I have held a grudge against the National Review for eight years, since their terrible "Against Trump" issue in 2016. I do, however, appreciate this editorial
were not a democracy
I appreciate it, but they need to bear some responsibility for not challenging the rhetoric against Trump until this happened.
Is this the kind of event that kicks the NR in the butt for being such a-holes about Trump? About time people start to see he’s not Hitler reincarnated.
Trumps initial reaction was to stand up to show everyone’s that he’s ok..I swear when he went down I thought he was dead I started crying I could not believe I was seeing what I was seeing but trump being trump he thought only about getting up to show everyone I’m here I’m ok
The Trump hate is over the top and it is time to be treating them seriously. Every death threat on X and elsewhere need to be flagged, tracked down, and prosecuted.
“...nearby roof with a rifle undetected by security while bystanders pointed him out.”

Bull ****
Theconservativetreehouse.com has a video showing the police sniper targeting the shooter BEFORE the shooter attempts to kill Trump. Then, after the SS lets the shooter take his shots, then and only then does the SS sniper take him out.
This looks like a setup with the SS being in on it. Only taking the shooter out after he had killed Trump.
>> which, if taken seriously, justifies any means of resistance up to and including assassination.
What kind of brain-dead rationale is that? As the deranged Left takes the falsehoods seriously, the NR idiots just justified more of the same.
The shooter was a traitor. Whoever applauds him is also a traitor.
One thing is for sure, the Demos have succeeded in demonizing Trump so thoroughly that we should expect weak-minded people to attempt to take him out much as Brutus and Cassius took out Julius Caesar, thinking that they have done the world a favor. So, Joe Biden, Jill the elder abuser, Chuckie the Schumer, Nancy P. the Skelator, Barack the Untouchable, and the rest of the gang, thank you for bringing us to this point. You deserve whatever you get in the future for your perfidy. Understand, I am not advocating anything for or about you, but the court of public opinion and history will judge you harshly. Count on it.
The secret service failed today and have blood on their hands.

Read what they are saying at DU.
The division is beyond politics. The stalinist authoritarians seem to want a kinetic.
Trump needs to cancel these events since Biden woke SS staff wants Trump dead. People will understand.
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. :)
Me too. Maybe a wake call for a lot of the formerly reliably right publications.
The BBC has excellent coverage of this. They used an overhead view to show that the shooter was on a roof +/- 130 yards ninety degrees off to Trump’s right. I’ve seen the video of the event several times, and just before Trump grabs his ear, he turns his head to address the crowd on his left. Based on the blood spatter across his right cheek and lip, the bullet cut though Trump’s right ear from behind. Had he not turned his head just when he did, the shot may have hit him behind the temple.
The Democrats will start with their ‘’we must tone the rhetoric’’ bs. How quick they'd like us to forget that during Biden's campaign they paid bail for Antifa rioters and how Maxine Waters said in 2016 to ''get in their faces'' and how Sarah Huckabee was hounded out of a restaurant. These Democrat aholes have been ramping up the rhetoric AND the violence for some eight years now and this is the result.
