    I’m sure it’ll be another right-wing crazy, just like all the others have been. The fact that they haven’t tried to jump in front of it calling the guy a radical leftist means he was probably still wearing his maga gear when it happened.

    They don’t seem to understand that firing up al of this puts everyone in danger, including them. Of course, having a dedicated secret service to protect you helps, but that branch is far from perfect.

      Here’s the thing about the secret service. Fascists/authoritarians are paranoid and obsessed with personal loyalty. The problem with that is it breeds incompetence, laziness, and negligence. You are limiting yourself to an ever-shrinking pool of sycophants, and I think we all know from our own lives that the least productive or skilled amongst us kiss the most ass.
