I never imagined my country would act like this.
I see it as Congress failing in its moral duty to protect the society in which it (mal-)functions. Potus-45 has further eroded that sense of moral duty, and the baying rabble that is the Republican Party is only making matters worse.
Please read carefully there was only one hammer.

As a survivor of domestic violence, I am never surprised by the actions of men who think they should control what women do. The guy intended to kill Nancy. It’s what abusive men do to women.
Fox News is playing this down so as to not make it political but how else would you view a man coming into your house with a hammer in his hand and asking "where is Nancy?" Seeing that she is gone he attacks her husband with the hammer. Most likely he was not a Democrat. Shame on you Fox News.
Well the guy was in his underwear, he made it through that neighborhood that is loaded with homes with security, he broke in through a window and the glass was on the outside, both men had a hammer when the police showed up, Pelosi conducts national business in that house so there should have been security for the home and the CIA there, but a guy in his underwear made it in with a hammer and her husband just happened to have a hammer too, and the police didn’t shoot him while swinging a hammer?????
Seems fishy to me.
@CourtJester Both men with hammers did sound suspicious to me but this guy seems like some kinda nut job. In his underwear, huh. Now let's look at the suspicious set up where Nancy tells her husband that he can take these hammer blows for political reasons. He won't be killed or anything but he will go to the hospital. Are we thinking that something like this went on here? Nancy can own the GOP close to election time and get sympathy for her DUI hubby. Is this something like we are thinking might have happened? Just asking.
@DenoPenno
There is more to it than is being said.
@Lorajay Many strange rumors going on right now about this including one from Elon Musk. He took down his post, then put it back up again. Most say the entire story was misleading and they make up bullshit about it like Musk did. Fox simply claimed they had no motive for any of this. If you present the motive it does not look good for the GOP.
Now the attacker confesses the whole thing and tells what he was going to do and what he came there for. Charges against him could hold up to 40 years plus in jail time if convicted. Yes, he says, he was looking for Nancy. Looks like "something just is not right about this story" just flew out the window.
There has been the warnings of a civil war for some time now. Apparently, the only way trump can stay out of jail is to either start a war among us citizens or get elected as president again. I would like to hear someone talk this away as rubbish. Please?
Yet it’s the democrats screwing everything up.
It is a fundamental misunderstanding of the idea of what freedom of speech and expression actually means.
It does not mean that everyone has the right to say and do whatever the fuck they want to, it never has.
It does not mean a citizen has all of the rights but none of the concomitant responsibilities that being a citizen entails.
It does not mean a citizen is suddenly immune from the consequences of their speech and action, if fact it means exactly the opposite, one can say whatever one wants, but one will be responsible for such speech or action and for the ramifications resulting.
A person who choses to use the right of free speech and expression to break existing laws or to slander another will be subject to that same law, but can be condemned for doing so, be arrested tried and punished for doing so as is their right too.
I understand....we've taken it for granted for far too long!
