No, practice at something like 6:30 or 7 AM Eastern time.

The two things I learned from this incident was that (1) there are congressional baseball teams and (2) they'll actually get up and go to practice at daylight.

Maybe it is just me, but I found both of those are more shocking that some loon shooting at them.

Not really. Republicans are used to getting up and going to work in the morning.

Oh yay. Can't wait for the rhetoric that because he's a Bernie supporter that we're all running around wanting to shoot up GOP congressmen.

bernie supports are just a cult. A weird, disturbing, and as of the last few months, a dangerous cult.

The fact that I can change Bernie to Trump and it's even more accurate should tell you a few things about the politics in our country right now.

trump was a legit presidential nominee, Bernie never was. So no.

Bernie supporters remind me of jehovah's witnesses, just weird people that have weird idea's. And kinda scary.

Nah, we're not a cult anymore than those on the other side of the aisle who wanted change in this last election too. Blaming Bernie Sanders and supporters for this would be like me blaming Sarah Palin and the GOP when Gabby Giffords was shot. It's utterly ridiculous.

Your response right here is part of the problem with politics and political rhetoric today. We no longer have respect for differing opinions and ideologies. We're quick to point the finger instead of taking a long look in the mirror as to how we got here to begin with.

I'm not sure why you're laughing. No one wants to read some circle jerk about the party affiliation of the shooter when we have Congressman being openly shot at by some crazy motherfricker on our own soil.

actually, a lot of people are curious to know whether the person was a republican or democrat, Muslim or christian, black or white. You can act like you dont care because someone got shot, but in reality they have already said who has been shot and that everyone will survive.

Bernie would have been if the DNC hadn't manipulated its own primary.

I never said I didn't care.

But I'm not going to run around blaming Bernie fricking Sanders because some crazy decided to open fire on Congressmen. Last I checked, mental instability isn't exclusive to a political party affiliation.
