When he starts his whining because he was shot people should remind him what he told those Iowa parents when they had their shooting incident, β€œGet over it!”

Would the Secret Service jump in if he went to Barcelona and the locals started shooting πŸ”« squirt guns at the tourists? Does his hair dye or tanning lotion run more than usual in this hot weather πŸ€” . How hot πŸ”₯ does it need to be before he starts melting in the sunshine 🌞.

Sadly that was the first thing that came to mind once I realized he was fine. What's good for the goose is good for the gander. Right?

Don't let this take our eyes off beating him at the ballot box. That is our democracy's first line of defense.

Ginny Moody's avatar

YES! We need to show up for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. They are our only hope to keep democracy in America.

It's the first thought I had, that Donald staged this whole thing, including the deaths of two people. The timing is just too perfect and the fact that the shooter was an abysmally bad shot was my first clue. Also, he was too eager to jump back up and fist-pump the hell out of his audience instead of running screaming off throwing women and children behind him in his wake.

I thought that too. Seemed like a really convenient photo op to me. We’ve seen the Secret Service in the past protecting someone who has been shot. They basically tackled that person to the ground and rushed them out of the situation. This was like, let’s pause here for a photo op.

Also, what secret service dude would be tending a bleeding ear, while the possible victim refuses to leave the stage without putting his shoes on (from an eyewitness)? The drop down wasn't that aggressive that it knocked him out of his shoes, so why were they even off? Then to do the fist pump on stage and at the car. REEKS of a set up. Would HE care if it cost 2 people their lives? Not if it got him airtime, sympathy and money.

If his feet smell reputably as bad as his farts do, then shoes would trump blood. They are prepared for this contingency. There are gas masks in the bullet proof limo that hauls his majesty.

Thank you for the hysterical laughter before bedtime!

Like the scumbag Presidential candidate at the ending of the movie "The Dead Zone". (I didn't read the book.) Except for the last scene. Trump is way too chickensh-t to take that step.

Patricia Burney's avatar

I think he's exactly the person to get someone else to do it, though.

Love that film. Love it.

So do I. One of the best Stephen King adaptations as well as one of director David Cronenberg's best films, in my opinion.

Mine, too! That it was planned and staged. Right at the start of the nightly world news hour, too. A "near miss", and to heck with the bystanders or shooter, who wasn't going to get paid, anyway. And look how it instantly changed the media focus from bad Donnie's pecodillos and Project 2025. Interestingly, I haven't heard any discussion of gun control.

Blaming Biden? Don’t they know all they need to do is for him to call it β€œan official act?” Right?

We all know what Karma says, and she will bite you in the ass (or EAR in this case) when it's due.

Trump and the GOP's hate rhetoric for the last 8-10 yrs has only caused our country to be more divided and hateful. Now they're wondering how this could happen in our country? Are you f'ing kidding me !?!? Maybe it's time for all of them to take responsibility, think about their actions and what their mouths have done to cause this horrific division in this country and all the killing. Any REAL Christian wouldn't wish their opponent dead or speak like a fascist every time their at a rally. After all God, didn't you say we would should love our neighbors and help the poor?

I think they forgot that part !!

Dawn G's avatar

Let me add that I am against any political violence of any kind including what the Republican party has allowed for years. It's gone WAY TO FAR and we need to HEAL instead of HATING!!!

Joe uziel's avatar

Did you hear that recently, 38 thousand Christians signed a document of some sort saying that because they are devote Christians, that they are thereby bound by that faith to oppose any sanctioned melding of church and government. πŸ‘. But... Only 38 thousand people? Given the U.S. population, that's maybe half a drop in the bucket πŸͺ£.

That's a wall I want to see built.

Well said God. Buckle up everyone.

Imagine the money he’s gonna grift off of his cult claiming martyrdom. It’s outrageous that he’s blaming Biden and calling for his arrest! I hope he lives to see what prison life is like.

Patricia Burney's avatar

Just remember, πŸŽƒ is only a martyr if he's dead. If it had been a real attempt there isn't a shooter worth his salt that could have missed that big stupid πŸŽƒ. Anything that happens to that twit is self-inflicted.

Joe uziel's avatar

Could he have suddenly moved, maybe distracted by one of his farts πŸ€”. Or, the second farter theory that he moved because he was trying to smell someone else's fart?

Joe uziel's avatar

His so-called face and under it is the motto 'give me money πŸ’° cuz I took a bullet for you.'

Joe uziel's avatar

Bullet proof glasses?

Joan dillon's avatar

God didn't protect him, the Teleprompter did. The first bullets hit the Teleprompter, the flying glass out of it hit him in the ear. I hope he never bad mouths people who use teleprompters again. It saved his life.

I feel so sorry for the family who had to witness the terrible death in their family member.

You're right about milking this tragedy in thousands of ways.

Joe uziel's avatar

The dofus has grown up so much.

It was only a few years ago that he wouldn't even tweet. He had people do it for him. Now the cell phones big sister has possibly saved his life. Proof that violence can be funny?@#?

The event caused me to look at Twitter for the first time in months. Good to know it’s still a hellscape. One thing I noticed is that the popular blue dem accounts I follow had trolls screaming, β€œITS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!!” In the comments and followed by a bunch of expletives. Yikes.

yup! i’m very on top of where it’s going

Joe uziel's avatar

Dear God. You might have already mentioned this, Mr. Twit recently put the X in X. It all comes back to money πŸ’°.

A sad event. But it reminded me that as Hitler was establishing himself as a dictator, there were about 14 attempts to assassinate him. Most of the attempts were by people concerned about Hitler’s threat to democracy and the rule of law.

Plausible deniability. Good strategy God. The Devil is in the details. Re: the divine evacuation, wi fi signals are that good up there.

Skip Carufel's avatar

Nicely put. Thank you.

Nancy Taylor's avatar

So many early comments were "he set it up", and I found myself kind of wishing the shooter was better at his attempt.

At the same time we never want "martyr TRump" AND also, political violence is NEVER acceptable....

Nbburfish's avatar

Listening to Republicans decry violence, aghast that this could happen in America. Perhaps they should listen to Trumps hate filled speeches, his calls for violence against the judiciary and the media among many others. The Republicans are the ones constantly denying Americans reasonable gun laws. I can see him milking this event, accusing Joe Biden of being responsible. He never requires evidence for his many accusations. I can also envision him equating this with being in the military. The other people who were shot are tragic collateral damage - all very sad.

DOJ has got to get a hell of a lot tougher when it comes to fraud, coming out of Trump's mouth.

Most likely, imho, it was most likely the shooter who took down the shooter.
