Assassination attempt on House Republican
50 shots were fired at a Democrats vs Republicans Congressional baseball game in Alexandria, Virginia. House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana was shot and wounded in the hip. Several Congressional aides and two federal agents were also shot.
The shooter had a long rifle, but apparently not much in the way of military training. The shooter was shot, apprehended, and taken to the hospital.
The shooter was James T. Hodgkinson, a union member, Bernie Sanders volunteer, and left-wing anti-Trump hater. He was shot and killed by the Capital Police.

The shot heard around the swirl.
Don't know much about Steve Scalise. Target of opportunity, accidental bystander, or false flag? I.e., does anyone actually have a good reason to want to take him out, or anyone out at this baseball game?
Rep. Clay Higgins is also from LA. I haven't read anything good about Scalise, it he's a white Male Republican from Louisiana, so good enough I guess.
So, was Scalise the actual target, or just the highest-ranked member hit? Guess terror hits home (finally)
Dammit...I've been begging for someone to put the Phillies baseball team out of their misery, but no, this idiot goes after the GOP congressional softball team. Who cares? I'd wager they don't even get one vigil or hashtag.
Scalise was a Boehner protégée with all that implies
How many never Trumper cucks blame the GE?
The gunman was shot by U.S. Capital Police, apprehended and taken to the hospital.
No name or photo yet.
Meh. Got my hopes up but it doesn't seem to have been an intended targeting of cucks or other leftists.

Make sure you spare Pat Neshek though!
Source on twitter says the shooter asked if it was dems or repubs practicing before firing. Appears that there was no fixed target, just wanted to kill repubs.
Shrug.
What else is on...??
@2 One Congressman is saying that a guy asked him if it was an R or D practice and the shooting started about three minutes later. It looks like intentional targeting of Republicans.
Of course the "brain trust" that is the GOPe will decide they aren't nice enough.
The Left has been working themselves up to this.
From Fox News, for what it's worth:
"Scalise endorsed President Trump during last year’s presidential campaign, and has been a vocal backer of Trump’s travel ban. As leader of the powerful study group, he has also spearheaded the effort to repeal and replace ObamaCare."
There seem to be conflicting reports on whether the shooter is dead or was taken to the hospital. Odds are he won't survive to talk about who inspired/hired him, one way or the other.

There is a quote from a congressman that "he thought it was a white male but only saw them for 2-3 seconds". If it is a right leaning white male we will know his name within 4-5 hours. If it is a democrat or musloid, or a magic negro, or a mestizo we won't know about it until tomorrow or later.
He'll have social media presence, if he's like most. We'll find a motive.
How long before the news cycle says the shooter is Alt-Right? They are already willing to say he is white, so the sharks already smell blood in the water. That and lone gun men who are mentally deranged only shout out "Allahu Akbar", and "For Allah" according to the media, while self-defending hispanics are white racists and represent all white men.
Also, what are the chances this will get some Republicans to want to clamp down on guns like a good little Obamaite?
50 shots and 5 hits. For having the best security around, it does show the quislings can be targeted and hurt for a price.
Not St. Brevik tier though. Which makes me think the individual will turn out to be unhinged.

Everytime I hear his name it makes me think of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and they survived the fiery furnace, so Pat will be fine.
I want to know the shooters Daily Kos or DU screen identity.

GOP is reliably pro-gun control this far from an election.
50 shots; 5 hits? Definitely a Muslim.
We should cynically use this for partisan advantage; it's what Steve would have wanted.
I need to watch Taxi Driver again, the more Inthink about that movie, the more it reminds me of ML Ultra Mind Control, you know Deniro's character just shows up in NYC out of nowhere gets a job as a taxi driver and then scopes out a politicians campaign headquarters. He even does a dry run to gauge the reaction of security, but something happens and he beats his programming by replacing his target with a pimp.
Maybe Republicans can start bowing, like Zero? It won't save them, but it makes it so, when they are low, they are easier to kill. And that is nice. It's too bad he couldn't have taken out swathes of them. He is just doing the necessary, and what will be done, one way or another, soon or late.
Though, it truth, does anyone, and I mean anyone, even care? There is only one Republican, if mostly in name only, who means anything to most of us. And he doesn't even care for many 'other' republicunts.
I'll bet they are locking down his social media rantings as we type.
Per CNN via Drudge he's right. Watch them mentally whack off to the thought that he's right wing.

