Reactions to Trump Assassination Attempt
Biden made a statement to the nation tonight.
We will post reactions as they come in.
My feeling right now (10:15 p.m. Eastern):
It may be that the most obvious motivation for the attempted assassination of Trump was TDS based on domestic politics, but something about this doesn't seem right and maybe the most obvious is not correct. We'll know more when the shooter is identified. https://t.co/casAiblxeL

From March. Will find out if connected when we know who the shooter was. https://t.co/2xUzCsZF8N

Trump statement on Truth Social:
I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country. Nothing is known at this time about the shooter, who is now dead. I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening. GOD BLESS AMERICA!
TRUMP CAMPAIGN STATEMENT:
“President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.”

There is absolutely no place for political violence in our democracy. Although we don’t yet know exactly what happened, we should all be relieved that former President Trump wasn’t seriously hurt, and use this moment to recommit ourselves to civility and respect in our politics.…

“Now is the time for every American who loves our country to step back from the division, renounce all violence, and unite in prayer for President Trump and his family.”
Sorry, old man, that’s what you did. Look how well it worked.
Several days ago grifter Biden said, “It’s time to put Trump in a Bullseye.”
So the orders went out from the CFR and the White House.
“Let it be written, let it be done.”
“If you come for the king, you best not miss.”
In the same vein as the malicious lawfare got Trump even more votes, this too will gather him more votes.
Now do you believe there is a conspiracy to force the USA into the NWO? Joe wants that; Trump does not.
“Will no one rid me of this turbulent president?”
“Several days ago grifter Biden said, “It’s time to put Trump in a Bullseye.””
Biden’s mouth opens and his brains are no where to be found.
He say’s things off the cuff with not an iota of what comes out of it. Then you have nut cases who literally take it for what he actually says (when not of mush mouthing it) and makes it their mission to make it so. Then you get a day like today..and say ‘What the hell is happening?’
Imagine the response to a leader of a political movement in another country becomes an assassination target 16 days after after his political opponent has the worst day in the history of American politics
the left’s speculation machine would enter hyper drive
sorry, remove the ‘American”
Will no one rid me of this turbulent orange priest?
I wonder if those crowds of nuts illegally protesting certain SCOTUS justices will be broken up now?
It’s not illegal, so no.
Nice from RFKJr (he needs SS protection too) and Fetterman.
They are opponents, not enemies
“They are opponents, not enemies”
Well said!
In the 2000 Al Smith dinner, Bush used that line on Al Gore. A few words of praise about Gore being a hard worker, an opponent not an enemy, and “I can’t wish him success but I do wish him well.” Probably on YouTube somewhere.
Gore in return trashed Bush.
I would have expected no different from him.
The Biden Syndicate are enemies of all honest people. Can we start an impeachment now?
Would it make Trump safer? If so, sure, but I don’t see how it would. Otherwise, I’d rather run against the guy who “predicted” an assassination attempt with a firearm a few days ago.
Only Trump is the enemy… of Joe Biden and the left.
Biden dog whistles “TARGET ON TRUMP,” and Antifa / Gestapo go to work.
They are opponents, not enemies
They are enemies.
It is the rights failure to accept this that has brought us this low–to where they attempt to kill our president and all we do is talk.
Chinese guy? Bullet hit the teleprompter and glass then hit Trump?
Reaction? Tired of being called a Nazi!
I guess Biden had to wake up from his nap and eat his Jello while he is “coached” on looking “Proxydential.”

