We know now that the suspect did fire his weapon and it is suspected he is the one who shot the Agent.

For those of you who are interested in a good read, this article is about a focus group of regretful Trump voters.

I had so much hope in the beginning of the article, but by halfway through the cognitive dissonance kicked in. They think Trump is corrupt, but also see and accept Vance, Rubio and Cruz as the future of the party. As of these people arent just as corrupt and helping Trump do all the things they don't like right now.

Use this link though. As it bypasses the paywall.

I neither understand nor sympathize with the idea of a regretful Trump voter. He is as bad as anyone with a brain knew he would be. If anything, this proves that his voters are largely unlearned bigots. The evidence for this is their continued support of racist Vance and war mongering Rubio.

Thanks imaround, those comments certainly did not help to quell the conspiracy fires.

Thanks again for the second link, imaround, about the Trump supporters.
Some thought he would have learned from his first term.
Well he did. He learned how to more effectively monetise his position.

The third link is also very helpful imaround.
The suspect's shotgun was fired.
But they are still examining forensics.

On another note. The SC overturned the Voting Rights Act, which will now allow states to racially discriminate when gerrymandering.

We are still waiting on the birth right citizenship ruling.

How can that ever be legal, in a civilised country?

I'm so sorry you are living through this, imaround. but hearing from you is good. lessons to learn.

I am fearful that lessons are not being learned though.

Look where Reform are in the polls.

People are as dopey as the Americans!

Not a new conspiracy, but problems are being reported about how the prosecution side is dealing with 'court' procedure in this case.
They do not seem to be following protocol, which is strange, given the importance of this case.

Still not absolutely clear who fired what.
That is weird, as a shotgun blast causes different damage compared to the result of a handgun discharge.

You would imagine that top notch lawyers would be all over this

Our first election cancellation, mere days after the Supreme Court ruling on the Voting Rights Act.

Red states are now saying they will gerrymander all Democrat seats out at the state level too.

They have successfully destroyed free and fair elections. I can hope this backfires on them and they rig themselves out of power when their base turns on them. A girl can dream.

And we all may wish.

The way I see it the Democrats seem pretty rudderless. They need an inspiring figurehead to lead them if they want votes.

It isn’t like here where we have an opposition party. After November it should all take shape and hopefully Gavin Newsom will be at the forefront.

I think the impetus for change will strengthen and give form for the Democrats. I am confident a leader will emerge, different from the old family hierarchies and past leaders in style and form. What is happening now, under Trump, is so extreme that a broad opposition will form.

It has taken time and will probably take more for this sea change in this huge and complex nation. Wait and see.

Of course there’s an opposition party in America MayBee!

This, from Wiki:
The United States has a robust, two-party system where the party not holding the presidency acts as the opposition. The Democratic and Republican parties consistently oppose each other, with the minority party challenging the ruling administration's policies, especially in Congress.

I know that. But they don’t have a shadow cabinet with allotted roles do they. And Trump controls Congress at the moment I think?

The right-wingers on the Supreme Court essentially stripped Black American voters of their right to true representation. This will have far-reaching consequences for decades.

These are the decisions that remind me of how utterly stupid it was that Obama chose not to push his own Supreme court nominee for a vote before the end of his last term. Democrats were complacent and foolish observing some non-existent, unspoken practice of allowing the election-winner decide the nominee of a vacant Supreme seat so close to a general election. The impact of that gaffe has essentially anointed an orange wannbe-king and stacked the Supreme Court with people pushing for legalized white supremacy in nearly all aspects of American policy. The only hope for women and minorities to not return to second-class citizen status in the US is for several of the older right-wingers on the Supreme to die or retire after Democrats win a general election. There is currently a gerrymandering frenzy taking place in several red states to steal Democratic seats so that there are enough legislatures to rig even more election laws to suppress Black and minority votes before Republicans lose Congress or the general election. Repukes played chess for the last 10-plus years while lazy, complacent Democrats didn’t even recognize the game board.

To add, the Supreme court’s shadow docket has allowed many right-wing pushed cases to be heard out of the earshot and eyesight of the American public. What’s going on in the US is blatantly Orwellian. This is the begging of a dystopian future straight out of movie or novel.

Now more women will die in states where abortion has been made illegal.

Immigrant rights destroyed - check
Civil rights destroyed - check
Women's rights destroyed - check

And some people still think that Trump is the answer.

America does has a King! Unfortunately it's Henry VIII.

And some people still think that Trump is the answer.

To those who hate the concept of equality and equal representation, he is the answer. To those who hate progress and yearn for a return to a past where women and non-white males had little to no power and little to no opportunity to thrive, he is the answer.
