    Let's wait and see who is responsible. I remember when Allard Lowenstein-a man I disagreed with politically but whom I admired and liked ever since I was tasked with escorting him around Yale years ago-was assassinated the first speculation was it was some right wing nut. Turns out it was a former supporter who thought Ambassador Lowenstein didn't move fast enough to the left.

    When my wife says, "Is this the country we are now? Is this some ****ing third world country? He's going to win in a landslide now" you know it's bad.

    This is why the communists here are acting like this. They know what this means.

    It doesn't contradict a damn thing.

    The right gloms onto conspiracy theories like a lamprey on a fish.

    Right now, I have NO doubt, the conspiracy engine is in overdrive trying to find a way to blame Biden for this.

    I'm just pointing out that you COULD make a case that Trump was behind it.

    I don't believe that. In fact I don't believe ANYTHING right now without more facts.

    Radicalized by Biden’s unhinged rhetoric for 4 years warning Trump is a threat to democracy!

    The eye witness report saying the shooter was on a water tower seems odd to me. Not sure I believe the secret service would let that happen.

    Yes we predicted the Democratic Party would assassinate Trump if they couldn't get him via lawfare. They for damn sure aren't interested in letting the American people decide. They will have us in a Civil War before they ever let Trump in the White House again. After this, Trump has no choice but to bring the hammer down on them. The raw courage of Trump in response to this outrage on our system of governance has tipped it for me. He won my vote. I hope to God the Democrat Party doesn't murder him before I get to cast it. This is only their first shot. There will be more.

    Most political gun violence has nothing to do with political affiliation. It sometimes does, and it happens on both sides of the aisle. But the simple fact is gun violence is a constant now and occurs everywhere from a parade to outside the school, at a car wash, etc. Our history has been replete with political assassinations beginning with the first successful attempt of Abraham Lincoln.

    I have a great idea everyone. Let's wait to see who is responsible. It could be a far lefty, a far righty, or just a plain anarchistic nutcase. someone apparently took a serious head wound according to a witness currently testifying on CBS right now. The witness claims to be a Trump supporter and doctor. One source is saying that two people are dead-the shooter and a rally attendee.

    From what little we have been told so far, I am betting this was somebody with a rifle, likely several hundred meters away.

    And in the videos of the scene there are a lot of trees in the distance. Not hard to imagine somebody firing from one of them.

    I mean when the head of trumps project 2025 is saying this is Americas second revolution and it will be a bloodless one if liberals will allow it — looks like they might not be sitting back and taking it like y’all hoped. That trumps blood is first is… ironic

    Why would you tie this to the Election ?

    Probably a American trying to save America's democracy and upholding the 2nd amendment

    No what you have here is some radical progressive voter trying to take matters into their own hands by usurping democracy and killing a leading political opponent.

    Do you think democracy is at stake in this election?
    Do you think Trump is an authoritarian that will end democracy?

    Why the hell wouldn't it be tied to the election? He's the lead political opponent during an election year. Of course this is related to the the election
