Biden urges America to 'lower temperature' after Trump shooting

US President Joe Biden has condemned the assassination attempt on his predecessor Donald Trump in a primetime address from the White House, telling Americans that US politics must never be a "killing field". Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president, was wounded in the ear after a gunman opened fire at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. One person was killed and two more were critically injured in the attack.

In the Oval Office address - just the third of his presidency - Mr Biden urged Americans to "take a step back" and warned that "political rhetoric in this country has gotten very heated". "No matter how strong our convictions, we must never descend into violence," Mr Biden said in remarks that lasted just under seven minutes.

His short, but forceful, address largely went off without a hitch, amid ongoing scrutiny following a number of high-profile verbal slips. In his primetime address, the president called on Americans to come together and warned that increasing political polarisation meant November's election would be "a time of testing". Mr Biden and Trump remain locked neck-and-neck in opinion polls ahead of the election.

Biden was hoping to do the “Presidential” routine at Trump’s funeral. But things didn’t turn out like he expected, so now he’s just going through the motions. He can’t hide his disappointment. His heart’s just not in it. But if the attempt had succeeded, he’d be laying it on thick. We’re talking about one of the greatest bullsh*****s of all time.

Who got bitch slapped? I haven’t been on here much lately - holed up in the studio writing and recording for the next few weeks.
