What to make of this…


So how exactly do we “get along” when over half of a political party are either okay or indifferent about the assassination of an innocent man?
The MSM has led them to believe that he will destroy the country. Why didn't he destroy it his first term is my question to them .

What to make of this…

They have been told he is not innocent. He is evil, etc etc etc.
True
It is simply amazing that Trump was loved by the establishment until he ran for POTUS. Then, suddenly, he became evil, racist, and who knows what all else.
because he ran as a Republican
I’ve said it before - the man is not a saint. He has his own faults and issues.
As all human beings do.
But he is no more evil in 2024 than he was in 2014. It's just now he is challenging the power structure.
And there’s the rub, he’s promising to upset the “deep state” or more accurately, the fourth branch of government, the bureaucratic branch.
What people like this don't understand is the effects of a political leader being assassinated. The older folks in our group remember the 1960s - JFK, RFK, George Wallace, MLK...only Wallace lived from that group. Whether you agreed or disagreed with them, there is something deeply disturbing about a leader getting taken out like that. At least it is with normal people. I can't stand Biden or Harris, but if the same happened to them it would bother me a lot. These people don't understand what they are supporting by hoping for an assassination. It is a bridge too far for normal, rational people in a free society.
Agreed, no one should wish this to happen… NO ONE!

Are Parkside Grill or Tennessee Taphouse any good? They’re about 50 yards from hotel, will probably check out the better of the two from your Rec so I can drink and not have to worry about driving.


I have an early meeting and have to bolt back to GA right after for an afternoon meeting. I’ll probably be up here about once a quarter, we’ll grab a beer sometime when I’m back

Park side isn’t bad at all

Let me know in advance and I’ll buy you a beer