Here are the initial ‘reactions’ to the ‘incident’:
CNN – ‘Secret Service rushes Trump off stage after he falls at rally’
USATODAY – ‘Trump removed from stage by Secret Service after loud noises startles former President, crowd
NBC – ‘Secret Service Rushes Trump off stage after popping noises heard at his Pennsylvania rally
They are our ENEMIES, and people need to start acting accordingly.
There is NO POSSIBLE SCENARIO in which CNN legitimately thought that’s what happened.
Missed the cherry on top
Newsweek – ‘MAGA responds with outrage after Trump injured at Pennsylvania rally’.
Oh, yeah. Any physically violent blowback on this is going to be Trump’s fault.
I thought the cnn headline was actually a joke
The scum MSM. I was watching it live. It was obvious within 30 seconds that he had been nicked … hand to ear, about 8 gun fire sounds and, when he stood up, blood on ear and face. I wonder how the families of the dead person and the 2 critically injured feel about the “loud noises”.
I have set blocks for these media outlets, when that fails I kill the web page. There is no point in paying attention to them, other than to expose their nature.
AP – “gunfire breaks out at rally” Like it was a rap concert.
Just another day in ChiCongo.

This unhinged leftist is having a meltdown because the sh**ter missed Trump. These people are deranged.
LaVora Celeste Vincent is her name. She’s now deleted all of her social media accounts.
God bless the 19th Amendment.
Her TikTok intro says, “I’m sick of your hatred.”
Kill me with your kindness, honeychile.
At least one leftist created a precedent in first amendment law, for having much the same reaction to the attempt on Reagan. The Supreme Court ruled that she had the right to express her hope that the next attempt would be successful, and that her government employer had no right to fire her for it.
Can’t you find a fire to FOAD in, Mihouse?
“Leftists have a right to violently protest’ and Leftists have a right to be angry that their assassin failed’
You are vile.

This is just incredible, it will also be a mainstream narrative before the end of the week

@TimJGraham
Trump’s just been shot, and CBS anchor Margaret Brennan disparages him for not telling his followers to lower the temperature. Unbelievable.
My reaction was to donate $250 to the Trump Campaign, order a yard sign and a flag.
Might add a little extra firepower to the daily carry. This is fixin’ to get very real.
I’ve been (daily) carrying a basic load of 58 round (Walther PPQ 3×17 rd mags + 1 in the chamber) since the Antifa riots. I’m in the Olympia, WA area (in case you hadn’t noticed) and there are all manner of whack jobs around here. Went to situation orange with one two or three years ago and nearly drew on him for the threat he was presenting.
stormy daniels chimed in :
do I still have to pay him??
with interest
Chuckie Scummer:
if trump wins in 2024
we will impeach him for this shooting
or for surviving it.
The left didn’t do it any more than the right did it when it’s reversed.
It’s still free speech first.
What’s missing is mockery of the left’s evaluations of Trump, not censorship of metaphors.
What the hell are you talking about? Where is the parallel to Scalise, Kavanaugh, and this? False equivalence in the name of faux-intellectualism.
Gabby Giffords. Hateful rhetoric on the right was blamed, famously a target that I think Sarah Palin put out on democrat opponents in important states.
That was a true mental case, not politically motivated, even if the right was blamed. Those mentioned, not to mention others, were done for ideology.
Today is amid an environment awash with hate directed at Trump from all fronts. Playing the equivalence game is silly and does not stand scrutiny, and not astute despite the effort.
The Palin stuff was debunked long ago. Look it up rh.
A bullseye on a map that the shooter never saw
I can’t say for now what this shooter was influenced by specifically …
… but for sure (1)
Many Democrat leaders and influencers want him dead (exhibit A: the proposed legislation stripping him of secret service), (2) are familiar with stochastic violence and likely use their wording to try to inspire them, (3) DHS head mayorkas is trying to do the minimum to protect Biden’s opponents (the SS may not fully set the level of security provided, DHS is involved too)
When was it reversed?
Was falsely blamed. There had been no hateful rhetoric. There was a map identifying congressional districts that Republicans were hoping to win. They weren’t even marked by targets but by register marks that are standard on some mapping software. The shooter had no real political views at all — he was way too crazy to have them — but to whatever small extent he did have a political orientation it was more Democrat than anything else.
Really the Giffords shooting was not political violence at all. It was just a crazy person shooting someone famous. The target could just as easily have been a Republican.
Retarded comment.
Why don’t you just go back to Althouse and post this dreck there?
It’s in the Constitution, the rules that Americans agree to live by if they’re Americans. It’s the Muslims that say you can’t insult the prophet etc.
Any metaphor, any time. It’s subject to contrary metaphors, is all.
Completely irrelevant to the issue at hand.
Do better.
A metaphor doesn’t leave blood dripping down somebody’s face.
If anyone with a wide audience on a social media platform had said, “It’s time to put Biden in the bullseye,” that person would have received a visit from the Secret Service.
A polite visit, maybe, but no more than that. The Secret Service are well aware that they have every right to say that, so they would just be politely inquiring about whether the person had any plans to act on it. Even that is of dubious constitutionality, since it could have a chilling effect on such speech.
Pseudo-intellectual retard.
Why not an ignore button for lefty trolls and or dummies?
I’m considering a GiveSendGo for LI website enhancements to bring it into the 21st century,

