This was a set-up. There is no way a man with a rifle could get past the security perimeter and crawl up onto a roof within 450 feet of the former President. Another CIA (deep state) op: a) they find a misguided "Antifa useful idiot" who thinks he's seeking justice; b) they let him breach the security perimeter; c) he attempts to kill Trump; d) local police sniper/Secret Service blow would-be assassin's head off; e) CIA has engineered an outcome where local police/ Secret Service conveniently get rid of the evidence.

This bystander saw the shooter and tried to report it:

Patricia, nothing would surprise me. The other alternative is just plain incompetence which seems to be a common feature under the Biden administration. The pull out from of Afghanistan is just one example.

It is squarely - no matter what YOU think - lies in the Democrats filthy-dirty-blood ridden hands!!! HILARY CLINTON, BARACK and MICHELLE OBAHMA come very quickly to mind!!!

They have fed people with the hysterical anti-Trump rhetoric that it was ripe for some nut-job to think he could change the world.

It was a ticking time bomb

Hollywood celebrities reacted with outrage to Trump’s shock defeat of Hillary Clinton in 2016. 80s pop icon Madonna spoke of wanting to “blow up the White House;” actor and activist Peter Fonda called for the president’s youngest son, Barron, to be “put in a cage with pedophiles;” and comedienne Kathy Griffin grabbed headlines when she posed for a photoshoot holding a mockup of Trump’s bloodied and severed head.

Addressing the audience at Britain’s Glastonbury Festival in 2018, Johnny Depp wondered “when was the last time an actor assassinated a president?,” adding “maybe it’s time.”

Broadway star Carole Cook several months later, when she asked a photographer “where’s John Wilkes Booth when you need him?”

Representative Dan Goldman declared that his fellow New Yorker cannot be allowed to “see public office again.”

“He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be, he has to be eliminated,” Goldman proclaimed.

Michigan State Representative Cynthia Johnson was stripped of her committee assignments in 2020 when she warned Trump and his “trumpers” to “walk lightly,” or else her “soldiers” would “make them pay.”

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi used similar rhetoric last week when she declared that the upcoming presidential election “is not a normal election,” and that Trump “must be stopped. He cannot be president.”

Two weeks before the shooting, BBC reporter David Aaronovitch wrote on X that if he were President “Biden, I’d hurry up and have Trump murdered on the basis that he is a threat to America’s security.”

Stripped of protectionHad Mississippi Rep. Bennie Thompson got his way, Trump would have had no Secret Service protection at Saturday’s rally. Earlier this year, Thompson proposed legislation that would strip this protection from former presidents convicted of felonies, as Trump was in May. The act was explicitly tailored to target Trump, Thompson’s office said, explaining that the former president’s criminal charges “have created a new exigency that Congress must address.”

Immediately following Saturday’s shooting, one of Thompson’s staffers wrote on Facebook that the shooter should “get some shooting lessons so you don’t miss next time.”

Yes, I know all those incidents, including the subtle one which isn't talked about much. Remember when Trump finished his State of the Union speech and Pelosi gleefully, behind Trump's back, tore up his speech. That was a metaphor for what she and others were intent on doing to Trump. It is a mental illness.

I have seen first hand people in the throes of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Many were inconsolable when Trump won the election in 2016. Definitely, a psychosis, when every waken moment a person obsesses about how Trump can be destroyed. I don't see how America overcomes this psychosis which will be transferred to any future Republican candidate with the same playbook.

I’d say we aren’t being told half of what’s going on in the USA and this derangement must end in civil war. Can’t see it ending any other way no matter who wins the election

It is certainly a verbal civil war and some civil unrest. Remember antifa and BLM, attempted assassination of Kavanaugh and now Trump. The country would be better off with a divorce. Otherwise it keeps fracturing between left and right.

Yes, they are like two different races at war with each other. They would be better off splitting into two countries at least. Humanity has a circuit it is destined to repeat and it cannot be stopped. That’s why it’s called revolution and we are at the point in the circuit where revolution is fomenting. In NZ a rift has been created between the public service and the public. They are not like us anymore. They have had their morals mandated and it’s a much lower sense of morality than the public. They are no longer like us at all and it has created enmity. The circuit humanity repeats is all cause and effect, and free will a myth. We are destined to repeat this cycle over and over again. I wrote about it here. https://thestonetablet.substack.com/p/the-great-repeating-circuit-of-civilisation
