SHOTS FIRED !
BahdAzzButter
@BahdAzzButterOfficials believe the shots fired at Trump International Golf Club were intended for President Donald Trump, according to sources familiar on the matter (CNN) An AK-47 was discovered in the bushes, per local law enforcement. The Trump campaign has released a statement confirming former President Trump is safe. A suspect has reportedly been apprehended.
Here we go again.
What we're covering
Trump calling for unity and peace is hilarious.
He was pissed that it interrupted his golf game so he didn't realize what he was typing
Why does this keep happening?
Same reason we have school and church shootings.
It only takes one nutcase with a gun.
True. But what's the motive?...
We don't know that yet.
It could be that this person really wanted him dead and intended to make that happen.
It could be that this person wanted to scare him into dropping out of the race, and never actually intended to shoot him at all.
It could be that this person saw the boost he got in support the last time somebody tried to shoot Trump, and the whole thing was staged for sympathy votes.
It could be that this person is just deranged and not thinking straight.
Why are you asking me?
When considering the motive of assassins, consider the irrational motives of people like John Hinckley (Reagan) or Mark David Chapman (Lennon).
IMO anyone who is trying to assassinate someone is at least irrational and at worst insane.
I'll disagree here. I think some know perfectly well what they're doing, and that it's wrong and could end in their own deaths, but are willing to take that risk, anyway.
Martyrs?
Why not? Guns are 'everywhere.' May as well. . . use them. /s
stochastic terrorism
or perhaps-- Antediluvian terrorism?
Stochastic terrorism by Trump and Vance directed at Haitian immigrants is the cause of the bomb threats that occurred in Sprinfield, Ohio, this week.
The assassination attempt against Trump in Butler, PA, was the action of a publicity seeking registered Republican who was undoubtedly insane. No motive has been revealed yet for today's occurrence, although if it was actually directed at Trump, it is more likely than not much the same as the previous incident.
Any attempt to blame what may have happened today on Democrats would be nothing more than neo-Fascist propaganda.
Doesn't seem random to me...
Nor that...
How many assassination attempts have been made against Harris or Biden again?...
Just like the last shooter ,all of the wanna be assassin's donations were to democrats.
Irrelevant.
Why?
That comment is deceptively misleading and/or incoherent.
The "last shooter", Thomas Matthew Crooks, made a single $15 donation to Democrats through ActBlue at the age of 17. When he became old enough to register, he registered as a republican. Therefore, he did not make "donations", only a single donation, and to state "all of the wanna be assassin's donations", is deceptively misleading.
Furthermore, to state "Just like the last shooter" implies that the individual involved in today's occurence made donations to Democrats, which is also deceptively misleading. What proof is there at this time that the he made any donations to anyone? None.
Look for the facts. . .follow them where ever and to whomever 'they' lead. . . not a scapegoat!
What relevance is there that there are no reported assassination attempts against Biden or Harris?
It's certainly not relevant to the fact that Trump and Vance have been engaging in stochastic terrorism against Haitian immigrants.
It's not relevant to the fact that the Butler, PA, shooter was a registered Republican.
It's not relevant to the fact that no motive has yet been ascribed to today's incident.
And, it's not relevant to the fact that attempting to blame Democrats for today's events would be neo-Fascist propaganda.
So, you tell us. Why is it relevant?
Also, it is not relevant to the fact that the FBI have no motivation for the Butler PA shooter: Thomas Matthew Crooks.
Some people need to slow down their conjecturing to responsible levels! Lives are at stake when the rumor-mill gets involved and runs 'wild.'

Are you joking? I listed several reasons as to why it's not relevant to the comment you responded to.
For your information, "not relevant" means the same thing as "irrelevant".
Try again.
Read his opening question. Do you not see G2 acknowledge no reported assassination attempts against Biden or Harris?
We all know that no assassination attempts were made on Biden or Harris.
Make your point if you have one.

I provided clear and precise answers to your question, but apparently you don't like the answers, so now your latest comment is facetious trolling.
Because we have more guns than people. I have been in the vicinity of gunfire many times. So have lots of people - especially K-12 kids at school.
How many times has it actually happened?
(I can remember only 1 previous attempt--but possibly I missed some).
Reagan and JFK?
Nah, they were PotUS. Would have been Robert Kennedy.
Could it maybe-- just possibly-- be because Trump making statements that really piss people off?
'Cause he made a promise he swore he'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Hey!
According to NBC , the FBI is describing it as an attempted assassination, although there is some confusion as to whether any shots were actually fired in Trumps direction.
What I saw earlier was there was no assassination attempt - just that shots were fired near the golf course.
Donald Trump has now experienced as many assassination attempts as Kamala has experienced interviews.
She better get going if she wants to catch up, its still early.
Trump's stated attitude toward gun violence.
This is serious. In fact, it may call for even the most extreme actions!!!
(I speak, of course, of using the dreaded "Thoughts and Prayers" Gambit!)
So? Many of us have been in the vicinity of gunshots. It’s not a national crisis. Nothing in this reporting indicates there is any evidence that someone took a shot at Trump. And if merely being in the vicinity of guns or gun shots is so scary, then maybe we should get some bipartisan gun control, yeah?
Shots were fired at someone who appeared to be targeting Trump. It now seems that maybe all the shots were fired by law enforcement at the suspect. An AK47 with a scope was recovered in a place that could be described as a lair where the suspect could have gotten a good shot at Trump. The suspect was discovered before the Trump foursome had reached the hole where the suspect was waiting.
Discovered before?
Rings a bell-- wasn't that also the case with the prior attempt on his life (the time the bullet grazed his ear?)
In all seriousness, I am glad that a suspect is caught. Especially so before any other harm could be done to anybody, including Crooked Donald!
You seem to be in a minority among democrats. Blue anon claims it's a fake and others seem to have no problem with the gun replacing the ballot box, given the comments.
Imagine saying who cares when someone tries to kill a Presidential candidate... Some people seem to welcome violence, sadly.
I don't like Crooked Donald. But, nor will I sanction violence of any kind towards him (and wish he would not suggest/hint/imply it against others). On a potentially positive note: Maybe the do-nothing congress (some conservatives) will have 'notice' to get off their butts and hands - do-something about AK's.
And no, I wont' squander any of my time on Crooked Donald with sympathy for that man or his V. P. choice. I just don't think firing weapons at them is right in and of itself!
Yeah, and it is also illegal.
I wonder if Kamala will donate to the perp's bail fund, if he is given bail.
I wouldn't squander my time wondering about what a 'prosecutor' will do! Space is open for the last word.
Yes, I am aware of that.
Although it doesn't relate to my post.
Yup, gun shots in his vicinity now equates to an assassination attempt
So you will not believe that there have been attempts on Trump's life, verified by the Biden Admin. Justice Dept., but you will believe in the Steele Dossier and mythical pee tapes.
Morning... Oh crap...now our news will be full of it yet again..what a way to start the day...
At least this time they didn't have the Secret Service Fumbalenas on duty and one off breast feeding her baby...
For some reason that old saying third time lucky keeps resonating...
Because we are old enough to remember the saying: "The Third time is the charm." — Proverb. Additionally, the Bible says "3" is the representation of completeness. As in:
Feels like we won't have a shortage of idiots trying to do the job correctly.
This is serious: NO SYMPATHY VOTES for someone who does not deserve any of that!
What sympathy votes?????
Good! No sympathy should be rendered to gun supporters who won't lift a finger in voting to support a(ny) fix to the gun 'problem' in our country. The last word is available if somebody would like it.
I have trouble relating your post to mine.
Have a good night.
