BTW, you reckon the Dems are going to introduce another bill to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection?

And the big fat pussy still left the stage. The ghost of TR is wondering where the men are these days.

Again, not a good look. This says more about you than anything else.

Don’t mind Jon. That’s just the sheer frustration of seeing somebody ostensibly on his side do something colossally stupid and damaging to his core ideals and beliefs. It’s the same way a number of us felt on January 6, a few years back…

I don't recall any of us saying that the Jan 6 riot was a good thing. We've disagreed on whether Trump was responsible or whether punishments fit the crimes, but none of us were joyous at the event.

And I haven’t seen Jon overjoyed or even remotely happy about today. He’s frustrated, and I get why.

If it doesn’t contain an element of real blood lust, it’s not diagnosable as TDS, per the DSM.

If he's not happy at Trump getting shot, he's fooled me...

Watching the video of the event, it appears that Trump quickly took evasive action - but I was surprised at how long it took for 1) Secret Service to get on stage and 2) get him off the stage. If that guy was a better shot, this might have ended differently.

It's not the movies.

Trump went down because he was grazed on the ear by a bullet... There's pain from the bullet and pain from the air pressure "slap".

The Secret Service acted fairly quickly AFTER they realized what was happening. They would not let Trump up, covering him with their bodies. If you listen close to the tape, you'll hear somebody yelling "Shooter down! Shooter down!"...The Secret Service did not let him up until then. They then shielded him all the way to the SUV.

You're right. The first video I saw was at a higher level - and I couldn't see the Secret Service who were there - immediately. The only one I saw from other angle was the guy who showed up 2-3 seconds after the shot.

The egg on the Secret Service's face is not securing the rooftop and I'm sure facts will be forthcoming.

If George's comment was correct and additional Secret Service was asked for and denied...Well, that's going to be interesting...

Did you have a good sleep, at least?

That's coming from the Trump camp. Take it for what it's worth considering the source.

I'm sure there are documented communications, right?

Congressman Ronny Jackson had gotten his nephew a seat on the stage for the Trump Rally Jackson says his nephew has a bullet burn on his neck, while a man was shot behind him.

555. Actually no. I had a pizza last night and I think the spices in the pizza made me wake up thirsty a couple of time during the night. aaargh!!

Newt is blaming democrat rhetoric demonizing Mr. Trump.

This is not the last time we will hear this.

[Jolly]

And another thing...Bongino has been saying somebody was going to take a crack at Trump. Dan still has contacts in the Secret Service...Reckon he was just opining or had he maybe been told something?

Guys, this is literally Hitler we are talking about. Why are you all upset?

I'm upset because we can no longer tell the difference between a douchebag who is conservative and Hitler.

Some of us can. I worry about the ones who can't.

There are a lot of them.

I wonder how our armed forces would lean if things got spicy out there. It'd be silly to presume they'd all be lock-step one way or another.

I’ll choose to disagree with you, there. I find very little conservative about Trump and many of his stances.

It's the gun's fault.
