If it's fair game to do this in Venezuela, it's fair game here in the US.

That's not really how power works

  • If that is you actual view of society, than you reject the concept of law itself. Just because people are able to act against the law (and get away with it) doesn't make law obsolete. In fact if they wouldn't act against it, there would be no reason to have a law.

And to be fair nearly happened in July 2024 as the last item of a long list of incident involving U.S. Presidents starting from Lincoln all the way up to the July 2024 episode and of course the last successful hit being JFK in 1963 and the last successful injury being the one suffered by Ronald Reagan

  • Isn't that the case though? Where's the separation of powers or the rule of law in the US?

    To be clear, I'm not favoring any kind of such action, just holding the honesty of the statement.

  • Socialism = tyranny? Wow. I guess you prefer the freedom of being bankrupted if you get injured, and getting taken by masked men from an unmarked van if you got some tan on your vacation, and then dropped to El Salvador.
