They cry when it is one of their own--or deflect, play the victim and make excuses... they have no problem stoking violence against Swfities and Haitians tho;...

No, Christopher, now is not the time to talk about policy. This is the time for tots and pears. (Isn't that your phrase, Alicia? I remember it from a year ago!)

And that is the unfortunate thing--they are so aware of how they are impacting people with latent homicidal tendencies and don't care.

It only counts if they don’t miss. Otherwise I don’t give a flipping F. Come to think of it, I still wouldn’t care if it succeeded. He’s too disgusting and disgraceful to waste a moment of my emotion. Zip. Zero. No F’s given.

Me too--he just always seems to be conveniently getting shot at when he is losing. Sad too that this is what he would have to resort to that...

And again, the shooter (who was apprehended without firing any shots himself) was a former Trumper, now supporting Nikki Hailey and Vivek Ramaswamy

Great clarification of this breaking news story Alicia. Apparently Trump is reported as being more furious he didn't get to finish his golf game before being rushed to a secure bunker. .

Oh and PPPS: Funny how no press are reporting BOTH assassins were registered Republicans and this latest chap, Routh, voted for Trump in 2016.

Right--nine times out of ten it is republican doing this stuff--you have to reach waaay back to find a Democrat example of a political shooting.

the first article I read about the shooter claimed he was a registered democrat but then went on to say how he voted for multiple republicans…. I think they were both staged - especially the first one - he doesn’t care about collateral damage or loss of life and the secret service seemed to be in on it

Totally agree with you Susie. The loss of life in all this is being ignored - innocent civilians as well as the 'perpetrators'. Have people forgotten that a man died after setting himself alight outside Trump's trial? What about the two people who were injured in his first 'shooting'? What effect has all this had on their lives, their work, their families? Let alone the first responders of course.

We have the luxury - if you can call it that - of the British Press here, they are rapcious in their appetite for researching stories that often get over looked by US press. Plus we get the news earlier than you do in the 'news cycle'.

The Mail is a right-wing rag but it is at least reporting the voting record:

Who is Ryan Wesley Routh? Donald Trump assassination attempt suspect voted for the former president before wishing he was 'gone', donated to Democrats and fought in Ukraine

I find it pathetic that this chronic liar has lied so much, cried wolf too often, has played the victim too many times for us not to have doubts&questions.

Another angle is this provocateur sent out on social media that he hated a particular celebrity.

Unlike President Biden, or VP Harris if one of his deranged followers acted on his verbiage, Trump would express no regret. What if Trump’s hate back fired?

I’m exhausted&bored by the constant hate&drama

1st, his Secret Service detail, all of them, deleted all texts from J6.

2nd, they let him have a photo-op & put on his shoe lifts at the 1st alleged assassination attempt. The hospital says they never took him to the ER.

Then they stood back & stood by as Trump desecrated Arlington.

Now, there’s a 2nd incident of gunfire around the candidate in 2 months?

How incompetent are the Secret Service?

If the notorious NY Post is reporting that the "assassin" pointed an AK-17 at Trump, that means no shots were fired.

Anything more than that and they'd be publishing it already.

That's what stood out to me immediately...no one said I heard 5-6 shots fired first, then.... returned fire. So I was thinking that's STRANGE...!?!. To say the least

I heard shots in my rural area a week or so ago. And I could report the cadence of the firing and then figure how many shots fired...

Well it really stretches credulity when they go around making up stupid gross stories about eating pets. The precursor to that is him bringing up Hannibal Lecter. That was the "tell". When you look back at this it will be obvious who was lying. I am so sick of his lies. Every story he's ever told is a lie. We all know how he corrupts people that work for him. I don't know who these so-called secret service people are. Are they professional. From what I've seen I don't think so. They are not forthcoming about information. The way that first attempted assassination happened was just not normal, it seemed rehearsed. I've never seen anything so odd. His actions that night are like nothing I've ever seen of a victim of assassination. Then there was his behavior the next day....going golfing without a care in the world. I just don't believe the story...it isn't the whole story.
