Sorry for the short notice on this one, it was announced this morning but I just found out now.

8 PM Eastern / 5 PM Pacific, from the Oval Office. Biden speaking, presumably about the Trump assassination attempt.

    He should have fucking LAID INTO Republicans. They’ve been publicly inciting political violence for nearly a decade now and THIS is the result. It’s their fault and the only redeeming feature was that this was an own goal. We’re all lucky they haven’t attacked Democratic politicians yet.

    Violent Republican rhetoric is not acceptable. If they don’t stop NOW this is only the beginning. Let out Dark Brandon and let them hear the fucking truth instead of this weak “violence isn’t acceptable” shit. Of course violence isn’t acceptable, we’re the party of “violence isn’t acceptable”. Republicans should stop inciting political violence and maybe this would stop. Trump has even promised a secretary of retribution and half of the list is OTHER Republicans. It’s no surprise the people attacking him are other Republicans.
