It really isn't unbelievable. A mentally ill man was radicalized by right wing propaganda and went to a lawmaker's home to harm her. Her security wasn't there because she wasn't there. End of story.

You're looking for conspiracy where there is none. There is nothing "suspicious" unless you're trying to deflect blame.

Instead of waking Paul up and asking for Nancy so he could attack her, suppose he had planted listening devices, or explosive devices, and crept away unnoticed? But you're telling me it's perfectly reasonable to leave the home unguarded when the third in line for the presidency is away. Doesn't that seem like a horrible national security vulnerability?

It could possibly be true, but please, be honest enough to agree that it sounds unlikely.

It appears going forward, thanks to MAGA republicans, that all members of congress and their families will need security.

Yes, I agree. Those MAGA republicans who are Bay Area nudity activists, living in homes with BLM stickers, LGBT Pride flags, anti-capitalism bumper stickers, and “Berkeley Stands United Against Hate" signs in the windows are very dangerous, and there's no telling who they'll attack next.