That was one of my thoughts. If the guy got 50 shots off then the protection details are not as good they are portrayed to be. How many members of congress were present at this event? Seems like there should be a little more protection for a significant percentage of congress all in the same location. Also it appears that the number of wounded is not a final number. There are reports that several pages were injured.

Fortunate for the survivors that this guy was such a poor shot. Fifty shots and five hits with unarmed targets in close proximity with a long gun? That is almost epically poor shooting. No pro for sure. Unless...

It almost sounds like he did a bump fire mag dump with one of those magpul drum mags. If that is the case I take back statement about lack of skill of the protection detail.
Its not a false flag. Its hard left groups doing what they do worldwide. This is hardly the first time leftists use violence. I do agree the media will attempt to paint the daily kos readers like the shooter as alt right and Nazis as well.
The guy got off 50 shots?!?!?! What did the Secret Service do, just stand back and wait till he ran out of ammo, a la Columbine/Orlando?
Congressman Mike Bishop called into Paul W Smith on WJR Detroit - here were the highlights:
- Bishop was at first base; jump to the ground while shots went overhead.
- Lots of shots fired - well over 50 - rapid fire successions. (Definitely sounded to me like a leftist who is a really bad shot and just played vidya games.)
- Scalise at second base was the target; they really went after him
- Scalise shot in the hip; didn't look fatal
- One GOP staffer shot in the chest; looks real bad
- One GOP staffer shot somewhere else; doesn't look as bad
- Multiple magazines and time to change between them
- Bishop estimated 8-10 minutes total
- Scalise's security men were outside the diamond; came in; had revolvers (he originally said pistols but said they were just service revolvers); the security men charged the shooter who was very keen on Scalise; they took some hits themselves but also brought him down with far fewer shots.
- The other Congressman and staffers, including somebody's 11 year old boy, were in the dugout or batting box - whatever is the structure as he kept saying there was just one structure they could get into, but if the gunman had gotten to it, it would have been over since there was just one entrance.
- And the diamond had a backstop so they could not flee; only one exit; the guy had clearly planned this and scouted it out before hand.
#JeSuisBaseballFansEverywhere
Show your defiance and eat a hot dog. They hate when we do that.
So I just perused the first 50 comments at Kos, the usual feminine changing of the subject.
Totally clueless white libtards think magic gun control will only disarm white conservatives, do white libtards think they are going to disarm non-whites?
@28
More from Bishop on Paul W Smith about the nature of the security detail:
- Protection detail was just for Scalise; the other members of the House don't have protection.
- They were outside the baseball diamond.
- They were definitely not expecting anything. Bishop said that he had thought about bringing his son.
- They have done this regularly - 5:30 am batting practice in preparation for a charity game coming up - nobody even considered security for it.
- I did not get the impression that this was open to the public, but not for trying to stop it - just who would want to see 10 Congressmen and about 20 staffers taking batting practice in their sweats?

It's time for the GOP Congress to set the Washington DC gun laws right, overrule the locals, and mandate reciprocity, so that the members of Congress can carry with state permits.
Soooooo, who remembers the mockery of Antifa's pursuit of firearms training? It's still early and the facts are not yet known but it is reasonable to entertain the idea that today's incident might be the residue of the Left's escalation of violence.
Mossad is getting sloppy.

