Trump is shot!

[manitou1]

I thought the same thing. I'm guessing the level of security between former and current presidents are not the same.

Apparently Mayorkas has ignored requests for better/more security according to some outlets.

What was funny about this?

You can bet security just at least doubled from now on. If True about a rooftop shooter this is incompetence on a level so high it's unbelievable.

Especially since they were covering with drones and the shooter was wide open laying on a white roof top only 8-10' off the ground.

This confirmed? News source?

I am pretty sure Trump responded a lot better to being shot, or shot at, than I would have. But I blame that on my back problem (big yellow streak).

The motive was someone wanted Trump dead badly enough to die to make it happen.
All those flags and they still didn't get the windage dope right.

I mourn for the person killed and pray for the one injured.
That's as far as I'm dipping my toe into this downward spiral of a thread.

In before the lock.

I'd bet a crisp twenty that a campaign staffer wrote that. He goes all caps at the drop of a hat, this is pretty coherent

Wrong, it's bullshit to make a statement like that when nobody knows what the motives were. It's divisive and it doesn't matter if it was Trump or Biden in the line of fire.

Clear insanity and no place to point fingers...period.

Former President Obama released his own statement prior to Biden, saying, "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," he said. "Michelle and I are wishing him a quick recovery."

This very level of incompetence is truly unimaginable. Cue the conspiracy theories (I hate term, maybe better is "curious speculative discussion").

I meant his demeanor in the photos. I don’t know what was written.

He had an attitude of invincibility, whereas I would have been ducked down behind that podium before the Secret Service had a chance to react.

Oh sorry, someone earlier showed his truth social post and I had assumed you were talking about that.

I'm off the internet for the rest of the day. You can bet that every foreign government bot account is going to be working overtime trying to manipulate emotions one way or another. Doesn't matter if you like him or hate him, all fair game to the bots. I'm going to go water the lawn.

I don’t believe RFK has security yet.

Yes, photos on Fox. Not yet on the interweb that I can find.

You have trouble with that concept? In addition to being frozen out of the Dem primaries and the debate, just another little tweak to discourage him from running. Those in charge are very desperate in their desire to maintain that power.

The last couple of weeks have been surreal...

Are you surprised? I can guess at your answer, even though I only know you over HT. Being more rational and in the middle sucks. Most of us don’t like where this is pointing. But we all reap what we sow.

That's the right response and doesn't surprise me.

The tolerant left…..

 

[ismith]

Just an fyi, polarizing and dividing the country with your nonsense is foolish and unwelcome.

 

[Nick87]

Well this is certainly a step, no leap in the wrong direction for our entire country. Talk about throwing gas on a dumpster fire. Just when I thought we couldn't drive Americans further apart. Nothing surprises me anymore.
