    Trump will use it for his own gain and liberals will no doubt use it for gun control.

  3. When has Trump ever acted like Ronnie? Ever?

    There is even more to the story...Google Tip O'Neil...and you'll see that even Reagan understood compromise. Years of radio hate from Rush and Co have lead us to this point. Trump's mean tweets have only stoked the fires and anger. You reap what you sow. I do NOT condone violence as Ghandi once said...an eye for an eye leaves the world blind.

    Time for cooler heads...what will Trump do...we all know...

    His first statement was as good as we could hope for imo.

    Knowing Trump and his campaign, I wouldnt be surprised if they started every speech or rally with this:

    How is this a liberal thing? I don't see people cheering...

    It's a disgrace. But so are all the mass shootings that happen every week or so. Yeah, those same shootings that the NRA bought off Republicans blame on everything else...

    Yet low and behold it suddenly is something liberals, aka anti-gun people, should be ashamed of now?

    That's is some funny schtick you are saying. Hypocrisy at its finest.

    I agree.

    My 18 year old daughter texted me at dinner, just as my dad was calling to tell me. I guess it was just as it happened. She asked me if I thought it may humble him.

    I said, sadly I doubt it, but we can hope.

    Oh yeah, those MAGA psychos really took that "toning down the rhetoric" to heart:

    I don't think they'd aim for his ear if that were the case. I wouldn't be surprised, though, if the shooter was one of these right-wing dopes that "want to start a new civil war" and thought shooting Trump was the best way to do it.

    Trump gets accused at veiled language all the time (and probably justifiably), but Biden used a bad term in today's climate and it will bite him in the butt in retrospect.

    And insinuating it is a scripted as you just did above, isnt exactly toning it down either.

    I don't think it will be him.

    It will be some of the idiots in his party plus others on the right.

    Even if he didn't personally write it, he authorized it to be posted. Just calling it like I see it.

    So the media and liberals have been calling him Hitler, an existential threat to democracy and numerous other outrageous things which caused some lunatic to try and shoot him. And the takeaway is hopefully Trump doesn't fan the flames or pour gas on the fire.....geez.

    I am not insinuating, I am flat out stating that the entire thing was planned and staged.
    There is no doubt that the same party that invented stolen elections, pizza restaurants where children are sacrificed, science deniers and Watergate most definitely is behind this sham with the aide of their Russian allies and co-conspirators.

    Fine. Just don't call for others to tone down the rhetoric when you are ramping it up. That's all.

    They planned to only shoot his ear? That's pretty freaking risky for a false flag. This is crazy talk man.

    Dude, leave him alone. He is trying to tone down the rhetoric. Keep up for God's sake.

    It was a head shot plain and simple, Trump just happened to turn his head and lean a bit forward at the last second.

    May be one of the luckiest guys alive.
