@liquor_american @_L1vY_ With all these assassination attempts, I just can't help feeling that they're staged and at the same time wondering why they aren't successful.

@_L1vY_ you know, if you wanted to really disrupt that dinner, hide a Bluetooth speaker somewhere and have it blast gunshot sounds. No one actually gets hurt but the dinner doesn’t happen. Hmmmm …

@_L1vY_ @KevinMKruse I guess it's beside the point now, but I am deriving no small amount of schadenfreude from Marco Rubio's red carpet photo (USA Today, upthread). His eyes are dead sunken pits. He hates his life.

It's definitely really something to escape death and go back to finish the evening's festivities -
@PaulDitz It certainly does.
