Best take I've seen so far in regards to Trump's assassination attempt.

1. long but true

[BlueWavePsych]

39. GOP terrorist vs GOP terrorist ...

[BSDemon]

2. She forgot to mention when Biden's bus was tailgated. That was a murder attempt

[Pinback]

15. Neither Biden nor Harris were on the bus, but there was an organized attempt to harass campaign staffers in Texas

Details:

And of course Trump claimed that his supporters protected the bus!

The video below has a detailed report on this and other incidents. I have a queasy feeling that they’ll be trying worse this time around.

[Quiet Em]

3. oh hell, yeah. She said it ALL.

She speaks for me.

[forgotmylogin]

33. I'd have more sympathy if he behaved like a normal shooting victim.

If they'd rushed him out of there and he'd gone quickly and seemed concerned, but the moment his adrenaline kicked in he was poised for the "tough guy gets shot but survives" photo op.

He and the MAGAts are going to blame this on "democrat rhetoric" but that's projection as Democrats aren't sending out ads with cross-hairs over people's faces and talking about "the coup will be bloodless...if they allow it" type of shit.

4. All this

5. Kick

[MagickMuffin]

6. @Danasinspired if on TicToc go and start following

She is sensible and lays it all out!

[Jeebo]

7. That is a great rant.

Who is she? She is really clever, entertaining, articulate, personable, and SANE. (Merely sane used to be a low bar, but given the level of political discourse in the past few years, sane now has become a high bar.) She should run for something. I would sure vote for her.

I especially like her name for the orange con man. She calls him Orangina Pervalicious Felonious Schlumper McPhee. I love that! (The closed captioning says she said Felonia, but I think she said Felonious.) I get Orangina, Pervalicious and Felonious, but I'm trying to figure out Schlumper and McPhee. Whatever, I love it! I call him the orange con man, one of the regular callers on Thom Hartmann's show calls him Agent Orange (I love that one too), one frequent poster here on DU calls him that orange thing, but Orangina Pervalicious Felonious Schlumper McPhee gets my award for the best one.

50. There was a song (on Capt Kangaroo) ...

… about a Scottish squirrel
Its repeating chorus included the squirrel’s name:
“Angus McFergus McTavish Dundee“

Wonder if Boston Small’s name for TSF harkens back to that?

[onetexan]

8. Damn she's good! Spread this one far and wide!!!

[NoMoreRepugs]

9. Awesome.

[Solly Mack]

10. And there it is.

[aka-chmeee]

11. Mike Collins said Biden ordered it?

Well, after all, he does have immunity.

[C Moon]

12. I'm sure one of the MAGA nuts in Congress

is going to cry out for an investigation into whether President Biden was involved.

[wnylib]

32. Almost guaranteed to happen.

I nominate MTG as the most likely to call for it first.

[Beck23]

18. Yes, Biden has immunity.

Thanks for pointing that out.

[misanthrope]

20. I thought SCOTUS reserved that determination to themselves

He might be one of the Orwellian animals who are "less equal."

[vapor2]

47. Good point!!

[Shoonra]

13. Wretched captioning

Whoever did the captioning on this bit of Twitter needs to go back to junior high. Really dumb mistakes in spellings and even choices of words.

[littlemissmartypants]

23. Most likely it's AI generated. I think the original is a tiktok that she posted to Twitter.

[SamKnause]

14. I have zero empathy or sympathy for fascists trying to destroy this country.

[keithbvadu2]

16. 1+

[Beck23]

17. What goes around comes around

That's a good definition of karma

Trump and his supporters have made death threats, doxxed people, and generally ruined lives of election officials, elected representatives, and anyone who dared testify against him in court.

Stormy Daniels is thinking if moving her family to Canada because of the death threats. What about the two election officials who had to move because of the threats?

[XanaDUer2]

27. Trump is the epitome of evil

Many lives have been destroyed by him. Hes a violent traitor and sex offender. I have zero concern or sympathy for him.

