This TDS rhetoric has gone on for most of a decade .

Is it really surprising then when such whipping up of hate leads to someone deciding to put an end to Trump ?

Here's what we know about Thomas Matthew Crooks, the suspected Trump rally shooter | Reuters (https://www.reuters.com/world/us/heres-what-we-know-about-thomas-matthew-crooks-suspected-trump-rally-shooter-2024-07-14/)

https://img-s-msn-com.akamaized.net/tenant/amp/entityid/BB1pW5rP.img?w=768&h=432&m=6&x=726&y=354&s=84&d=84

In the past two years, we nearly had a Supreme Court justice assassinated after rhetoric appearing to justify political violence from leading Democrat voices, including a House Speaker and Senate Majority Leader. We have seen racial, anti-Jewish, anti-Christian sentiment rising to violence.
Meantime, we see little or no effort by national leaders who dislike the tenets of conservatism, including the Biden White House, Attorney General Merrick Garland, and Democrat congressional, gubernatorial, or administrations member – to consciously discourage political violence.
This shooting will affect security around Donald Trump, but it is more than that. It is about who we are and will be. If this trend toward justifying violence continues, if reckless words are promoted by those who should be tamping down violent acts, we risk violence not seen in half a century.

Flashback 1800 election . The rhetoric used

Adams supporters claimed if Jefferson were elected if Jefferson were elected, “Murder, robbery, rape, adultery, and incest will be openly taught and practiced, the air will be rent with the cries of the distressed, the soil will be soaked with blood, and the nation black with crimes.”

Jefferson's proxies claimed if Adams were elected“chains, dungeons, transportation, and perhaps the gibbet” awaited citizens and they “would instantaneously be put to death.”

The hate-filled rhetoric tossed at Trump has been really something to see. I have oftentimes wondered what it is about Trump that stokes such vitriol. It has been seen repeatedly on this site as well.

Biden “If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him".

“The press always asks me, ‘Don’t I wish I were debating him?’ No, I wish we were in high school – I could take him behind the gym. That’s what I wish.”

I can do this all day . DeNiro wanted to punch him in the face.

Trump had it coming

I have oftentimes wondered what it is about Trump that stokes such vitriol. It has been seen repeatedly on this site as well.
Watch his face, listen to his gibberish, so bombastic. If your spouse acted and talked like Trump, you'd be filing for divorce -- or never would have married. My BIL is like Trump. We take him with a grain of salt and avoid close encounters.

And no, Biden does not thrill me. I wish two (handsome) younger men would be running for president!

One local police officer climbed to the roof and encountered Crooks, who pointed his rifle at the officer. The officer retreated down the ladder, and Crooks quickly took a shot toward Trump, and that’s when Secret Service snipers shot him, said the officials, who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
The officials also told AP that bomb-making materials were found inside Crooks’ vehicle, and bomb-making materials were found at his home.
Investigators believe the weapon Crooks used was purchased by his father at least six months ago, the law enforcement officials said. Federal agents were still working to understand when and how his son obtained the gun and to gather additional information about Crooks, according to the officials.
Crooks’ political leanings were not immediately clear. Records show Crooks was registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania, but federal campaign finance reports also show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on Jan. 20, 2021, the day President Joe Biden was sworn in to office.

The registration is easy to explain. Pennsylvania is a closed primary state . Joe was the only Dem seriously running So Dems encouraged their faithful to register Repub in the state in an attempt to give a boost to Haley. It didn't work Haley got 16.4 % but no delegates .

And right on cue, we get this.


Watch his face, listen to his gibberish, so bombastic. If your spouse acted and talked like Trump, you'd be filing for divorce -- or never would have married. My BIL is like Trump.

The Director of Secret Service is Kimberly Cheatle . Prior to that she headed PepsiCo Global Security (here's the kicker ) before that the emperor hired her to be part of the secuirty task force for VP Biden .

I won't get into the details of various conspiracy theories I've read today . Instead I will point out that there are elected Dems who prior to the assassination attempt called for the end of Trump having protection at all.

There is no end to the lying. It was comically ironic to read of Biden calling for national unity after leading, for years, the chorus of shrill accusations of Trump being Hitler, threatening an end to democracy, putting black people in chains, being a closet facist, and other popular numbers all intended, we are now to believe, to bring about unity?

He has a history of divisive politics going back at least to his days of Clarence Thomas' confirmation hearings and probably before . As far as I can tell Joe has always been a race baiter .

Any doubt of his nature should be put to rest with both his Independence Hall speech and this years SOTU address . He put a "bulls eye" on Trump and his constituents .

While this site, rather miraculously, is working, I thought I'd mention that it seems the powers that be are content to let it die a slow, agonizing death. It is becoming more and more difficult just to get to the homepage. Too bad.

