Pelosi’s statement broke my heart. “Our children, our grandchildren and I are heartbroken and traumatized by the life-threatening attack on our Pop.” I also think it’s notable that they’ve retreated from the full recovery language from her office’s preliminary statement. She said “The outpouring of prayers and warm
wishes from so many in the Congress is a comfort to our family and is helping Paul make progress with his recovery. His condition continues to improve,” while Biden said “He seems to be doing a lot better [than yesterday],” and her son, when asked, just thanked everyone for their prayers. That’s not the language of a straightforward road to recovery. I cannot imagine what they are going through. This must be so terrible and heartbreaking for their family. Especially since, by most accounts, she is about to retire. They came so close to freedom and now, probably, things will never get to be the same. It’s so cruel. She quoted Isaiah in her statement which tells me she finds comfort in prayer, therefore I will keep her and her family in mine.

And security footage from cameras. It could do so much to squash the conspiracy people.

Why? So the general public can see the layout of their house, making them even more vulnerable, Use your brain.

It’s a pretty big invasion of privacy to show someone who has just been terribly assaulted

And it wouldn’t do anything anyway. The ethically challenged will come up with another explanation for why it’s false.

yup

Let’s test that

Elon Musk deleted his tweet without explanation or apology.

He showed intent and premeditation. Insanity defense won’t cut it.

Plus, pretty funny that Republicans are like “he’s gotta be insane to be spouting every conspiracy that Tucker has been railing about for two years.”

It’s so damn funny! Their evidence of mental illness is that he believed their lies! It would be so hysterical if people weren’t too dumb to connect those dots. Those easy, in your face, obvious dots.

I very much doubt this will go to trial. He’ll be declared insane, a deal will be made, and he’ll be shuttled off to a mental hospital and not heard from again.

It’s all going to come out in prosecution of this guy, so everybody should calm down and relax.