Capitol Hill Police only, and only because the House Majority Whip was there.
@ 31
It's not about skill of the protection detail, though. It's about the constraints of the real world. Misdirection, decoys, variable routes, secret schedules, that is how these people are protected day to day. You can't truly secure a half mile bubble around someone in an urban area, it's just impossible, especially if a pro is trying to get the protectee. I doubt it's possible to secure a 250m radius in most areas and that's a chip shot with just about any centerfire rifle wearing a low power scope. Countersnipers only work on idiots who don't know fieldcraft, at least until the first shot is taken.
If you have reliable information on where someone is going to be at a given time, you're skilled with a rifle, and you're willing to risk dying in the attempt, you can kill them. Fortunately most crazies are unskilled noobs.
This guy was obviously a clown if he didn't manage to kill anyone and he was using a rifle inside 100 yards. Maybe it was a 22 or something.
I want to know when the editors, journalists, and anchors for outfits like CNN and Reuters are going to be arrested for incitement to violence?
They know exactly what they are doing, and every bit of rhetoric deployed from "Hands Up Don't Shoot" onwards has resulted in bloody violence on the streets, 2 assassination attempts against Trump himself, hundreds of dead cops, and tends of billions in damage to America's major cities.
Their stoking of Russia hysteria among many other angles has been explicitly designed to widen this campaign of violence to all Republicans.
Yes, I know at the end of all this is a large segment of the CIA gone rogue, but they are rendered helpless if their mouthpieces aren't there anymore to incite incidents like this.
Incoming! The Left is "beta testing" the gun control narrative in light of today's incident.
Given the location and Target, conventional wisdom suggests either Muslim or leftists.
Sure isn't a real Virginia boy. They'd never be caught shooting at a congressman. And missing so badly for that matter.
It's gotta be some sort of antifa or lib shooting.
Early scuttlebutt is that shooter asked someone while walking up to the field whether it was Rs or Ds at the field. The guy said Rs, and the shooter proceeded accordingly. That the guy only wounded people in his first shots is an indicator that the guy wasn't trained.
Incompetent patsy shooting up a game, firing lots of shots but not killing anyone. On the one hand, we know some people are stupid and can't shoot straight, on the other hand it's awfully convenient.
Cue calls for gun control and/or more intrusve surveilance in three, two...
Cynicysm aside, I hope the injured heals fast, they learn the right lessons from the attack, and the media jumps the shark (again).

White, not right.
50 shots, 5 hits, this would never have happened at Waco. Where are the professionals?
Listened to Rand Paul's comments. It's tough, but these Congressmen done have a military or aggressive mentality. He said it would have been a slaughter without the Capitol Police. I disagree, you had a number of men with baseball bats. A bunch of them could have spread out and rushed the 3rd base dugout. Someone would have been shot, but someone could have got the guy.
Rep Williams twitter says he was not shot, but a member of his staff was injured.
I'm curious if anyone has done a study on Anti-depressants and shot accuracy. Whatever medication is being used to get past the "don't kill others" natural conditioning clearly effects the ability to hit the broad side of a barn.
And you can generally tell when it's not from the Right. If it's from the Right, the phrase normally includes "only witness in Critical Condition" and the like.
Now we can put the screws into the Left for their violent rhetoric. They've been normalizing Evil. Call them on it. At every opportunity.
I know this will sound like the usual internet tough talk, but I think we are past the Nice White Granny Conservative Lady appeals to niceness, and we just need to at least call them on the Left's hints of war.
Important safety tip for GOP Congressmen: Always go armed. Body armor also recommended, but definitely go armed.

Michigan Rep. Mike Bishop tells WWJ Newsradio 950 he was attending the practice around 5:30 a.m., just outside of Alexandria, when shots rang out. He said he and his colleagues were “sitting ducks.”
“As we were standing here this morning, a gunman walked up to the fence line and just began to shoot. I was standing at home plate and he was in the third base line,” Bishop said. “He had a rifle that was clearly meant for the job of taking people out, multiple casualties, and he had several rounds and magazines that he kept unloading and reloading.”
(snip)
“The only reason why any of us walked out of this thing, by the grace of God, one of the folks here had a weapon to fire back and give us a moment to find cover. We were inside the backstop and if we didn’t have that cover by a brave person who stood up and took a shot themselves, we would not have gotten out of there and every one of us would have been hit — every single one of us,” said Bishop. “He was coming around the fence line and he was looking for all of us who had found cover in different spots. But if we didn’t have return fire right there, he would have come up to each one of us and shot us point-blank.”
"Now we can put the screws into the Left for their violent rhetoric. They've been normalizing Evil. Call them on it. At every opportunity."
1,000 times this. They need to be hammered with this 24/7 and incitement to violence cases opened against the bigger names.
http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2715385-nfl-first-female-player-becca-longo-kicker
Off topic but if she really joins the NFL its only a matter of time before she's creamed by a lineman. If they change rules to protect women players kiss the NFL Good-by.
The Republicans need to start calling this the result of violent rhetoric, and then start moving against those who have engaged in violent rhetoric; rapidly, remorselessly, repeatedly.
I forgot, the page automatically plays a live feed from ABC. The live feed is at the bottom of the post, before the comments section.
Kiss the NFL goodbye, then. That's the most surefire way to kill it.
@56. dvdivx
Just wait until her bikini pics begin circulating. She is not bad looking at all.
Wasn't there a previous female kicker in college football?
"The Republicans need to start calling this the result of violent rhetoric, and then start moving against those who have engaged in violent rhetoric; rapidly, remorselessly, repeatedly."
I predict the GOP cucks and blames this on Trump. Watch and see... will happen by 5 pm ET today.
Jaime,
She's 5'11" 145. Very good looking.
If this does turn out to be a leftwing shoooter targeting the GOP, then Trump and the GOP need to use this event to turn the tables. They need to put the democrats and MSM on the defensive. No more talk about Russia, Trump or whatever. It must be nonstop talk about the climate of hate the MSM and democrats have created that is threatening our nation.
Recall how the ohter side tried to use Gabby Giffords against us. They even named a navy ship after her last week, which is odd since it rarely happens for a living person.
Was THIS would be assassin funded by the National Endowment for the Arts?
Looks like civil war's back on the menu, boys!