rachal madcow:
I am sorry someone took a shot at trump……..
and missed
Pity the poor spin-meisters for Biden… having to take a Saturday on the job to formulate a concerned statement of relief. Now we are ALL to step back from this senseless violent rhetoric (after the constant drumbeat against Trump). When you are being run out of town look like you are leading a parade…. “I remember when Corn Pop tried to assassinate me at the pool when I was showing the little girls my hairy legs”.
Political violence is the lifeblood of the left.
There are reports that the Secret Service is telling the press to not refer to this as an assassination attempt
Did you see the interview with the witness who claims he tried to tell cops and secret service about the sniper for minutes before? It is unbelievable that the secret service left a handful of rootops near the venue out of their security perimeter.
not if they were ordered to
See my comment in another thread. The SS, like any other LEO, follow orders.
they were following Bidens orders ….
This stunning 4 minute BBC News video is “must watch”. WTF
That guy looks like Heat Miser.
Trump request for more Secret Service apparently refused.
Other political refusals: RFK? Jan. 6?
There’s a video of an LE sniper who was clearly observing the shooter before shots were fired. When firing does start, he startles. Considering he was making a huge target of himself with a very unprofessional, exposed position, he may have thought the fire was being directed at him.
There’s another video of an interview with a witness who was directing (or trying to direct) LE and SS personnel to the shooter’s position. Some of his statements strong infer that they were aware of the shooter’s general location and were attempting to spot him.
PA State Police are insisting Trump got hit with shards from a teleprompter screen despite clear video footage that shows the teleprompter screens intact as Trump’s Secret Service detail tackles him.
What was the shooter doing, making a trick shot? “Watch me bank this off the teleprompter and nick Trump’s ear.”
An emergency room doctor at Trump rally reveals how he performed CPR on a member of the crowd after the attempted assassination attempt shooting.
‘I heard the shots. I thought it was firecrackers begin with. Somebody over there was screaming ‘he’s been shot he’s been shot,” said the man who had blood splattered all over his white USA shirt. ‘So I made my way over. I said I’m an emergency department physician. Let me help you.’
‘The guy had spun around was jammed between the benches and a head shot here. There’s lots of blood and he had brain matter,’ he told CBS News
dmail
Does he have a fundraiser created, was he married, are there children?
watch as they try and bury info on the shooters.
I’m not ruling out deep state.
Social media sites usually get advance notice to scrub the accounts of the shooters
Reaction: Barack Obama in Columbia, Missouri, on Oct. 30, 2008: “We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America.”
Our nation needs to be praying in unison for our country.
Sadly, bullet proof glass and vests will be necessary for future events along with beefed up security.
Prayers for the victims and their families.
Trump campaign will have their own second set of security moving forward.
Comprised of guys who know how to spot bad actors.
Pres. Trump needs to hire some Israelis; they know how to spot terrorists etc.
read a few things saying antifa members were responsible
what a joke–they are strictly jv–what antifa may not realize ( if indeed they were responsible ) is they just painted a great big bullseye on themselves and their entire ” organization “–if they choose to ” protest ” in public now, they’d best be ready for a long tour in icu
prayers for the survivors–condolences to the victim(s)
Antifa are administration brownshirts.
If push comes to shove, they are disposable.
Part of a post I made on Breitbart:
If the shooter turns out to be Antifa, the next time Antifa takes to the streets, they need to be met with force, and I’m not talking about LE. When Kyle Rittenhouse took to the streets of Kenosha, the entire city let him down, because there should have been 5,000 armed Kenoshans on the streets with him. It’s time for a show of force.
I worked in a building where Jimmy Carter made a campaign appearance. The secret took the building apart for two weeks prior to his visit.
Today’s Secret Service makes the Rust armorer look like a pro.
Way pre-DEI.
I have gone to many Presidential speech’s amd was very close, outside, no checks, no one on the rooftops, it literally blew me away
And when I was inside working phones for a presidential campaign, not that long ago, I could go anywhere , back rooms , no one stopped me
Total clown show.
The SS used my office as HQ for a Nixon visit. They had people on all the rooftops nearby.
Third Amendment violation. This crap’s gotta stop.
Nope. It’s only a 3rd amendment violation if they commandeer the office, and if there is no state of war at the time. Politely requesting the use of the office is never a violation, and I can’t remember the last time the USA has not been officially at war with someone.
Error Ford not Nixon.
remember the Columbia hooker scandal and the drunken nights ramming the white house gates?
I have to agree; look how long it took them to get up there and cover Pres. Trump.
I mean, aren’t these the guys with the earpieces and dark glasses scrutinizing the crowd? And they left rooftops and that water tower uncovered?
I blame Mayorkas n part, for refusing to boost Pres. Trump’s security.
