Lol, everyone here is scared that he lived just tells me you all hoped he died. You condone violence, you want someone dead. You don't want the betterment of your own kind, you want the best for your own selfish reasons. Delete this or do whatever but yall make me sick you slide over the fact that a human life was being threatened and all you think about is "oh wow now our lives are at stake". Instead, maybe you should be wishing for no violence towards anyone that I hear you people preach. Peace and acceptance right? I don't see it. Don't preach being scared when the person you thought would die is alive. You wanted them dead, you dont want peace, you want selfish conformity. You want to be right even if you are wrong, you want to live comfortable at others expense. Peace isn't wishing for death. In fact, one of the comments here literally wishes the bullet hit.
I’ve been waiting for all the right wing violence following this assault against Orange Jesus. It would appear to be crickets at this point. Strange that.
On January 6th he said, "We fight like hell. And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore." It's more incitement to his followers to take illegal actions if necessary to "win."
ALL You Said Is True! My Unshakable Belief In Women Will Win The Election! Whoever is on the Democratic Ticket Will Get Our Vote! WE are Voting To Take Our Rights Back…FEAR THE FEMALE VOTE!
The young man didn’t buy the weapon — his father did. I think raising the age to buy and the use of smart technology that would prevent anyone other than the registered buyer to shoot the weapon have merit
One issue that you didn’t address is how many young men are bullied and lash out. This shooting has more to do with that than politics it appears
Democracy USA without the states that have high % of voters who want to secede, call it Trump nation, would be stronger. We can focus on building a great USA without Congress fighting stalling function the way they do now.
But the risk is that Trump nation would invite Putin into this continent, so their would need to be negotiations that prevent certain aspects. I think that when those Trump Nation citizens see how their lives get worse...they will not succeed.
I rather split the USA then have the MAGA own in and ruin it.
The solution is to hold on to it to the Constitution even if it means staying in power no matter what elections say. Biden has those powers. I hope he surprises MAGA. He needs to show that strength. He would be the best ever.
I agree! I wish President Biden would stop being politically correct is his reaction to Trump! Trump would NEVER give him any courtesy, or sympathy! Matter of fact, I think President Biden should use his immunity to take out his political opponent; it would be an official duty because he would be eliminating traitors that against our country & democracy! He should at least have Trump arrested and put in prison!
This is such an important column, and I hope President Biden (and people in his campaign ) read it.
I did not like Biden’s speech to the nation tonight. His “nice guy” side was on full display… ignoring Trump’s role in catalyzing the current pro-violence political reality.
I look forward to reading your take on tonight’s speech!
"I could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue."

The hardest truth of all is just 2 more inches to the right.

Was it real?

That’s obvious! But the Conservatives narrative is we need more guns!

Thank you for this great piece. MSNBC has silenced most of the other trusted voices that I turn to, so I am grateful that I have you!

Trump just started the beginning of a civil war; exactly what he wanted!
Perhaps we should be 2 nations. At least the I internal usa fight will end.
That would be a huge mistake! America will be weak, and we will be taken over by either Russia or China!

With Trump as dictator, Putin has control, we become the next Ukraine.
Win or lose Trump will try to step into the White House. I don't have confidence Biden will use his powers to stop him.

Dump looks weak and frightened in that photo
He looks like the scared bald old man that he is. Hope it hurts like hell.
Of course people had to die to lend some power to donny's pitiful paranoid psychotic ramblings.
The fact that he can stage something like this and get away with blaming Biden and the dems is sick.
I rue the day he was ever elected. Look how low we set the bar. He just gets shittier every day.
He is a public menace who needs a time out with no phone, internet, or microphone privileges.
Is there evidence he staged this with the 20 year old. Share the info
"Trump was not only the target of the shooting but he bears a substantial portion of the blame for it."
