    I get that the left and right are running away from claiming this nut job, but this sounds like he was taking the Left's talking points to heart if this is true. Both sides have amped up the rhetoric and some crazy people are listening to it.

    Well, this non-story took the heat off of all the bad Springfield news for Trump and Vance.

    Notice how every story reported about this wants you to believe Trump was shot at when the guy was 5 football fields away from him and never pulled a trigger.

    Also, it's curious that out of nowhere Trump rambled on about AK-47s at his last rally and this guy had one. This whole thing sounds more fake than prior ear tampon event.

    When Democrats say they want to "save our democracy" they mean they want to save THEIR democracy. They want to make normal patriotic Americans live in the USSR. They wants to censor us. Save the Deep State oppressors that take away our rights and throw us into.gulags. they kept Bobby Kennedy Jr off the ballot because they love democracy. They believe in Soviet-style show trials. They want to bankrupt their enemies. Their leaders essentially murdered the American journalist Gonzalo Lira because he spoke truth to power. Incendiary rhetoric, RussiaGate hoaxes andthe insurrection hoax played a role in the assassination attempts on Trump. Listen to the liberal "confession by projection," all on 1 show:

    I don't know about the CIA involvement crap either, but the face was a coincidence, don't you think?

    If that face is of the perpetrator, you have to look at that in a Critical Thinking way, yes. But I am not agreeing with the whole premises in the tweet, but just that it is a coincidence. I am NOT suggesting collusion by Black Rock and the CIA, either.

    Thinking Trump is dangerous and anti-democratic isnt crazy. Thinking he isnt is crazy. The right should take a page out of the left's playbook and simply vote Trump out of power like the dems did in 2018, 2020, and 2022. Youre welcome.

    Definitely him. I'll grant you it is a WEIRD coincidence. Maybe we are in a game simulation?

    Trump was playing in Palm Beach and not at Maralago. How did this guy know Trump would be playing there and what his tee time was?

    Too true. Even if this person were a lifelong democrat with a rainbow tattoo and a pendant with Harris’ picture in it, it wouldn’t mean that marijuana should be illegal or that Harris supports murder. These little games are meaningless.

    Angry white guys into conspiracy theories + owning guns is Republican policy in 2024 (and for like the last 3 decades), seems like a policy win, why arent you all celebrating it?

    This tweet says things that I have NO proof of ever seeing corroborated with other credible sources of information. But it is interesting enough to post.

    I'm in the middle so yes, the rhetoric about trump being hitler is so over the top it's ridiculous. trump is saying dumb shit also hence why I said both sides need to tone it down. I get why you think it's only one sided. You are hyper-partisan. Just own it.

    Ryan Routh: What we know about the man detained in connection with second Trump assassination attempt | CNN

    Routh also has ties to North Carolina, where public records show he registered as an “unaffiliated” voter without a party in 2012. He voted in that state’s Democratic primary in March of this year, according to public records.

    Ryan Routh, Trump assassination suspect, had complex history (usatoday.com)

    The same records show Routh voted most recently in the March primary election this year in Guilford County, North Carolina. A registered Democrat, he voted in person.
