    I remember this kid when I was in middle school. He'd eat flies for $.10! :eek:

    What’s that line from HBO’s Westworld? Something like, violent means come to violent ends.

    It's originally from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. "These violent delights have violent ends..."

    Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged would-be assassin, didn't get a shot off apparently before secret service saw his AK-47 gun barrel and opened fire. He then took off and was apprehended while fleeing down the highway, about 45 minutes from the scene. Sounds like he may have voted for Trump in 2016 but was then disappointed with his performance.

    What is the current adjusted value of that, like fifty bucks?

    By a Trump voter disappointed in his recent behavior, it seems.

    Hey smarty pants...with that dime you got into see the Saturday afternoon matinee. Two full westerns and likely a chapter of "The Scarlet Horseman". For another nickle you got a big bag of popcorn. What could be better than a theater full of unsupervised 7/8 yr olds! :whistling:

    Right; and we here are blaming every single Trump supporter for these incidents as well-- and that blame appears to fit the nature of them also.

    Live by the sword, die by the sword-- only the assassins seem to match Trump as far as competence goes, as well. So it is more "live by the sword, bleed from a scratched ear by the sword."

    I really don't buy into it's a political party as much as a deranged individual. Evidently the guy is all about the war in Ukraine and was rejected as a volunteer to fight. I just find it strange the folks that want to save democracy are disappointed there wasn't a political assassination. #TDS

    Who is that who is disappointed? I'd be happy if it stopped-- that after all is what we are trying to achieve.

    Maybe.

    Speaking of saving democracy, Pennsylvania is important. Your vote is important. Any chance you’d vote for Kamala Harris or are you a committed Trump guy?

    No I'm not voting for Kamala. I think I was much better off with the last administration. The few policies she is pushing sound like a disaster. $25,000 for a house is the government making the cost of housing to up much like college tuition when they guaranteed the loans.

    Well, you're getting an earful in here so nothing I'm going to say is likely to change your mind. I do hope you'll reconsider, however, in case you haven't been asked directly. Trying to help kids get a leg up in the housing market seems like a relatively small concern compared to the utter buffoonery, incompetence, hate, division and treachery of Trump.

    Speaking of Trump's treachery, Vindman was a strong witness. He's a Purple Heart recipient, he was on that phone call between Trump and Zelensky, he heard every word...

    "The second event occurred on a July 25 phone call between Presidents Trump and Zelensky. Vindman states, "I was concerned by the call. I did not think it was proper to demand that a foreign government investigate a U.S. citizen, and I was worried about the implications for the U.S. Government's support of Ukraine. I realized that if Ukraine pursued an investigation into the Bidens and Burisma, it would likely be interpreted as a partisan play which would undoubtedly result in Ukraine losing the bipartisan support it has thus far maintained. This would all undermine U.S. national security." Vindman also stated that he reported his concern to the NSC's lead counsel, John Eisenberg.[25]..."

    Hard to imagine a more unfit president than Trump.
