One thing I don't get is, why didn't people get down? Even after the security where all over Trump people were still just standing. Was it shock or what?
Possibly... if they're of that sort of immature mindset.
I guess the gunshots had stopped by then and getting down in a crowd does not seem that safe either. You probably wanna be upright to hear what’s going on even if you can’t see it. This wasn’t a multiple shooters from multiple angles kind of thing.
‘Our’?Biden had lost before this. He’s lost even more bigly now. Our best hope is Trump’s conspiraloon army takes the country to civil war before then.

not that those who don't shouldn't feel concerned eitherHopefully not. Some of us have friends and family there.
That's why you're hoping America doesn't have a civil war? Seriously?Hopefully not. Some of us have friends and family there.
Coming over like Kid Eternity nowShots were coming from different angles, with the snipers getting in on the act
UncannyThe most surprising part of the assassination attempt, I found, was learning that Beaker from the muppets was an eyewitness and is a MAGA supporter.

This in spades.People are saying some particularly stupid things today
I dunno. Whilst I think it's much more likely that it was a real attempt, I wouldn't be that surprised if it turned out at some point to have been completely staged, with no bullets involved.
(I post this assuming that the family and friends of the victim in the crowd are not likely to be reading urban.)
Hopefully not. Some of us have friends and family there.
Sigh. That's such a silly question from an otherwise intelligent poster.That's why you're hoping America doesn't have a civil war? Seriously?
You want Trump to win?‘Our’?

Trump shooting back would have been the ultimate MAGA move.
of course not.You want Trump to win?

Actually agree with morgan here. WTF is Biden on about this time...
The most recent polls have Trump neck and neck with whoever the Dems put against him. It's very likely that this election's result will come down to who most effectively gets their vote out in a handful of swing states, as it did the last two times.They’re only as long as they are because the bookie is trying to balance petee’s bets on Biden.
Im sure we can be assured that Trump will respond with his usual statesman like dignity and gravitas in order to calm the situation ...
Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening.
We will fear not, but instead remain resilient in our faith and defiant in the face of wickedness. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families.
We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed.
In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand united, and show our true character as Americans, remaining strong and determined, and not allowing evil to win.
I truly love our country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our great nation this week from Wisconsin. DJT
Trump is a wannabe fascist dictator whose ambitions were to an extent thwarted by a functioning system last time. Even so, he managed to stack the courts in his favour (his biggest legacy), cut taxes for the rich and wreck environment legislation. The slack for this last point was taken up by many states on their own initiative, and I'd expect that to happen again.I made some facetious comments about wanting Trump to die - and the truth is I don't know. There are potentially some very serious consequences to him being elected. Could he try and change the constitution and give himself further terms (genuine question - inform me), take the US down the line of being something like a theocracy or fascist-adjacent state, lock up rivals, make women's and minorities' lives very difficult, do disgusting things to immigrants?
If so, maybe a bullet in the head the least worse option. Or not, because as another poster said unintended consequences can bite very hard.
What do you think - all hyperbole removed?
Not really sure what you’re on about.of course not.
doubling down on the idiocy i see
