Agree, Biden is ushering-in the red wave that did not happen in 2022, it’s going to be a wipeout with Biden at the top. I have lost all hope now after briefly getting excited that there was momentum for him to step down.

Quite possibly.....

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Wash Post is reporting that he was grazed by a bullet, the shooter and someone else in the crowd is dead.
My initial reaction, besides how F’d up this is, is that the election is over. There’s a photo of Trump pumping his fist with blood all over his face. Everyone in America is gonna see that, and then there’s Biden calling Zelensky Putin and being helped to walk off stage.

My exact thought, Trump was already a lock to win, even more-so now. I am so glad he wasnt killed, his supporters would have killed lots of people in return.

The race is over.

Trump might be the antichrist. Nothing can stop him. I'm only half serious.

Biden has already come out and denounced this while Republicans are adding gasoline to the fire.

Of course he's denounced it. Doesn't matter. Optics are everything.

Wow, I'm a bit in shock.

This man attempted to overthrow the government of the United States. He should be in prison.

No, never voted for him, never would. I’m a registered Democrat…just didn’t feel like responding to that.

Whew... glad to hear it!

This will make Trump (already dangerous and Dictatorial) rule with an iron fist, the U.S. will have its first Dictator.

The alleged shooter also contributed to a leftist group on the day of Biden's inauguration so ultimately we may never really know his motivations. As for Trump's reaction, the Secret Service had said the shooter was down but that doesn't mean the threat was necessarily over. Trump's narcissism/political instincts/strength (take your pick) influenced his reaction. The photographs were iconic, regardless of what you think about Trump.

Now for the aftermath, the SS has a lot to answer for, also, legally purchased AR style rifle that Republicans love for everyone to have so thought’s and prayers….

Yeah, I thought that “registered Republican” bit was a little too soon considering the source was an anti-Trump site. Gun violence in general should be the central issue, hopefully Democrats use that properly. At this point, I don’t assume the incident changes many votes or the outcome of the election, though it may galvanize pre-existing MAGA support for him, and it may lead to more political violence down the road.

After the last election, I determined that the person I always think is going to win, always loses. I don’t know how to predict elections, and I don’t know whether that realization affects who I predict will win. I have no idea who the next president will be, Trump, Biden, Harris, someone else. Regardless, things ain’t looking so great.

But I really did laugh when he was refusing to leave the stage quickly with all the SS agents bear hugging him to get off. And then him pumping his fist for the photo op. He is so unserious. I hate that he's funny.
