    I can have a healthy debate with anyone and keep it cordial but when the spin is already starting that it is the rhetoric of the left that got us here yet when a hammer to the face of paul pelosi got this reaction from trump and the crowd, the gaslighting is crazy out here. well then something something chicken roost.

    I hope phone convo is the beginning of toned down political rhetoric. Too much hate from the party bases though, so it won't happen. Kill parties and partisanship, not people.

    That is really faulty logic.

    If you believe someone is a threat to democracy then you probably then don't want them assassinated because then the ideology they represented become a rallying cry.

    yeah…not sure who they’re trying to fool

    if Biden was the one shot today, I can only imagine the statement Trump would’ve made

    Pelosi was nearly killed and all we heard were jokes for days and insinuating he’s gay

    It's obvious concern trolling.

    Yeah, I'm calling BS on the 'tone it down' stuff. You have elected officials blaming Biden for this, that's not turning it down, that's turning it up.

    Also, will never forget this...
    https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/pr...ng-the-only-good-democrat-is-a-dead-democrat/
    Trump shares video of supporter saying "the only good Democrat is a dead Democrat"

    Crazy for a ex-president to retweet something like that, but that's Trump for you.

    Any attempt at concern trolling by these posters should be met with laughter to tell them it ain't happening. You won't be able to shame people into not feeling sorry about Trump given his history. It's so obviously fake why are they even trying?

    Under the Project 2025 plan, the Department of Homeland Security would be dissolved and US Secret Service would be split into two parts- The DOJ for the protective element and the financial enforcement element (as the agency was originally created) would be moved to Dept of Treasury. Overall, the budget would be lowered with focus on the protective element.

    Agents working outside Washington DC would be moved to the newly established stand- alone border and immigration agency at the Cabinet level.

    Democrats will extend grace to someone who would never do the same for them as we already saw with Pelosi…no way in hell would Trump stop advertising or donations if Biden was shot

    we had several posters enjoying Pelosi’s beatdown, many of them in this very thread

    the amount of tweets where some MAGA is calling for someone to be shot, killed, or hanged is too many to count

    I remember Steve Bannon had his podcast suspended just 2 or 3 years ago for saying that Fauci and a few others should be beheaded and their heads placed on spikes

    Go **** yourself. Unlike you, Trump and Biden - @fchowd0311 actually served his country in war and was injured in the line of duty.

    Maybe true, but race will likely always be an issue in America.

    The country is founded on it.

    Should read all or no?

    its bananas to think saying stuff for years like "lock her up" or "you'll never take back our country with weakness." had no effect like they were like some simple innocent nursery rhyme and not the catayst for where we are now.

    Yeah there's an odd take I keep seeing pop up (not sure if here, I have only read like the last 3 pages), its. "See, this is what happens when you say Trump is a threat to Democracy!"

    And it's like...yeah, but he is though??? Did he not try to overturn the election? Yes. Yes he did. Him being shot at doesn't change that fact. Him trying to overturn the election was extremely divisive.

    I'm happy Trump wasn't killed, truly I am. I do think if he should win it will be very bad for this country and that many, even those voting for him, will forever regret it, but I don't wish for him to be killed before he does ruin the country. I'm no fan of thought crimes.

    What I'll say might be controversial but...
    But I'll say this over and over again, when you threaten to take away democracy and you threaten rights...people will take that seriously. No one lied about Trump being a threat to democracy, he literally tried to overturn the last election he lost, he LITERALLY said he'll be a dictator on day one. These are not lies. These are not fabrications. These are facts.

    Conservatives always go on about their 2A rights and that their purpose is to prevent a tyrannical government...well...if Trump learned anything today its that many Americans will feel very free to exercise those rights if he threatens to take them away.

    More evidence that this could've been an inside job. I wouldn't put it past Trump to orchestrate a fake assassination attempt. He could be the Jussie Smollett of politics.
