Trump assassination attempt unlikely to have lasting political impact, observers say


Trump assassination attempt unlikely to have lasting political impact, observers say
The bullet that former president Donald Trump said grazed his right ear was one of dozens aimed at U.S. presidents, presidential candidates and other prominent elected officials over nearly 200 years.
But Saturday’s assassination attempt, while shocking, is unlikely to have significant political or economic reverberations given the makeup of the American democratic system and the fact that it didn’t involve an incumbent head of state, researchers say.

1. Teleprompter breaks on Speaker, so he just left.
2. Ron Johnson gave the wrong incendiary speech because they loaded the wrong one in the teleprompter.
 3. Trump shows up with a Kotex on his ear. 
4. Trump publicly naps in middle of it. - Nancy Lee Grahn

MSNBC is unlistenable right now, unless you want to believe Trump has been “humbled” by recent events. Mainstream media refuses to accept the obvious fact that a fascist movement is plotting to overthrow our democracy. - Mark Jacob









So, The Secret Service Knew This And Still Did A Lousy Job
U.S. intelligence received information in recent weeks indicating an Iran-backed plot to assassinate Donald Trump, which led to increased security around the former president. CNN reported that “there’s no indication that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassin who attempted to kill the former president on Saturday, was connected to the plot, the sources said.”

What A Typical Republican Weenie Excuse
Despite calls for softer political rhetoric in the wake of Donald Trump’s attempted assassination over the weekend, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) did not hold back when he spoke at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee on Monday, slamming Democratic policies as a “clear and present danger” to America...Asked by PBS News host Amna Nawaz about why he had said Democratic policies are a “clear and present danger” to America, Johnson said: “That speech was written last week.” He added that “they literally loaded the wrong speech” into the teleprompter.

Watch Biden's full news conference from last night defying calls for him to drop out




President Biden, in a solo press conference Thursday night, said he's staying in the presidential race in order to "finish the job" he...




I’ve lost all faith in the media. It’s consolidated and mostly owned by “conservative” fascists who probably visited Epstein Island. - ivanastaircam









The World Is A Safer Place Without Trump








Trump is getting a free pass just like he did in 2016.  No way he could do a press conference for 40 minutes after 3 long days with world leaders.  He is incoherent most of time when he’s not spewing bile. Its sickening. - Karen Finney









John Bolton is more dangerous than Trump. El Pais wrote an article about him 2 years ago when he admitted being involved in some coups -- click here for the English version 









SHOCKER: CNN Analyst Showers Biden With Praise
CNN analyst and longtime Democratic strategist Paul Begala gushed about President Joe Biden’s performance at a press conference, praising Biden’s “mastery” and calling it a “tour de force and a tour of the world!”



“I’ve spent more time with Xi Jinping than any other president,” says Biden, before adding “And by the way I handed in my notes.”

That, a reference to Trump infamously keeping the notes from one of his conversations with Putin. - Jim Sciutto, CNN









Republican Shenanigans



The constant piling on of Biden day after day is not having the intended effect many hoped for.  He stood there and talked about policy details in ways Trump never has in his entire life at any age. - Adam Parkhomenko








If Texas Was On The National Power Grid, All Of Texas Would Have Power










Donald Trump was in clear cognitive decline for four years in the White House.

David Axelrod Is A Danger To The Democratic Party
Veteran Democratic Party strategist David Axelrod warned after President Joe Biden’s Thursday night press conference that it sounded like “ Biden’s team has not been very candid with him” about his current political standing.








President Biden has been in politics for 50 years. 

There will come a time when his service to this country will end - specifically in about 4 and a half years. 

He will go down as the man that single handedly blocked the strongest push to fascism America has ever encountered. - justcuuper
