The diabolical nerve, TYrump and Vance have accusing Democrats of the violent results caused by TYrump’s and Vance’s own constant lies and dangerous accusations, is repugnant.
And yes, we must keep speaking out in spite of their false rhetoric and threats.
I use the terms “dark” and “heartbreaking” often to describe the consequences of Trump’s life here on earth.
Traitor/Rapist/Fraudster/34X felon and his sycophant Juvenile Delinquent (JD) Vance are VILE LIARS! Two deranged individuals are responsible for the attempted assassination attempts on the ORANGE MONSTER! VP Harris and Governor Walz speak the truth about the wannabe dictator demented Don the Con! I suggest that the MAGA crowd adapt a kitten or puppy in the vain hope these beautiful creatures can teach them some “humanity”! VOTE ALL BLUE!!!
Sadly and regrettably, these assailants are playing right into the hands of the Trump/Vance cabal. It appears to be perfectly staged and scripted to their favor, even when unintentional. Playing the "They are out to get me" card serves well the party of our enemy (Republican). The fact that JD Vance admitted naked to the world that he will "create" stories that serve to benefit the Trump campaign makes clear their treachery. That rebirths Kellyanne Conway's assertion there are "alternative facts". Therein lives and thrives the art of deception and the art of the lie. An entire nation is at risk.
I hate conspiracy theories and their fans, but I really do wonder about this latest incident. The disastrous debate performance makes the MAGA campaign desperate, and they play up the sympathy card with this. Convenient, to say the least.
The good news/bad news is that this assailant has a history; and, not a good one. The last thing our country needs is an assassination. That would result in a major political conflagration. The violence that would result from the Trump camp would turn our country inside out. (Edited to correct spellinng errors.)
Absolutely. No one on our side sanctions assassination. We refrain from even "joking" about it, unlike dumbshit asshole Musk. Political violence has no place in our process. It is not law and order.
I listen to The Fox “News” Rundown podcast (my quotes) most mornings. This morning they were connecting the supposed assassination attempt to the Democrats using phrases like “threat to our Democracy” when describing Trump and claiming that no other candidate has EVER faced such hateful rhetoric and no wonder there have been attempts on his life, blah blah blah.
Never mind all the intensely hateful rhetoric that was rampant during Barack Obama’s time in office. Never mind the fact that no President in modern times has ever spoken as disrespectfully and threateningly as has DJT, nor have past presidents cursed and mocked and abused and vilified entire communities in the ways DJT has.
They act like HE is normal and all the abnormally heated and hateful things coming out have nothing to do with HIM, when nearly everything can be traced to his speeches, tweets, “truths”, and interviews.
Even the two nuts who have allegedly made attempts on his life are politically ambiguous at best, emboldened mostly by the environment established by DJT and his MAGA cult.
I am amazed at the level of hypocrisy that the Republicans have when it is their guy(s) that spew the hatred and I am also amazed at how quickly they have devolved into an authoritarian cult. Honestly the last few years seem like a lifetime ago when there were actually Republicans who stood for something besides their own interests.
At this point we can no longer be amazed at Republican hypocrisy. That is now their default setting. The Trumpstain has infected the entire party. The only thing that can amaze us now is if Trump or the Republicans utter anything true. If they do, it's probably a mistake.
Steven, another well timed and accurate assessment of life in these United States as brought to us by the Repugnant Party and it’s Trolls. I often wonder why the right of “Free Speech” goes unchallenged when it’s employed to deliver Hateful, Dangerous Lies. A classical example, if an individual cries FIRE in a crowded venue as a “joke”, knowing there isn’t an emergency, and someone is seriously injured or worse. Could they not be charged for inciting a riot leading to injury, death and/or destruction to others? Isn’t this what the CONVICTED FELON and his “wanna be” are doing? Essentially what this sketchy (contrived?) assassination attempt is meant to do. I mention…”sketchy assassination attempt” because his visit to the Course was allegedly(?) “unscheduled” so much so…even the Secret Service preparation was caught off balance. Perhaps fewer credible witnesses?
I wish (sincerely hope) that Kamala/Walz can trounce these fools. It is the only hope we have of survival!!!
The last paragraph of yours is superb. Like prophets of old we must continue to speak out. As was said by such a prophet in times of yore of those on the wrong side of life: "For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind."
This is what we hope for. An unraveling (and remaking) of the GOP
