Sorry for the short notice on this one, it was announced this morning but I just found out now.

8 PM Eastern / 5 PM Pacific, from the Oval Office. Biden speaking, presumably about the Trump assassination attempt.

Video here of the earlier conference, still looking for the Oval Office speech.

        Well, they have already claimed that it was a hit ordered by Biden…

              You say that sarcastically, But I’ll put 10 to 1 odds that at least one Republican lawmaker seriously makes that suggestion, and at least even money that says this Supreme Court would actually uphold it if it were to make it to court.

                I say it sarcastically, but not without a hint of truth behind it. With the current political leanings of the Supreme Court, if Biden ever tried to off a political opponent as an official act, they would probably call for him to be impeached and hung for treason. If a republican did it, they would likely throw a pizza party and declare the act a necessity to preserve American politics.

      Doubtful he was a republican, I’m pretty convinced he was libertarian. Just saying

      Edit: Jesus, the mindless hatred. FWIW, I’m very anti Republican, but if you actually keep up with the information that has come out this dude was most likely libertarian.

      Edit 2: based on news that came out today looks like he was conservative / republican

          Correct, in PA, a state which is known for people registering against party affiliations. His father, whose gun he used, is libertarian, and he donated to the Democratic party.

            Registering as a Republican makes him a Republican no matter who he votes for.

            You are thinking of libertarian vs conservative or liberal.
