    I agree Biden was talking about the campaign but you misspelled “humans” with republicans. I’ve found that people in general love to play victim.

    Conservatives have really gone out of their way to assume an unearned mantle of victimhood, though. "They won't let us say 'Merry Christmas' anymore!" and that kind of ridiculous BS.

    I agree with you. When it's our side then it's a legitimate grievance. When it's the other side it is them playing the victim again. We go from advocating for sensitivity to being persecutors OR from dismissing to suddenly being the victim.

    Which side was it that started calling everyone else "snowflakes"?

    New body camera video released Thursday by Butler Township from the day a man attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump shows the moment police encountered the shooter before he opened fire on the Pennsylvania crowd and includes a police officer saying he warned the Secret Service about the building vulnerability.

    In one of the videos, a Butler Township officer is being hoisted onto the roof of a building near the July 13 rally, minutes before Trump was set to speak.

    The officer appears to peek his head over the roof before quickly dropping to the ground and running to a nearby police vehicle, the video shows. The shooter cannot be seen in this angle of bodycam video, and there is no audio.

    NBC News has previously reported that in that moment, the officer came face to face with the shooter, Thomas Crooks, who pointed his weapon at the officer, prompting the officer to hit the ground, according to Butler Township Manager Tom Knights.

    Later in the video, the officer appears to confirm the encounter, saying, "f------ this close, dude, he turned right around on me."
