Whether it’s demonizing their political opponent or the propensity for violence, Saturday’s attack on Trump was consistent with Democrat rhetoric and actions.
Forty years ago, after the assassination attempt on Ronald Reagan, I remember watching ABC anchor Frank Reynolds violently slam his fist on the desk when he was given some conflicting information about the president’s fate. The ABC brass quickly marched Sam Donaldson out to co-host, hoping to keep Reynolds calm. The country was shocked and somber. While the left disliked Reagan, no one that I remember expressed a hint of joy that he had been shot or sadness that he’d survived.
Fast forward 43 years, and we have another maverick Republican president (albeit not in office at the time) who was wounded by a would-be assassin’s bullet. This time, while most of the country was shocked and appalled, there was a significant element of the press and the left who argued that the president was responsible for the shooting, as others openly wished the shooter hadn’t missed.
What’s interesting is that, as every day goes by, we’ve found out more about the utterly absurd events that put Trump at risk. We discovered that the DEI clown running the Secret Service diverted Trump’s usual detail to protect her patron, Jill Biden, leaving Trump with the practice squad. Worse, we learned that the building upon which the would-be assassin set himself didn’t have a sniper on it because the roof was sloped—so a Secret Service sniper might fall off—and that authorities knew the killer was there for more than 20 minutes before the first shot rang out. Agents were even in the building itself! The most charitable assessment is that those in charge are utterly incompetent imbeciles. A less charitable assessment would conclude that they were somehow complicit...

After nine years of ever escalating attacks, many predicted that assassination was the only thing left. Were the democRATS actively involved or have they merely set the tone and left it to their supporters to act?
It was arranged by the Dems. Just look at the timing. Days before the convention and now Biden says he’ll step down.
The odds some rando assassin happens to wander in on the exact same day the SS decides to leave their brains at home seem very remote.

The woman who is the Secret Service Director looks like she is way over her head.Why can’t the president appoint the best and the brightest?

Its mostly the latter but the assassination attempt required the complicity of at least some people in leadership positions within the Secret Service to come even close to success. Just as we've seen with the FIB, the DOJ and the intel agencies, there is massive political corruption (not to mention regular ole financial corruption) within the federal bureaucracy. At this point, we need to assume them guilty and leave it up to them to prove their innocence. That's where we are. Its their own fault for it.
It seems like the Democrat strategy has backfired. The media has no trust, refusing to report the truth. Will people vote for the Republican ticket? Get ready for 3 months of constant propaganda.
Not only that but how did this 20 year old guy know exactly where the gaping hole in their security would be?
Look at the timing. Right before the RNC when Delegates would be required to cast their votes for Trump and before Trump had named a running mate/successor which the RINO Establishment and Deep State were both fearing would be JD Vance. Why was the Turtle at the RNC where he knew he'd be massively boo'd? Why was Neocon Nikki there? Why was Mike Pompeo telling people he'd be on the ticket? Why did that Austin investment group to which the Bushes, the Cheneys, Zuckerberg, BlackRock, Vanguard and the Rothschilds are subscribed place a massive short on Trump's businesses right beforehand?
You will never convince me that the RINO Establishment wasn't in on it - just like they were in on the Steal in 2020. They planned to assassinate Trump, drop in Neocon Nikki (hey, she had the most votes of anybody still alive.....) have her name Pompeo as VP and blame the whole thing on Iran so they could get a war going there. That way the Deep State can't lose - its either RINO Neocons on one side or the Democrats whom they own on the other - AND they get a war they've wanted so they and their Defense contractor lobbyist buddies can make even more piles of cash.
But Trump survived. And he picked Vance so there's no point in trying to assassinate him again. In fact he sped up the timeline to name JD Vance as VP right away. He knows. He knows who tried to kill him - and it wasn't some rando 20 year old kid. He's just the patsy.
Call me a "conspiracy theorist" if you wish. I don't care.
I think it’s both. They are imbeciles AND complicit. Especially when you realize these are democrats.
They need to be dealt with, one way or another. America will not survive the democrat party. It needs to be exterminated.
BTTT
saw a bumper sticker that read “hate is not a family value”. maybe the reason democrats are so angry and hatefilled all of the time is simply because they don’t have ANY values.

There are many security experts interviewed here and abroad who seem to hate the word “conspiracy” who say this looks planned. You can tell that they never thought they’d ever express such a thought. They are stuck between the rock and hard place of their professional integrity and the facts.
Ill take complicit for $500 Alex.
The libs and democrats were giddy at the prospect of Reagan’s assassination. They hated him just as much as they hate Trump now. There wasn’t the internet and ANY alternative media to expose them.
Read President Reagan’s Best Jokes About Being Shot
When President Ronald Reagan was shot on this day, March 30, in 1981, it was anything but funny. The assassination attempt by John W. Hinckley Jr. required the President to undergo surgery and seriously wounded three others.
But Reagan knew it was also important to convey to the country that he was going to be OK. And — before he was told that others had been injured — he knew that humor could get that message across, perhaps better than any other official reassurance. According to TIME’s coverage of the assassination attempt, the very first thing he said to the First Lady when she arrived at the hospital was, “Honey, I forgot to duck,” a reference to a one-liner used by boxer Jack Dempsey.
The magazine compiled this list of his best reactions to the shooting and his own injuries:
> To surgeons, as he entered the operating room: “Please tell me you’re Republicans.”
> In a written note, upon coming out of anesthesia in the recovery room (paraphrasing Comedian W.C. Fields): “All in all, I’d rather be in Philadelphia.”
> In another note, recalling a Winston Churchill observation: “There’s no more exhilarating feeling than being shot at without result.”
> In a third note: “Send me to L.A., where I can see the air I’m breathing.”
> In yet another note written while surrounded by medical staff: “If I had this much attention in Hollywood, I’d have stayed there.”
> Complimented by a doctor for being a good patient: “I have to be. My father-in-law is a doctor.”
> To an attentive nurse: “Does Nancy know about us?”
> To a nurse who told him to “keep up the good work” of his recovery: “You mean this may happen several more times?”
> To Daughter Maureen: The attempted assassination “ruined one of my best suits.”
> Greeting White House aides the morning after surgery: “Hi, fellas. I knew it would be too much to hope that we could skip a staff meeting.”
> When told by Aide Lyn Nofziger that the Government was running normally: “What makes you think I’d be happy about that?”