Trump's SS crew (instructed and paid to make sure the shooter wasn't taken alive).Do you understand that the SS group assigned to Trump is still under the authority of Kimberly A. Cheatle, appointed by the Biden admin?

Don't want to get into conspiracy theories although it is easy to do with all the CYA going on. But as inept as Joe's team has been it is implausible to believe that they would get some kid who can't hit the side of a barn at 130 yd to be their hitman. Certainly not when Iranian assassins were available .
US knew of potential Iranian assassination plot against Trump weeks before deadly shooting (nypost.com) (https://nypost.com/2024/07/16/us-news/us-learned-of-potential-iranian-assassination-plot-against-trump-weeks-before-deadly-shooting/)

Why there was lax security knowing an international plot was underway is anyone's guess

Either the security was guilty of incredibly foolish mistakes, or some person/group was wanting to see Trump dead. I don't see any other options. It certainly was not the result of an amazingly skilled and clever assassin at work.

The director of the Secret Service stated yesterday that they did not have personnel on the roof where the shooter ended up being because it was a "sloped roof". Really? I'm 71 years old and I would be able to navigate around on that roof with no trouble whatsoever. She is the kind of inept hire that gives DEI a well-deserved bad name.

So the sloped roof was too dangerous to stand on? You mean like these guys are casually doing?

49616

Not only that ;local cops were stationed inside the building . That is a metal roof . They did not hear a sniper going up and down a ladder a couple of times ?

Or how about the claim about the threat of an Iranian assassin ? You would think that would warrant more security ;not mall rent a cops .

It's all very suspicious. It is hard to imagine how any even semi-competent person could have known about the threats of Iranian assassins and yet not even bother to secure a rooftop in prime shooting range from Mr. Trump because it has a GENTLE slope to the roof? How stupid can that lady possibly be?

and the threat to Trump has been continuous since January 2020 when IRGC boss Qasem Soleimani got a drone missile up his a$$ . As recent as March there were threats against Trump Pompeo and Bolton.

The latest craze by MLB players has been when they get a hit ;they grab their ear ;raise their fist and do fist pumps shouting "fight fight fight " !!

If Trump wins, he might very well look back on the assassination attempt as the turning point.

All he has to do is stick to policy differences . Most of the nation knows that inflation hurts ;that open borders is a bad idea ;and know the answer when asked how to identify a woman . Most of the nation doesn't want to be taxed to subsidize fantasies like the green new steal .

All he has to do is stick to policy differences . I'm not hopeful we will see that happen. At any rate, I'd also suggest two others.

Make a big issue out of the fact that Harris was put in charge of the southern border and yet never even visited the place other than a quick visit to a U.S. Customs Border Patrol central processing facility in El Paso, Texas. There, she received a briefing from officials with U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It would be like Eisenhower never setting foot in Europe during WW2.

She participated in a monstrous lie about the ability of Biden to continue on as president. In doing so, she placed political considerations above the welfare of the country. I would suggest he hammer that at every opportunity.

Her role at the border I consider one of the issues. I brought up her covering up Joe's condition on another posting . All the Dems are complicit in that except Dean Phillips


All he has to do is stick to policy differences .


I'm not hopeful we will see that happen.

Me neither . But I suggest he should refrain from the debate tactics he used against Evita. He came off as a bully then and it will be worse with a Black women .

I completely agree with you, but it seems to be hard to retrain Mr. Trump. All he has to do is let Harris talk. That will be sufficient.

But I suggest he should refrain from the debate tactics he used against Evita. He came off as a bully then and it will be worse with a Black women .
tRump doesn't know how to "refrain"! He bullies women, even MAGA women. He will outdo his usual bully-boy ramblings during a debate with Harris, an Indian/Jamaican (Black!!!), and will not be able to stay on topic, will quickly dissolve into burbles and snorts.

He refrained in the debate against Joe. He won by letting Joe speak . That strategy should work well against Kam the Sham .


Kam explaining foreign policy

“So, Ukraine is a country in Europe.It exists next to another country called Russia, Russia is a bigger country. Russia is a powerful country. Russia decided to invade a smaller country called Ukraine. So, basically, that’s wrong, and it goes against everything that we stand for.”

FBI Director Chris Wray testified at Congress yesterday about the assassination attempt of Trump . Put aside the apparent difference on how antisemitic rioters will be treated compared to Jan 6 rioters ;or the fact that the Dems took the occasion to emphasis political violence of all kinds instead of specifically the attempt . In a classic blame the victim move ;SQUAD member Pramila Jayapal said
“I understand the increased tenor of political violence that is racking the country. It has been on the rise, fomented by dehumanizing rhetoric by top officials including the former president.”.

