A prominent Democratic US lawmaker & her husband have been killed in Minnesota, & another Democartic lawmaker & his wife shot. Melissa Hortman & husband Tim Walz were both killed. The other couple, John & Yvette Hoffman were both shot multiple times & are out of surgery. Both appear to be 'politically motivated assassinations.'

John Hoffman not Tim Walz was killed. Tim Walz was going to be our vice president except that Trump and Vance got in.
It's not the least charm of a theory that it is refutable. The hundred-times-refuted theory of "free will" owes its persistence to this charm alone; some one is always appearing who feels himself strong enough to refute it - Friedrich Nietzsche

No doubt these are those evil b'stards forcing children to continue with a pregnancy as a result of rape.
