Oh hey, looks like "Democrat Congressional Staffer" is vying with journalist for that title:

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jun/15/congressional-staffers-boo-trump-unity-baseball-ga/

Quote
Dozens of congressional staffers erupted into boos, jeers and even vulgar gesticulations Thursday when President Trump appeared in a video at the Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park.

So the Democrats can't even PRETEND to be civil during the very game that was supposed to showcase the "unity" in the face of the attack.

How shocking that they inspired an assassin.
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Remember when a congressman told Obama "you lie!" (which turned out to be the accurate) and it was like the end of the world with the "how dare he?" stuff? Now it's hip though.

As if we needed more proof:

Quote
After a shooter in Alexandria left House Majority Whip Steve Scalise in critical condition and wounded four other people, a longtime New Jersey Democratic political strategist responded by introducing the hashtags #HuntRepublicans and #HuntRepublicanCongressmen.

“We are in a war with selfish, foolish & narcissistic rich people,” wrote James Devine on Twitter. “Why is it a shock when things turn violent? #HuntRepublicanCongressmen.”

There's a difference between intelligence and wisdom. Intelligence can give you the ability to do a thing, wisdom tells you if you should or not.

In my experience many progressives are profoundly stupid and all of them are profoundly unwise.

The more intelligent progressives become opinion leaders and ranking politicians and media types, the dumber ones join anti-fa and post commie crap online and such.

So this guy with his new hashtags could be smart enough to be an engineer or a chemist or whatever (probably not, though) but yet he's so unwise that he cannot grasp the consequences of what he is doing.

They are all like this in terms of wisdom. As politically cunning as they may be they cannot see more than a few steps down the path. A path, that if continued down, will lead to a mass amount of violence and destruction. All because they cannot control themselves.

I know we have some hotheads on our side. Unwise louts that mouth off and do things they shouldn't.

Our guys are amateurs compared to theirs. Also there's far fewer on our side than theirs and it seems we have better control over our louts then they do over theirs. 

Of course whatever happens, they'll blame us. But when everything is unpacked by the historians whenever the conflict ends there will be a line from progressive actions straight to the unpleasantness.

And the most frustrating thing about it all is that they're too stupid to talk to! They simply do not, and cannot understand.

We're being lead to a chasm by a Conga line of fools, idiots, and barbarians.

So I just saw a replay of a Nancy Pelosi interview from yesterday in which she called Republicans sanctimonious for calling out the building rhetoric and violence that led to the shooting. She basically said it was Trump's fault and how dare they be upset. She actually looked really pissed off, versus her usual look and attitude, which actually is sanctimonious.

This being said only hours after she called for "unity".

"Unity" meaning "Everyone must agree with me."

Ooooooooh, I bet he just earned himself a visit for one of the NotFun federal agenicies...

And may find himself in front of federal judge trying to 'splain how that is not a direct threat....

I received another hysterical, anti-gun e-mail from one of my anti-gun U.S. senators today. He claims that the baseball shooting is the 154th "mass shooting" in 2017. I guess I haven't been paying attention, because I'm not aware of anything close to that number. Does anyone know of any that I've missed?

Apparently (as if we didn't know it) it's all in how you define "mass shooting."

https://www.dailydot.com/layer8/mass-shootings-2017/

So, depending on whose definition you choose to follow, by April the United States had seen 91 mass shootings in 2017. Unless it was 122 ... or only one.
Or maybe some other number. Or not.

It appears he had an assassination list on him. I'm curious if he came up with it on his own, or if he was influenced by radical websites or organizations who are coming up with a "standardized" (for lack of a better word) list of republicans they want gone, politically or otherwise.

So, if a white shoots someone, is that cultural appropriation?

I have a distinct feeling that a lot of cultural appropriation tickets will be handed out on July 4th. Is that a misdemeanor or felony by the way? Must I report myself, or will there be watchers?

http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2017/06/19/caitlyn-jenner-ripped-for-comment-about-scalise-shooting-liberals-cant-even-shoot-straight.html

Not sure if the outrage is for making light of an attempted assassination or for identifying the shooter as a liberal.

I've heard that... Jenner is pretty conservative.
"so I ended up getting the above because I didn't want to make a whole production of sticking something between my knees and cranking. To me, the cranking on mine is pretty effortless, at least on the coarse setting. Maybe if someone has arthritis or something, it would be more difficult for them." - Ben

I have quite a bit less issue with that one vs. the Communist mental illness.

Bingo.

The ones that REALLY tick me off, though, are the gay commies who are wearing Che shirts.

Uhm, you do realize just what Che thought of your kind, right?

And then you get the whole right wing lies/fascist/gay hater mantra.

I really think that being a gay socialist/communist so *expletive deleted*s up peoples' brains that they're no longer able to think critically or process factual information.

You are assuming facts not in evidence. "No longer able to think critically or process factual information" implies that, at one time, they were able to do so. I submit that many of them were never able to do so, which may explain the way they are.

And don't overlook the possibility that they may simply be processing "alternate facts."

OK, sure. Open source intelligence is still intelligence, though. Did someone suggest it to him as a likely place?
