Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Sometimes I wonder if this is all a setup. Sadly.
It absolutely is. Both times they were his own voters. Not some communist immigrant transgender drag queen.
Not to mention, the temporal proximity of this “assassination attempt” to the Roberts SCOTUS leak is, shall we say… suspicious.

FTFY
I am thinking same as @Zerlyna@lemmy.world. The first time was a wackadoodle that voted Donald. This time it stinks of desperate and paid. IMO by someone from Donald's campaign as they couldn't capitalize on the first attempt.
I read that he was a never-trumpet Nikki Hayley supporter.
Here’s what I find especially odd. Trump’s trip to the golf course was apparently “unplanned” and “not on his official schedule.”

Yet the gunman had been there for 12 hours:

Was he just waiting there in case Trump randomly decided to go golfing that day?
That honestly wouldn't surprise me. If you've seen the guy's Tweets and YouTube videos, he clearly wasn't very smart or sane. Dude literally travelled to Ukraine to try to "help."
First time was too close for trump taste so now they just told the shooter to roam around but to be sure to not shoot at the orange glowing stick
And he’ll pardon them when he’s president again.
Or at least that what they got told
#OperationConserve = #OperationKonserve the first attempt didn't work as they wanted with Biden dropping out and because they have no original ideas....
