dems own the hate and fear mongering franchise and expanded into violence.

Media protects the left, controls the news,..if a tree fell inthe forest and no one witnessed it, did it make a sound?

news items selected for far left support.

new version of rock paper scissors,,,,, left hits right, win, right hits left loose big time.

Remember when AOC was 'threatened' ? made the news and downstream stories spun by the media blaming Trump supporters.

Scalise and repubs shot at and the shooter was a lone wolf with no affiliation to the left.

So it goes.

Biden's silence is deafening! Biden's silence re protests at SCOTUS home and assassin is a dog whistle to far left fanatics to express their political views using violence. Consistent with waters and schumer calls to violence.

There is a lot to say about this... And, I think if this had been Justice Sotomayor, you would not be so nonchalant about this...
There were U S Marshalls at the Justice's residence when the would-be killer arrived there. He would not have gotten anywhere close to Kavanaugh. As I said before, LE did their job. They should be commended.

I don't know why you assume my attitude would have been different for a different justice. They all have had extra protection since that draft Roe opinion document was leaked. All Justices should be respected, even when some of us disagree with them.

The reason I find the coverage to be hypocritical is, because if a liberal Supreme Court Justice's life was threatened while President Trump was in office, and if he had not condemned the attack, it would have been headline news and the lead cable news story for a week, with calls for another impeachment for "leading an insurrection" against a government official...

Thoughts?.
Because he’d say - we need gun control - and the spit start flyin -

Of course it would. We need criminal control, especially violent criminals put away for life. Less violent criminals less violent crime…after all, guns don’t shoot anyone on their own and they’re not going anywhere.

President Joe Biden denounced the actions of an armed man arrested near Brett Kavanaugh's home after threatening to kill the Supreme Court justice, according to the White House. "As the president has consistently made clear, public officials, including judges, must be able to do their jobs without concern for their personal safety or that of their families," press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre told reporters Wednesday.

Scary but I'm not sure it got far enough to actually be called an attempt.
Biden spoke out condemning it.

He showed up at Justice Kavanaugh's house with a gun and knife. And, the media buried the story as best as they could, and we have not heard anything from the President. It is actually quite sickening. That would not have happened had this been about Justice Sotomayor...
