What needs to happen is that the left wing needs to check its crazies.

And the right wing doesn't?? The folks who blow up buildings (OKC)? Mass shooters? The guy who shot the Felon was a registered Republican. What little I can find on Kirk's alleged killer says there wasn't really any affiliation with either left or right (actually, some accuse him of being right-wing, but without substantiation...we may learn more when he's tried). Those are just two relatively recent ones.

Cole Allen may be left...hard to tell. He's an engineer, and most engineers are pretty conservative. I haven't heard of his affiliations so far, though I'm sure they'll come out. I can wait for the investigation before drawing any conclusions.

As it wasn't a government function, it is doubtful it would have been held in "the ballroom".

For the record, if the Felon gets funding from Congress, then I don't really care if he builds a ballroom. It could have its uses. I object (as do the judges, thus far) to him going ahead without first securing the funding. That's illegal, whether or not you support the building of a ballroom.
