Thanks Miles and you're 100% spot on. Trump, his Cabinet and others should never have been invited to the dinner in the first place in my opinion as they're all trying to get rid of the Freedom of the Press
This is not about Donnie, it's about us. We heard of another horrible, terrible, no-good 'attempt on the life of the President' and we, not giving a fat rat's ass, shrugged. We don't even seem to care if it was staged or not. That's the thing that's new, Miles. He's now forced to ratchet up his atrocities in an effort to upset us into paying attention to him. And it's not working.
Donald Trump is mentally and morally incapable of uniting the country. He trives on chaos and disorder. He uses the chaos to justify his attempts to subvert of suspend, in whole or in part, the Constitution. He gaslight continuously to confuse people about what is going on. Our best bet is to assume he is lying until proven differently.
That’s what I do. I can never believe a word he says without solid proof. Trump hates everything and everyone who doesn’t agree with him and everything he does or doesn’t do. Cannot wait until he is out of the Whitehouse and our lives for good.
WE can never tell if we are getting a truthful statement from this regime. And I"m not really certain this was a genuine attempt at assassination. I don't lean toward conspiracy theories, but this is rather smelly.
Thank you Miles…Trump hates the press, our First Amendment rights, along with every other protection provided by our Constitution. The Saturday night “attempt” will only energise the attacks on the rights we have held dear for almost 250 years! Every day the danger to our country seems to increase even more!
My husband frequently says, "This too shall pass." I guess it will, eventually; but enduring the active thrashing of our democracy is unbelievably painful!
Count me among those who believe the entire thing was staged. It’s a distraction from things like the plundering of our country and the impending pardon pf Ghislaine Maxwell. If we move past the noise we’ll notice things like the sale of our natural resources to foreign countries.
Pretty funny that all he’s getting is the big yawn though. I’m sure his fragile ego is reeling!
Normally, (though what is normal any longer is up for debate) I would be glued to the TV to get the latest news about such an event taking place but that keen interest was decidedly lacking for some reason. I tuned in a while after the event & decided to watch trump's address to the nation. When he got to the advertisement for his goddam ballroom I switched back to the B movie I was watching on Netflix.
I do not condone violence political or otherwise but I find it rich that trump is now condemning the violence that he himself generates in his not so subtle messaging about fighting like hell to keep our country, or telling his crowd that he would pay for attorneys if his supporters roughed up protestors at his rallies. (As an aside~~~sure he'd pay for attorneys for someone else! He doesn't pay his own damn attorneys why would anyone believe he'd hire any for them. But I digress.)
The only First Amendment he supports is his right to slander, berate, threaten & ruin people he doesn't like otherwise it's treason or terrorism.
It really does say something about how trump has undermined trust throughout society so much so that when things like this occur a group of individuals immediately jumps to the thought that he orchestrated the attack. I have to admit, I have all that I can do to stop considering that myself. The fact that he has destroyed trust in such a massive scale may actually be the worst thing he has done. Don't get me wrong that position is tied by corruption & incompetence but we can rid ourselves of the last two crimes much easier than getting our trust back. And that is definitely reflected by our one time allies that now are certain that the US is not a trustworthy partner in anything!
I can understand the president's pique about Nora's reading of the WHCD shooter's 'manifesto'. It is heartening to see that he considers accusations of pedophilia derogatory. Now if he would release the Epstein files we could put this business to rest.
Trump has produced the distrust of him by the electorate that he deserves. All narcissists, especially malignant narcissists, will fight any inconvenient fact or truth that contradicts their agenda or deluded self-image. By nature, they are unreasonable. We will simply keep doing what we have been doing as peaceful dissenters with all the avenues available to us. We grow the movement through persistence and sanity.
Oh, Miles. I read the first line, "A deranged man attacked the WHCD..." and thought you meant 47. All on board with the regime sidelining the First Amendment. After the firing of the twenty-two members of the National Science Board on Friday, I see a purge of the educated people in this country. But the People are not stupid. Time to make none of these sycophants comfy.
This is the same man who laughed at Paul Pelosi’s nearly fatal attack, who applauded the death of Robert Mueller, who ignored the assassination of Melissa Hortman and her husband, who defended thugs who beat and killed Capital Police, who tells followers he’ll pay their attorneys fees if they beat the hell out of someone. The hypocrisy of him and his followers is utterly breathtaking. I continue to hear democrats and never-Trumpers state emphatically that they do not condone violence in any form. Apparently, violence is only okay if it’s committed in the name of Trump and his MAGA followers.
Thanks Miles: Spot on. Yes the first amendment must be preserved and protected. I imagine it is the first amendment because without it the other amendments mean very little. Lets put the ballroom in the closet for now. According to sources, Cole Allen hated pedophiles , rapists and traitors so he armed himself, headed for the dinner and was shut down rather quickly. I think he wanted to shoot those vile folks. All the more reason to release the Epstein files and hold the slime to account.
Miles, I appreciate both you and Zander. Trump targeting free speech, the constitution and journalism should not be tolerated even for a moment. The true "enemy of the people" is Trump, his cabinet, all his sycophants, and fellow wealthy people who both support and egg him on just so they can hold onto to more money. The amount of wealth being made now because of this POTUS is disgusting given the amount of programs he's cut.
Where, oh where, have the rest of the Epstein files gone??? So far the DOJ has been so delinquent in revealing the rest of the information since Congress passed the law with a deadline of December for full disclosure, nada. Then, Trump starts an illicit war against Iran supposedly for the enriched uranium which we were assured was destroyed in the Dec. foray. Now, another assassination attempt that barely got through the front door. Something's amiss!!!???

I hope it is. His fragile ego is his and our biggest problem.

Sad state of affairs!

The freaks surrounding the dementing wannabe dictator-king think they have their Reichstag fire moment.
Up to you, my US friends, to not let the voughts and the millers rape what is left of your government, your law system.
