  1. It’s bad enough that Dems are constantly seeking to proclaim that Pres. Trump is an “existential threat” and causing “the end of democracy,” but it’s the non-elected bureaucratic agencies (FBI, CIA, etc.), which now operate without oversight and complete immunity, that want him stopped at all costs (including his death) b/c they fear that their power is going to be taken away. They believe that they should always be the agencies that silently control everything and know what is best for the country. This would also include complicity, either directly or by intentional inaction to specific threats, against those who they deem ‘unworthy’ or a threat to their authority, power and control.

  2. I’m sure it’s all just coincidences. 🙄

    “The 2nd Trump assassination attempt suspect was all over the FBI’s radar, the media’s radar and the State Department’s radar. He was a Ukraine radical with an extensive rap sheet. How was a roofer from North Carolina travelling to Ukraine, Hawaii, DC and Palm Beach? And how was he so easily able to show up at the right place at the right time?”

  6. The shooter has ties to an actual Nazi group, as does his buddy Zelensky in Ukraine.

    “Just a reminder that @JoeBiden’s State Department @StateDept under Antony Blinken @SecBlinken signed off on the Ukrainian Nazi Azov Brigade to receive US weapons in June of 2024 with US Taxpayer money…

    Ryan Routh was a recruiter for Azov and appeared in their promotion videos as an American mercenary in Ukraine.

    Today, he tried to assassinate President Trump.

    Was the AK 47 used by Ryan Routh today when he tried to assassinate President Donald Trump one of the guns provided to the Azov Battalion by Joe Biden’s State Department????

    The plates on his car are also stolen plates.

    The AR he used also had a scratched out serial number.

    All of this leads to premeditation.”

  7. Good. We’ll start with you and all the Benghazi lies you pushed, then fo Libya, the BleachBitting offederal documents, the improper storage of said documents, and who can forget all the lies and misinformation about Haiti relief you pushed while embezzling millions from their coffers for the Clinton Foundation.

    Maybe sit this one out Hillary. You’re in no position to be casting stones at anyone, ever, on this topic. You wrote the book on it.

  11. This is getting weird.

    But the deeper you dig, see who he knows and associates with, see the he plans made, and that he knew where Trump was and when, and it seems like he had inside knowledge.

    Which then begs the question, who was this guy’s handler? Because guys like this have handlers.

    Scary stuff.

    “People who encountered Ryan Routh repeatedly tried to warn U.S. authorities that he was dangerous.

    Ryan Routh criticized Trump and threatened to kill Vladimir Putin, setting off alarm bells among those involved in Ukraine assistance efforts

    Chelsea Walsh, a nurse who had several encounters with Routh in Kyiv in 2022, said his threats of violence worried her so much that she conveyed her concerns to a Customs and Border Protection officer in an hourlong interview at Washington’s Dulles airport in June 2022.

    Walsh told the officer during the interview, which took place after she returned to the U.S., that Routh was among the most dangerous Americans she met during her month-and-a-half-long stint in Ukraine.

    When Walsh heard in 2023 that Routh was attempting to recruit Syrian refugees to fight in Ukraine, she filed an online report with the FBI and Interpol outlining her concerns about Routh and others, she said. Neither Customs nor the FBI followed up with her, she said.”

  13. Recently, I read someone (don’t remember where I read it – maybe here, maybe elsewhere) said that Trump is the only president/presidential candidate to have had two assassination attempts made towards him. This morning, however, I was reminded that there were two attempts on Gerald Ford, a little over two weeks apart.

    Now let us hope that there will not be a third. This is not a record that anyone would like broken.

  14. Got me wondering why two people tried to kill President Ford. He wasn’t very controversial to the best of my recollection.

    Squeaky Fromme was worried about California’s coast redwoods falling down because of smog, so she “decided to bring attention to the trees by putting fear into the government through killing its symbol, President Ford.” Apparently Ford was trying to get some environment regulations relaxed.

    Sara Jane Moore “explained in a 2009 interview that her motive was to spark a violent revolution in order to bring change to America.”

    (Both according to Wikipedia.)

  15. Kevin @3:37, that was my thought about Ford.

    I remember when that happened, I was in college, our journalism instructor (a reporter in her real job) interviewed Sara Jane Moore (who asked the reporter if she would keep some of her things in storage while she was in jail, oddly).

    Let’s face it, most of these folks are “off,” sadly; they become sucked into some sort of paranoia or alternative explanation of things only they can “see” and go with it. I heard Routh’s son express surprise over the assassination attempt. But Routh clearly headed off down one of those less-beaten trails of alternative political ideas, be it left/right or some odd mixture of the two, or in between or back-and-forth. We’ve seen this before.

    I’d only add that Trump frequented that golf course, it was a nearby favorite of his, and since Routh apparently wasn’t gainfully employed and had no where else he had to be, he would have had the time (12 hours according to cell records) to “hang out” living off whatever was in the backpacks in the event or until Trump showed up; golf course staff also would have probably had a heads up about when he was coming).
