"Somebody is going to die." – Flopping Aces

These were the words of the democrat genius Debbie Dingell (D-MI). Those words were not uttered in a void. Many democrats were anxious to virtue signal subsequently to the Paul Pelosi fracas. Honesty was not to be the guiding light.

“Meathead” Rob Reiner tried to pin the attack on Donald Trump:

“The violent assault on Paul Pelosi and the attempt to murder Speaker Pelosi is directly related to that Lie,” the Oscar-nominated director and actor wrote. As a result, Reiner claimed, “Donald Trump is 100% responsible for this and Jan.6” and “must be indicted and never be allowed to hold office.”

Joe Biden resorted to his boilerplate bullsh*t:

“You can’t condemn the violence unless you condemn those people who continue to argue the election was not real, that it’s being stolen, that all the malarkey that’s being put out there to undermine democracy,”

Amy Klobuchar, who never misses a chance to sound like a loon, said the rhetoric against Nancy Pelosi “…has gone viral and it went violent.”

No violence was visited on Nancy.

There were, of course, efforts to paint attacker David DePape as a right winger. That really didn’t work for a couple of reasons. First, no right winger will find him or herself in nude hippie commune in Berkeley. Secondly, DePape held radical left wing positions.

But none of this is why I am writing this post. While I feel badly for Pelosi and hope he fully recovers I am not especially bothered by the event. Why? For numerous reasons.

There have been multiple attacks on Republicans with devastating results. The GOP is way ahead in the loss column. Steve Scalise (R-LA) was shot. Rand Paul was severely injured in an assault. There was a murder attempt on Brett Kavanaugh. These events were not taken seriously by democrats. There was another tragic event in which democrats probably couldn’t even name the victim. His name was Cayler Ellingson. Just 18 years old, Joe Biden and Tim Ryan got him killed.