Plan on her never being called out for not acting as a safety on kick off. It doesn't happen often, but usually 2-3 games in a season you see a teams kicker save a run back touchdown by either tackling or at least shoving the returner out of bounds. I doubt this woman ever tries that or if she does, she ends up hurt as the result of a stiff arm.
Saw the article earlier today and the thing that stuck out the most was the sheer length of it.
If the shooter asked "Republicans or Democrats," he likely wasn't targeting anyone in particular.
Presuming it was said/reported correctly (big IF in the first 24 hours of any story), he must've heard the field was (somewhat) regularly used by member of Congress.
As far as how he could pull it off, I think folks believe DC and politicians are far more secure than reality.
Anyone see the movie, "Undecided?" Those two were making a really good "our elections are a joke" movie and got to go shooting with a presidential candidate after meeting him for the first time. They got up close to almost all candidates by just walking up to them.
@61 I hold a slight belief that the GOPe and Conservatism Inc. will issue a tepid commentary about the Left's propensity for violence but nothing more. In their collective mind, such commentary would be to politicize a tragedy - a tactic constantly employed by the Left. The GOPe and Conservatism Inc. will assume a tepid demeanor because "That's not who we are!". GOPe and Conservatism Inc. prefers to be honorable losers.
So almost as much action as at a junior baseball game then?
@60
Mo Isom, who played soccer for LSU tried out for the team (quite a bit of publicity) but didn't make it, and I believe Kent State had a female kicker on the roster about 2-3 years ago.
I doubt this woman ever tries that or if she does, she ends up hurt as the result of a stiff arm.
A woman taking the right angle and having the speed to catch an NFL return man. They're practically world class sprinters.
LULZ.
High school is one thing for a female to play, but the winnowing process as one heads through college is another. She'd be smart sticking with soccer.
Hope she's not a trap.
It's a gimmick in any case. Like there's some shortage of male kickers who can make 50 yard field goals? And is she going to handling the kickoffs too? Because I doubt she's going to be tackling many 180 pound men to stop return touchdowns. One good stiffarm and field goal barbie will be carted off the field on a backboard.
Odds on low-ability, neurotic white dumpster fire.
@57 "The Republicans need to start calling this the result of violent rhetoric, and then start moving against those who have engaged in violent rhetoric; rapidly, remorselessly, repeatedly."
Everything about your comment is perfect and I completely agree ... except for your second word -- cause: Really? Like the Repubs are going to do ANYthing but hold a candlelight vigil when the shooter dies mysteriously in hospital?!
Do we have the first leftist journalist/pundit blaming the attack on Trump's fiery rhetoric yet?
This incident just highlights the opportunities missed as a result of the US lacking an organized and violent group on the right. If senior level Congressmen are this accessible, leftist judges, journalists, academics and local politicians would be sitting ducks. Although pre-Trump there hadn't even been a right of center presidential candidate from the GOP for at least a generation so I guess one must walk before he can run.

From your comment to God's ears!! AND the God Emperor's tweets and status reports and actions!!
WHY must we wait and wait and wait and wait?! What the hell is Darth Bannon DOING behind the scenes?!?
the NFL will do anything for a nickel
@68, Bingo. The cucks will condemn it, but they'll frame it like, "We abhor all violence," suggesting that the extremes of both sides are equally at fault. We could go ahead and write Dreher's column for him.

