“A representative Republic is a type of democracy. Will people look this up?”

No, not correct.

A republic, which is what the USA is, is a representative democracy (where voters choose a representative of their locality or state to make policy votes on their behalf at the organized government levels), as opposed to a pure, or direct, democracy (where everyone votes for every issue, and the majority of voters decides).

The secret service failed today

You bet they failed.

They failed to kill Trump.

Read what they are saying at DU.

The division is beyond politics. The stalinist authoritarians seem to want a kinetic.

No statute of limitations for murder.

If the fed sniper had a clear shot of the shooter to kill him AFTER he fired, THE FED SNIPER MUST HAVE HAD A CLEAR VIEW OF THE SHOOTER PREPARING TO SHOOT TRUMP. The fed was using a tripod atop a building and had a large caliber rifle with a big scope.

This appears to be a conspiracy to assassinate in which the feds were likely involved. It looks as if the shooter was the patsy and was always going to be killed, whether a successful assassin or not.

I do not trust ANY of the feds. They are a bunch of criminals.

Trump needs to cancel these events since Biden woke SS staff wants Trump dead. People will understand.

I always respected National Review as a sober, level-headed magazine staffed by literate, knowledgeable writers.

Just imagine my surprise when I discovered these journalistic titans were actually deeply influenced by the girly newsgirls on teevee moaning "Trump? He's icky. What's with his hair? So gross. I'm so done with him."

His superiors gave him ā€œrules of engagement ā€œ. WTF were they? Donā€™t shoot till Trump is hit? A unauthorized individual is pointing a rifle at a crowded area. Then you let him fire toward them? This is šŸ‚šŸ’©

I’m thinking of the constant stream of threats, plus all of the assaults occurring over the last 4+ years, especially the violent pro-Palestinian HAMAS terrorist protests.

"Trumpā€™s presence of mind and sense of the moment, after having just been nearly killed and perhaps while still in mortal peril, speak to his natural talents and instincts as a politician and populist symbol innate warrior mentality that he has had his entire life."

Dana White said as much and so have others. It is obvious in interviews he had in the '80s and '90s. He's not playing political games or acting a part for the crowd. Trump is exactly what he presents as.

His reaction when he was shot is notable too. No fear, no wincing just grabbed the side of his head and had a sort of wtf? kind of look on his face. Then he recognized the situation almost immediately and dropped.

I think that qualifies as passing a cognitive test. :)

Unfortunately, for the editors at National Review, the assassin missed by one inch.


No.

A bruised Donald Trump announced a new presidential bid on Tuesday night, an invitation to double down on the outrages and failures of the last several years that Republicans should reject without hesitation or doubt.

For very good reasons. The people who wrote those documents were well educated in History. Many of them were taught Greek and Latin, and knew the differences between Athenian democracy and the Roman and Dutch Republics. They were deeply aware of what Democracy invariably leads to and that it had to be avoided. The cliche is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.

Me too. Maybe a wake call for a lot of the formerly reliably right publications.

It requires very specific answers. There’s no way the closest roof, only 130 yards away, wasn’t covered.

None.

Well start with Article 1 Section 4. It talks about an election.

Maybe PDJT needs to pay for his own team?
