Biden urges America to 'lower temperature' after Trump shooting
BBC News ^ | July 14, 2024 | Matt Murphy

Posted on 07/14/2024 11:31:19 PM PDT by MinorityRepublican

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.

MOFO is the top POS for upping the temperature.

It is his party that calls for hatred and cheers those who openly want Trump dead.

Screw you Joe. A nursing home is too good for a horrible person like you.

I still have that image of Satan’s harlot nancy pelosi tearing up Trump’s wonderful address to Congress right behind President Trump. ( I will never capitalize her vile name again )

This evil woman should go down in history alongside John Wilkes Booth.

I see “cry bullies” a lot in reference to Hamas.

They invade Israel, kill civilians, rape, and take hostages and then cry to the media about the mean Jews who beat them up gettting the hostages back.

The cry bully strategy is tried and true strategy of the Left.

Thankful for places like you and other good people live.

I’m in southeastern Michigan, less than an hour’s drive from Dearborn and the biggest mosque in the US and also near Rep. Debbie Dingell’s office. About 85% always Dem all the time voters.

Have you noticed that the Usual Ukie Cheerleading Suspects™ have gone silent? I'm just sayin'.

Yep, most of ‘em have. They got caught off-guard and they don’t like anything taking attention from their pet cau$e. But what can they do in this situation? A bit of a quandary for them, I believe.

One was behaving very badly yesterday until he got smacked by the boss. 😏

After calling Trump a Russian traitor for going on 9 years,
launching the Senate, the House of Representatives, the
Justice Department, the FBI, and other agencies, against
him, and allowing the media to say anything at all they
want to against him, no matter the truth or even sanity
behind it, and then Soros and the entire Leftist NGO
network to support ANTIFA, BLM, and other radicals to
“protest” [translation: BURN THE NATION DOWN],
Pudin thinks it’s time to call a truce.

That’s because he knows it’s pay-back time. People on the
right have had ENOUGH!

While physical pay-back sure has a nice ring to it, I think
the November election will speak volumes. If it comes in
again for Biden with something close to 91 million votes, I
don’t even want to be in the nation with what will deserve
to take place.

I’m afraid we will. I’m not backing down though, I’m going to put up a Trump flag on my deck.
Didn’t want to invite any aggravation before but now my attitude is “bring it on!”

No, it’s a meme using some lyrics from a Pink Floyd song. Notice the logo on the lectern?

It’s not much worse than what he has said such as “MAGA extremists are a danger to the nation.”

Biden is urging Americans to see him as a ‘leader’ as he makes pointless statements and pretends to be in charge after Trump nearly was murdered.

He’s disingenuous lying asshole.

It’s a terrible shame the way the democrats have turned their supporters into psychotic delusional monsters!
This is not even about Biden!
Trump 2024! Unite this nation for decency and what is good.

When Dems spew their hate we have piles of examples now.
