…expresses what some of us are feeling right now…
“Does a reprehensible crime against a political figure lead to more reprehensible acts, or does it remind us that we have to be able to live with people whose opinions we despise without resorting to violence?” asked the presidential biographer Jon Meacham. “If this is open season on everybody who expresses an opinion, then the American covenant is broken.”

“If this is open season on everybody who expresses an opinion, then the American covenant is broken.” And one side has the full force of the US government behind it.
Trump says he wants national healing — while blaming the 'radical left' as a barrier
“I’d like to see it [the nation] heal,” the president said in a brief telephone interview. “But we’re dealing with a radical left group of lunatics, and they don’t play fair and they never did.”
In an appearance on “Fox & Friends” Friday morning, he singled out George Soros, the 95-year-old Democratic megadonor and the founder of a group called the Open Society Foundations. Trump said that “we’re going to look into Soros” for possible violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) law.
In reply to a question from NBC News about Soros, the president said that he “should be put in jail.”
Trump had posted that Soros and his son, Alex, now the chair of the organization, should be charged under RICO “because of their support for Violent Protest, and much more, all throughout the United States of America.”https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-says-wan...The late news, tonight, said Robinson is in the county jail. Bail was denied. The second attempt on Trump was on September 16, last year. They are working on selecting a jury for that trial now. So, I would expect a one year delay before Robinson is heard, speaking for himself, in public...unless he has an "accident" in jail. Until then, we will only hear what the authorities say about him. How the authorities choose to use the situation, and that delay, is an open question.

Steve, I completely agree. I just hope that Americans on both sides can find it within themselves, in the face of ‘current authorities’, to get our country to a better place. I am not sure this is possible, but I fervently hope it is.

“If this is open season on everybody who expresses an opinion, then the American covenant is broken.”
1) Political assassinations are as old as man.
'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'
'Et tu Brute'
"When will the republic find a citizen like me?"
2) This American Covenant?: "The American Covenant refers to the belief that the United States was founded on a sacred agreement with God, emphasizing a Christian foundation in its history and governance."
If that's what you're referring to yeah, we're toast under the weight corporate greed and criminal plunder like nobody has ever seen.
The 7 mortal sins being a basis of Christian conduct got thrown out a minute ago.
'The lord loathes a liar.' Led by malicious liars 'the american covenant' is toast.

They'll flood the zone with bullshit, same as they always do. The right-wing
propaganda network is working overtime on this one. I am expected to believe
that Robinson, who was raised by a Utah County sheriff, who grew up Mormon in possibly the reddest State in the Country, who was regularly taken to shooting ranges as a kid, there is a picture of him shooting an RPG at that range, I'm expected to believe that that young man is a radical leftist ?????????? lol,lol,lol That is some of the mostly bizarrely
stupid drivel I have ever heard or read.
But that zone flooding bullshit they're spewing in working on their MAGA base.
Expect the violence from MAGA to keep ramping up. And expect MAGA to keep
spitting out weak-minded zone flooding bullshit about how they are always the victim.

100% agree. I am middle,politically. We need at least 2 functioning Party's.
Seems like we have 0 functioning Party's. I have nothing against Conservatives,
we need them to balance out the Liberal side, and vice versa. But I'm as anti MAGA
as can be. There is nothing to be gained by trying to reason with MAGA.

I agree.
But it is going to be extremely hard to do when we have a President and a Republican Party that demonizes the opposition as 'pure evil'.

This is part of the cycle of our politics. I think the last rough time was the 50-60S. I was born in 51, so I was just becoming aware. MLK, two Kennedy's, various killings - I've accepted we're a violent racist bunch and periodically we're going to murder each other. That's the way we are.
So when it comes to guns, I advocated gun safes as a stealth way to let people see that some control can be helpful - less kids killed, but that's not catching any traction. Some day we may do what Japan did, and that's repudiate all the old violent ways, and let the old folks die off with their murdering ways. Could happen, but not much chance - so we're stuck here, in a far right wing swing of the cycle, hoping it doesn't get worse.
In the meantime the racists will be assuring themselves by seeing that the black and latino murder rates are higher, confirming their superiority to them.
It isn't the second amendment, it's us. We're easily manipulated into giving tax cuts to the rich, and voting against our interests.

That was imposed by an occupying American army and MacArthur.
Let’s just say that Japan was beat into a state of reasonableness.
