    In the immediate aftermath of the shooting, Goyim Defense League founder and leader Jon Minadeo hosted a Spaces on X titled “JEWS TRY TO ASSASSINATE TRUMP!”

    There are idiots on both sides (obviously someone just shot Trump,  there was also a shooting of Republicans playing baseball a few years back...).  But most are telling people to stay calm and not let your anger cause you to do something stupid and to be on the lookout for others who may try to instigate and cause more violence.

    The person that should be telling people to stay calm and not let their anger make them do something stupid is Donald J Trump. But he won’t instead he will tell them things that will make them boil over with anger.

    Maybe not, maybe he's on painkillers, or maybe it's a tactic to change his image to get votes or protect his physical safety, or maybe this changed him. We shall see.

    I would be willing to bet that any change will be temporary.  His speeches will now play up his victimhood even more.  He will take no responsibility for anything he's said in the past to encourage this violent behavior in his base.

    He escaped death because God has chosen him to lead the American people back to righteousness. That sound about right.

    Um, yes - that's probably what his evangelicals want to hear.

    Have any of the Dems taken responsibility for their past speak that encouraged violence to their base?

    Surely you aren't comparing what Trump has said to anything the Dems have said.

    You are right they are not comparable....the Dem politicians, media and celebrities have said much worse than Trump. This post was edited by my2cents at July 15, 2024 11:46 AM MDT

    Know what that's called?  Selective hearing.

    Only because they tell the truth. Trump lies.

    When did Trump threaten anyone? 

    Direct people to threaten others by making group and let them know they are not welcome?  Tell people they thought about blowing up the White House? Tell people to take to the streets?  That there is not peace and there should not be?  Say they would like to punch someone?  Say he would like to take someone behind the gym at school and beat him?  Ask when was the last time an actor shot a President?  Tell a sitting SCOTUS you will answer for this? Tell you
    "leftists" (Trumpers) you have been warned?  When they go low, we kick them? Showed a video faking a assassination? Said I would take him out tonight?  etc

    But sure Trump was worse...

    Just say the Dems/leftist media and celebrities did everything I listed then....

    The only one Trump threatened was to deport illegals and send criminals to jail....

    Maybe the near death experience helped him find Jesus and he is going to start volunteering at soup kitchens. But I doubt it – I think his idea of re writing the speech was adding some descriptive words when he talked about Biden and the democrats – words like murderous or assassins. I also think Trump’s idea of uniting the country is to bring everybody over to the dark side. Cheers!

    We will see what we are told at the RNC this week but no we have not been told anything to boil over our anger. We have seen him thank the SS and Law Enforcement, thanks the nation for their prayers, offer support for the other victims of the shooting, and calls for unity..... 

    We will see if the Dems tone down their rhetoric or not (I will be surprised if they do) and from some posts I have seen on some sites I doubt it.

    I'm numb to anything having to do with Dumb Furher. He's only got himself to blame for this.

    Not at all, especially him being shot at by a Republican.

    A registered Republican is a registered Republican. You don’t get to judge.

    As I said on another thread, if I still lived in my home state of IL (or any other blue state like NY), I would be a registered Democrat...so I could vote against the most liberal Dems in the primaries, because my vote would not matter in the general. AND I am not a Dem by any means. This post was edited by my2cents at July 17, 2024 9:05 AM MDT

    I gave this question a lot of thought and I now think the only person in the whole wide world that was surprised was Donald J Trump. At his Jan. 6th rally Trump demanded that the metal detectors be shut down so everybody could get in to cheer him on. And he figured nobody was there to hurt him because everybody loved him so dearly. So I figure when the bullets started flying Trump was quite surprised. For all we know Trump could be responsible for the possible security problem. Like maybe he didn’t want so many security agents because they got in the photo shots or he didn’t want agents on the roofs because it made him look bad (someone might not like him) or people would be watching the guys on the roof instead of him. Cheers!

    Security for Presidents and Former Presidents is the Secret Service and the Sec Mayorkas.   

    If Trump did not want agents on the roof, why were there 2 teams on snipers on the roofs behind him?  
    SS failed....we do not know why.  Incompetent or something worse.   The USSS boss said they did not want to put agents on a sloped roof....it was a pole barn....they have like a 1:12 pitch.  They seen this guy 26 min before the shooting  and no one confronted him....it stink to high heaven.  And people need to be held responsible.
