BREAKING! Congressman Steve Scalise, Aides shot at baseball practice

[Cripplecreek]

Looks like Bob Beckel to me. BTW, I've seen Beckel get so worked up at conservativism that it wouldn't surprise me if he turned very violent in the right setting.

I just saw a retweet on Ben Shapiro's Twitter that Scalise's condition has been downgraded from critical to grave, but some are saying that information came from Tucker Carlson, and that he got it wrong.

Fox news said it was downgraded to critical.    They want to use the words downgraded so it's probably because of that.

Sensationalist jerks.

Might be a good time to put aside the blame game and send prayers to the scalise family and our country.
Anger is counterproductive at this time.

Agree.  But will anyone listen?    Lots of folks are invested in the civil war narrative:

When it finally dawns on enough Conservatives and Republicans that we can no longer co-exist with the other half of the population in this country . . .

Another hearty AMEN to that!

Anger is counterproductive often; but I haven't see that stop folks.

[TomSea]

Fox is doing a great job; we will hear up to date news.

But those who seem to criticize only conservatives while insisting they are conservatives may find fault.

[TomSea]

Drudge is on top of this, "the new face of hate." The leftwingers (sorry if this offends some people  ) are really taking our country to the dumps.

[mountaineer]

 Right now, we might try focusing on Rep. Scalise's condition and praying for him, instead of taking swipes at other people.

[TomSea]

I've scoured fox news and haven't seen this "downgraded" term; we must be careful if those who are notorious for not backing up their info; just cavalierly say things with no proof; they might even slander.

[Sanguine]

Yes, prayers for Rep. Scalise and his family are in order.

[mountaineer]

All I've found is that he's critical and will need a third surgery. Let's post updates whenever we find them. And may God heal him!

[Silver Pines]

Sincere question---will this be a prayer thread, and should we create another one for other aspects of the discussion?

@TomSea
It was on the TV this morning.  Verbal ya know, talkie talkie

So I'm notorious eh.

Please, do let us know when the time is right for anger @Rivergirl

Thanks ever so.

I would keep this one for news discussion and start a separate thread for prayers and updates on Scalises' condition.

[Silver Pines]

Looks like Hannity did his show live from the field where people were almost massacred and spent his time railing against Robert Mueller.

Okay, that's fair.

[sneakypete]

In lies the root cause...    When the entitlement junkies start losing their "free stuff"........  Blood in the streets will start.

@catfish1957

 When you quit feeding your pets,they will try to eat you.

It is a complete mystery to me why ANYONE can't understand such a basic fact.

[sneakypete]

Yep, but we'd also predicted when the EBT cards ran dry, the S would HTF. I seriously hope the Obamaphones go dark first. At least it would slow the horde down.

@Smokin Joe

If there is one thing you can be certain of it is that NOBODY will have working telephones once the mass rioting starts. Nobody but the government employees with encrypted government phones whose job it is to bust heads and break riots,that is.

The government is more than content to sit by and watch thee and me get attacked,but there is no way in HELL they are going to sit idle while the government is getting attacked.

If we can't be angry when a radical leftist tries to assassinate Republicans when is it appropriate to get angry?    Do we need to wait until we have actually dug our own graves and are standing in them?    If not for his inability to aim his gun and the armed security we'd likely be looking at a minimum of 5 to 10 dead Congressmen.

Most Congressmen do not have armed security outside of the Capital building.  Meanwhile many leftists continue with the violent rhetoric.