.I saw one comment that an amateur golfer could have hit the stage with a wedge shot from the shooter’s position. Every conceivable location out to 1,000 yards should have been noted and covered.
I can’t understand why they didn’t have a drone up in the air to surveil the rooftops outside their zone where the PA cops were supposed to cover. It makes no sense.
Tell me somehow in a way that could possibly make me believe you…
The shooter was 200 yards off in plain sight and the secret service was NOT surveilling that?
And they had attendees yelling and pointing?
FOR 3 MINUTES???
I am an Alaskan.
Born with a rifle in my hand.
At 7 years old, I was rabbit hunting without supervision.
And 200 yards with a .22 Long Rifle, is entirely possible. In fact, not even particularly hard.
I call B.S.
They allowed their shooter to act before they responded.
And this is supposed to be the best we have.
I don’t buy it.
200 yards off, on a rooftop…. and there are literally only like 5 buildings around the area for a mile.
Putting people on rooftops is day 1 basic stuff.
You don’t even have to put people on the rooftops – just fly a friggin drone over them. Costs almost nothing.
“And 200 yards with a .22 Long Rifle, is entirely possible. In fact, not even particularly hard.
I call B.S.”
They used Antifa. They needed a sniper, they hired a LARPer.
Yea a 22lr would have less than 4.5 inches drop at 200ft, a 22winmag would have less than 1 inch drop and it’s almost impossible to tell the difference between the sounds the round makes when fired
Sorry a 22lr at 200 yards would drop 30 inches. A22winmag would drop 17 inches at 200 yards
Recent reports show 130 yards.
He was probably shooting .223.
Of course its not hard. When I was in the Marine Corps, 200 yards was the SHORTEST distance you shot on the rifle range. And you shot it from standing/kneeling/sitting.
200 yards, 300 yards, 500 yards.
And that was with iron sights.
200 yards with a scope is a joke shot as long as the rifle is zeroed.
Give me a rifle with a 2x scope in the prone like this shooter was and I’d hit 100 out of 100 shots center mass.
There is ZERO EXCUSE that the SS allowed him to get that close long enough to fire multiple shots with a rifle.
He should be dead, and its a miracle that he isn’t even seriously injured.
They give 22LR to Marines now? That would be sporting of us. This was either a SS blunder or someone is on the DNC payroll. Way too close…
Being curious as a kid I tried a shot with a 22 at about 100 yds with iron sights at some yellow bird. Nailed it (and felt terrible). We are lucky (divinely) that Trump turned his head slightly. The turn may have been the reaction to the shot as the sound of the shot would come later.
Maybe the secret service chicks were having a hair and makeup emergency, so couldn’t respond to the repeated rifle warnings.
“Repeated rifle warnings?”
You didn’t see the witness interview. The local police and the secret service yawned at witnesses who were wildly warning of a man armed with a rifle who had crawled on the roof.
It was outside the Secret Services zone of protection. They guys told the PA cops and it just confused them. I doubt the report made it to the secret service before the bullets started flying.
No, I saw that. The ‘warnings” were out at the periphery, to PA cops. The chicks were at the central stage where apparently nobody knew nuthin.
Hit the ear. That’s a near miss from the temple, the soft spot in the skull the shooter may have tried to hit. With only a .22, they wanted an easy entry point.
A 22 LR doesn’t open up one’s skull at 200 yards. Brain doesn’t ooze out nor create as much blood as on that ER doc. I doubt the shooter was in any way experienced….fortunately. I bet an AR as that is the rifle du jour for the inexperienced. The Left is all about peace and good will having had a minion blow it. The New Republic and The New Yorker front covers speak the truth about what the Left was hoping for… and still do. As I have stated before…. the one person most at risk now is Biden …. but from HIS side of the fence. No use making useless scum anything more.
Using the “measure distance” feature on Google Maps, the rooftop to DJT distance was 135 yards.
RFK Jr. just babbled some of the dumbest crap ever on Newsmax. He tried to, somehow, place the responsibility for this on everyone – it’s because of “all” of us that this happened … not the America-hating, criminal, nihilist leftists who have been doing their best to destroy the country and bring pain and suffering to everyone who doesn’t embrace their insane leftist ideas of self-destruction and disaster.
Frankly, he sounds like a moron and is being disingenuous, at best.
As I’ve said for months, he’s a far left LUNATIC. He broke with them on basically only one key point – the vax – and that’s it.
True. He’s always been a commie. I remember when he was shilling for Hugo Chavez. But he is usually good for a decent debate. In this case, he was just totally off point and went out of his way to try to make it an “all of us” thing rather than the obvious leftist thing this clearly is. He was given a lot of leeway, given the present events and the circumstances of his history.
He sounds like he gargles Drano.
He has one issue that’s important recently, that he’s right about. The vax, and Covid generally. That’s his main issue, and he’s done a service by forcing some facts into the public. That doesn’t mean he’s good on the other 90% of what’s important.
No tactical shields, not SS on rooftops, ignore citizen alerting SS of guan and let Trump stay on stage
5’3 women SS
I’d say inside job shooting a 22 from over 200 feet, not an easy thing to do