Obviously this shooting was just a robbery attempt and doesn't require any further investigation.
This kicker chick needs to hit the fitness modeling and bikini circuit. She'll be much more successful...and ambulatory.
She has 4 years of college ball to get through. She'll play some, but I'd bet that's the extent of it.
"Analysis: Attack may increase impact of Trump's authoritarian tendencies" was the headline of a local editorial. Mmm, not quite suitable for American use since it implies gun control (good) done by Trump (bad).
About the kicker, yeah it's a gimmick, but she's taking a scholarship that normally would have gone to a more qualified male at a time when female enrollment in college is almost double that of men nation wide. That's the real story here.
This is what they want. They want this chaos. They've been calling for it. This is what makes it dangerous for us to walk down the street wearing a MAGA hat, and even in my very nice neighborhood, I won't. The end result.
The chance of a female kicker making it in the NFL are basically nil.
NFL kickers now average > 65% of kicks outside of fifty yards with 300 pound lineman coming from all directions in a game.
https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/kickers-are-forever/
As far as I can tell, the high school girls' kicking record is 47 yards, and the high school boys kicking record is 68 yards. This is notable because girls peak athletically much earlier than boys.
Here's a college kicker making an 80 yarder:
http://www.businessinsider.com/texas-kicker-nick-rose-field-goal-2015-7
As far as I can tell the female equivalent (practice, not a game) all time record is 50 yards.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0lOt0x1wFyM
So you have a 30 yard gap in potential kicking distance. NFL kickers are successful 67% of the time for in-game kicks that are beyond the female world record.
Sorry to kill the suspense and end that discussion.
And the filthy, sociopath Progressives online are gleefully celebrating.
If you share anything with others, share those tweets and blog posts. Archive them.
We can reduce the 2020 DNC Presidential Convention to a rest stop off route 93 if they keep this up.
"50 shots; 5 hits? Definitely a Muslim."
Attacking actual government targets who likely have security, and not random unarmed innocents. Definitely not Muslim.
We Philly sports fans are mentioned to suffer.
2005-2010 was a pretty good run though.
The shooter at the GOP congressional baseball practice this morning is James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Ill., according to law enforcement officials. Hodgkinson, 66, owns a home inspection business. His home inspection license expired in November 2016 and was not renewed, state records show.

Get it while its hot. The dude is a Trump hating Berniecrat.
Okay, this just came across my Facebook feed. Here is the EXACT quote:
"You think now they might focus on gun voilence [sic] & white on white crime? #sarcasm"
Yeah, I know that "#sarcasm" is an attempt to contextualize the commentary as not being serious but this attempt rings hollow. Why post this incendiary commentary? It's power is greater than that of the qualifying hashtag. This is no different from the attempts at dampening the violent imagery conveyed in Kathy Griffin's beheading pic. Gotta hand it to the Left, they are relentless in their attempts to obscure their violent tendencies.
I second that.
It can be added to the pro-gun omnibus.
The NFL geniuses already want to get rid of kickoffs because of their safety obsession, so this could put them in a tough spot: how can they eliminate a position, if it takes away this massive virtue-signaling opportunity?
They already have a chick-ref and a couple of minor chick-coaches, but a chick-player would be the ultimate PR score in their minds.
kicker chick
"Will she share the locker-room?" asks every male sports reporter.
Also the GOP might have a problem when a thread concerning the shooting of an US Representative turns into a chicks in the NFL debate.
"Now we can put the screws into the Left for their violent rhetoric. They've been normalizing Evil. Call them on it. At every opportunity."
I suppose, but I suspect it's useless effort. They're openly celebrating this.
This needs to happen at some Hollywood Democrat fundraiser.
Bonus points if you can dupe a Progtard into thinking it's a rally of secret Trump supporters in the entertainment industry.
@Dan actual performance doesn't matter.
If it did female athletics wouldn't even exist. Not to mention all the hyped up male athletes with inferior skills.
Never doubt the ability to virtual signal beyond rational thought.

They'll announce that the shooter was a retired white, male, retired business owner. They might show a picture if he looks like a stable, middle-American type. Then they'll do some tut-tutting about how some people [wink wink] are stirring up violence with their incivility and unfriendly politics, and let the listener put two and two together.
Then they'll change the subject as quickly as possible, before too many people start looking up the guy's motives and undo the good Narrative-building work they just did.
"Off topic but if she really joins the NFL its only a matter of time before she's creamed by a lineman."
That's why my reaction to these things is always, "Sure! Go ahead!" because it'll blow up in their face. Same thing with gender-fluid-NaN-coredump boys competing in girl's events. The backlash started with the first win.
You gotta be like this
MSM won't spend too much time on this shooter, and they'll be back to their Russian conspiracy theories by the end of the day.
On one hand, I'd hate to see a prime specimen of female pulchritude gets turned into roadkill, but hey, omelet...eggs.
I support the kicker chick if they put her in the NFL equivalent of boob armor.
Love this thread. Congressmen shot! Hey, football chick!

