As much as I detest Trump, we are better off that he wasn't assassinated.

Violence, especially political violence, in and of itself is abhorrent; that's indisputable.

But, and of course there was a "but" coming, I'm also glad the Republicans don't get to present Trump as some sort of a martyr.

Just saying.

[Srkdqltr]

1. Yes

[Bernardo de La Paz]

2. Agree. Plus no lunatics took revenge on libs/progs/Dems. . . . . . nt

[bluewater]

5. Excellent point.

[Dave Bowman]

3. They would have carved his face on Mount Rushmore..

Among other things.

[BlueGreenLady]

10. Great minds think alike!! n/t

[Dave Bowman]

12. Wow, and we posted at the same time!

[bluewater]

15. Now both of you say "JINX"...

spit three times and go outside and run around the building you are in to ward off bad luck.

[BlueGreenLady]

4. I agree

Trumplicans would have had him installed on Mount Rushmore, if they could get controll.

[dalton99a]

6. Praise to the Lord

and His amazing fast hand skills

[BlueKota]

7. I agree.

They are already trying to make him a martyr because of his ear being grazed, and blaming Democrats. Would have been much worse if he had actually died.

I prefer prison or natural causes for him myself.

Also believe only excuse for use of violence is to protect yourself or someone else in imminent danger of physical harm from another person or persons.

[ImNotGod]

8. True, history has proven that playing God never ends well though the fascists believe he is God. nt

[ms liberty]

9. Yea, he would have been the fallen hero and

He would have ascended to mythical status. We would never have been rid of him.

[LizBeth]

11. Oh, I agre. He needs to stay alive for the next four months then after that

don't care. But to get a first black woman, ya.... lol.

[bluewater]

13. Trump losing to Harris becoming the first black woman President would be...

perfect!

Great point.

[brush]

14. I agree. I still don't buy the "lone wolf" descriptor though that the pundits...

and most everyone else seems to be going with. I still think that kid had help...and the Secret Service's head evasive testimony to Congress yesterday (resulting in her resignation today), makes me suspect even more that something has not come out yet on the assassination attempt. I mean why was such an obvious location as that building not totally secured/eliminated as a possible perch for an assassin to access?

[Traurigkeit]

17. SS didn't care about TSF

[brush]

20. Sure seems like it, but were there maybe rethug olicharchs involved who want trump gone?

Not that that's a bad thing, but maybe someone thinks trump's evident mental decline makes him vulnerable for defeat?

[bluewater]

21. That very well could be a possibility.

I wouldn't put it past them.

[Emile]

16. The Strawberry Blonde Bad-Built Jesus came just an

inch away from being shot dead. The hand of God turned his head and saved his life right in front of all that worship him.

[MustLoveBeagles]

18. Agree

[Metaphorical]

19. On the other hand

We would have had one whale of a succession fight at the Republican convention.

[drmeow]

22. But the Republicans who

"just won't vote for Trump" would be likely to come out and vote for whoever replaced him. I want him alive long enough for every "anyone but Trump" voter to get their votes in ... then I'd be happy for him to drop dead.

[Crunchy Frog]

23. I agree. I never wanted him to be assassinated.

I did want him to die of Covid when he got it though.

[bluewater]

24. I want trump to live a long life...

in jail.
