Meanwhile a CNN reporter won’t even acknowledge that the person arrested had a weapon.

Thankfully they arrested him before anyone got hurt.

#Will there be a show trial for Chuck Schumer for inciting an assassin?

If you can find evidence like this (from a Federal Judge looking at Eastman) where Schumer schemed with the guy they arrested...then I would say you should arrest Schumer.

Nice try Paul - that's not an incitement to violence.

Your pal, Schumer, directly incited violence. Your pal, with the threat of violence, sought to overturn a potential SC ruling.

You can yammer all you want about 1/6, but no one gives a rats ass. Moreover, the Dems are going to be slaughtered in November....

The Dems absolutely have to turn this into a circus and hopefully get some good soundbites out of it. Considering what happened in California this week, the hearing might be their only shot to avoid a complete massacre in November. It's a good political strategy targeted at a voting base that is less than enthusiastic right now. They really don't have anything else to run on in November....maybe gun control as well. Middle class America is getting killed financially right now. Savings rates are way down (16% in 2020 to 4% now), credit card usage and payroll loans are spiking, 401K's are in the tank and prices continue to climb. If the Dems can't get some traction on these hearings it's curtains for them in November (and that night not even be enough).

Gun legislation is their only true winner since some polls indicate close to 90% of Americans want some form of gun law reform. Their strategy will be for Pelosi to pass as many bills possible in the House, with language that has no shot in passing the Senate. Then crank out the campaign ads nationally directed at the heartless GOP blood lust.

I don’t think the Dems stand a chance in November regardless of this hearing. The economy itself will swing most voters to the repubs this fall. I also think the 2024 election is the republicans to lose regardless if Joe runs for reelection or not. Even Trump would most likely win in 2024. Hopefully the republicans can nominate a John McCain type conservative to get this country back on track.

Interesting story in the Enemaquirer this morning that the biggest beneficiary of the new less restrictive concealed carry gun law are Blacks, since they were charged under the old law 60% of the time vs being 12% of the population.
The left has quite a dilemma- Guns or Racism. Let’s see which way they go!

Anyone think the media coverage would be different if a nut job was arrested outside Elena Kagan’s and said he was there to kill her because of how she might rule in a case before the SCOTUS?

Yes, but in fairness I don't think this nutcase got all that close to Kavanaugh.
