Point of clarification. We need to know for certain if the city sent cops or social workers to rescue Paul from his violent, underwear-clad "friend" at 2am

Whatever. You live by the sword, you can die by the sword. But both sides agreed families were off limits. Republicans breached a red line in the sand here with this civilian attack.

Years of histrionic fear mongering about this particular Democrat's wife "destroying" our country and so forth led to this attack, and ultimately, we have to decide whether we want a society in which no politician is safe. Now, there are accurate and inaccurate characterizations. Donald Trump did in fact try to destroy our democracy in inspiring and organizing the January 6th attacks, so saying that he is trying to destroy our country is merely factual. We should reserve those kind of terms for people actually attempting to destroy our democracy.

The point of clarification that we really need is for you guys to tell us what parts of this incident you are saying are fake and what parts are real. You have had all day to suss out your positions on that. But all we are getting now is cliched giggles like the post I'm replying to. You should grow some nads and lay the fraud theory all out.

Sorry, this^^^ post belonged in the "Black people are bad but I'm not going to actually say that" thread. This thread is about Nancy Pelosi's husband.
...Who, by the way, sustained a fractured skull and underwent brain surgery today. Man, he's really playing his part, huh?

I wonder how accepting today’s Americans would be if China were to successfully invade and conquer the United States. It’s normal history and everyone does it.
You do know that ritual child sacrifice happened in Europe, yes? Google Ver sacrum and find out.

Was it at a pro-liberal hospital? Maybe they faked the surgery. Faked the medical records. I haven't seen any hospital surveillance videos with Paul Pelosi arriving. For all we know Paul Pelosi spent the day at home with fake band-aids on his head getting quotes on the windows that the FBI busted.

We still have not established he is a Republican. He had alleged conspiracy posts that would align with the right. Yet he is a pro Castro nudist green and anti war activist from Berkley. I know those on the left want to categorize this as right wing violence real quick but this guy seems all over the place. The only thing clear at this point is that the guy was had some mental disorders.

No this situation just says that politically the US is now a third world country. So much for being the "greatest country in the world". Maybe it is time to stop spreading that lie as well, god knows there are already enough problems without pretending to be something you are no longer, and perhaps never have been.

Audio recording of the police scanner is the smoking gun. Paul told police the guy was "a friend." He was more than that (cue saxophone music).

A failed assassination attempt on the third most powerful politician in the US which resulted in the violent beating of her husband is deeply concerning and abhorrent. It's scary the direction the country is going.
Which country? The perp is from Canada? How soon before CA bans hammers?

Sorry, but that is a bat-sh!t crazy response.
Politicians are certainly fair game for criticism. But to suggest that it is not OK for politicians' families to be physically assaulted but that it IS OK for politicians themselves to be physically assaulted because "you live by the sword, you can die by the sword" is . . . well, bat-sh!t crazy.