"MSM won't spend too much time on this shooter, and they'll be back to their Russian conspiracy theories by the end of the day."
No, no. It's 14D zero gravity poker-chess, you see?
Trump's Russian hooker handlers brainwashed the guy via Bannon Trump's fidget spinners to create sympathy for the GOP.
Proof: Senator McCain said that if you overlay Trump's last seven tweets on top of one another, it spells out a quote by noted Russian hacker Fyodor Dostoyevsky.
Isn't there an old song about this? "Take me out at the ball game"?
A shooter from Illinois, travelled to Virginia/DC to shoot with a "high capacity assault death machine gun AK-16 style."
They have very strict gun laws in IL and DC.
Doesn't he know how many gun laws he would break?
Well when you put it that way it all makes perfect sense.

If you think the next thing is women in men's sports you are not paying attention. They have trying in every sport for 100 years and can count not a single success.
On the other hand, women born with the odd birth defect of male genitalia are increasingly dominating women's sports. The chances are good that one of these amazing women successfully breaks into men's sport for the first time ever.
I am way too short for this ride, but be that as it may...
If you do a word study of the Ammonites mentioned in the old testament, the name that keeps coming up is Balaam. We all know him, he's the guy with the talking ass, and he's presented in our Calvinistic Evangelical history as a hero, except he's not. The New Testament mentions him more times than most of the other OT people put together. His crime? Telling Balak how to bring down the Isrealites by sending his women to intermarry with them. The worst kings of Isreal are the spawn of Solomon's Ammonite wife. Solomon for all his wisdom, built temples to his wives gods.
So I don't know if it is wrong to marry interracially, as much as it's wrong to unequally marry.
Not sure, but isn't a lot of the sharking coming out of the indoctrination in the institutions we subject our children to? The "magic negro" to put it crassly.
FWIW.
And if anybody is still reading, any Ilk that would be willing to pray for me, my father is in my front bedroom dying of aspiration pneumonia, pray I speak truth to him, but in love.

I have to give the left their due... at least they're willing to pull the trigger. And we all know the end result is that Republicans will kow even more and double-down on timidness before the Almighty Democrats.
@Dan
Totally in agreement she doesn't have the goods. Well, depending on which commentator you ask she might.
But I just have this feelings they're pushing for the first woman to make the NFL all inclusive. Regardless of actual performance.
I remember recently I was somewhere with some kids program on that had a girl play quarterback.
It's being pushed. And sooner or later they'll be bold enough to try.
Thanks a lot, Dems & MSM. I hope you're happy. You think you're the only ones with mentally ill fanbois? Stop stirring the pot, shitforbrains.

Right? For months on end they've been hammering Trump on how dangerous he is and must be stopped. So now we have some pro-Sanders nutcase who acts on it. To say they have blood on their hands is an understatement.
The only way I can see any hope of a female kicker making in the NFL is if she is nearly 100% within her range. But, the NFL is a game of spreadsheet as much as anything else.
"But I just have this feelings they're pushing for the first woman to make the NFL all inclusive. Regardless of actual performance."
So... arena football. :D
I just watched the video clip where Va's Governor says "we lose 93 million americans today to gun violence."
I did not know that pot was legalized in Virginia. McAuliffe smoked some pretty good stuff.
Guess which number all those snowflakes will stick in their "minds."

"Sir, just checking. Ninety-three million is a big number. Did you mean to say 93 million?" one reporter then asked.
"Ninety-three individuals a day," McAuliffe corrected himself.
I don't even think a male 145 lb kicker has much chance of playing in the NFL.
Time for common sense Liberal Control laws. And some prosecutions for Sedition.
I heard comments on a local supposedly "conservative" local talk show that amounted to blaming the NRA for the guy having a rifle.
Pertinent:

A male wouldn't. A female.....maybe, just maybe, if they can find a way to pull it off.
To be clear: I don't mean as a viable player. I mean as a stunt, but a stunt that they can portray as definitely not a stunt.
In a final act of "Resistance", the Virginia shooter died, not allowing the State to spend too much money to prosecute him.

