    5 assassination teams after Trump? I'm pretty sure Mayorkas hoped 1 would be successful

    Deleted after pressure but Elon rallying the violent right to stop shooting at their own and to start shooting at Harris and Biden.

    I guess the Jewish people in NY really love themselves some Trump/hitler since polling shows Trump leading 54/44 among Jewish people. But I'm sure all those Jewish people are idiots...

    As far as the preferences of Jewish voters nationally this poll is probably much more accurate. NEW JEWISH VOTER POLL: Harris 72 vs. Trump 25

    As far as the linked poll in post from @gator95 is concerned although the poll may be accurate it's probably reflective of the large enclaves of ultra Orthodox Jewish communities in New York State, one in a Brooklyn and another in upstate New York. They probably support Trump over Harris by at least an 80%-20% margin. I'm fairly that the results do not represent the Jewish community nationally especially considering Trump's affinity for neo-Nazis.

    The House unanimously passed a bill increasing protection for Trump along with a complete review of president, vice president, and candidates running for president.

    House Unanimously Votes to Increase Trump's Secret Service Protection (townhall.com)

    The bill is now off to the senate and then to the president for his signature. This should be quick unless somebody tries to attach the bill with BS on gun control that doesn't belong in such a straight up bill.

    On Friday, the House unanimously voted to increase former and potentially future President Donald Trump's Secret Service protection. The Enhanced Presidential Security Act received a vote of 405-0. The bipartisan bill was introduced by Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Ritchie Torres (D-NY), who came up with the bill after the first assassination attempt against Trump in July. The second attempt, just over two months later, happened on Sunday.

    Such a bill provides the same USSS protection for the president, vice president, and candidates running for that office.

    "Sadly, it has become necessary for Congress to get involved, and before this bill could even be VOTED on, a SECOND attempt to kill former President Trump occurred," Lawler posted over X shortly before the vote when sharing his interview with Fox News.

    The interview highlighted the bipartisan support for the legislation, while also including clips of Democrats continuing to insist Trump is a "threat to democracy." Lawler noted that "everybody needs to tone it down," on the rhetoric, calling it "ridiculous" that Trump is considered such a threat. He also called out the Democrats for replacing President Joe Biden with Vice President Kamala Harris after "gaslight[ing] the nation about Joe Biden's cognitive abilities," adding, "you can't really talk about threats to democracy when you do that."

    LOL. So surprising that the Jewish Democratic Council of America would have a "poll" saying those numbers. Seriously? Thanks for the Friday afternoon funnies.

    Just out of curiosity have you actually discussed the election of any Jewish voters? Other than my wife's sister and her husband who are also big fans of Benjamin Netanyahu none of the Jewish voters that I know will be voting for Trump including a friend of ours who voted for George W. Bush twice, John McCain and Mitt Romney.

    American Jews aren't a single bloc when it comes to politics. The more orthodox sects are more aligned with Netanyahu and more likely to be Trump supporters. More reformed Temple members to those line me, not religious but identify culturally as Jewish support Harris in greater numbers. In the US, more reformed and non-religious than orthodox.

    A interesting poll, that’s a big swing. However the point has never been trump wants to attack Jewish folk. the questions have generally been are trumps speech and authoritarian inclinations comparable? It probably needs its own thread for debate on trump vs hitler.

    Did you take a poll? Bizarre that you know who everyone is voting for. Here's a recent poll showing strong Jewish support for Harris.

    Thats quite the leap. You know what he meant. Definitely in poor taste but I think you're being intellectually dishonest on purpose. There's no difference between this and someone on the other side posting a wildly biased and inaccurate article or opinion thats easily debunked by common sense.

    Crooks was a registered Republican who identified as a Democrat and donated to Democrats. He was radicalized by violent anti-Trump rhetoric coming from Democrats

    Considering the threat level and our open borders Trump wasn't given enough SS protection. It's as if they wanted him dead:
