Just a reminder: Trump inherited the lowest homicide rate of any president in 50 years. He was the first president in 30 years to leave office with a higher homicide rate than when he entered. And the rate has dropped every year since he left. www.foxnews.com/video/635815...

It’s almost like the pundit class wants the wrong things out of this campaign season

I can’t watch the outlet rn they have turned it into useless drivel akin to 2015/2016. Who is next to be canceled? Jen Psaki wasn’t on Sunday. I don’t expect any of their talent with real opinions to be on for the whole week so they can pledge fealty to the RNC

The Constitutional Crisis is already here. You are living inside it. No way back, for better or worse. Either fight to win the future or concede to fascist tyranny taking over our country, the world's largest economy and mightiest military.

Is this… based on the premise that the problem has been his language, not actions and policies and stated plans?

This is getting a little ridiculous. True loser shit. It’s basically tied. What do these people think their jobs are?

It’s been a wild 24-36 hours but Ralf Schumacher coming out on IG is amazing! Congrats to him and I hope this opens the door for more in motor racing to be open and honest about their whole lives

A few hours after posting on Facebook that “the left” was responsible for the assassination attempt (without any evidence for the claim), the OR GOP then issued a statement calling “on the media to stop feeding the contentious us-against-them culture amongst Americans.”

Holy fucking shit! To dismantle Novak like that in 3 sets on the most pressurized court in tennis…wow I am just in awe of Carlos #Wimbledon🍓

I am being the positive anti-doomerism person for many of my friends this election cycle which is new

Carlos is so impressive and he is seems like such a genuine guy compared to the bad guy Novak. Both are insane talents but it makes rooting very easy

The Times cover isnt about the shooting so what time do they go to print?

I’ll say one other thing; I don’t care how many hours have passed since the assassination attempt, there are just some people I’m not willing to take lessons on violent or irresponsible rhetoric from, or hear them out in good faith ever on this issue. Get fucked, fuck off, next.
