Surgery to treat a skull fracture on an 82 year old man, and the blanket the airwaves with "he's going to make a full recovery"?

Yeah, no. An 82 year old brain does not recover completely from such an injury, and even if it did, there is no way to tell on the day of the injury and surgery.

But a skull fracture (bone) repair is NOT brain surgery.

So when someone kills a bunch of school children, magas say don’t blame guns, blame mental health.
And when someone attacked the Speakers husband, magas say don’t blame violent political rhetoric, blame mental health.
And magas consistently vote against improved access to health care that would improve mental health across the country.
Ergo, magas do not feel improving mental health - and hence reducing the risk of school children or politicians dying - is a worthwhile endeavor.
But hey… they get to own the libs, so #WorthIt

Mr. Pelosi is a father and a grandfather. Imagine what is like for his children and grandchildren when they have to imagine this person honey love having been attacked in this manner. Anyone making the slimmest excuse for the way people like Youngkin have responded needs some self-reflection. Republicans have lost the thread of what it means to be a human being.

It’s as is they were ready for this to happen. How about showing a bit of concern for Mr Pelosi?

We have.
Meanwhile, the leftwings here are blaming the rightwing with no evidence whatsoever.

The attacker is a right wing conspiracy theorist who yelled “where is Nancy?” so…

We don’t know that there hasn’t been any damage to underlying tissue. The surgeon who performed the skull surgery was probably a neurosurgeon. It’s not like there’s no risk with skull surgery.

+1 MGT supported executing Pelosi. Trump also uses incendiary words to his cult followers, people who are known to have mental health issues, and yet right wingers think these words won't have any impact on the political violence? GTFO

and so what is the R's answer to dealing with mental illness? Gut ACA, right? They closed down the federally funded mental health facilities, so what else are they going to do to "help" the mentally ill?

oh, I forgot to add.. they also want to allow the mentally ill to buy a gun. Thank god this guy didn't have a gun.

From what I'm gathering, the right wing defense is that this guy was clearly mentally ill because he believed the crazy stuff that Fox News, OANN, and News Max put out every day.

A part of me has begun to believe that the GOP’s plan for mental illness is that they’ll suicide themselves with the guns the GOP provides, a survival of the fittest type thing. I can’t think of another reason why they’d be so open to blaming mental illness for various ills but never addressing the treatment aspect and all while trying to get more guns into everyone’s hands everywhere.

This.
I fear he’s not really going to be the same again. Regardless of what policies you support, making light of violence against your political opponents is no way to govern.

I simply don’t understand how anyone thinks this is justifiable. Newt Gingrich, Joe Wilson, and Donald Trump really lowered the bar. And now we are reaping what these bitter, old, white men have sown.

What has our country come to?

I feel like I ask that question daily. We live in a scary timeline.

Looks like Youngkin didn’t get the memo.

He condemned it as well. As you know.

Youngkin is despicable MAGA trash. He doubled down this evening when given the chance to apologize and clarify his comments. Unclear what his fleece vest thought of this. Just as Jesus preached to his disciples I guess.

He didn't "double down" on anything. Do go on, though.

“As the governor clearly said, the assault on Paul Pelosi was wrong and there is no place for violence,” a spokesperson from the Governor’s Office said. “He wishes him a full recovery and is keeping the Pelosi family in his prayers.”

In other words, he meant what he said, he’s happy that Nancy Pelosi could have been killed and he doesn’t mind that her husband was gravely injured.

Once again, outstanding work to those of you who fell for his line about being “moderate.” Time to sit with your decision and maybe rethink some of the shibboleths you’ve come to believe.

yup...but the ones who didn't fall for it truly wanted a mini trump. You got him congrats!
