Quote ©Gilbert Doctorow, 2024

 

"I freely acknowledge that the most relevant point which I raised when I spoke of gross negligence of the authorities responsible for Former President Trump’s security, namely the failure to deploy drones for overhead supervision of the event, came from the remarks of a security expert on CNN that I listened to over breakfast.

 

As the day has progressed, CNN coverage seemed to move in another direction, towards discussion of the overall political tensions and polarization in the U.S. which made such an attack possible.

 

However, to my knowledge no one in Western mainstream media is going beyond generalities and pinning down the specifics calls for Trump to be ‘stopped’ and even to ‘be shot’ because he is a threat to American democracy, as Biden has said repeatedly and thoughtlessly on the campaign trail.

 

The question of whether Trump had previously requested more from the Secret Service was raised by our media during the day and then dismissed.  However, no one mentioned the repeated refusal of Biden to name a security team to candidate Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.

 

This is utterly outrageous given the murder of his father in the midst of campaigning decades ago.

 

A country that has thrown away 175 billion dollars to keep the neo-Nazi regime in Kiev in power seems to fret over the few million it would take to keep its own elections safe"

What is the problem?

 

If Robert F Kennedy Jr truly believes that he needs security, why does he not hire and pay for it himself.

Really?

 

According to the BBC news website, this

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3gw58wv4e9o

 

"State voter records show that he was a registered Republican, according to US media.

 

He is also reported to have donated $15 to liberal campaign group ActBlue in 2021.
 

He had a membership at a local shooting club, the Clairton Sportsmen's Club, for at least a year.

 

Law enforcement officials believe the weapon used to shoot at Donald Trump was purchased by Crooks' father, the Associated Press news agency reports.

 

Speaking on condition of anonymity, two officers told AP that Crooks' father bought a weapon at least six months ago."

 

Perhaps you should revise where you get your news reports from.

Anybody with an IQ of over 78 understands that that was said as a metaphor, we're talking about a political bullseye, Biden is simply not the type of man to suggest and assassination, and conservatives are playing out that angle with no justification, and frankly it's rather pathetic. 

 

It is something that I would expect from Trump and that kind of behavior would not surprise me in the least coming from him, however many of his supporters are very decent people, and they should not stoop to the level of their political choice for president. 

 

We can do this thing and get a president elected, while still maintaining some semblance of dignity. More and more division does not benefit anybody.

At least you're accepting he said it, unlike our resident pedant. 

 

However he meant it, such poorly worded rhetoric is totally inappropriate in the current climate and could easily be misinterpreted by the violent Antifa/BLM types, he needs to tone it down.

 

If Trump had said such a thing everyone would be claiming it was a call for assassination and a threat to Democracy etc etc. Biden says it and it's no worries, just a metaphor, nothing to see here. The double standards are astounding.

Qui Bono (who benefits?)

 

Anyone with 2 brain cells to rub together knows that Biden was by far the biggest beneficiary of an assasinated Trump.

 

The Republicans would have had no choice but to put Nikki Hayley up as the candidate, who would have been so toxic to Republican voters that many wouldn't bother getting out of bed on election day let alone go and vote. That would hand Biden an almost 100% certain victory.

 

Also having just watched a video of an interview with an ex FBI Hostage Release Team sniper who knows  ALL the protocols of these situations, stated that this assassin would have had no chance getting so close to Trump (143 yards) with a long gun without lots of help from high ups... In fact with all the security sweeps involving hundreds of agents and law enforcement, that location would have been locked down so tight that a fly wouldn't get through un-noticed for a 500 yard perimeter let alone 143 yards.

 

Also, the counter-sniper that took out the shooter had already had the guy in his sights and waited for him to shoot a number of times before neutralizing him with a perfect shot through the mouth taking out the brain stem... Which shows he already had his scope adjusted for that precise distance.

 

Like I said Qui Bono???

Russia Blames Biden Administration for Atmosphere Leading to Trump Attack
 

Well, yeah.  "Trump Is Hitler; Trump Will End Democracy As We Know It; Trump Will Be A Dictator!
Somebody Please!!!  Do Something About Trump Before It's Too Late."

And all the hatred and vitriol aimed at Trump ended with an assassination attempt on his life.  That rhetoric has consequences and the people calling for "someone to do something about Trump" should be held accountable.
If you didn't notice, the Biden Administration and the DNC just pulled all their negative "Trump Is Hitler" hate ads as there will no doubt be repercussions coming.  Standby!

The Kremlin issued a statement addressing the recent assassination attempt on U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania. Although Russia does not believe the U.S. administration orchestrated the attack, it accuses the Biden administration of creating an environment that incited such violence. Trump was shot in the ear during the rally, and the incident is being investigated as an assassination attempt. The attacker was killed, and law enforcement officials have yet to determine a motive.