[Qutzupalotl]

19. The shooter was dead before the fist pump.

The SS knew he was no longer in imminent danger at that point.

Other than that, great rant.

[xocetaceans]

26. That does not exclude a second possible shooter waiting for a second chance. So, her analysis was not really far off.

It would have seemed more prudent for the Secret Service to have restrained Dirtbag Donnie from his desperate grasping at a campaign photo-op (lest it be a final, truly ugly one), to have treated the situation as completely unsecured, and then to have proceeded to a location which would have been known to be fully secured.

At the end of the day, Dirtbag Donnie might have learned how Mike Pence might have felt on Jan. 6. (That is doubtful, though. Trump is not strong on empathy.) After all, what was it that Trump said about Pence? Wasn't it "He deserves it [the hanging the crowds of Trumplodytes wanted to administer to Pence]" or something close to that? A rope or a bullet...there is not much of a difference after all is said and done. Both were assassination attempts, and Trump only cares about the one that involved him. Pence would have been just a politically expedient expendable on the way to an illegitimate second Trump term if Trump's insurrection had succeeded.

35. could be another shooter

otherwise why form shield around him at all?

[Farmer-Rick]

42. Exactly

You don't form a shield unless you think the (or a ) shooter is still active. It's difficult, slows escape and impedes access to medical care.

[Qutzupalotl]

43. The SS thought it was safe enough to move him

or they would not have done it. The shield is SOP after a shooting out of an abundance of caution, since, as you say, there could have been another shooter. But they assessed the situation and determined it was safe enough to proceed.

It's not that strange that Trump would mug for the cameras. I also don't find it strange that the SS lets him do what he wants, up to a point, J6 being a notable exception. (Imagine telling Trump “no.”)

[oasis]

21. More like this! nt

[Quixote1818]

22. This should be an ad! nt

[Martin68]

24. An excellent summary of why I have a hard time feeling sorry for Trump.

[chouchou]

25. Those would be my words if I were 247 percent cooler and well-spoken!

Bravo!

[SpankMe]

28. Great vid

And while all the things were going on that she's talking about, the left was NOT reciprocating with its own violent rhetoric.

[c-rational]

29. Thank you. K&R

[iluvtennis]

30. KnR. Excellent post. n/t

[Uncle Joe]

31. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread demmiblue

[nilram]

34. Excellent

[Kali]

36. is this on you tube?

pretty good

[patphil]

37. Ah yes, if only the Republicans weren't insane, and their candidate wasn't a narcissistic hate monger.

But then that's a fantasy. The truth is what it is, and it's so damn depressing.
Fear, anger, hatred, and violence rule in the crazy land of the Maga's..
And this is just one more expression of that crazy. We've got a long way to go.

[bhikkhu]

38. Looking at the wound, I've cut myself about that bad shaving

But I'm guessing there will be no end to crying about it.

Compassion should be reserved for the dead and wounded in the crowd maybe, who just went to participate in a political event, which is pretty important to be able to do safely in a democracy. Those guys didn't deserve it.

[mellow]

40. Man stirs up hornets' nest, gets stung.

Clearly the fault of folk criticizing him.

[Nimble_Idea]

41. PREACH. And 2nd amendment people

and killings in church....imagine their family values.

they have already lost any sympathy because they are gutter trash extremists.

[Cha]

44. Wow.. I finally was able to hear it

Brilliant!!

[Evolve Dammit]

45. Truth!

[LilElf70]

46. By far, the best yet

What a rocking video. The friggin truth, in all it's glory.

[3catwoman3]

48. "Mediocre men marinating in victimhood"

BAM! That’s some damn fine wordsmithing there.

[Easterncedar]

49. That says it all

I hadn’t thought about the picture being risky.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

[eppur_se_muova]

52. Damn, what's wrong with the volume ? Had to turn mine all the way up.

Then when that odd "ga-lunk" sounded at the end, it was at top volume.
