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

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.

Like some guys playing pranks on one another, and the guy that started it says “Okay - things have gotten out of hand, lets stop.”

No, that’s a meme.

But countless times he has said that “MAGAs are extremists” “a threat to Democracy” and other vile insults.

Trump never insults the Democrat voters, Biden constantly does.

I should have said that Biden constantly insults Republican voters.

But it wouldn’t be wrong to say he insults Democrat voters either just not in direct reference.

Brandon could lower the temperature by ordering his DOJ dogs to stop persecuting Trump, freeing the J6 freedom fighters and releasing the pro life praying grandmas. Of course he won’t because this is a charade to cover up his role in cranking up political violence.

Yes. Our voice has been silenced. We do not show support for MAGA openly. The Demrats can display their support with no problem, but show support for Trump or ANY REPUBLICAN in California and they might kill your dog, rape your daughter, charge you with bs crimes…basically make your life hell.
This is not America that I grew up in any more.

No one is listening to this dementia-addled blithering idiot, yet they keep trotting him out.

How about printing a retraction of that famous Philadelphia Square, red-tinged nighttime Nuremburg rally, replete with the United States Marine Corps backing him up?

Joe Biden has vilified Donald Trump and all of his supporters in the most unprecedented un American and purely hateful way. He called us all a threat to liberty and freedom and justice. Joe Biden is the only one who has to tone down anything. Put up the two candidates speeches side by side. Bidens speechs are pure lies calumny and hate while Trumps are speeches any founding father or candidate for president in history could have delivered word for word. Don’t give me any of this lying bullshit “both sides” crap the demons and their supporters are trying to hide behind yet again.

There were some incredible pictures of Adolph Joe Biden going around on text messages

He was posing just like Hitler

I should have saved them from way back - Chode has a pretty good collection of other pictures

Anyone who wears a MAGA hat has to worry about getting beaten, anyone who dares to put a Trump sign on a lawn has to keep up a watch for serious trouble. Don’t dare to put a Trump bumper sticker on a vehicle.

Not here in southwest Florida. Trump flags and bumper stickers out and proud. Saw a woman at the market the other day with a t-shirt that said "I'm voting for the convicted felon."

“I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
