God's Gift to the Right
We all witnessed a miracle, yesterday. Look at the bullet. You know it’s true. God has his hand on Trump. God is not done with America yet.

First let me say that our prayers are with the family of the person who was killed yesterday and the families of those who were injured. As many know and as the FBI has confirmed there was an assassination attempt on the former President. It took a long time find out exactly what happened after the FBI took over the case.

The shooter was killed and here is what we know:

Crooks was a registered Republican, according to voting records, but he only participated in the  Nov. 8, 2022, state election  due to his age. Records show he made a $15 donation to Progressive Turnout Project, a Chicago-based political action committee that supports Democrat candidates for public office and claims to advocate for "key Democratic constituencies: young people, minorities and low-income people."

Thomas Matthew Crooks identified as Donald Trump’s attempted assassin | Fox News

Those are the morning after statistics, but politically speaking this has really damaged the Biden campaign. Last night, for the first time Joe Biden publicly referred to the former President as "Donald" and later called him. There were millions of dollars in attack ads ready to roll against Donald Trump, but the Biden campaign has put a halt to them. The Biden campaign knows that all that would immediately backfire now. The demonizing of Donald Trump has come to an end and with it just about the last hope of anti-Trump democrats.

As Jane Fonda once said of the pandemic: " It is God's gift to the left", so can it also be said of an assassin's bullet, which barely missed its intended target being God's gift to the right.

He also donated to a liberal cause. Maybe he’s one of those dems that register as a repub to screw with repub primaries? So, get with the program, frost.

I don't know - it's looking more and more like a false flag attack

Not just sick loons on the internet are doing that today, but staffers of Democrats in Congress, FBI employees etc..

Al ot of Democrats and Progressives have  embraced violence to solve their political problems.  Their blood lust is sickening and creates a problem for the sane among us. Cheering for and then subsequently justifying an assassination attempt is about as low and un-American as you can go. The idea that people who do this are "better" than Trump is delusional.

And I would like to know why people expect other people to know the answer to this sort of thing, as if God sends out memos on everything He does or doesn't do. What He allows and doesn't allow. Do people explain all their actions to their pets? Would they understand even if you did? Do you have some obligation to explain yourself to them?

Apparently many on the right would answer that question "yes". 

I am asking why?  Is God a right wing Republican?  How can you say "we dont know" and then claim it is possible God loves Trump more than he loves 6 and 7 year old mass shooting victims. 

It makes very little to no sense.

God loves us all but that doesn't mean He won't allow bad things to happen if it serves His purpose. He allowed bad things to happen to his Son, for example. He isn't here to help us achieve our goals, He's here to help us achieve His. Therefore, our politics are only relevant to Him to the extend they serve His purposes. 

It makes very little to no sense.

To my mind, it makes much more sense than humanity's stumbling from one disaster to another because we think we know what needs to be done. That we are basically good and so, know what needs to be done and how to do it. History says otherwise.

I can't see that because it isn't there. The comment I made is literally the opposite of what you are claiming it says. There is no way, short of God actually telling us, whether God is taking a specific action or not, be it Trump or kids, or why He acts or doesn't act. Put another way, claiming that one has specific knowledge that God helped Trump or anyone else, or took some specific action (because whatever) is no more than a claim. A guess. 

How you can turn what you quoted into what you do is beyond me.

A Saturday Facebook post associated with a staff member of Mississippi's Democratic U.S. House Rep. Bennie Thompson seemed to support an assassination attempt on Former President Donald Trump.

The post has since been deleted but has drawn rapid ire from Mississippi Republicans.

Following the attack, Thompson's Case Manager and Field Director Jacqueline Marsaw's Facebook page had the following post:

"I don't condone violence but please get you some shooting lessons so you don't miss next time oops that wasn't me saying that," the post read.

So all they have left is their over the top dangerous political rhetoric against Trump and MAGA to try and stoke a fanatic to try and take Trump out. It took a while; but they finally found their nutjob it seems. Now many Democrats/leftists are pissed because the nutjob didn't get the job done. Their rhetoric will continue- maybe they can get a better trained and more capable nutjob for the next attempt.

Tragedy has become just another day in America.  We begin every morning with thoughts and prayers.  No peace in our time, inured to the need for grim determination, awaiting our turn on the firing line.  We've been told we're warriors for democracy but that reality is so very, very harsh.

Every prominent Democrat, including the President, has called for unity.  But Donald Trump is at the focal point of the unity.  Trump is the survivor and now Trump is the unifier.  How does the Biden campaign recover from this?   A chorus of but, but, but won't turn our gaze from the bloodied Trump, with fist raised, calling for us to fight on.  Warriors for democracy.  Warriors for the American way of life.  The RNC convention may well become a rally point for grim determination.  A sign of our times.

IMO it is really difficult to imagine a Joe Biden in this situation, standing bloodied but defiant, rallying his supporters to fight.  The Presidential moment, carefully staged, failed to comfort, failed to unify, failed to impress.

Our political season has turned topsy turvy in a moment.  Something must change.  Of that much the country is certain.  We don't know how, we don't know what, and we're not certain who but we now have a grim determination to see it through.  Another shot heard round the world has unleashed forces too big for political spin.  

Donald Trump had better rise on this tide or he will be washed out to sea along with the rest of us.  For Joe Biden it is too late; there aren't enough life lines to save him now.  Mr. Trump, we expect you to be a President and you damned well better deliver.  The country is now grimly determined that something has to change.  And our political system has left us no other choice.

Earlier this year Trump said there would be a "bloodbath" if he didnt win. When Democrats complained they were told "bloodbath"  has a second meaning unrelated to violence. 

Now we are told that "bullseye" only means Biden was encouraging violence against Trump.   But bullseye has secondary definitions 

"We hit the bullseye on our targeted earnings projections".

An honest democrat who blamed palin or the tea party would blame Biden.  But again, that would take someone who is honest and principled.