Fuck Brandon. Fuck Obama. Fuck Democrats.
Then what?
Shower repeatedly.
Pray for a Monkeypox vaccine.
Fuck anyone who says now is a time to “come together” or that we all share blame for this.
It is not a time to come together. It is time to demand radical transparency and not let any conspiracies get covered up. And anyone saying “go slow” becomes a suspect themselves.
It’s often difficult to fully appreciate the historic gravity of any unfolding moment. But, that AP photo (first one above) will undoubtedly go down in history as one of the most politically impactful photos in the Republic’s history. Easily top-10, arguably top-5 photo of all-time.
The poses echo Iwo Jima in at least four particulars, maybe more.
Yeah, the Mount Suribachi is easily the most memorable photo of the WWII (MHO), perhaps only eclipsed by one or two moon landing photos as the most impactful photo of the 20th century.. This photo is definitely Mount Suribachi-esque. To get this photo, in frame and focus, in that chaotic moment is simply amazing.
Absolutely agree – top-5, iconic. Note that FOX quoted former AG Bill Barr as saying this has to stop and that Trump is not a danger to Democracy. There are no dead Democrats. This is all on them.
It also blows out of the water the “false flag” theory unhinged leftists (but I repeat myself) are trying to peddle. AP is not exactly a MAGA outlet.
I had three immediate thoughts (as I first saw the photo the moment I became aware of the situation):
The shooter just made Trump the next president.
The photographer will win a Pulitzer.
The Dems will blame Trump for the violence.
This is America now
Toothpaste behind locker cabinets
Millions of homeless addicts shitting in our streets
Millions of illegals robbing and murdering American citizens
And political opponents jailed and murdered
This is very clearly the result of the left’s rhetoric and propaganda.
Ya think, Danny? Don’t worry though. You and the GOPe will show ’em who’s boss.
Or maybe a direct assassination scheme.
The left has been hunting down and murdering conservative leaders all over the world
Abe, Japan,

