Joy Reid suggests Biden recovering from COVID is 'exactly the same thing' as Trump surviving an assassination

The MSNBC host also said, Trump 'was given nine seconds to take an iconic photo-op' after being shot

Joy is a moron.  Trump totally took advantage of that moment though.  He knew exactly what he was doing.  Pretty smart actually.

Right...If you stayed off of Twitter or just ignored it, you wouldn't know about it and/or wouldn't be bothered by it.  There are never ending things that people buy into that are stupid, though I don't know that this particular Twitter post is something to be bothered about anyway.

It's not that particular one, it's that there a plenty more of them.  The fact that these large groups of brainwashed people exist is troubling.  I feel like the far left and far right keep growing bigger.

I think their approach represents what we should not accept from them. When the media distorts the event with carefully worded articles, that should generate a negative response on our part.

Impossible.  @nobody told me has to hate Trump and was inspired to kill him by Biden saying he's a threat to democracy.

[TBayXXXVII 2,519]

 @RLLD seemed to be the one making claims initially, and @Herbivore was just calling him out.  @RLLD said “the rhetoric started” with people towards Trump. @Herbivore said no it started at minimum with Palin/Giffords and @RLLD said no it didn’t it started with people towards Trump. So the only way that would make any sense would be if @RLLD didn’t think Biden’s bullseye comment was “dangerous rhetoric”

I don't see "crosshairs" as violent rhetoric... nor do I think is "bullseye", they're figures of speech.  I believe @RLLD's stance is that as well... though, the non-stop violent rhetoric from the left makes bullseye worse.  If you want to say that Palin started it, fine... but I don't even remember that let alone any other violent (if you want to call "crosshairs" violent), rhetoric just like I didn't even remember Biden saying "bullseye".  But really, was there any other comments back then... at all?  I'm willing to bet there isn't because no one on the Left has brought it up.

The reason why I believe @RLLD's stance on Biden's comments is more harsh than Palin's is because Biden's is among an extensive list of violent rhetoric statements made at Trump since 2015, so it's not like that was the only one.  We have people on this board like @squistion, @GutterBoy, and @Pimpadeaux (and his 50 other alias'), constantly call Trump Hilter or a dictator, or a threat to Democracy, or a threat to the country, just like the media and Left in DC.  It's non-stop.  They constantly have taken "bloodbath" out of context as well as "very fine people on both sides", and use that as a hammer for violent rhetoric.

Let's even take the most recent example of the assassination attempt.  There were plenty of left-wing news outlets saying Trump "fell" or that "loud noises" were heard at the Trump rally, completely downplaying what happened.  Then, after they were forced to cover the assassination attempt, they started victim blaming... while 'ho hum let's back off the violent talk'.  Biden comes out and acts presidential, but 24 hours later, he's back to calling Trump a threat.

So, as isolated incidents pertaining to crosshair's and bullseye, they're a nothingburger in my opinion.  Amidst the constant onslaught of violent talk from the Left over the last 9 years, bullseye is just one of the many things that the left has said on a regular basis.  Keep in mind, even MSNBC had to sideline their worst examples of this with the Morning Joe show the day after the assassination attempt because even MSNBC knew that those two are horrible people and couldn't be trusted.

Never once called Trump Hitler or a dictator, and he is a threat to democracy and the country.  I'm sure you think the same about Biden.

I don't think that of Biden.  I know that Biden has dementia and is a pawn.  I think the people pulling his strings want to stay in power, so they say whatever they have to, to keep people like you voting for them.  If that means painting Trump as a target, so be it.  If it means to take his speeches out of context, so be it.  It's what you do here every day.

Is anyone credible proposing wild theories?  If not who cares?  You could say the sky is blue and 20% of people will disagree.  Shoot, there are plenty of people out there that think the earth is flat.  You don't cater to the least common denominator.

To confirm, anyone suggesting this was an inside job or the SS intentionally allowed it to happen is not credible, correct?

Press finally starting to ask questions

 

MILWAUKEE (AP) — Four days after a gunman’s attempt to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally, the public is still in the dark over the extent of his injuries, what treatment the Republican presidential nominee received in the hospital, and whether there may be any long-term effects on his health.

Trump’s campaign has refused to discuss his condition, release a medical report or records, or make the doctors who treated him available, leaving information to dribble out from Trump, his friends and family.

CT scan was done and it was clear.

Looks like the AP is a little late to the party.  Aren't they the ones that said Trump fell?  

 

Also, I like how they say "gunman", not his name.

JUST IN: Secret Service was aware of the potential threat 10 minutes before Donald Trump took the stage in Pennsylvania but let him go out anyway. The revelation was made during a Senate briefing today. Sen. Marsha Blackburn says she was "appalled to learn the Secret Service knew about a threat prior to President Trump walking on stage." "I have no confidence in the leadership of Director Cheatle and believe it is in the best interest of our nation if she steps down from her position."

A tree may have prevented one of the sniper teams tasked with protecting former President Donald Trump at his Pennsylvania campaign rally from clearly seeing the would-be assassin as he climbed on a roof and opened fire, according to a CBS News analysis of video and satellite imagery.

The tree, located between the shooter and the sniper team closest to him, may have impaired the team's line of sight as the gunman climbed onto the roof from where he fired multiple rounds. That sniper team, which was positioned on a roof over Trump's right shoulder, did not fire the shot that killed the gunman, two federal law enforcement officials told CBS News.

A U.S. Secret Service sniper stationed in a building behind the former president fired one round, killing the gunman, according to multiple law enforcement officials. Two federal law enforcement officers told CBS News the Secret Service team that ultimately killed the shooter was located on a building behind Trump's left shoulder — with a view that was not blocked by the tree, the CBS analysis shows. That team was initially directed to go another way, so the snipers had to reorient themselves before taking down the gunman, CBS News' Charlie de Mar reported.

No, we are at them briefly reporting all that they knew at that time, that he fell but they didn't know the reason - you must admit it would be irresponsible to report it as an assassination attempt if they didn't know for sure why he fell after we heard those popping noises.
