If anyone is watching Fox, Trump was giving a speech and had just told his people to stop the teleprompter and that he didn't need it. He was complimenting his staff when it sounded like shots fired out. I think four or five at least. Trump was put on the ground by Secret Service. When he was helped up. it appeared he was bleeding from or above his right ear. It is being observed that there was something that happened just in front of the podium. Most people are shaken and confused. They just played the moment when the shooting sounds started. Trump grabs for his ear as he is falling. IMO, this is what you get when you say that someone represents the end of democracy for our country. Most people are shaken and confused. They wer already confused before the shooting. being estremist right wing will do that for ya! Aren't you some kind of class act? WHAT kind is the question

I’m not going to lie, I was relieved to hear it was a 20 year old, basement dwelling loser with a very English sounding name. I was hoping lie hel it wasn’t something that would kick a hornets nest, like an Eastern European name, Russian, Hispanic, Muslim, etc.
Had it been something like “Vladimir” or “Muhammad,” it would have felt like the Archduke Franz Ferdinand domino. However, we’re not out of the water yet.
I get the sense this was a lone wolf, but he could have been preyed upon and that’s the next step. Find the motivation. Was it a similar situation to Jack Teixeira, who was too stupid to not react to other losers on a Discord Server? Was there evidence of a Russian Troll Farm encouraging chaos or extremism? Or was this douchebag just another one of these virgin, depressed, and hopeless losers whose minds are so malleable that they can be easily manipulated by radicalism to take action to ’save the world’
This age group and this particular era is ripe for radical actions. You can be easily convinced by any number of sources to target individuals or full groups of people. Whether it’s the elites is society, races like Asians, Latins, Black, White, or religious groups like the Jews, Christian’s, or Muslim, whatever… even sexual orientation and the Science Community is a target…
The youth are too easily manipulated by siloed, piss-poor, and reckless media that is so pervasive in society. This means trust in the institutions is almost nonexistent. For fuck sake, an NBA player had such a large platform over science that he convince people to question the science behind the Earth being spherical. Comedians are now more reliable sources of political fodder than actual political analysts. Doctors are now viewed to be less credible than a Google search. And HR Departments are controlling how we interact.
Shit is out of wack and it’s not all that hard to see why. I don’t see it getting better. As a society, we literally dodged a bullet, but it’s only the start of a trend

WHAT kind is the question The extreme rhetoric needs to stop. So tired of people saying it doesn't matter. Both extremes do it. Own it and correct it. Trump would be dead if he hadn't turned his head. Thank god he did.

It's always someone else's fault

Provide any evidence that he called for violence. ______________ Here is what we do have. Democratic politicians have been calling Trump "Hitler." They have been calling him "evil." They have stated many times that he will end Democracy in America and become a dictator. We have Biden saying that they need to put a "bullseye" on Trump. You have all kinds of leftist media making suggestions that Trump needs to be harmed. Reference the View. Do you really want to compare the rhetoric of the Democratic nominees Trump has faced with the latter’s inflammatory diatribes? There is no comparison. Trump’s rhetoric is far worse, far more toxic, far more provocative than any I have witnessed in my lifetime, and I was born during the Truman administration. That said, it goes without saying that nothing justifies this contemptible and cowardly assassination attempt. Thank God Trump survived and condolences to the family of the deceased individual and those who were injured. This post from the Biden regime is okay with you? Or Joe's Bullseye statement I posted earlier? All of this is rhetoric that has constantly reverberated through the political airwaves well after January 6th (which the Supreme Court's ruling has just downgraded from an insurrection to trespassing). The comments of many on the MSM and leftist calling Trump a threat to Democracy, the end of Democracy as we know it, a Dictator, just like Hitler, etc, have been going on for years. People have been predicting that if the left couldn't ban Trump from the ballot (they tried), have him removed as candidate by indicting him, or imprison him, then they'd assassinate him. Thank God that Trump survived. I'll give more credit for his survival to Devine Intervention than the Secret Service... Edit: The Bezos Washington Post on the day of the Assassination Attempt

The shooter is said to have been a "member of the Republican Party." The left is running with this. However, he has only voted in one local election, has worked for Democratic candidates, and has given one political donation to a Democrat. Isn't it ironic how these leftists seemed to ignore that part of the statement released by the police?
I heard one witness say that there were over 20 police and SS in the field beyond the fence. He asked an important question. How could they miss the guy who stood out on the roof of that building?

He asked an important question. How could they miss the guy who stood out on the roof of that building? He gave cash donations to Act Blue. As far as Ironic that leftists ignore inconvenient facts, it's simply because it doesn't fit the narrative they want to share/promote. I've heard a witness being interviewed that they saw the man crawling on the roof with a rifle, and told both police and secret service over three minutes in advance of the shooter. I've posted video of the Secret Service snipers who watched the man and did nothing until after he fired several shots. My question is how in this modern age does the Secret Service not have all the roofs around the event secure? How could anyone be allowed on the roof to begin with? While I was born after JFK's assassination, since I've been born Malcom X, MLK, and RFK all assassinated. I've seen two assassination attempts on President Ford and Reagan almost killed. I was under the impression that the Secret Service had radically tightened security, especially since 9/11. Sadly, the Secret Service has many issues. People need to be fired and there should be a Congressional investigation as to how this could happen. I'll also add that RFK, Jr. needs to be given full secret service protection. Why the Biden regime denies it is inexcusable.

You need to get out more if you think trumps rhetoric has been more inflammatory than Democrats. One example, governor whitmer did an interview with a 86 45 sticker in the back ground. Let's not forget for the past 9 years we've heard nothing but it's ok to punch Nazis from the left and by the way conservatives are Nazis. How many publications have compared trump to Hitler. They're lucky trump wasn't killed. The riots of the right would make the saint Floyd riots look like small little parties.

I'm not sure that you'd have riots and burning like BLM/Antifa did -- conservatives would have to go to work on Monday. As far as the hypocrisy on the left, you're correct. I didn't know about the "86 45" Trump with Gov Gretchen Lockdown. Also notice the hypocrisy of Bennie Thompson, who got an appropriate reader correction...

Thank God that Trump survived. I'll give more credit for his survival to Devine Intervention than the Secret Service... Edit: The Bezos Washington Post on the day of the Assassination Attempt Do you honestly believe Donald Trump hasn’t been directly responsible for an elevation of the temperature of political rhetoric over the past eight years? For heaven’s sake, just read his ROT IN HELL! Christmas message. His “ HUMAN SCUM” Memorial Day tweet. His THUGS responsible for inflation, Afghanistan surrender, Green New Deal, etc. Mothers Day tweet, and hundreds of similar ones posted almost daily. Has the media gone overboard? You bet. Has it occurred across the spectrum? Absolutely. (Steve Bannon says Fauci and Christopher Wray should be decapitated and their heads put on pikes. Nice.) Personally, I think Biden, Democrats and the left leaning media overdo the “threat to democracy” narrative. But Trump did say he would be a dictator at least for one day, so that along with his obvious admiration for “strong man” leaders like Orban, and his post 2020 election resistance to surrendering power create an exploitable campaign issue. Finally, I’ll remind you as I did str8shooter, it was Trump who on Jan 6 spoke of the need to “save democracy” and prevent “the destruction of the country” by stopping Biden’s attempt to steal the election. Hopefully, last night’s horror and the terribly close call on Trump’s life will be sobering for both sides, an inflection point after which we can engage, debate and contest our differences and aspirations with more civility and maturity. We are not enemies. At least we shouldn’t be.
