compared psnbc vs fox coverage. PMSNBC coverage is doing everything they can to downplay

In the 80’s I worked on Capitol Hill. Most of the congressional offices had softball teams and we played against each other. It looks as though that has continued.

Did he have a special detail given his position.

Sounds like he may need a new hip.

This is just crazy.

CNN Management now in huddle on how to either ignore this event or represent shooter’s background in true fake news fashion.

Prayers to those involved, hope the perp was a poor shot (mostly made a lot of noise) and is currently approaching ambient temperature.

Things are getting warmer.

Expect this not to be in the news cycle.

If the bg's shot most of those fifty shots I'd speculate that "there's a very good chance" it's the work of gang-bangers.

You know, BLM, et al.

I think because Scalise is in a House leadership position, he has a Capitol Police security detail.

a dispute over playing time had members calling for the manager’s head earlier this year...The players were unhappy with Barton’s philosophy that everyone who has the courage to sign up should get to play under the lights. They are also miffed about Barton’s unusual strategy of employing separate lineups for fielding, batting and pinch running....“For those of us that never missed practice, and are supposedly the starters, to play one inning?” said one GOP member. “I busted my ass for the last two months. The whole ‘everybody gets a trophy’ model just pissed people off.”

Well there ya go....motive.

It’s headlined on MSN with link to video. Can’t be ignored.
