"So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” Biden said.

    Going full mask off?

    It’s obvious that bullseye in this case doesn’t mean “we should shoot him”.

      Presidents are allowed to assassinate people now, did you not hear that?

        He, also, can direct people to kill US citizens without concern to the Bill of Rights. Now it may be that it’s illegal for the person to carry out the order, but:

        • It would be a “Constitutional” order (see SCOTUS decision).
        • Presidents can issue pardons for federal offenses.

        His right to do as he pleases is absolute and the intentions cannot be considered.

        She drew crosshairs on congressional districts and tweeted it with the text “Don’t Retreat, Instead - RELOAD”. That is stated in literally the first paragraph of the article your citing, and I can’t help but feel you’re intentionally misrepresenting it to draw a false equivalency.

          Crosshairs, in a bullseye. It’s the same thing. Republicans at the time were dismissive of the correlation like liberals are about this. Apparently Biden and Co see a connection too as they’ve removed all ads targeting trump.

            It’s extremely common to remove attack ads of any kind if something bad happens to your opponent. You might know that if you were an American.

              So the truth of the matter is they are not serious about the topic in the ads. Planned division.

                I’d be interested to hear whether you regularly attend funerals and speak ill of the deceased. They stop their ads for the same reason you don’t shit talk at a funeral: its disrespectful and makes you look like a prick.

                  If the dead was an asshole alive I will remember them as an asshole dead. And speak of them as such

                    I’m not asking if you remember them as an arsehole and speak of them like that. I’m asking if you do that at their funeral.

            I’m a liberal and I agree with you. Don’t use gun-related jargon to talk about your political opponent. Applies to Palin, applies to Biden.
