I denounce the assassination attempt. Happy?

This is one of those things you shouldn't have to say just to appease the other side of the political aisle....

Like "I'm not a white supremacist/nazi"

Or...

"I don't support the grooming of children"

The rhetoric has gotten out of hand.

Cool

now lose the idea that Trump is a Fascist out to subvert our democracy

because Joe Biden isn't Joseph Stalin out to put people in gulags

hyperbolic, stupid political rhetoric and slogans leads to political violence

the Democratic Party has been using violent, civil-war like rhetoric for 6 months, calling Trump and the GOP a "threat to Democracy", "Fascists", and saying that any and all means must be taken to prevent Trump from winning

and now we have this. The political left burned police stations and shot people in the streets in 2020 --now it is attempting to assassinate a former president
Obnoxious and untrue, except that trump and his "supporters" are indeed a threat to democracy.

your rhetoric is the reason candidates are getting shot

Trump is not a threat to democracy, and he certainly isn't a Fascist

he may have some bad ideas, you might disagree with him on policy, but to say he is a Fascist is nonsense

so do you think Trump should be shot?

Mr Trump inspires the rhetoric and the violence. Everyone reaps what he sows. Most rational people don't want to see our politicians shot at...yet. But I fear our society is approaching the PSR.

You’re right, I shouldn’t have to say it, yet due to another’s continued misreading of things, here we are.

Did he or did he not try to steal the election?

We probably won't know at this point.

Unfortunately, Fani Willis is not the prosecutor for the job.


That sort of thing isn't good for a legitimate case.


Did he or did he not avoid trying to calm things down despite many on his side, including his family, trying to get him to do so?

Are you aware of the Pelosi video where she admits responsibility for not having the national guard that was requested?

If they could charge him with insurrection as they claim happened...they would...but that would involve a lot of video footage and a speech where Trump called for a legal, peaceful protest.

He’d garner less negative rhetoric if he wasn’t a crook.

Same can be said of Biden.



I think rhetoric is a problem; that’s why I try to avoid it.

Well you did just say he tried to steal an election.

When you say the stuff you do, it leads one to believe you are not sympathetic and concerned that someone tried to assassinate the former president.

Perhaps folks would do well to read my comments and those to which I’m responding and take them at face value instead of trying to read more into them than what’s there.

How would you describe his fake elector scheme?
What fake elector scheme. Is there a prosecution for it and a conviction for it? Or is this just more rhetoric becauae Trump thought there was some shenanigans going on and wanted people to make sure there weren't more votes out there for him.

Given the typical rhetoric in this thread, regardless of the inexcusable circumstances no matter where you are in the political maze, I’m requesting this be closed. This is just disgusting.

Wait… You’re accusing me of spouting rhetoric without even knowing what I’m talking about?


Multiple people are being prosecuted for this and it’s part of Jack Smith’s investigation into Trump.

lol… No wonder you think Trump isn’t that bad.

Let the conspiracies began.

Ah, an invitation. Thank you. I believe it's possible Mr Trump cut his ear on the old lady's walker when he ran her over running for cover. (George Costanza at the children's birthday party) ;).

Assassination of political figures has to be one of the most useless and stupid actions anyone can take. Not only is it criminal, but no assassination has also never achieved what its conspirator/conspirators wanted. Look at the assassination of King Philip II of Macedon in 336 BC. If was indeed Persians who orchestrated it, it resulted in Philip's son, Alexander III, obliterating their empire. The assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC did not save the republic and ultimately ushered in The Principate (Empire) under Caesar's adopted son, Augustus by 27 BC.
I think the person who ordered the assassination of Malcolm X got what he wanted. Sirhan-Sirhan certainly ended the presidential candidacy of Robert Kennedy as intended.

Political violence is not acceptable at all. Please pray for the family of the attendee who died, and for any who are injured including President Trump.
