Do you really not see how the way that those people talk about Trump shows the world that they are no better than him? Like him, they believe themselves to be intellectually and morally superior while showing they’re just like him. It’s very obvious. Before the typical Pea ASSumptions start, I’ll say I don’t support Trump or Biden. When someone speaks about Trump they are referring to a rapist, a man who consorted with porno stars and felt the need to pay hush money, has evaded paying taxes, often does not pay his debts, incites people to violence, once called Nazis very fine people, made phone calls to see if he could get someone to get him extra votes, falsely claims he won an election, admires Putin and wants to be just like him, has cheated on at least two of his wives, his third one can’t stand him any more. He has the bad habit of threatening people, mocks the disabled, throws toilet paper at hurricane victims encourages an act of sedition and fails to put a stop to it. I’m getting tired of typing because there is more, lots more, but my point is that the way those people are talking about him does not make them like him. NOT EVEN CLOSE. It wasn't rape and Biden is credibly accused of the very same thing. Before she came out with it, years after it supposedly happened, randomly- Trump's accuser claimed his TV show was her favorite show. How many people that are actually sexually assaulted love their assaulter's anything? He didn't evade, he used legal means to use the same tax advantages that those accusing him of evasion use. The same standards you're applying to Trump, have to also be applied to Biden. Nope. He never did that. That hoax has been debunked numerous times. At the very least, read Snopes. A recount. He was asking for a recount. Completely legal and well within his rights. Propaganda. Did she tell you that, or are you mind reading too? By telling people to go peacefully and asking for more National Guard to prevent what he's supposedly encouraging?🙄 |

Who is Vincent Fusca? Trying to make out these TT videos I see where he is being tRump and doesn't duck or anything. He just continues to stand. I noticed that of others too. They act weird before the shots and stand and look right at tRump. So odd.

And there it is.  I am in a lot of crafting groups on FB and I've already seen SVG files of this photo pop up, decals for sale, t shirts, hats, bumper stickers. Other acquaintances are full of posts about Trump being ok because "he wears the full armor of god". It's truly frightening. I have a lot of unfriending and unfollowing to do tonight. It’s a cult. |

 Thoughts and prayers? Is that what we say? Trump can at least pat himself on the back for helping to create a country where anyone who can fog a mirror can easily purchase the weapon used to attack him. |

“During my four years nothing [about gun control] happened. And there was great pressure on me having to do with guns. We did nothing. We didn’t yield,” Trump said at the NRA’s Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He called himself the “best friend gun owners have ever had in the White House.”
"Every single Biden attack on gun owners and manufacturers will be terminated my very first week back in office, perhaps my first day," he said at the event.

The White House..
”This evening, President Biden spoke to former President Trump.
Tonight, President Biden is returning to Washington DC. He will continue to receive regular updates from homeland security and law enforcement officials.”

Trump after a school shooting:
“We’re really with you as much as anybody can be. It’s a very terrible thing that happened,” he said Friday during a speech in Sioux City, Iowa. “And it’s just horrible to see that happening, it’s just horrible. So surprising to see it here. But, uh, have to get over it. We have to move forward, we have to move forward.”

Raising his fist definitely seems on brand for Trump. www.nytimes.com/live/2024/07/13/us/biden-trump-electionDonald J. Trump was back on his feet. He had just been shot at, his white shirt was undone and his red hat was no longer on his head. Blood streaked across his face as riflemen patrolled the perimeter of the stage. A pack of Secret Service agents pressed their bodies against his. “We’ve got to move, we’ve got to move,” one pleaded.
“Wait, wait, wait, wait,” the former president instructed, his voice a harried — but startlingly clear — command. Reluctantly, they halted. He peered out into the crowd.
And then his arm reached toward the sky, and he began punching the air.
The crowd started to chant — “U-S-A! U-S-A!” — as the agents inched Mr. Trump toward the stairs. When they reached the top step, they paused once more, so Mr. Trump could lift his arm a little higher, and pump his fist a little faster. The crowd roared a little louder.
It’s difficult to imagine a moment that more fully epitomizes Mr. Trump’s visceral connection with his supporters, and his mastery of the modern media age.
Mr. Trump would not leave the stage without signaling to his fans that he was OK — even as some were still wailing in fear. And he did not just wave or nod, he raised his fist in defiance above his bloodied face — making an image history will not forget.
He has always been highly conscious of how he looks in big moments, practicing his Clint Eastwood squint and preparing for his mean mug-shot grimace. But there was no time to prepare for this.
This was instinct.
As the agents coaxed him onto his feet, he stammered, “Let me get my shoes on, let me get my shoes on.”
“I got you, sir, I got you, sir,” an agent replied. Mr. Trump rose, his voice uneven at first, still repeating himself: “Let me get my shoes on.”
“Hold that on your head,” an agent told him, “it’s bloody.”
“Sir, we’ve got to move to the cars,” another said.
“Let me get my shoes on,” Mr. Trump said again.
Fierce one moment, he looked drained and stricken the next.
After the agents managed to hustle him off the stage, they led him toward an idling Chevrolet Suburban. He began to clamber inside, but before the door could close, he turned back toward the crowd again. His head appeared more blood-soaked than before. He raised his fist one more time. |

There have been several reports that TFG was struck by flying glass shards when the teleprompter was shattered by a bullet, although he posted that he was hit by a bullet.
They are showing a picture of a person in camouflage laying on a roof. I am not sure whether before or after being shot.

He must have been an illegal immigrant, right? Or a Drag Queen? He couldn't have possibly been a white male who was born in America. Do you think maybe this will make Republicans pretend to care about gun control now? For 5 minutes at least? God knows the 400+ school shootings haven't done the trick. |

There are many witnesses who say they saw a man climbing up onto the roof before the shooting. They notified the police. Why wasn’t anything done sooner? Why wasn’t the building secured earlier since it was only like 150’ feet away?
It will be interesting when all the facts are released.

Shooter was on a rooftop, 200-300 yards away on top of a building. The shooter was killed by Secret Service sniper. I thought secret service and local police were supposed to clear and keep clear rooftops that would have a line of sight to a protectee? |

Biden has gotten updates about Trump and every single Dem politician who has taken to SM has said this was outrageous and there's no cause for political violence ever, meanwhile this was one of the former guy's posts on SM in the last few months:  |

I haven’t read the thread yet and just saw this news late last night. I really does sicken me that someone can willingly shoot (at) someone no matter who it is. That being said I will say (kind of tongue in cheek) that I am going to take a MAGA supporter type attitude and give my conspiracy theory that this was set up by Trump and company to emboldened him and his candidacy, to take the heat off project 2025, and to try and blame it on the Democrats. This is prime conspiracy theory material.
It also makes me shake my head with all the Republican politicians’ responses of this was caused because of rhetoric from the left about how dangerous Trump is for another term and yet that is one of their main talking points, was what Jan 6th was, and it is the MAGA supporters who are talking about civil war and violence. I don’t get it.

I thought secret service and local police were supposed to clear and keep clear rooftops that would have a line of sight to a protectee? The building belongs to American Glass Institute and they are saying they worked with LE to clear and secure it. Supposedly, the shooter was seen shimming up the building once crowds were there. People were shouting and telling LE what he was doing, but it was too late. |
