Who would have a problem with that with someone aiming their gun at a shooter who is ready to fire?

Then almost all politicians come off as plastic since the 1940's, Winston Churchill always spoke from note cards, so he had no thoughts on his own?

So what?

Did Trump golf today or are reports of that on Twitter that I see fake news?

Republicans can register their kids to vote when they turn 18? Didn't know that. He had some issue with Trump, obviously, but that doesn't make him Anti-Maga, Anti-Republican, or an Anti-Trumper. Maybe he was just crazy and wanted to shot someone famous...we still don't know his motivation.

She was in drug rehab. It may some fantasy she imagined when she was in detox (or whatever).

I posted that in the wrong thread and deleted it, but if you want to keep your comment up, that's OK.

Law enforcement officials were working Sunday to learn more about Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania, to determine what motivated him to open fire on the rally from a nearby rooftop, killing one spectator, before he was shot dead by the Secret Service. The FBI said Sunday it has not yet identified any underlying ideology or threatening writing or social media posts from Crooks, who graduated from high school two years ago and had no past criminal cases against him, according to public court records. The FBI believes he acted alone. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said on social media the upper part of his right ear was pierced in the shooting. Two spectators were critically injured, authorities said. The man killed was Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief from the area who Pennsylvania’s governor says died a “hero” by diving onto his family to protect them. Relatives of Crooks didn’t immediately respond to messages from The Associated Press. His father, Matthew Crooks, told CNN late Saturday that he was trying to figure out “what the hell is going on” but wouldn’t speak about his son until after he talked to law enforcement. An FBI official told reporters that Crooks’ family is cooperating with investigators. Crooks graduated from Bethel Park High School in 2022. In a video of the school’s graduation ceremony posted online, Crooks can be seen crossing the stage to receive his diploma, appearing slight of build and wearing glasses. The school district said it will cooperate fully with investigators. His senior year, Crooks was among several students given an award for math and science, according to a Tribune-Review story at the time. Jason Kohler, who said he attended the same high school but did not share any classes with Crooks, said Crooks was bullied at school and sat alone at lunch time. Other students mocked him for the way he dressed, such as hunting outfits, Kohler said. “He was bullied almost every day,” Kohler told reporters. “He was just a outcast, and you know how kids are nowadays.” Crooks worked at a nursing home as a dietary aide, a job that generally involves food preparation. Marcie Grimm, the administrator of Bethel Park Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation, said in a statement she was “shocked and saddened to learn of his involvement.” Grimm added that Crooks had a clean background check when he was hired. Crooks’ political leanings were not immediately clear. Records show Crooks was registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania, but federal campaign finance reports also show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on Jan. 20, 2021, the day President Joe Biden was sworn into office.

Not really, although what would Hunter have to tell-all about that we haven't already heard? And people would probably not be rushing out to buy a book by Ashley either after the dubious and unverified claims in her diary.

Maybe because no one on the left here is that crazy to believe anything so absurd. I did however post a link to a Twitter hashtag of people who actually believe that.

From the Twitters: If you believe God intervened to save former President Trump, but didn’t intervene to save the kids in Uvalde or Parkland or Santa Fe or Sandy Hook, then you are worshipping partisan politics, not Jesus.

No, you don't know that.

Indeed, there were never any assassination attempts on politicians before Joe Biden was POTUS...oh, wait...

I don't follow the logic how an attempted assassination by a registered Republican is going to help Trump at all.

If there is I haven't seen any indication of it. Seeing what it allowed here I haven't reported anyone or anything as it would obviously be pointless.

https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1812507373539307729 NBC News: Two senior law enforcement officials briefed on the investigation into the weapon used by Thomas Matthew Crooks say investigators are looking into whether the gun used by the shooter belonged to the shooter's father and had been purchased legally.

Yeah, some people are saying that and Fake News is trending on Twitter. But few on the left are taking this seriously. https://x.com/search?q="Fake News"&src=trend_click&vertical=trends

From the Twitters: July 2: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless, if the left allows it to be." - Kevin Roberts of the Heritage Foundation July 13: A registered Republican attempts to assassinate the Republican presidential candidate.

I was saying the same thing, that we knew absolutely nothing about the shooter or his motives and to wait until we had some actual facts before we started pointing fingers and attributing blame.

Not true: https://x.com/kylegriffin1/status/1812458480676081960 Secret Service goes on the record saying it's not true that the Trump team requested addition security recently and was denied. Spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi: "In fact, we added protective resources & technology & capabilities as part of the increased campaign travel tempo."

Any proof that his social media has been scrubbed or is that just unfounded speculation?

Probably several of the usual suspects who posted here yesterday did. From the Twitters: So! It wasn’t a democrat. It wasn’t an illegal immigrant. It wasn’t an LGBTQ person. It wasn’t an African American. It wasn’t anyone he said is poisoning the blood of Americans. He was white, young and a registered republican. Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania!
