Republicans Stupidly Stoic After Attempted Murder By Left
[Mercer] Congressmen and their staff were shot at "as they were practicing for tomorrow’s annual charity baseball game. Congressman Steve Scalise, a member of House leadership, was shot and badly wounded." Which prompted President Trump to go into Democrat-appeasing moral relativism mode. Hear Trump:
"We may have our differences, but we do well, in times like these, to remember that everyone who serves in our nation’s capital is here because, above all, they love our country. We can all agree that we are blessed to be Americans, that our children deserve to grow up in a nation of safety and peace, and that we are strongest when we are unified and when we work together for the common good. Please take a moment today to cherish those you love, and always remember those who serve and keep us safe. God bless them all, God bless you, and God Bless America."

Or was this Ivanka the president was channeling? Moral clarity was needed. But any moral clarity displayed by the president during the campaign has evaporated, in favor of obsequious pandering. Not to mention breaking of promises: Libertarian Gabb Sean says that "Ever since Trumps was elected, it’s been a matter of what promises he’ll break this week."

All in all, Democrats are running rings round Trump. If he doesn’t act, Democrats will take the House and Trump will be impeached.

On TV, Conservatives ponderously warned about the perils of "political violence," all as their ranks are shot at and their spokespersons prevented from speaking. An alt-leftist tries to kill Republicans and this signals to the "stupid party" (M. Stanton Evans’ coinage for Republicans) that it’s time to suck-up to the "evil party" (Democrats). As we speak, the Antifa sick fucks have even stabbed a police horse.

After the Alexandria shooting, politicians consider armed security for THEMSELVES, but not a Wall or a Muslim moratorium for The People.

#1 "What is it that you seek?
The rightness of wrong?
The virtue of vice?

Tell me, why the gospel of evil?
What is your religion?
Where are your faithful?

If you are against God, you are against man.
Are you diabolical, or divine?"

Enya, Sadness, the song.

#3 And that's how a non-Stoic got elected to the White House.

#4 Stoic? More like the frog in boiling water analogy: The boiling frog is an anecdote describing a frog slowly being boiled alive. The premise is that if a frog is placed in boiling water, it will jump out, but if it is placed in cold water that is slowly heated, it will not perceive the danger and will be cooked to death.

#5 When is someone going to show they are "angry" about some liberal piece of crap shooting and attempting to murder their colleagues!
Where is your outrage?! I am so sick it.

#6 Sarge, Tump and Melania went to see the Steve at the hospital. That is all that matters to me, because that reinforces who is decent and just confirms that the rest of the government is sub-human.
