Shots fired at Trump rally

I really, really hope that the Dems/medias put a stop to their fear mongering. As we see, it only takes one nutjob to believe what they say.

I wouldn't be so quick to assume this person is a Biden supporter.  While the anti-govt militias often get lumped in as "right wingers", they hate Republicans almost as much as they do Democrats.  Remember the kidnapping plot with Gretchen Whitmer?  The media immediately blamed Trump, except the guy leading that militia HATED Trump.

While I hate the violent rhetoric on both sides, it more often than not seems to echo, rather than cause, unrest.  I doubt the cackling hens on The View actually provoked this guy by constantly referring to Trump as Hitler.

Trump should win in a landslide now.

It was already trending that way barring an October surprise, even before the debate, really.

What's concerning now is the Repubs taking the House (Senate looked to already be heavily in their favor)...AND now possibly a super majority in the Senate.  That's BAD given the complete lack of a spine with Republicans when it comes to Trump.

I never said it was a Biden supporter, because I have no idea about who it might be. I did say that it only takes one nut job to believe the fear mongering.

Election over.

Trump should win in a landslide now. This plays directly into everything he has been saying for years. Next week will be a coronation for him as he plays this up as he should. 

Also, this is absolutely crazy and is closest this country has been to the chaos of 1968 and 1969.

Not so fast.

CBS already talking nasty about Trump because his one message said "God bless America" and his own experience of the shooting and didn't express condemnation for the violence. He may not have known the full story at the time.

I was going to make that joke earlier.  Decided it was in bad taste.  "Late, and behind the target"

What?!?  So CBS is bashing a guy who just got shot for not condemning violence?  I'm starting to wonder just how deep the mental health issues run in this country.

I just think that you can have anything as a reason, excuse, belief and it’s all good.

Kinda like Dusty Baker answering questions about his decisions

Burrow? I guess. What’s that have to do with anything 

Trying to figure out if this was a fake or if this was what CNN actually put up.

How does law enforcement allow a guy with a gun get on this roof? 

Well, totally looking forward to the next few months now! It is gonna wind up a civil war without borders, isn't it?

What difference does it make? There were a bunch of bad headlines like this when things were unfolding. Media outlets refused to call it a shooting for like an hour.

USAToday was still posting stuff hastily as of last night when I went to bed. they had a blatant misspelling of "assassination" on their homepage.

it's not some grand scheme to make the situation look a certain way... they were just moving fast and producing shitty journalism.

The Teflon Don just keeps on tickin

Holy shit. Maybe the left should tone down their violent rhetoric!

Herein lies the problem.  BOTH sides partake in this rhetoric.  Can’t you see that?  This divide is not being perpetuated by libs or right wingers alone  it is BOTH.

I agree MAGA has been talking for two years about starting a second civil war and now today crying about the violent hate speech of the libs causing this
