Assassination Attempt on the Former President

[SixFoot]

That’s how a leader responds.

[DougBH]

Now let him drop the “by the FBI” and replace it with “any appropriate government agency”.

[mot1man]

Is that X? If so, he must’ve deleted that account, or X did it for him.

[Nemesis]

It was, I think its one of the first times he has made a statement that is not somehow about him but understanding this is bigger than him and impacts the country.

I get someone trying to kill you is pretty ■■■■■■■ personal and he could have easily gone full Trump with it but he did not.

[Nemesis]

Who was saying that?

freedom of speech must be defended

Freedom of speech should be defended. But as the high court said, one cant yell “Fire” in a crowded theater. I would like there to be class action law suits against politicians. They know Trump is a blowhard. But they say he is “Hitler” Hitler killed 6m Jews. How many has Trumped killed? Making statements with intent to inflame should be punished. That includes government officials and media personalities no matter what side of the political aisle they are on.

And just like that, the right recognizes the dangers of over-heated rhetoric. The left has been talking about this for years, and ya’ll dismissed it. Welcome to the party

'All Hail King Joe!' Liberals want Biden to jump all over the immunity...

Some of the unhinged haters.

You see you misunderstand what democracy is. They have taken a very 1793 French definition of democracy to heart. What Marat called the “will of the people.”

We are a Republic not a democracy.

[mot1man]

What the hell are you talking about? Welcome to the party? Where the ■■■■ have you been for the last 8-9 years?

Certainly not warning anyone of “heated rhetoric”.

The left has been talking about this for years, and ya’ll dismissed it

You mean the left has been engaged in it for years?

Laughable!!

@WuWei

Trump is expected to still attend the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee, which begins Monday.

But…Biden flubbed the debate because he had been in an airplane just a little over a week before…among other reasons. And Trump can attend a convention just a few days after being shot in an attempted assassination? How does that work?

It can be dangerous and should be defeated by being repudiated by the ethos of the American people…but not by government action.

Oh please, these lunatics have been like this since at least 2000 when The SCOTUS and Governor Bush conspired to “install” Dubya as President.

Remember when they all attacked his motorcade?

This is their default. It’s weird when they AREN’T violent animals.

[Supreme_War_Pig]

I’m talking about “second amendment solutions”. I’m talking about the right’s torrent of invective about the left for years: we are socialists, we are evil, we want to destroy the country. I am talking about the right eliding the most despicable of conspiracy theories.

[Supreme_War_Pig]

Well again, however belatedly, welcome to the party.

If I take 1932 Ford coupe, strip it down to the body shell and frame, drop in a Chevy 327 with a Muncie 4 speed tranny, gut the interior and replace it with something custom, set it down on a Jaguar IRS, and Porshe rack and pinion, with Crager Slots all the way around, and add a '38 La Salle radiator shell, it is still called a Ford.
This is your republic.

Thank you. Now lead me to your posts repudiating Democrats claims of existential threat to democracy, worse than Hitler and semi fascists so I can learn how it works.

Yes on social media both sides have them but how does that become the official platform of either party?

Plenty of horrible things said about Biden o Truth Social but I dont expect Trump to post a response decrying each one.

“BOTH SIDES!!”
