Yea, I guess he should have tipped some cars over, lit them on fire and bashed in some business windows downtown. Bummer he missed that opportunity to be "mostly peaceful".

I probably sound like I'm defending him, he shouldn't have posted the threats and pointed the gun at them. (assuming we are getting the real story) If this was a lib/antifa punk and they said what he said and then pointed a gun at cops, I'd think he was planning on carrying out what he said he would do, I'd think he was telling the truth. So, if this guy got shot I see it.
However, If someone pounded on my door at 6 in the morning I'd most likely be at the door with a pistol to see what they want. If my front window was bashed in and I was in my undies, groggy and freaked out, I'd have a pistol when I went into the living room. So I'd hope I wouldn't get shot in that instance. Now, pair that with tons of threats maybe I should expect to but I still think they should have just apprehended him when he was using his walker to get into the car to go to church or that store or whatever. He would still be alive, this wasn't an immediate threat.
It stinks to me.

Yea, apparently no knock raids are OK as long as you're not a democrat.
Is yelling through a megaphone from the street a no knock raid? It's not like they came in like ninjas, the entire neighborhood heard them asking him to come outside. He refused, so the knock at that point seems like a silly technicality to hang an argument on.
I also get what you're saying, and the protests turned into riots in many places is lame and often caused by people who are just itchen for a chance to cause havoc (politics aside) but I think the difference between a guy who has made violent threats, who has refused to comply, and has a gun pointed at your face and a massive group of people destroying property is fairly significant. Also, they tend to take the president's safety reasonably seriously.
None of us were there, so I guess it comes down to which narrative you choose to believe. It's sad that it had to end the way it did, regardless of how the events unfolded. I'd let people come bash in my windows and tip my truck over if it would bring the guy back to life, even if he did seem like a complete asshole.
I don't think I've ever doubted the existence of lasers from space, more so the believability that Jewish controlled Italian military owned space lasers were reprogramming ballot counting machines in favor of Biden.
I honestly made up all the stuff about how they were being directed towards our atmosphere to control the weather patterns. Just to be sure since some people believe everything they read on the internet. (or did I?).

I'm curious about the ballet counting machine. Does it count the number of dancers? Or does it tally Chaînés and En croix? And are we now saying that the manipulation of the ballet counting machine caused the countries ballet companies to switch their votes to Biden, thus handing him the election?
ha ha typo, but now that you mention it, I suspect it's being used to gay up America. Have we looked into this?

US Senate's McConnell freezes up for second time in public appearance
Top U.S. Senate Republican Mitch McConnell froze up for more than 30 seconds on Wednesday during a public appearance before he was escorted away, the second such incident in a little more than a month, a clip from an NBC News affiliate showed.

What does everyone thing about age limits for politicians? I realize I'm on the young end of this conversation (40), hence the ask.
I personally think if you're over retirement age (let's say 66) you probably shouldn't be serving. While I've met some people in their early 70's that seem quite sharp they still fall asleep if they've been sitting too long. What a weird position we're in...
PS if you read the comments there's a guy in there that says "Biden seems very articulate, capable and most important, sane." I can't believe anyone could ever think that.

If retirement age is 72 for social security, I think it is reasonable to put a retirement age on politicians that reflects that.US Senate's McConnell freezes up for second time in public appearance

I am not a doctor, but it sure looks like Vasovagal Syncope, I've seen in others.

Electable until that age and whatever the term (that'd give us some 78 yr old senators) is, they could run that out?

For significant federal office, I think above 70 there should be rigorous annual mental evaluations, reviewed by a committee of experts, with results publicly available. Old drivers should be held to something similar.US Senate's McConnell freezes up for second time in public appearance

I also think term limits of 18 years max, with the ability to run for ANY re-election contingent on a balanced budget. If you don’t balance the budget, you’ve failed the office, and are barred from public service.
When I run things it’s all going to get fixed.