He needs to bring in Eric Princes Security company, the guy who ran Blackwater and is a former Navy Seal! He can provide 50 former Navy Seal, Delta Force and Green Beret personnel to help with President Trumps security!!! 🤔
Trump had private security at the WH when he was in office. But it’s easier to protect that one place and the limited and controlled public appearances on official business, than to keep up with a campaign.

Leftists HATE US and want us dead. It’s long past time pretending that it’s just some ‘extreme fringe’ at work.
They ALL want us dead rather than give up power.
One silver lining is that this shuts up all the “high road” right wingers who whine, “don’t be the first to fire at Fort Sumter, that’s what the left wants.” Well, the first shot’s been fired — it’s time we gave the left what they think they want.
That piece of shit obama has gall. “When they bring a knife, we bring a gun!”
Vile Obama calls for “civility,” that totally hypocritical POS.
To hell with every single Dhimmi-crat and their hollow words. These bastards have spent the past eight years ceaselessly vilifying and demonizing President Trump and conservatives.
Frankly it makes him a suspect.
Libs oif TikTok is having a field day reporting crazies screaming that he missed. Like shooting fish in a barrel.
Good comment from elsewhere:
Trump will have the perfect comeback now: put the ROCKY music with bloody Trump pumping his fist! I was not a Trump fan but now I am. That was major spunk!
Also, Elon Musk: “Last time America had a candidate this tough was Theodore Roosevelt.”
It looked as if almost half of Trump’s main SS detail are women. I’m sure they are great ladies and all but women have NO BUSINESS playing as main secret service bodyguards. They are not equipped for that job and cannot do any of the duties, really. I think part of the reason why Trump wasn’t carried off the stage immediately (which is protocol, I think) is because women cannot carry enough weight. You could see the one chick who tries to join the protective shell around Trump when he stands up and she is a foot shorter than the guys and a quarter less wide. It isn’t her fault but it’s just a joke that they try to put her in there. Like having a 28 gauge link in a 12 gauge chain. It’s pathetic and stupid. Women have no business playing at being frontline secret service officers. Crazy.
I found her courageous. I understand what you are saying. But I found her courageous.
I don’t doubt her courage. And I don’t doubt her desire and work-ethic. I assume they are all exemplary … but she is just not physically suited for the position. No woman is.
Well there may be a few but they are probably not MAGA types if you follow my drift.
It’s not about her. It’s about the mission, in this case to protect the person they are assigned to.
Courageous doesn’t stop a bullet.
After they got Trump in the vehicle it was guarded by three little women. Ridiculous.
This attack is a result of demonrat rhetoric over the last 8 years against President Trump. Ask Steve Scalise about how rhetoric impacts Republicans. Demonrats can try and run for cover, but they can’t hide. They have the blood of Trump and the two people shot at his rally on their hands. FJB
The MSM and Democrats stepped up the assassination rhetoric for years. Even MS shows like The View. This gives a license to nuts…..but much more important, but less obvious, to the Deep State. Creatures like Garland, Wray, Myorkas, Burns….can release the demons in society. Leave them alone when they arm. Play them like they did with the Whitmere Plot……
https://i.imgflip.com/8wxfy8.jpg
The secret service is hiding from this press conference.
Pathetic.
Biden – “Time to put Trump in the bullseye.”
They tried to remove Trump from office for telling his supporters to go and “protest peacefully.” Are Republicans going to file articles of impeachment against Biden for encouraging an assassination attempt against a political rival?
“Are Republicans going to file articles of impeachment against Biden for encouraging an assassination attempt against a political rival?” Why not? Imagine what the Left would do to conservatives if the tables were turned.
When Donald Trump is inaugurated on January 20, 2025, he should ride into Washington, DC on a beautiful white horse named Vengeance.
Haha! Good one, DaveG!
The media coverage on the left is contemptibly and predictably dishonest and farcical. “Trump falls at podium.” “Secret Service Removes Trump from Stage.” Etc. All typically dishonest attempts to minimize, obfuscate and obscure the Dhimmi-crats’ undeniable culpability in fomenting and enabling this assassination attempt, via their eight-plus years of ceaseless, vicious and malicious vilification of President Trump and conservatives, at-large.

