Dwarf, vanilla and I let the DFTs go, because I built a TF. The rogues and furies could cry their fucking eyes out. :P

The loss of institutional prestige in the SS has some downstream effects. Most notably, every crackpot in the country now knows (whether true or not) that the service is not protecting Trump, or is wildly incompetent. I would expect political assassination attempts in general to rise for a while, as nobody is scared of the talent on display from that particular agency. The myth of the secret service terminators stopped more guns than the actual service ever did.
Now? The first marginally competent goon to rock up is gonna have a field day, but apparently today is not that day.

Yeah I said the same thing in 1995.

Per Machiavelli, you should do your evil all at once, then blame the subordinate you had do it, execute him and after that be conciliatory.

after total victory.
That's the part you're eliding. After, it is possible. Before, it is not.

"If you do to us what we did to you, that would hurt Democracy, so be responsible and let us continue discriminating against you, because we're morally superior"
Yeah, that's a tough sell, bro.

A felony is a kind of serious crime.
Indeed, and yet I find the "crime" that Trump has been convicted of is not serious. It's not a felony. I don't think it's even a crime, except when combined with the horror of having won a national election as a non-Democrat.
Would you please explain which felony law Trump is supposed to have broken? And when exactly was he convicted of it?

The judge needed the public cover that the debate and the shooter provided, perhaps.

Assassination seems sort of anti-democratic too though. Maybe even moreso than peacefully relinquishing power on losing an election even if you think it wasn't fair.

It's disappointing and hypocritical, but it's a good thing that cancellation is no longer a leftist superweapon.
All is proceeding according to the prophecy.

Shooting from an elevation into a crowd, head hits are more likely.
Snipers aim for whatever's showing.

My dearest wife
I opened my eyes on the last day.
It was the only thing that came to mind.
You were awake before me, as usual.
Rolled to my left and saw the same thing
I've seen for a third of my life.
The back of your head, back-lit by your phone.
I shifted closer, draped my arm over yours,
and kissed your shoulder.
You grumbled something and shrugged the arm off.
So I lay there, three inches away,
and tried not to shake while I cried.
In a few minutes, our lives are going to change.
I'm never going to walk down this hallway again,
use this bathroom, or type on this computer.
You went down to make tea and I'm writing.
When the drinks are done, we need to talk.
The papers are filed, the process server will be along.
This is not my home any more.

neoreactionaries like hanson
lolwut.
Your evidence is a breitbart article that lumps a bunch of people into a vague category that didn't mean much back in 2016, and that category is not "neoreaction".
Says a lot more about you than it does Hanson, who isn't nearly interesting enough to aspire to neoreaction.
The very short version is online flirting lead to convention hookups lead to a short, abortive long distance relationship. I got the raid in the divorce, but the guild split over the drama and we had to form another.
