You can see the lift falling as it sprays. That would be a badass way to cool down, tho:

If you attack a NATO member, the largest military in the world responds. The US has multiple of the largest air forces if you count our military services separately. I would assume Trump pulling us from NATO would affect our forward bases, but we may do better than brexit I guess. I just don't see it as likely. But, my point is that our independent and joint military ventures frees up nations with smaller GDPs to focus less on their own defense (even if they contribute more as a percentage) and it's a situation the US military likes.

The US military is bigger than every other military combined, unless things have changed in the last few years.

We build bases and share planes and tech, they let us and save on defense. Our defense strategies involve using NATO bases to fuck up opposing belligerents.

Then I ask you: if this is how you rationalize the violence, what prevents you from doing the same?

Faith in humanity? Optimism? If the gas trucks roll out I won't last long, but I'm not convinced terror is inevitable if Trump wins.

In a different vein of thought, does this same argument justify those on the far right who are frightened (logically or illogically) of the left threatening violence on their perceived opponents?

Most of the right's concerns are amorphous nuttery. The left's concerns are very concrete and frightening. They also have evidence (such as 2025) to back them up.

If they're honest about their concerns, I really don't know what to think about doing nothing about it. What are you willing to sacrifice to prevent a holocaust? At the very least we should all be quietly arming ourselves. Prefer private transactions.

My belief in robust self defense matches that of most self defense laws, and I'd wait until they're killin' to support armed resistance.

Hydro line was spraying toward trump. I'm kind of curious if it was from the secret service.

Trump is the end of democracy and he's going to genocide everyone that doesn't look like me. None of our political rhetoric is healthy right now. I shouldn't be amazed at our lack of self awareness regarding politics, but fuck.

What everyone should be talking about is...

Or nothing. Just stick to too soon jokes and wait for details.

If I believed everything people think Trump would do if elected, how could you ethically not want to do it yourself?

Put every marginalized person on one track and trump on the other. Do you pull the lever?

There's an extended video that shows a lift spewing hydraulic fluid with one more gunshot. I'm guessing homie moved and the secret service donated a bit more lead.

Edit. He was firing the left of the stage from our viewpoint, so he probably did hit the poor lift.

Oh, yeah, bad wording. Heavily moderated is what I should have said. Libertarians don't have much to keep quiet about.

I learned debate from cannibals that ate my uncle.