A “tweet” issued by that vile POS, Obama, reflects his typical, brazen and nauseatingly sanctimonious and hypocritical character. The malignant narcissist and dunce lectures Americans to practice “civility,” after personally ushering in non-stop, 24/7 vilification of, demonization of and political targeting of President Trump, and, conservatives at-large, and, after having subverted our democratic process by engaging in lawless dirty tricks unprecedented in our nation’s history.
Apologies for the duplicate sentiments, here. I am furious.
No apology necessary. It can’t be said often enough what a POS is Obama. It still aggravates me that this commie who hates America and its people so much was elected POTUS twice.
It’s infuriating, without a doubt.
An attempted assassination of a former US President on the campaign trail is now on the ballot. What happened last night in Butler, Pennsylvania has God-fearing, law-abiding Americans feeling what they haven’t felt since 911. A lot of people are angry at what the Left has done in total to try to destroy Trump over the past eight years.
The progressive Left began with criticism, then you went to protest, then you went to impeachment, twice, and then they quickly moved to four separate indictments and none of them worked. Yesterday, they took the bold step of an assassination attempt. These people are evil.
I will crawl over broken glass to vote for Trump.
Exactly! The man has just reached immortal status, like Washington in battle. He will be even more fervent and direct, and we will support him. Anyone voting D for President is complicit in the demise of America and should be soundly marginalized (a polite manner in which to say what I am thinking).
Yes, preach it. I’m donating as much money as I can spare. Others are, too.
If President Trump had NOT turned his head to the right to look at and discuss the “number of illegal aliens” graph, the shot that hit his right ear would have blown the back of his head off.

One could interpret this as divine intervention. Minutes before the debate I was certainly praying for befuddlement of speech and revelation of truth
President Trump really beat something like 100,000 to 1 odds, tonight. He had jut turned his head to the exact angle that the bullet was able to only graze him. With his head moved a tenth of a degree either way and the bullet would have gone right into his head. This was really sort of miraculous that he escaped this attempt.
There is no excuse for the secret service not to have had that roof covered – either actively watched or just one person friggin standing on it. This is not a mistake. A security detail would pretty much have to go out of its way to ignore that roof. Or completely incompetent people would have to have been intentionally put in charge.
There is no question this comes from Traitor Joe and his junta, one way or another. The same way they encouraged people to do the same to the SCOTUS justices (that assassination only not happening because the guy changed his mind at the last moment). But Traitor Joe and his junta made sure that any would-be assassin had easy access to the conservative SCOTUS justice of his choice.
Well, they do work for the government. Inefficiency and incompetence are in the job description.
If the assassin was hired by Iranians who snuck into the country across the southern border, you can be sure that you’ll never hear confirmation of that from the government.
It would be an indictment against all of their programs, in the same way the Nashville shooter’s manifesto was.
Now that the information is coming out, it is clear this was a fetal mission failure of the SS.
so we’re going to play for the ultimate stakes–no more ” go along to get along ” ehtos ( of course that school of thought began its demise in 2008)
third world stuff indeed–for those of us doing any planning at all, this was the first milestone–the next, early november and after that, early january next year–a ” peaceful transition of power? “–less than six months away
” go along to get along ” ETHOS
mea culpa
I think we can now safely say the communists don’t think they can win the election anymore.
If they didn’t think so before, they surely do now.
