Somebody actually took a shot at Trump
Although the audio on sky was good enough to hear one of the agents shouting "shooter down" guess he won't be doing that again.

I wouldn’t put it past him.
But I doubt he’ll even mention the poor fucker in the crowd that was killed.

In his first statement regarding the incident Trump said the following:
“I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania. Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured.”

As if he wrote that.

Guilty LOL at the crowd still waving “You’re Fired” posters as he’s led off the stage.

If this doesn’t motivate the Democrats to ditch Biden they might as well just concede right now.

Neither the Trump shooting or Biden verbal flubs are going to change anyone's vote IMHO.

So the fact that multiple senior Democrats are talking about ditching Biden since his verbal flubs is just jibber jabber?

That's not what I said.
Biden wasn't popular with progressives in the last election either but left leaning supporters understood that he polled well against Trump and they're ultimately voting for left policies and administration versus right ones.
Keeping or replacing Biden, nor what is shaping up to be a registered 2A Republican with a history of mental illness that was goaded into being a pedo hunter by online trolls, would likely garner a wave of sympathy that changes left votes to Trump and the right's plans.
The knee-jerk online reaction that this will easily hand Trump the election are either naive, over-sensationalized, or disinfo.

Ok, well argued.
I think there will now be little or no Right inclined voter apathy, whereas if Biden remains the candidate Left inclined apathy will be very high. Also, you completely discount the phenomenon of swing voters. They really do exist, and they can and do make a difference. To people like you and me it is insane that someone could vote Biden one election then Trump the next, and vice versa, but it happens. In most places these loons don’t make a difference, but in the so called swing states… Plus some people will feel sorry for Trump, and admire him for carrying on. This only helps him.

Fair enuff.
Yeah there are certainly some voters who are disenfranchised with both parties (like me) but they're still a small percentage of our deeply divided nation made artificially close by our highly gerrymandered voting districts.
I personally believe ranked choice voting or a straight up popular vote would yield higher quality candidates who better represent the common good but think it'll take more hardship before we see those kinds of reforms, unfortunately.

I’ve seen a few DR videos over the years.
Never noticed anything political, just idiots shooting guns at things. There were more videos about his work as a vet a long time ago but given that most seemed to be about neutering I can see why he changed to gun Jackass.

Their vid content is gun-fun but some of their merch is made to appeal to righty gun-nuts.

something
or someone called 'scvmlord' made him do it apparently. A twitter cock and self-aggrandizing arms dealer/fraudster seemingly. Hmmm.

Why did he need to get his shoes?
Did he have sales samples behind the podium?

He's rumoured (along with Putin and others) to wear secret platform shoes that look like dress shoes but have a high heel shoe inside.
I wonder if a shoe like that is more likely to come off when you're hustled to the ground by secret service people. And if the fear of people seeing your secret high heel platform shoes cuts through the shock of having been shot at enough for you to prioritise your shoes over other stuff?

Maybe he has to wear slip-ons due to his age and size.
Can't imagine he'd be allowed to wear flip-flops, maybe a pair of fluffy mules.
