It hasn’t been 24 hours. They are writing the talking points and getting them ready for Monday morning. Don’t worry. It is coming.
Unbelievable! They ARE psychopaths!
I responded to one "FB friend" and commented: "So, you are ok with ex-presidents getting shot AT, but not actually, shot?" She unfriended me. Oh well.
Excellent observation.
maybe because this is a clear case of democrats and their attacks on Trump are clearly rsponsible for this. Where you been the last 8 years??..
no..they know how instantly iconic that photo is and that the shooting is clearly the result of democrat rhetoric. This is also politically devastating to them and to this election. They gotta attack the story.
Very true. Those numbers are in the $1000s
But one never knows.
It’s prudent in any case to investigate everything. No matter insignificant it may seem
It could be the proverbial “thread” that is pulled and unravels everything.
Anything is possible.
My take.
His dad made him register. Register as a Republican.
Young kid filled with Instagram and 17+ years of liberal indoctrination, no info on his circle of friends, what websites/chatrooms he frequents, so no telling what he was thinking.
The biggest key now, IMHO, who groomed him to do this!
Give it another 24 hours. Most of the libs are torn between approving of the shooting and regretting that it failed, and pouncing on another act of “gun violence”. They can do both with the right framing, but that will take a while to work up and disseminate.
I heard a radio report this morning about the shooting.
White male. Registered Republican. AR weapon found.
All the key ingredients for another dimrat campaign against white male republicans with AR’s.
Yup. Inevitable as the day.
I would expect some instant, with no warning, from the top down declaration.
Like a ATF, FBI, DHS, DOJ concurrent decree that Joe signed to speed up his diaper change and get some more ice cream.
No gun sales. No ammo sales. Start frisking everyone (especially pro-life terrorists and White men, etc.) for ‘weapons’.

In its first official platform since 2016, the Grand Old Party (GOP) slashed all mention of its gun policy positions.The Republican National Committee (RNC) Platform Committee voted 84-to-18 on Monday to adopt the new 2024 platform language after skipping the process entirely in 2020. The finalized document leans into former President Donald Trump’s “America First” outlook and parrots many of his stances on issues ranging from immigration to trade. However, it also minimized the party’s emphasis on gun policy compared to its previous platform.
The entire platform discusses gun rights just once, in a preamble statement about the party’s dedication to defending “our fundamental freedoms, including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and the right to keep and bear arms.” The final product omits any discussion of tangible gun policy ideas.
The Republican Party platform’s downplaying of Second Amendment issues comes as the gun-rights movement finds itself in a precarious position politically. As guns have become increasingly polarized along party lines, gun-rights supporters have found themselves reliant on Republicans for political support. President Joe Biden has made gun control a fixture of his tenure in office and is already campaigning on even more sweeping proposals, including a ban on sales of the popular AR-15, in a potential second term. At the same time, while the GOP’s current standard-bearer has continued to seek the support of the National Rifle Association and make promises in speeches to the group, he has been fickle on gun policy at times. His felony convictions also mean he can no longer legally own or possess firearms.
The 2024 platform’s cursory discussion of gun policy priorities marks a significant departure from the party’s 2016 platform. The party previously dedicated an entire section to the Second Amendment. In it, the GOP listed specific pro-gun policies it wanted to enact, as well as gun-control measures it opposed.
“We support firearm reciprocity legislation to recognize the right of law-abiding Americans to carry firearms to protect themselves and their families in all 50 states,” the 2016 document reads. “We support constitutional carry statutes and salute the states that have passed them.”
“We oppose ill-conceived laws that would restrict magazine capacity or ban the sale of the most popular and common modern rifle,” the section continues. “We also oppose any effort to deprive individuals of their right to keep and bear arms without due process of law. We condemn frivolous lawsuits against gun manufacturers and the current Administration’s illegal harassment of firearm dealers. We oppose federal licensing or registration of law-abiding gun owners, registration of ammunition, and restoration of the ill-fated Clinton gun ban.”
The RNC did not respond to a request for comment about the party dropping gun-rights priorities from its platform. However, in a press release, RNC Chairman Michael Whatley and co-chair Lara Trump called the “a bold roadmap that will undo the devastating damage that Joe Biden’s far-left policies have done to this country, power President Trump to a historic victory in November, and Make America Great Again.”

That yesterday is now being touted as a possible gun grabbing attempt is making a bit more sense since I read that Republican platform piece.
There are many ways to achieve change, only one our enemy favors https://thechinaproject.com/2018/05/19/friday-song-mao-zedong-said-change-must-come-barrel-of-a-gun/.
We'll know next week, won't we?
They forgot to include the red F-250 with MAGA stickers on it.