"The worst kings of Isreal are the spawn of Solomon's Ammonite wife."
You mean those big cuttlefish looking things? Damn, that sounds like something out of Lovecraft...
As expected, the shooter has died (perhaps he had Seth Rich's doctor), so the media won't have to deal with him saying embarrassing things about Hillary Clinton (he was a NeverClinton BernieTard) or extolling the virtues of communism at his trial, or anything like that.
Now they can just show pictures of a pudgy white guy from middle-America where they have all those guns, you know, hush up the fact that he made sure he knew which field the Republicans were on, and let people who aren't paying close attention draw the intended conclusion.
So does this mean we get the USS Steve Scalise launched soon?
He's got a second facebook page:

This one shows Bernie as Uncle Sam and is full of anti-Trump posts. Gotta think the Zuckerserfs will have this down pretty soon.

Oh, and what's the over-under for how many prescription meds the guy was on?

He had a RIFLE. Not a "long rifle"; that is a .22 cartridge. Now, a rifle IS a long arm, or long gun, as is a shotgun, compared to a revolver or pistol.
I don't get the point of all of the conspiracy theorizing about "psychotropics". If those drugs really caused these kinds of things, there would be thousands/tens of thousands of these acts every day. They are the most widely prescribed drugs in the country. I think they are not nearly as useful as they are made out to be, but of COURSE there's a high chance a shooter is going to be on meds.
People who go kill others aren't generally the happy, fulfilled people who are unlikely to be on scripts. Of course, anyone who kills a bunch of people and ISN'T on prozac or w/e will be instantly forgotten - it's just confirmation bias all the way down.
@145 The connection is made because many "mass shooters" are on them. Usually young men under 25. The drugs are known to cause psychotic breaks in those under 25. Yet they prescribe them. Then they cry when a kid gets killed in a drive by and want all guns banned.
Also, there is just no way that a female kicker would actually cut the mustard in the NFL. As a publicity stunt, maybe - but as an actual player? Kickers are actually held to an incredibly high standard, and there isn't a huge amount of variation between the best NFL kickers and the worst. Maybe they could play in arena ball (do they even have designated kickers?) with a shorter field, but it's pretty important in the NFL to be able to have a high percentage of good kicks at ~40 yards, and to be capable of the 50 yard at least occasionally.
Second, she'd actually have to be as good as top tier kicking talent in the NFL for it to make any sense - you can never really use her as a safety on a kicking play to save the touchdown or w/e, and she's likely to get seriously injured if she gets hit AT ALL. To be worth that kind of risk and to have absolutely no defensive value at all, she'd have to be better than your average kicker... and NFL kickers are just too good for that to be the case.
...Balaam. We all know him, he's the guy with the talking ass, and he's presented in our Calvinistic Evangelical history as a hero,
That is the second time I've heard this. It is slander. Proof it.
Balaam presuaded the pagans to seduce the Israelites to engage in sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols. Now, fool, find such in Calvin's writing or renounce your slander.
As far as you're going to get is that he was a seer with whom God interacted; does that make God complicit in Balaam's corruption.

With his marksmanship, he may have.
Pelosi: I pray every day. I get more death threats than any of you. I pray on sundays. I pray for everybody. Me. Me. Me. I pray for Trump. I get a lot of death threats. Me.
"h, and what's the over-under for how many prescription meds the guy was on?"
If its not war (and even if it is) to walk up to group unarmed people and start shooting seems to hint at a degree of mental instability and illness. He probably needed more medications, not less.
So the guy was a Bernie Boomer. More reason to hate boomers.
Scalise isn't well loved outside his district, he's an opportunistic GOPe. I don't like him, but I didn't want him shot, either.
If Clay Higgins had been practicing softball, you can bet he'd still have a pistol strapped to his slide shorts.

Of course they'll bow down even more to the leftard/globalists. The actual reason the Gay Old Pedbears exist is to "conserve" the gains made by leftists like Clinton, Pelosi and Housenigga Hussein. Don't be surprised to see some gun control measures from them. They can drag out the zombie Gabrielle Giffords and her "patriot" astronaut hubby and name a new gun-control law for her. They need to keep the pizza deliveries coming after all.

