    This assassin has created more solidarity over working class issues then the Democrats could, even with 1.5 billion dollars. Fascinating

          It won’t happen but that’d be such a fucking what the entire establishment would melt.

          I’d pardon him for the lols, at Bidens age you gotta live a little.

                think you’re confusing federal prosecution with federal crimes. I assure you the gunman definitely violated multiple federal laws during the shooting for which biden could pardon him. now stfu and enjoy the joke and stop analyzing everything to death. you’re no fun at parties im sure.

                  I’m pointing it out because shit like this is why Trump got elected. People keep expecting the Democrats do things they don’t have the ability to do because they don’t understand how the government works.

                    No, people keep expecting the democrats to actually support policies and do what is fucking necessary to protect the well being and ensure a strong middle class.

                    • democrats had the option to kill the filibuster to get laws passed. they chose not to.
                    • democrats had the option it ignore the parliamentarian when it came to minimum wage increase. they chose not to.
                    • democrats had the option to pack the SCOTUS to resolve roe v wade. they chose not to.
                    • democrats had the option to not support a genocidal nation. they chose not to.
                    • democrats had the option to not break strikes. they chose not to.

                    need I go on? kindly fuck off. we have no interest in dealing with your nonsense. if democrats want to win again in the future they need to start putting forward candidates who actually are capable of getting shit done that their base want. and enjoy the master class you’re about to get from trump and friends in how government works when people in power dont make excuses.

        Millions of Americans have trained to do this.

        The training was abhorrently bad, very easy, completely unrealistic and provided no real skills.

        But they have trained.

          If these CEOs couldn’t walk down the street without some moron in an assassin creed costume showing up. I would be so happy. They don’t need to actually get harmed but they should live in a state of constant paranoia. It’s the least they deserve.

            They don’t need to actually get harmed

            As long as they continue to perpetuate suffering, yes, they do.

        The assassin is the one who did the shooting. The one who got shot is the mass-murderer

        Assassination implies a targeted strike.

        Systematic Mass killers are not assassins.

        No, he didn’t assassinate anyone, just caused them to die. He would have had to know who they were and cared enough to specifically target them for it to be assassinations.
