  1. "everyone denounces this assassination attempt..." except the supreme court if Biden ordered it. That's what Trump has done, he's made his own assassination legal by the king of USA. How can you say the person who promotes violence, guns, and totalitarianism, not to mention racist militia and violent police-murdering insurrectionists is the victim of political violent gun crime? Seriously, how is it political for this to happen to Trump? He campaigned and worked to make this very thing more prevalent. Literally, how is this at all tragic? Trump's lawyer made the argument in court to a judge on Trump's behalf to allow this exact thing. He normalized it. He is helping encourage it, and has been for years. What the hell is wrong with you?

  2. Not even when it happens to the person promoting said violence by policy, public discourse, and by incitement? All well and good to try to take the high road and be bigger, but some times there are extreme cases where the individual is responsible at every level, from justices appointed to legislation, to being given leeway in courts, to taking money from gun lobbyists and dictators while praising them openly. He advocates for violence all the time, even protestors standing between him and a photo op with an upside down Bible in front of a church he never attends. If there were ever a case where we'd say assassination gets an exception we always say "someone should've killed Hitler before the holocaust" as if that was more obvious than Trump's case for such an exception... Seriously, think about. If ever there were a case for assassination, in a country where a school is shot up every single day every year for a decade, on average. If ever there were a morally reasonable target of gun violence, would it not be this one individual?