Aaaaaaand ... you are correct, sir.
"it's pretty important in the NFL to be able to have a high percentage of good kicks at ~40 yards"
They have to get it over the linemen too. College kickers put it over the goalpost at 70 yards all the time when they are playing around at practice because they can lower the angle for optimal distance. So 40 yds with the necessary arc is probably a stretch for the chick.
UPDATE: They now say the Bernie Sanders-inspired mass shooter was fed on HATE from Rachel MadCow! Huh, no surprises here!
The US national HATE Media and Democrats are DIRECTLY to blame for the shooting of the Congressional Republicans! Within the last month two artistic works have drawn criticism for imagined violence against Trump. In May, comedian Kathy Griffin apologized for a photo where she held a mask of a bloody, severed Trump head after a major backlash where CNN cut ties with her. More recently, a production of Shakespeare’s “Julius Caesar” depicted a Trump-like figure who was assassinated. The president’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on Twitter highlighted another user’s tweet that said, “Events like today are EXACTLY why we took issue with NY elites glorifying the assassination of our President,” soon after shots were fired at Republican congressmen during a baseball practice.
FOR SHAME!!
"The shooter at the GOP congressional baseball practice this morning is James T. Hodgkinson of Belleville, Ill., according to law enforcement officials. Hodgkinson, 66, owns a home inspection business. His home inspection license expired in November 2016 and was not renewed, state records show."
And his Facebag account just happened to confirm his hatred for Trump and love for Bernie. Anyone else finding this very odd???
Apparently, the shooter just died in the hospital from his wounds.
Sadly, he's expected to continue voting for Democrats for many years to come.

We welcome him into our spectral arms.
On the subject of libtard violence - at least they suck at violence. If/when our side is forced to fight back it will be a cake walk.
On the subject of virtue signaling NFL - I stick by my earlier prediction. We will get a tranny cheerleader pre-choppadickoffame surgery before we ever see a true female playing in an actual game that counts. The tranny won't cost a team a crucial game like the first chick player undoubtedly will.
Not observably "crazy", a former mayor of the city going to the YMCA to work out casually met him "every day" for the past month and a half, says he appeared to be living out of his gym bag, didn't appear to set of any alarm bells. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/2017/live-updates/public-safety/updates-shooting-at-congressional-baseball-practice-in-virginia/gunman-was-living-out-of-the-gym-bag-former-alexandria-mayor-says/

I am old enough to remember when we used to negotiate with the USSR style communists. The most notable thing for me was the disconnect with reality. They lived in a world that existed only inside their heads. That is where we are with the in the beltway Democrats. Hard to say if it is normal lying because it seems delusional.
It would seem just another version of SJW's always lie.
Annnd like clockwork: McAuliffe trying to confiscate guns.

My oldest son just asked me "what's wrong with shooting congressmen?"....and I didn't know how to answer.

No, no, it's not about the guy who happens to be one of their (typically crazy) own. No-sirree, Bob, it's about those guns! Sweet Lord, they are a parody.
@87-Yeah, but the article says she can kick farther than "you," meaning me. And I'm sure that's true. If she can kick better than any male whatsoever, including those with no athletic ability, then men and women equal!
96. Dave: "Also the GOP might have a problem when a thread concerning the shooting of an US Representative turns into a chicks in the NFL debate."
Speaking as a republican precinct chair ... Dave, I think you just won the thread.
As the calls for "more gun control" rain down note this guy was an Illinois resident. He went through a back ground check even if he bought the gun as part of a private party sale. Illinois requires a "FOID" card to purchase a firearm from a dealer or a private individual.
The guy got off 50 shots?!?!?! What did the Secret Service do, just stand back and wait till he ran out of ammo, a la Columbine/Orlando
They might have been the same hookers and cocaine using SS members that protected Obama.
A Congress-critter has called for concealed carry for Congress-critters. How elitist.
One of the details coming out: he fired his rifle dry and was down to his pistol when the Capitol Police were able to charge him and shoot him up.
He was living in Alexandria for a few months already before doing this. Again, no one see's something odd here??

I can understand the motivation to blow off you protective duties and spend time on hookers and blow. What's the downside to failing to protect Obama adequately?

Why don't you explain it to us, since we're such dummies. I see a Trump-hating socialist Democrat, who talked about how Trump and Republicans who support him on the travel ban and repealing Obamacare need to be "destroyed," who let his business license lapse several months ago, who has a bit of a rap sheet with some assaults on it, who's been staying in D.C. for a while, probably working up his courage for this.
The only odd thing about it is that there's nothing at all odd about it.
It is amazing how quickly this story was pushed down the memory hole on the TV news. Make sure you keep pushing it on every open channel.
Anyone notice the lobbyist that was shot was from Tyson? Big donor to the Clinton's if I remember correctly. If I remember the reports correctly, Tyson uses a lot of labor from, shall we say, "parts unknown".
