re: #146 Hecuba’s daughter

Cheney, while VP, shot a friend and the friend apologized, so this GOP policy predates Trump.

There’s a bit more to that story than meets the eye — the shooting party was walking up grouse, advancing in line abreast with no-one supposed to get in front of the others for safety reasons. The person that was shot broke that rule and got in front of the line as VP Cheney fired at a grouse that broke cover. It was in fact his fault he got shot and VP Cheney was in fact blameless in that regard.
