As I said on the morning thread if this had been political Paul would be dead.

Watch how this pans out. It was this…it was that…but everyone knows what it was. So far not a single GOP’er has condemned this bullshit. Lock the fucker up…FOREVER!

If the assailant was competent. If the asshole thought he was “going to teach the guy a lesson”…we’d have what we do.

No details yet but the alleged perp is in custody. I am sure we will find out if the assailant was politically motivated. Worst case is he was a MAGA crazy trying to find Nancy but more likely he was a burglar.

In the DC area there are nonstop ads by the RNC against Abigail Spanberger. Speaker Pelosi is the centerpiece of the ads, which say that Spanberger gives Pelosi what she wants 100% of the time and implying that Pelosi is evil an unAmerican, a hero for criminals, not one of us. That kind of shit is just enough to motivate some dumbfuck to do something like this. Of course, this was politically motivated. The ass didn’t attack the man in the next house over.

Now-now. Let’s not pull a Rubio and make a claim that is not true. Even if you’re right, it’s still pulling a Rubio to make this incident political and to score points off of it.

Waiting for RW media to start portraying this as a false flag op.

If only a burglar was involved, imagine how Newt Gangrene will make hay of it.

If I had to bet I would say it was targeted.

Twitter lines already being drawn. The Left is blaming violence of RW rhetoric.
Meanwhile the Right is making it a Dems Law & Order/Weak on Crime issue.

I hope he’s alright. And I hope Nancy is too.
I don’t think this was on any of our Bingo cards.

They could all be correct. One of the J6 defendants just found out about law and order yesterday, and he‘s not the only one.

More fruit from the poisonous tree planted by Orange Julius Caesar. The Big Lie continues around the country, pushed by desperate people. I fully expect a political assassination (or several!) will be in the news soon. Vote blue, your life depends on it.

What the hell are you talking about? Do you think this was some random…go into a home…beat up an elderly man…( with a hammer ) steal nothing…for shits and giggles? It’s actually OK to speculate and I’ll do it. 3 guys were just convicted of trying hijack the Gov. of MI and if you failed to notice…over 2000 wack jobs spent 4 hours breaking into the US Capitol looking for the other Pelosi. I’ll call it as I see it…
OK…first tidbit out from the Sheriff…The Pelosi’s home was deliberately targeted…singled out.
And now there’s more: the assailant went about the home yelling “where is Nancy”…he was just curious I guess.
And…it appears Mr. Pelosi was injured to the point he needs “brain surgery” which from what I’ve read is a decompressive procedure to relive a cerebral hematoma or subdural hemorrhage. He’s lucky to be alive.
So this 42 year old man hit a man in his mid 80’s in the head with a hammer. And targeted the home’s occupants aforethought. I hope it was worth it for this fool. He’ll likely spend most of the rest of his life, if not all of it, in prison. He’ll be a Qanon hero for a few days…then forgotten.

Twitter is not the real world. As of yesterday it is Elon’s world. Let them do there as they wish.It bears no impact on reality.

Twitter is one thing but elected leaders should wait until there are more facts, which shouldn’t take long.
