If a Trump supporter armed with a rifle and a scope were stalking Kamala and got within a few hundred yards of her, this would not be how the media would cover it.
Trump was the subject of an apparent assassination attempt at his Florida golf club, the FBI says – AP
FBI investigating apparent assassination attempt on Trump in Florida – CNN
Here’s what we know about the weapon recovered at Trump’s golf course – The Washington Post
Yes, that’s the really important part of the story. The weapon. Not the gunman.
Pretty ho-hum stuff all in all. Just the sort of thing that keeps happening. It’s not a really big story like Taylor Swift endorsing Kamala. Now that you bring out the 72-point font for.
NBC News’s Lester Holt was even more shameless when he claimed that “today’s apparent assassination attempt comes amid increasingly fierce rhetoric on the campaign trail. Mr. Trump, his running mate JD Vance continue to make baseless claims about Haitian immigrants”
I don’t need to talk about how crazy the media would go if the roles were reversed. The J6 riot led to the deployment of National Guard units from across the country and the militarization of D.C., along with an investigation that’s still ongoing. Kamala claimed that it was the worst thing to happen to America since the Civil War even on the anniversary of 9/11. Democrats are still going nuts over the JFK assassination and insist it’s a great national trauma that completely changed history. But guys taking potshots at Trump is something they learn to get past within minutes. It’s just this sorta thing that keeps happening. Why? Who knows. Now let’s talk some more about how he’s a threat to democracy.
The matter-of-fact approach normalizes the violence. How people react to things often depends on the social signals that they’re given. It’s why much of the British public went along with the ruthless crackdown on anti-migrant protests in the UK while agreeing that Hamas rioters were political speech. Same thing happened in America with J6 and BLM. The media is sending the signal that taking shots at Trump is no big deal.
Now misgender someone and that’s a real outrage.

The leftist political class and the media(same thing) have an unfathomable hatred, disgust and contempt for the middle class. The reason is simple, they were imbued with Bolshevik ideals in their formative years. The middle class is the enemy and must be destroyed. DJT represents the middle class. Establishment Republicans are worse in some ways. They desperately want to be part of the sophisticate political class, which Democrats and the MSM(redundant) give the illusion of being. DJT stands against all of it, and for the people, and he can’t be stopped and beats them by not playing their game. It’s incredible to watch-terrifying, mind-boggling, glorious, and hilarious all at the same time.

The powerful in government don’t fear Donald Trump, they are terrified of him. Everything is on the table to stop him. They could care less how they appear at this point and every American should be horrified by that fact.

What would you think if a guy with a rifle got on top of the Treasury Building next to the White House. Biden is having a Rose Garden event. There are NO Secret Service personnel on that roof. He sets up for a shot. The Secret Service can see that he is there. The Secret Service send out Biden to the podium in the garden anyway. The guy shoots Biden in the head. The Secret Service ONLY fires after the guy starts shooting. Would you deduce that someone was helping the guy shoot Biden?
Jeff Bargholz says
What a weird looking guy. I heard the news media guys debating whether he’s mentally ill.
Gee do you think?
Gordon says
As much as any leftist.
Kasandra says
Lester Holt: “Well, she was wearing a shortish skirt when she walked into the bar where she was raped, after all.”
Steve Kardas says
It wasn’t rape-rape….
aMongoose says
But it was a ‘mostly peaceful’ rape.
.
Yeah, I remember the 24/7 coverage when she was almost assassinated by a pipe bomb on J6.
Intrepid says
“The media is sending the signal that taking shots at Trump is no big deal.”
Eventually taking shots at Subsaharan African and Haitian illegals and Jihadis will be no big deal either, especially since the Kamala Admin and Obama are responsible for letting them in.
Americans did not ask for this crap.

If there were two assasination attempts on the Cackler over the last couple months, it would be the end of free speech in America!
Big social media would ban all comments against dems under the guise of hate speech, or inciting violence. Main stream media would have wall to wall coverage for months condemning violent ‘right wing’ hate speech.
The justice department would find a way to speciously tie Trump to the assassination attempts and find something to charge him with.
Big corporations all across the nation would incorporate some form of anti right wing rhetoric into all their advertising. (Remember all the “systemic racism” messaging during 2020?)
Federal and local governments would pass new anti hate speech laws this, and anti hate crimes that laws.
It would be a bloodbath for what constitutional rights we have left!
Mabius says
Let’s not forget about Kamala being at the DNC when the pipe bomb was discovered outside. Where is the media reporting on THAT?? The person who discovered the bomb should have been hailed as a hero, yet it was quickly swept under the rug. The bombs at the DNC & near the RNC were the original plans and the storming of the Capitol was plan B – but since that took off bigger than anyone anticipated, they no longer needed the story of someone trying to assassinate the incoming VP.
Harris still dodges the question of why she was even at the DNC at that time and the media are in on the cover up.
Jeff Bargholz says
There should be a bounty on cat munching Haitians. Have you ever met one? They’re scumbags who use the F word in every sentence. I think they’re all criminals. It’s pretty much the only word you can understand in their dumbass patois.
Spurwing Plover says
How would the M.S. Media bottom feeders react? A regular Feeding Frenzie like they did after anything to do with Conservatives
Rouge1 says
You don’t have to imagine it. Cameltoe was meer feet away from a viable bomb according to the FBlie on j-6 during the FedSurection while at the DNC coordinating the FedSurection and the media is dead silent about it.
Chum Lee says
That’s only because it was a Democrat operative planting the bomb. If they could pin it on a J6 “insurrectionist”, it would have eclipsed the Charlottesville fairytail in the perpetual news cycle.
Chris Shugart says
Well, kind of a big deal.. Trump is still alive. But I’m pretty sure the deep state is still thinking up new scenarios that will make it look like just another lunatic who just wants to get his picture in the papers. Nothing to see here.
Jeff Bargholz says
Yes, how did Routh know Trump would be on that golf course? Somebody told him, of course.
Trump should make all the people around him take lie detector tests on a weekly basis.
Mabius says
If the people around Trump aren’t the moles, then whoever they report to up the chain most likely are (which flows ultimately to Mayorkas). He has the brainwashed patsies on speed dial.
Chum Lee says
Is the pink shirt what passes for low-viz camouflage to Democrats?
