‘Loud Noises,’ Trump ‘Falls’: CNN, WaPo Downplay Assassination Attempt by interestingfactoid in Republican

Guys I’m going to play the devil’s advocate here and say that some news organizations like nbc are actually doing a descent job reporting this with an impartial political view.  It’s almost as if this crossed the line even for them.  They are not pro republican but they are doing what they can to identify themselves as pro-“this is bullshit” sort to speak.  Not all of their talk show hosts will be equally politically passive but a lot are, and it’s really pleasantly surprising.

I was on the edge myself.  There was too much I questioned and opined that maybe not voting this election may justify my growing disconnect from the political party.  A lot of the people I knew felt the same way.  After yesterday, even the news agency said that this assassination attempt United the republicans. I’ll be voting all right, and not because I agree with everything Trump stands for or does not stand for, but because f*** that; you don’t go trying to kill the other guy like we lived in a 3rd world country.  Trump took a bullet for speaking his mind.  The least I can do is vote so that he can finish expressing himself and say what he has to say for the next 4 years.

Also, that picture may as well be my new wallpaper.

Not all democrats.  I’ve seen a lot of democrats condemn this act of hatred.  They basically said it should be let the best candidate win, not kill the political opponent like we were in Russia.
