Release Barabbas! Release Barabbas! Seriously, is it any more clear that any pretense of good governance has been abandoned and it is all just turning into bread and circuses? I’d like to observe that while roughly 9% of presidents have been assassinated, about 40% of Roman emperors were, so this whole “bread and circuses” might not work as well as they think.
Don't get your hopes up, for some reason all of trumps would-be-assassins are completly inept to the level that one might suggest these attempts were staged.
100%, they're all like 16 year old idiots.
