Why?
  • This has been pretty thoroughly debunked by now. The kid was a conservative through and through. Why he'd shoot the presumptive nominee of his own party is a mystery though, and we might not ever find out.

  • I'm confused
  • MA is basically the equivalent of a northern European country hiding in the US. Honestly, it'd pretty much be an oasis, save for the fact nobody can actually afford to live there.

  • Trump Assassination Attempt Megathread:
  • Sounds more and more like he was a libertarian who didn't like Trump. Doesn't fit so cleanly into the media narrative, but there's definitely a lot of folks who fit that description politically in the US. Right leaning in a lot of ways but don't like authoritarianism. That part of the electorate also tends to own the most firearms, and there are no shortage of them in PA.

  • Trump rally shooter identified as 20-year-old Pennsylvania man
  • He was registered back in 2021. Not sure this has much bearing on the 2024 primaries. He could have been a right leaning person who didn't like Trump. Those people exist. Basically, most libertarians.

  • In your career, have you found a drama free workplace?
  • I've probably really only had one job where this was a problem, and it was already a politically charged environment because of the work we were doing. Despite the nature of the work, the drama wasn't political at all. It was just all young people just out of college airing way too much of their personal lives too freely. With all of the rivalries, infighting, and occasional sabotage, it felt like a 2000s MTV series in there.

  • Biden's performance has been exceptional where it matters: It's the economy
  • There is no response you will accept. Whatever I write, you will just continue to hand wave away, no matter how explicit the evidence. I give up. Live in whatever fictional reality you want. I'm done reasoning with you.

  • Biden's performance has been exceptional where it matters: It's the economy
  • Where are you even getting that from? Economics isn't a matter of opinion. Wages are, in fact, up, and inflation has been easing. This isn't about fascism or race. This has been an across the board trend since 2021. Things are far from perfect, but they are improving.

  • Biden's performance has been exceptional where it matters: It's the economy
  • Wages are up, and inflation is down. The economy isn't roaring, but it's a hell of a lot more stable than what Biden was handed in 2020. The examples you are offering, while certainly valid for the folks in your community, are anecdotal. The facts are in the data. This country is too big to determine its overall economic health with a localized eye check. Lots of folks are struggling. Lots of folks are also thriving.

  • The New York Times Shows What Happens When Journalism Becomes Vendetta
  • NYT has been going downhill for a while now, and their slant lately couldn't be more obvious. I was a reader for years but ditched my account recently. It's not even the Biden stuff per se, but just all of the reporting quality became more about shock and drama than actual journalism. They used to be great too.
