Dennis Quaid also has gone full MAGA and just played Reagan in what has been described as a supremely tedious biopic that simply worships the man as conservatives wish to remember him.

The only good Quaid we have left is Jack and I assume he's kept that way by the Ryan influence.
If he went full Regan he should be out there promoting new gun safety regulations.

As for all the ?s about how the "shooter" knew to be at the golf course ... be honest, if you wanted to find Trump the best bet is definitely at one of his golf courses.

AK-47, so probably another gun nutter conservative. For how much gun nuts love saying other people don't know anything about guns, they keep using the wrong weapon for the job.
A gun nutter conservative would know his guns and use a 30-06 a 6.5 creedmore or a 300 win mag.. This is someone who got their gun knowledge from MSNBC.

Ah yes Reagan. 17% on rotten tomatoes but 98% audience rating.

But only made $23M on a budget of $25M so far.

Really quite an impressive return on the dollar for the conservative movie moguls.

Typically conservative orgs and groups buy large blocs of tickets to something like this inflating the gross. Same thing with the endless stream of hack books they write. Generally not organic sales.

Also assuming rental on a picture like this is 50% the studio really only taking $11.5M and figure at least another $10-15M in marketing spend so they're still really in the hole.

With that return they should have just bought one DJT stock

My thoughts too if it didn’t come across.

But with ones like this shooter. Ones doing all the bomb threats that will get arrested and jailed and forfeit their right to vote and own guns. Just the orange monkey lead them off the cliff.

Presumably there weren't any under aged beauty pageants for him to sleaze around.

Trump did mention (maybe a couple times) years ago that there could be 2nd amendment solutions to problems. Looks like a couple nuts took him up on that proposal.

If only Harris would stop all the violent rhetoric her followers wouldn’t be targeting Trump. Think of the Haitians … I mean the children /?

Republicans: “We need the Second Amendment because the government should fear the people, not the other way around! Remember, the tree of liberty shall be watered by the blood of tyrants!!!”

Also Republicans: “FFS why can’t the Secret Service do their damn job and protect the President/candidates?? IT’S A CONSPIRACY!!!”

I bet they were not.

Question for all you 2A people, does that make everyone there more or less safe?
That people couldn't bring firearms into that room? Depends on the perceived threat of Vance for the remainder of his life, I suppose. If one could see the thread stretching out before most peoples' life, some might consider it worth snipping.