And then they wonder why everything in trump world seems contrived and same people question the truth. Fundraising off an attempt to assassinate you…with a short time after it happens. Trying to shut down the other campaign and media from questioning his position on those issues he had a position on. Even though the attempts may be legitimate, he does make them seem contrived.
The lies and bullcrap spewing from the repugs is beyond belief. Of course they will use this latest so called attempt to silence tfg to blame anyone but themselves. It is the magat rhetoric which fuels all this and how about Vance admitting he made up the whole Haitian lie to Dana Bash? No truth has come from tfg or his lying cronies for over 9 years since the pompous ass made his appearance. The so called shooter tho he never did shoot a bullet was one of their own disillusioned by tfg’s lies. Surprises me they are actually miffed by the fact someone is trying to shut tfg up with their own methods.
Check this! The Republican Party is no more! This is the MAGA party created by Trump to replace the GOP! Many of the old, maybe former, Republicans are supporting and announced to be voting for the Harris/Walz ticket!
You are exactly right, Steven: as we get closer and closer to the election, we can expect the level of Republican outbursts, fueled by hate-mongering and hysteria, to rise exponentially. But then they have nothing else to offer other than lies and fear. It is incumbent on each one of us to call out their hypocrisy at every turn.
Let's not play their game, however, by getting dragged down into the mud with them. We must keep amplifying the righteous agenda for change that Kamala Harris is spearheading.
We can, and will, prevail. The positive poll numbers from the swing states yesterday is clear evidence of this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LEPGKmWFC88). But we must stay focused, without allowing the fascists to throw us off course. We must win by overwhelming numbers in order to deflate the inevitable post-election challenges from the losers.
Robert Hubbell called the GOP hypocrisy as "viscous." It's worse than that: it is like the sap that traps the flies/MAGATS and entombs them, with the rest us, in the flawed amber of authoritarianism.
Routh was a passionate supporter of Ukraine. Wonder if in his troubled mind the thing that set off his stalking was trump's position that the war should be resolved by letting Putin keep the eastern section?
Of course they use this latest incident for political advantage. They do anything for power. The Republican party, or what remains of it, has lost any semblance of principles. This descent began long before the rise of tRump, but it has reached even more horrendous proportions since he emerged. There is truly nothing they will not do, no dangerous rhetoric they will not say, no lethal incitement of deranged followers they will not encourage, no underhanded maneuver they will not employ. They abandon tradition and probity, ethics and morals, fact and truth. The danger they represent to not only our own people but the very underpinnings of our entire republic cannot be overstated. And by extension, their evil intent endangers the world. We must not let them take power. Ever.
I am fed up with lies from self-righteous Republicans. We must carry Kamala to the WH in a landslide, along with holding the Senate and taking the House. Then I never want to hear Trump’s and Vance’s names again EVER.
It would be really great if the leadership/AG of OH hit the problematic parties with a cease and desist order, as a preliminary attempt at curbing the impact their rhetoric is having on the State that one of them represents. The exception to the First Amendment, for inciting violence, stemmed from an Ohio case. Vote 💙
Critically Important article again Steven.
The diabolical nerve, TYrump and Vance have accusing Democrats of the violent results caused by TYrump’s and Vance’s own constant lies and dangerous accusations, is repugnant.
And yes, we must keep speaking out in spite of their false rhetoric and threats.
I use the terms “dark” and “heartbreaking” often to describe the consequences of Trump’s life here on earth.
But, I don’t want him to die!
I want him to LOSE the election.
I want him to be held accountable.
Thank you
Traitor/Rapist/Fraudster/34X felon and his sycophant Juvenile Delinquent (JD) Vance are VILE LIARS!

Sorry, also "conflagration."
You got me! I thought it looked odd, but I did not spell-check. I will edit it.
I for one don't give a f*** if tangeranus lives or dies. I really don't care.
We do not need to create a martyr!!

Just read the essay, and feel the same way about the final paragraph.
And then they wonder why everything in trump world seems contrived and same people question the truth. Fundraising off an attempt to assassinate you…with a short time after it happens. Trying to shut down the other campaign and media from questioning his position on those issues he had a position on. Even though the attempts may be legitimate, he does make them seem contrived.

I truly support the Dems who say STFU.
He who sows hatred will harvest hatred
Of course they use this latest incident for political advantage. They do anything for power. The Republican party, or what remains of it, has lost any semblance of principles.
