I won't hazard a guess on the correct O/U, but martial law worth considering at this point imo.

lol .
military or law officers dying in line of duty .
So unusual in the U.S.!
It’s something that just never happen in the American history …

You really are a dangerous cookie to promote martial law for that .
But hey u do love some trump , using emergency measure to do w.e he wants .

They need to stick to the billionaires/CEO's. Leave the guardsmen alone. For now

I'm not 'promoting' martial law (at least not yet).

I merely said it's worth considering.

And, for the record, I'm a dangerous cracker, not a dangerous cookie.

This shooting was the result of martial law. If there were no national guard there, they couldn't have been killed.

I take it you think the shooter should be executed-? He might be a murderous six year old after all.😮

He was already shot. I rather doubt they'll be doing their best to keep him alive, which I'm fine with.

But I just read that the shooter was an immigrant from Afghanistan who was allowed to move here because he had been a CIA asset. So basically someone trained by the US government, possibly to be a killer, then brought here, where he shot other military people.

Neither he nor the guardsmen should have been in DC.

I'm on my phone so can't link but to clarify, there's now conflicting MSM reports on whether the victims are dead or not with some recent articles stating they're in critical condition so I'm not sure what their status is. Msm are also reporting the suspect is a 29 year old Afghan national who came to the US in 2021 and had previously worked with the US military in Afghanistan.

Kash THREATENS EVERYONE

Why does Kash’s girlfriend need protection? And why should we pay for it?

Because some nut might try to harm her. Exact same reason Trump has pulled security from those he hates; some nut might try to harm them.

This is what a county falling apart looks like.

It's been falling apart for a long time, but the inhabitants have only recently noticed.

You wish. How’s the country of getting arrested for tweeting or holding a sign going?

The inhabitants actively cut America’s throat when they chose Trump a 2nd time.

The whole "certain people can't be racist/bigoted against certain other people" thing has always been really silly and should stop.

Americans can be racist against Turks but Kurds cannot? Really? Like what's the point of it? If you just want to say that some people deserve it then you should just say so.

*Pretty sure I meant to post this in the mod thread but oh well it can stay here.

In the Tump thread Trump is very bad while in this thread, reminded by a dirty foreigner of how bad it is, hey it's not really that bad?

You wish the country has been falling apart for a long time. Because it would play into your delusion that Trump is just a continuation of Americanism and not a goon coming to destroy it enabled by people that think like you.

Funny how you framed being British as being a dirty foreigner lmao

Trump is the essence of Nixon's anti-democracy with a chaser of Emperor Bokassa's corruption.

It's been coming for a long time, and now it's here - the result of decades of fools like you voting for bad politicians has inevitably been a worsening of the quality of politicians. Who'd have thought?

I'm pretty much the only good/competent person in this country so I blame you, Obama, Trump, , W, John Roberts, AOC and the other 350 million of y'all for every problem. I've been saying for years that you guys would screw everything up. EZ game and great rhetorical strategy!

Ah yes, if only I had voted Green Party, none of this would have happened.

You’re pathetically dumb.

Don't worry. As democracy comes crushing down around your ringing ears you will all be able to say it wasn't your fault

Rather stupid quip. It’s worth knowing why exactly things are failing, don’t you think? We can’t all be above it all like you chez.

Thank you and ? as I very much think we should be focused on why it is failing. As a starting point for what we should be changing and how. Not many are interested and Rococo in particular was very critical.

I'd go as far as to say that part of the reason it is failing is that no-one really cares to consider why it is failing. Let along work out what to do about it.

Apparently he drove 3K miles from Washington State to DC, with a 357 to shoot a couple guardsmen?
Seems weird. I wonder if he had a beef with that particular unit. Otherwise it seems like a huge sacrifice for such low profile targets.
