I can't imagine being 75 and deciding that the best use of my final years is to try to assassinate a moderate president. Even if you do feel the country is going to hell, you've got a decade left tops.

He let himself give into selfishness and anger instead of spending time with all that family, sitting on a patio chair with his dog and an icy Arnold Palmer waving to neighbors, and enjoying old man hobbies. What a frickin tragedy...

I want to know about serious issues with this country, but screw extremist media big time. News isn't entertainment. It needs to be real or this crap happens.

To play devil's advocate, I could imagine being 75 and deciding that "I'm going to be gone soon anyway, might as well use my final years to do something big."

The rest of your comment I completely agree with, though.

I hear you, but Joe is kinda boring as a president. What has he done even remotely worth hurting him for? If we were hypothetically saying "oh I'm dying, I'm going to get Reagan and GB for what they guy away with in the Iran Contra," maaaaybe, but the only guy I can think of that has it coming any less than Joe is Carter.

My dude, your logic. Yet somehow, you arrive in the right place.

Me neither guy, and I find it tragic that somehow these fucks that cultivate these attitudes are even allowed in government when really they should be in the jail.
