So a person tried to assassinate Trump

The people making a commotion about the shooter maybe did save Trump’s life. Secret Service understood something was going on over there so they were on it and took the shooter out immediately. Otherwise the shooter probably would’ve got more shots off after Trump went down. Can’t really tell exactly what it’s like behind the podium there but seems like the shooter would’ve still had a pretty good angle.

You kidding?  They had him in their sights for several minutes BEFORE he shot at Trump.  The question is simply why did they not take him out BEFORE he shot at Trump.

It seems to me Trump himself is as guilty of this sort of extreme over-the-top language as anyone. I can’t think of another political figure from either side of the aisle who’s personally done more to drag the conversation into the gutter than him. 

Sure, he's over the top with rhetoric.  I have always been open and critical of that.  But the Hitler, dictator, threat to our democracy stuff is a step beyond that.  Maybe you don't agree, but so far it's Trump who has had an assassin target him and taken that rhetoric to heart.  And to be honest, the media has been more complicit in this than Joe Biden.  I don't think if it were just Biden making speeches it would be so ramped up.

Mayorkas claims Trump had "enhanced" security.  I shudder to think what qualifies as normal security.

[nobody 2,672]

There are no less than 4 people in this thread claiming that Trump is going to install himself as dictator while also saying we need to dial down the rhetoric.  Good times.  Good times.

Saying it’s crazy is jumping into conspiracy realm but you are absolutely right. The reality of it is. It only takes one person. When you work security you only know your assignment not everyone else’s.

Man you are stupid.  All anyone has said, is that Trump said he will be a dictator on day 1.  What does that mean?  Who knows, probably just that he'll sign a bunch of EOs.

But all of his other moves, and his desires, are authoritarian in nature.

But sure, lie that we're saying he will install himself as dictator and then accuse us of spreading rhetoric.

I do agree with you that the Hitler / threat to our democracy stuff is ridiculous. Just saying, Trump has a long history of wading in exactly the same sort of pig muck.

I’m assuming the Secret Service are thwarting assassination plots if not attempts against Biden all the time? Is that Trump’s fault? He said there may not be an America if Sleepy Joe wins.

I’d rather our politicians not accuse each other of being Nazis and pedophiles.

Soooo....kind of like what Biden did? 

Also like Biden...he goes against the SCOTUS an awful lot to be considered constitutionally responsible.

I doubt that’s true because it doesn’t make much sense. Unless they couldn’t see the weapon or something? Because I’m pretty sure if he was pointing the gun at Trump and getting him in his sights, they’d fire.

Imagine stumping for a smug jagoff who was born on third base and doesn't have an ounce of the charisma his father has. DTJ will be on the ash heap of history once Donald Sr.'s political career is over. 

And "He committed a murder on Live TV"- who talks like that?

Why am I not surprised @Voltaire posted this in the Colorado nightclub shooting thread, and now seems to be of the opinion that Crooks must be a lib.

Of course one difference that makes it more plausible for Crooks to be a righty that committed this heinous act is that MR Aldrich targeted gays indiscriminately, whereas Crooks targeted one specific person, and not “the party.”

What is source of the potential surprise? I've not been online long enough to learned anything new today about Crooks BTW, just saw that I had a notification.

You shoot into a crowd of Trump supporters, like in Butler, you hit hardworking men adored by their families. 

You shoot into a crowd of leftists, like in Kenosha, you hit convicted sex offenders and pedophiles.

Communist is just like calling someone fascist.  I managed to leave that one out, because while we should all be better, I don't think those terms in and of themselves are the biggest threats.  However invoking the name and imagery of Hitler is a direct reference to the extermination of a race at the hands of a totalitarian dictator.  It fits in with the threat to our democracy line and the racist narrative.  That's certainly no accident they all piece together.
