First reports are that the shooter was a 20-year-old resident of Pennsylvania. Registered Republican but never has voted. He donated $15 to a Progressive cause. Conspiracy theories rampant based on insufficient evidence so far.

Soon we'll be treated to photos of Trump with a plaster on his ear to go with the famous photos of Mussolini after a woman shot him on the nose in 1926.

I am undecided Mark. He will either show up at the convention wearing a turban like bandage or with nothing on his ear at all. To show how tough he is you know. He took a bullet for the American people & he is still here, like Teddy Roosevelt after he got shot. You can't kill a bull moose.

If Trump can be blamed for rhetoric which incited a riot on Jan 6th, can Biden be blamed for rhetoric about Trump which caused an assassination attempt?

That's what I was thinking. It's a dangerous path to tread to accuse others of incitement because it'll be your turn to be accused soon enough.

Example: In a recent speech Biden said we have to put a bullseye on Trump. Most likely in reference to defeating him in the election. Fast forward to the assassination attempt & add a deluded mind.

 Because of Trump own lies and hate speech that probably lead to this. A vast amount of Republicans have spoken out on it out loud and now you have one young lad who listened and acted on it.

 For the want of him turning his head less than an inch he is still alive but a supporter isn't and two others are left in critical condition. Even after he was hit, he had to raise his hand and shouted, Fight-fight-fight as if he wants his followers to do more. The last time he said these words it lead to the attack on the Capital by Thousands of Republican Flakes and people died for no reason and millions of tax payers dollars has to be spend to fix the damages. All because of just another Trump lie.


Canada has had only one politician assassinated and it was Darcy Mc Gee. He was assassinated by an American.

An emotional business for sure because people have different views on different subjects but in the end it must be remembered that they are all the same on both sides of the aisle and that is Americans. No room for hate in an election only disagreement which can be healthy.

Trump has spread 100 times more lies against Biden and if you had ever bothered to watch any of his rallies you would see it. Still don't seem to know anything about Trump, do you.

I see you also have mud on your face for wanting out of the EU. Now Britain is kissing ass to get back in it because they finally realize they can't make it on their own anymore.

What a let down you have become to the rest of the commonwealth. Should be ashamed of yourselves.

GOP donors were 'pulling for anyone' but Vance over senator’s claim he’s 'open to Bernie Bros': report


The same United States senator who one called Donald Trump and "idiot," and compared the former president to Adolf Hitler, according to Reuters, was selected to be the MAGA leader's vice presidential running mate Monday.

Despite Senator J.D. Vance's (R-OH) criticism of Trump in 2016, the ex-president recognizes himself in the the Ohio senator, National Review senior political correspondent Jim Geraghty writes in an op-ed published by The Washington Post.

Choosing Vance, Geraghty suggests, is a "declaration that if Trump wins, the Republican Party will remain fervently nationalist and populist for many years to come."

However, according to the conservative writer, if the vice president pick were up to Republican donors, Vance would have never been selected.

Geraghty writes, "The Republican donor class was pulling for anyone except Vance — no doubt alarmed by the senator who earlier this year told New York Times columnist Ross Douthat, 'The people on the left, I would say, whose politics I’m open to — it’s the Bernie Bros,' later adding, 'I’m not philosophically against raising taxes on anybody.'"

Geraghty also notes that in addition to calling Trump an idiot, the right-wing senator also "once called himself a 'Never Trump guy,' saying the former president "is unfit for our nation’s highest office."

The Daily Beast reported last week, "The very same coastal elites who once adored Vance have been trying to sabotage his vice presidential aspirations, according to three Republicans familiar with the veepstakes who spoke to" the news outlet.

"Donors have really coalesced around [North Dakotas Governor Doug] Burgum and [US Senator Marco] Rubio (R-FL) at this point," a GOP strategist told the Beast. "Vance, on the other hand, 'hasn’t done anything meaningful' in the eyes of some of the more traditional Republican major donors."

Why JD Vance would be 'the most dangerous vice president': columnist

Former President Donald Trump's top three contenders in the running to be his vice president if elected in November are North Dakota Republican Governor Doug Bergum, US Senators Marco Rubio (R-FL), and JD Vance (R-OH).

In a Monday, June 24 op-ed published by MSNBC, columnist and author Paul Waldman suggests that out of the three right-wing lawmakers, Vance would be "the most dangerous" choice.


"Vance has developed his own ideas about the kind of revolution he’d like to see, and Trump is clearly his vehicle to achieve it," Waldman writes.

The MAGA hopeful "wouldn’t have to cajole or beg or threaten JD Vance to subvert democracy. He’d eagerly say yes, in pursuit of his own authoritarian dreams," theWhite Rural Rage: The Threat to American Democracy author adds.

Like Rubio and Burgum, he has repented for his former criticisms of his party’s leader; back in 2016 he called Trump an 'idiot,' 'noxious” and “reprehensible” and said he wasn’t sure whether Trump would turn out to be 'a cynical a---- like Nixon' or 'America’s Hitler.'

But in the years since, Vance has developed his own ideas about the kind of revolution he’d like to see, and Trump is clearly his vehicle to achieve it. Two years ago, Vance said in an interview that if Trump wins he should 'fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people' and defy the courts if they try to stop him. To change government in the way he wants, Vance said, 'we’re going to have to get pretty wild and pretty far out there and go in directions that a lot of conservatives right now are uncomfortable with.'


Sounds to me American still have a choice in who they elect for President and Vice. If these two get in then kiss your America good-bye. Not the time you follow which side your parents and grandparents picked because this is not the same party it was in it's glory days

Have been watching the Republican convention all day. What a pile of Lies and Dribble.

The America standard of Education is low in comparison to the rest of the world and it showing badly in that hall today.

Most there don't have a clue what is being feed to them and clap and cheer every time a hateful speaker finishes their speech. They keep pushing uniting the country and Trump is a unifier and that's the last thing the party or Trump is capable of. Your all going to hell in a hand basket and you don't even know it.

J.D. Vance was the first senator to endorse Trump & my guess from the beginning, although I did vacillate a wee bit as time went on. He certainly has the credentials & unlike the current V.P. they aren't chromosomes & color. NostraThomas

Credentials?? Surely you jest. Writing a book about yourself and being in government a year doesn't say much. In his mind he thinks that he can control Trump and change his mind. Fat chance of that happening because Trump can't think ahead of his own mouth far less have someone change his mind. I have never see so many Rhinestones cowboys in one room like at that gathering. Did the Hat maker pass away or let a North Korean company buy him out. The hat's only seem to come in one size. (Too large) Since when to you wear one that not only covers your head but your eyes and ears also. They used the same mold to make thousands like this. The sad part is it's city slickers that seem to be first to don one and most if not all have never been closer that 40 miles to a horse or a cow.  Have you watched any of it Tommy? If you had, not one speaker has listened not to bash the other side like promised. If I was on the Biden side I would flood the air waves with negative things in return about Trump his VP and and of his close crook friends that have all served jail time.. The hat Mussolini is wearing above was more common in the old west that these Hollywood style hats.

Biden diagnosed with Covid. Hmm, an excuse for his rambling rhetoric? An exit strategy for health reasons? He has to manage his "ride into the sunset" with some kind of honor. When Marcus Aurelius screwed up his succession it led to the decline of the Roman Empire.
