Yes, because it can't not be - but this is neither the time nor the place to get into it. Especially when you close with insults that were simply not necessary to make your point.

Trump Assassination Attempt
- Thread starter Ebionite
- Start date
I just plan to keep my head down, honestly. I was going to go out and pick up a few things at the store this evening, but am reconsidering that. Not that I live in an unsafe place, but... I don't really need to get more butter right now.
Oh, please. Even a pathetic tweet looks better than silence about it. RFJ Jr has Secret Service detail, too, and he put out a strong response (all presidential candidates do). Even Harris hasn't said a thing. Nothing. Obama even said something.

I can't imagine what you felt insulted by.
I think that's a perfectly understandable reaction to all of this. I hope you and all other American members here stay safe.
Eh, you'll be okay. Let's use reason, now, and not be irrational.

Yes, Biden shouldn't be saying anything about it at the moment, regardless of what his alleged health problems are. It's not his place as POTUS to speculate or express personal sentiment to something that just happened when we don't know what's going on, yet.
And like I said, he's probably tied up right now dealing with this situation. The last thing that ought to be on his mind right now is making statements; later is fine, right now he should be busy managing the situation.
Perhaps it was just that some crazy shooter was motivated by Biden, but there have been a few other attempts on Trump's life before 2020, going back to 2016.
I'm just seeing this news report.
Too close to home. I live in this county.
There was a car cruise at this venue today I planned on attending until this last evening, when I decided to attend another that was about 5 miles closer to me.

RFK Jr is not in office right now. He's not busy the way Biden ought to be right now dealing with this incident.
He's not busy. He's at his vacation home.
Trump is the biggest threat to democracy. That is the truth and it has not changed. And if you think this is going to stop people from pointing it out you are wrong. Trump is a wanna be fascist, he tried to overthrow a fair and free election, he is a convicted felon, an adjudicated rapist, a danger to national security, a danger to the planet.
And I still condemn all political violence.

Unless he has temporarily turned over power to VP Harris, he's busy or "on-call" 24/7/365.
It doesn't get anyone anywhere to try to pressure or guilt Biden to say something. If that is the rule, then future presidents would be subject to the same pressure & guilt when there's no room or reason for it.
You sound like a high pressure salesperson trying to get someone to buy something before the offer expires.

Does anyone know about any other victims? Was a rally attendee killed? I'm not sure if that's what I'm hearing on the news from interviews with spectators, etc. or what.
RFK is still complaining he can't get a secret service detail
The news says shooter and an attendee are dead and another injured.

Yes. An attendee was killed. The Butler County DA has confirmed that.

That depends on where you live. Here in Maine, getting a firearm just requires passing a background check and that's only if you get it from a licensed dealer.
And it's not as if there are metal detectors between states.
You do realize that it's someone else who writes all these statements and posts to social media, right? It's not actually him. They usually have PR teams who do this for them. And an attempted assassination attempt on your electorial rival easily overrides whatever else you have on the agenda at the moment.
