Trump Assassination Attempt Investigations

JD Vance also blaming Dems for calling out lies (that Vance calls “vigorous debate”) which he maintains is censorship that causes people to try to kill Republicans …

 
Matt Yglesias pointing out this absolute absurdity from the Forsyth County GOP (hooray NC!):



Just a perfect encapsulation of the modern GOP. Not a care in the world whether an absurd factual statement is true or not; all that matters to them is that it FEELS like it COULD be true.
 
Putting this novel-length tweet in two threads because it is a pretty insane roadmap to the argument Trump/Vance are making now …

"No what you have are bullets and the hope that when your guns are empty that I'm no longer standing.

"Why won't you die? Beneath this mask there is more than flesh. Beneath this mask there is an idea Mr. Creedy, and ideas are bulletproof."

+1. I'm inclined to believe that the internal polls taken by Trump's campaign are bad, worse than those being publicly released, especially from right-wing pollsters. So his campaign is freaking out and the whole MAGA movement is just melting down. And what you get when it melts down is the unhinged lunacy we're seeing right now.

I think Team Trump also thinks they weren’t getting the juice they expected from the assassination attempt, so they are heating the rhetoric and upping the stakes to drive the intense response they crave.

Presidents and politicians who are respected and normal - Reagan, Truman, Ford - gain sympathy and support when they are assassination targets. Trump is easily the most controversial president of our lifetime, even more than Nixon. He may be loved by his base, but he's hated by an even larger number of people, as the popular vote in 2016 and 2020 proved. And like it or not, that's definitely going to be a factor in how people respond to these assassination attempts. I'm not saying that most people want him dead, but I do think a majority of Americans simply aren't going to respond to attempts on his life the way they did to Reagan or Truman or Ford, or members of Congress like Giffords or Scalise.

Checking to see how many ZZLP posters have offered Trump free tickets to a play at Ford Theater.

And if Iran is somehow behind all this, maybe Iran will consider hiring this guy, who has a bit of a shaky record but will never give up:View attachment 3101

Actually, this latest guy Routh sort of reminds one of old Wile E. Coyote.
But no, no ZZLP posters are buying a ticket for trump to anything except maybe to Harris’ Inauguration party

At this point it's like Vance and Trump are not even talking to one another and are running entirely separate campaigns that have no connection to one another. I'm wondering how much the two of them talk to one another during a typical week, or how often their campaign staffs talk with one another to plan strategy. Melania has already become his Phantom First Lady, now Vance is rapidly turning into his Phantom Running Mate.

I was listening to Hannity today and he was sharing an acccount of this second assassination attempt. Somewhere in there he talked about his relationship with Trump and how it began with him reporting on him, or his job was the reason he was around him or whatever, but made a specific statement saying he only hung out with Trump for work not pleasure.

Really surprised me, he felt it necessary to draw a line in his relationship with Trump stating it was professional.
