactly is the plan?

 

That is their plan. That's what also helped lose them the election. Rather than have an adult conversation, they resort to name calling, made up stories from media organizations with the word "New York" in their name, comments by anonymous "officials" which are never true, and just out and out rage. I hope they keep it up too, it will be an easy re-election of Trump.

American pro-gun legislators could learn some sanity from Australian law-makers.

 

Nothing is going eradicate terrorist (perpetrated with or without guns), but every bit of legislation which lessens the # of guns, particularly auto- and semi-auto-, will be a step forward. 

 

 

I agree, after guns are done away with completely, next we can focus on legislation that limits the use of vehicles as terrorist weapons, then lets focus on banning bombs like the one used in Manchester, after all that we can erect legislation banning the use of knives as weapons, and finally if we could make murder a crime we could really solve this problem completely. But like you said, it all starts with guns......

A violent assassination attempt by an anti-Trump liberal and this is already out of the headlines. Tells you all you need to know about where the media stands.

Congress baseball gunman was a Trump-hating Bernie supporter

The gunman who opened fire on a Republican congressional baseball practice session this morning before being killed by cops has been identified as a Trump-hating Bernie Sanders supporter. 

Sixty-six-year-old James T. Hodgkinson from Belleville, Illinois, was killed by Capitol Police after firing up to 100 rounds from an assault rifle at a baseball park in Alexandria, Virginia, leaving five injured including House Majority Leader Steve Scalise.

How does that help people on Medicaid that trump intends to trash? 

1) Those who currently have Medicaid are grandfathered in with the new GOP Bill.

2) The 23 million that the CBO says will lose health insurance currently don't have any insurance. They are counting people that could eventually be covered under the Obamacare mandate as those that will lose insurance. You can't lose something you don't even have yet to begin with.

But lets not let facts get in the way your continued Trump bashing. I for one would rather them just let Obamacare implode, but since the adults are now in charge it's not the responsible thing to do.
