My brother texted me yesterday, "Someone's tried to assassinate Trump." I simply didn't care. Best I could reply was, "Well, that's rude."

A day later, everyone's in a frenzy. Idiots are analyzing the bullets' trajectory, reporters are digging into the life of some damned fool who accidentally killed someone he wasn't aiming to kill. Republicans, of course, are blaming Joe Biden, because Republicans always have the dumbest response to anything.

And I still have nothing to say about it, except the obvious — killing people is bad, even if the person you're trying to kill is stupid, mean, and hellbent on destroying America.

Trump is a symptom, not the disease. Killing him wouldn't solve anything — someone else would take his place, and nothing much would change. Or actually, it might change things for the worse, as most Republicans are as evil as Trump but smarter.

So put your damned guns away and vote for Biden. He ain't much, but he's sane.

Shoot the dictator and prevent the war? But the dictator is merely the tip of the whole festering boil of social pus from which dictators emerge; shoot one, and there’ll be another one along in a minute. Shoot him too? Why not shoot everyone and invade Poland?

Poland is the most-invaded country in recorded history. Let's invade Russia so they can catch up.