 

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified Russia's stance, stating, "We do not believe that the attempt to eliminate and assassinate Trump was organized by the current authorities." However, he added, "But the atmosphere around candidate Trump...provoked what America is confronting today." This sentiment echoes the accusations from some of Trump's Republican allies, who also blame President Biden for the attack.

 

President Biden condemned the attack, stating there is no place for such violence in America. Peskov also condemned violence in the political arena, aligning with Russia's official stance. "After numerous attempts to remove candidate Trump from the political arena - using first legal tools, the courts, prosecutors, attempts to politically discredit and compromise the candidate - it was obvious to all outside observers that his life was in danger," Peskov remarked. Despite the gravity of the situation, he noted there were no plans for President Vladimir Putin to call Trump.

 

The assassination attempt has elicited reactions from world leaders, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who condemned the attack, denounced political violence, and wished Trump a speedy recovery. In the wake of the shooting, Russia's foreign ministry seized the opportunity to criticize U.S. policies, urging Washington to halt funding for Ukraine's military and instead focus on improving domestic law enforcement.

 

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented on Telegram, responding to independent presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr.'s remarks following the shooting. She wrote, "Dear Bobby and all those who vote in the United States to supply Zelenskiy with arms, wouldn't it be better for this money to finance the American police and other services that are supposed to ensure law and order within the United States?" This statement highlights the ongoing tension between Russia and the West, exacerbated by Moscow's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, which has plunged relations to their lowest point since the Cold War.

 

When asked about the potential impact of the Trump attack on the legitimacy of the upcoming U.S. election, Peskov responded, "It is not for us to judge. We have not the slightest desire to interfere. This is a U.S. matter." This careful phrasing underscores Russia's intention to distance itself from any direct involvement while still commenting on the broader implications of the attack on the political climate in the United States.

Of course, now that Peskov and Zakharova have made statements, the DNC and the Biden Administration will shift from "Trump Is Hitler" to "Trump Is A Russian Agent And Putin's Best Friend."  Then the next assassination attempt will probably be from someone who is Pro-Ukrainian and felt the need to stop "Trump Is Putin (who is Hitler and Stalin) before he has a chance to take office and "end the war in Ukraine."

I don't expect the Trump-hate-speech to be dialed back very much.  And now that the cat is out of the bag I sort of expect another attempt on his life as the US Secret Service seems to have serious security lapses and the "Trump Must Be Stopped At Any Cost" crowd now has a second chance to make a successful hit, especially now that "Trump Is Stalin!" 

Pretty da*m sad imho.

Trump may just be what the world needs to prevent WWIII.

 

Stick with me on this .....

 

I'm not a red hat wearing Trump fan, but let's be honest, the Ukrainian people have suffered terribly due to the NATO and EU expansion plans (and yes, Russia had their plans too) but we did kinda poke the hornets nest with a long stick.

 

Now nether side will back down, but with no end plan at all.

 

If Trump is mates with Putin, and they can agree NATO will not expand further East in return for peace, then that must be better for the Ukrainian people than the current tragic situation.

 

Just a glance at a map of Europe would show you why Paranoid Putin got spooked .... yes Sweden and Finland make sense for NATO, but Ukraine is a long way into the East.

 

Biden is too committed to back down, Europe is on the fence, with Hungary well on the Russian side, and the UK will always want a good fight .... with anyone, but the current situation looks to have no way out.  Perhaps a newly elected and battled-scarred leader of the free world is the answer?

I believe that ex-Secret Service agent Dan Bongino will be weighing in with an analysis later today (Monday).  That should be informative as well. The complete lapse of security by the US Secret Service stinks to high heaven.  Something is seriously wrong with this fiasco.

That's being discusses ad nauseum in other threads.  The kid's 20 years old, donated to the Dems, and he registered Repub. 

 

Not unlike thousands of Dems who saw that a vote in the Dem primary was wasted, so they registered Repub just to vote against Trump.

 

His parents aren't registered Repubs, so maybe he's just rebelling against them.  Or maybe he's a RINO, or one of the many Never-Trump Repubs.

 

Basically, meaningless.

 

And it's common practice for Dems to register as Republicans in order to vote against Trump in the state primaries.  He voter registration status mean little or nothing. 

I mean really - Liz Cheney is a Republican.  She despises Trump.

We already had Russiagate V 5.0 last week, despite Putin saying he would ratrher have Biden in office because Trump is unpredictable.

 

Even though they completely ignore the actual election meddling country is Israel... In fact Israel owns most of the politicians across the entire west.

It is/was so obvious ever since! How come Trump was so "blind" not to say "dumb" to invite her to his team? Nikamundra-acha shouldn't be allowed to leave her papa-mama shop (Although her father became a professor). Disaster at UNGA, less creepy than Powell-chick, but that's different story of Biden and his creepy minions.

I doubt he is/was blind or dumb... He's just another neo-con puppet who knows he had to give his handlers something... Hence, Hayley, Bolton and Pompeo... Trump is the great pretender who has all the MAGA lot completely fooled.