More diversion from the issue . Adam Schiffhead asked Wray if someone with 34 felony convictions would be hired by the FBI What was really strange was Wray raising the possibility that Trump wasn't really hit by a bullet but instead took indirect shrapnel to the ear.

Wray bizarrely speculated :

“With respect to former President Trump, there’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear”

Here is a still of what looks like a bullet streaking past his head https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GSdIg1gXUAIh2w2?format=jpg&name=900x900

If any photo of shattered glass is available I have not seem it.


Ronny Jackson on X: "Christopher Wray was COMPLETELY INAPPROPRIATE and OUT OF LINE to question if President Trump was hit by a bullet.

We now know that there were 8 shots fired before the assassin was taken down,

There is also unconfirmed and very speculative reporting suggesting that the shooter ;Thomas Crooks ,supported Clueless Joe's border policy on a social media site that houses some strange bedfellows.

Gab Founder Says Trump Gunman Had Account on Site (dailydot.com) (https://www.dailydot.com/debug/trump-gunman-gab-thomas-matthew-crooks/)

Take that with a grain of salt . To me the narrative that he was just looking for a target of opportunity doesn't ring true.

Yesterday the FBI was forced to walk back Wray's ridiculous comment suggesting that Trump had been struck by a piece of glass instead of a bullet.

Trump was struck by bullet in assassination attempt, FBI says | CNN Politics (https://www.cnn.com/2024/07/26/politics/fbi-trump-interview-assassination-attempt/index.html)

Wray lied about that and lied about what he knew of Joe's health ;as Kam the Sham and everyone else in the administration are still doing.

Co-conspirators ;the compliant press and the deep state in action.


Here is Wray testifying

FBI Director says the bureau is unsure if Trump's ear was hit by bullet or shrapnel (youtube.com) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxmqdhLxN3E&t=65s)

Now here is Joy Reid creating the conspiracy theory that Wray parroted .

MSNBC’s Joy Reid questions whether Trump was actually hit by a bullet #shorts (youtube.com) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vt4AACr8Ikk)

Shrapnel !!!! yeah that's the ticket !!!!!!

Jim Jordon followed up and asked if the first bullet hit Trump. Wray replied that he did not have the answer BUT WE KNOW THE ANSWER and would he would have to get back to Jordon with the answer.

In other words yes we know he was hit by a bullet but I tried to advance this alternate theory anyway.

I will say what is not said because I have heard this speculated ...... they believe Trump staged this .

Trump went nuts on social media over this claim because now that the FBI Director said it ;the compliant press ran with it. This even after the hospital said it was a gun shot wound. This even after Representative Ron Jackson ;who is also Trump's physician examined Trump and said it was a bullet wound ,

"There is absolutely no evidence that it was anything other than a bullet," "Congress should correct the record as confirmed by both the hospital and myself. Director Wray is wrong and inappropriate to suggest anything else."

What difference would it make? He was hit by a bullet or he was hit by shrapnel/glass frags from a bullet that was fired at him. Either way, he was the victim of an intended assassination. So should he say, "Yes, I thought someone was trying to kill me, but turns out that the bullet intended for me missed by inches, hit something glass, and the glass fragments hit my ear, so now I feel better and realize the whole thing was just a big misunderstanding."

Juliette Kayyem is a former assistant director at DHS and a contributor of the compliant press. Here is what she wrote on X after Wray's testimony.

Juliette Kayyem on X: "I've waited a while to say this but the burden is now on Trump to show he was shot. I can condemn the assassination and still demand truth, especially since Trump is now politicizing taking a bullet. Wray has now opened the door; this is not a conspiracy theory.

Of course he is politicizing it. That's what politicians do. He was fired on, so he is going to use that to his advantage. Biden would do the same as would Harris. The primary story is still the failure of the USSS to adequately protect him, a failure so stunning and unprofessional as to have at least the appearance of being intentional.

yes indeed But they cannot get away with their narrative. A good percentage of the country still believes Trump is a Manchurian candidate. Trump can't allow an alt-narrative that this attempt was in any way a staged event to persist .

Already the Dems are spinning the attempt as a reason for more gun control.

“Mr. Comparatore, former President Trump and the other rally attendees wounded and Butler, are now members of a club no one wants to belong to — the thousands of people who have fallen victim to mass shootings,” said Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin.

OK it is safe to question what role the FBI played in this drama ?

A whistle blower revealed info to 'Just the News' that if true is chilling . Again if true then the only explanation is incompetence or collaboration.

Did the FBI knowingly allow someone on the terror watch list who was plotting to assassinate Trump into the country travelling directly from Iran ?

Yeah. I read about that as well. And allegedly he is not the only one to get in. There have been several.
