No political figure has ever stoked as much violence as Trump. He’s supported neo nazis, undermined our elections, and stoked violence against his own VP and political candidate. So no, I don’t feel any sympathy for him. What goes around comes around.



+1000. If you threaten military tribunals for your opponents, what should you expect? Trump had an opportunity to be a unifying force in American culture but took the low road every time.


Plus 2,000

Nope. See Scalise’s tweet. Already trying to frame the Democrats as violence mongers for saying that Trump is a threat to democracy. Republicans always, always have weird spins on this kind of thing that always, always absolves them of responsibility.


Scalise condemning violent rhetoric…is violent? What weird spin is this?!

This guy and his friends saw him climbing on the roof with a rifle and tried to warn police and SS.

It’s a white guy. He’s dead.


Live tv just said he is of Chinese descent.

Is that a verified account? Probably just more Republican conspiracy stoking.

Uhh yeah. SS is a clown show.


The protective detail on the ground reacted with commendable speed, tackled the President, protected him with their bodies (they left an opening at one point going down the stairs, so they get a demerit for that).

The counterattack force in tactical gear responded in time and appropriately.

BUT. The big problem were the security perimeter and the safety checks: they proved to be grossly inadequate. The perimeter should be larger, and clearly they missed a roof. This needs to be remedied ASAP for future rallies of candidates.

This location was easily secured, not a complex urban space. The shooter was on a clear white roof with what looks like one of the few (maybe only) sightline.


+100%


I entirely agree that this is a security failure. The Secret Service is held to high standards, but as we've seen in multiple crisis situations, including Jan 6, it's comprised of human beings who aren't perfect.


Aren’t a lot of them just drunk philandering cops with multiple girlfriends in various cities?

Biden folks withheld resources to the detail and they are saying they did the best they could with the limits they had.
