Something has changed in America’s psyche. Violence has become more acceptable. It’s not just that we’ve seen two attempted – and very nearly successful – attacks on Donald Trump’s life, it’s that a worrying number of young Americans cheered on those attempted assassinations and still wish they had succeeded.
Since early this year there has been widespread public support for smashing up Tesla dealerships – and for shooting Elon Musk. An unprecedented 10,000 new threats have been made against Senate and congressional members just this year, according to Capitol Police.
Applause for the actual murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in December goes on, unabated, online. His handsome young accused killer, Luigi Mangione, is praised, respected and even worshipped by a small – but growing – social media community. Elias Rodriguez, the man accused of killing two Israeli embassy officials in Washington on May 21, had praised Mangione on his social media.

So true! And now there are people jumping ship and heading toward the Independent side. Do you think Democrats can keep it together without a massive change in behavior and actions?
I think they need to do an overhaul and reassess their priorities. When you push certain demographics away, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that they didn’t vote for you.
 
There's wacko behavior like this going on with both parties. Didn't an arson recently try and burn down the governor's mansion with Josh Shapiro and his family inside it? The Democratic Party does need to get their crap together, but don't be surprised if things swing their way at midterms. Things change in a blink of an eye.

Yeah, you just never know. But the Independents are picking up steam.
 
Can we have downtown LA stand up and take a bow?

Thank you.


But protesters who remained grabbed chairs from a nearby public park to form a makeshift barrier, throwing objects at police on the other side. Others standing above the closed southbound 101 Freeway threw chunks of concrete, rocks, electric scooters and fireworks at California Highway Patrol officers and their vehicles that were parked on the highway. Officers ran under an overpass to take cover.

.... Nearby, at least four self-driving Waymo cars were set on fire, sending large plumes of black smoke into the sky and exploding intermittently as the electric vehicles burned. By evening, police had issued an unlawful assembly order shutting down several blocks of downtown Los Angeles.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom requested Trump remove the guard members in a letter Sunday afternoon, calling their deployment a “serious breach of state sovereignty.”
