The Trump Assassination Attempt

36 Comments

This will have the same effect that the attempt on Reagan’s life did in 1981: Unite much of the country in his favor.

[Late-night update]

A white-hot anger on this July 13th. And Bill Ackman finally metaphorically plights his troth to Trump.

[Sunday-morning update]

I agree with the last point, but as Trump pointed out in the debate, Biden never fires anybody. Maybe because he’s never really been in charge. If Mayorkas refused the request to provide addition resources to the Secret Service to protect Trump, and he keeps his job, he should be impeached. Again.

Trump, Biden, and the shame of the corporate media.

Honestly, they seem to have no shame.

Who’s the real threat to democracy?

Hint: It’s not Donald Trump.

Literally Dodging A Bullet

It’s amazing how lucky we are that he had his head turned that way, and was scratched instead of killed like Kennedy. What chaos that would have been. Imagine the Republican convention tomorrow, when he hasn’t even named his heir in announcing his pick for VP, and no one claims to know who it is other than him. Who would be the leader of the party? Who would rise? I’d guess it would have to be Speaker Johnson. He is, after all, currently third in line for the presidency. But would he pick up the chalice, or simply supervise the process of choosing?

The Coverup

A short history.

It’s not possible to hate these awful people enough.

“Well, anyway.”

As noted, the Democrats have given Republicans many great campaign quotes on Biden’s unfitness. They can’t unwrite and unsay them. And I love the look on poor Meloni’s face when Biden calls Zelensky “Putin.”

BTW, if you want to get completely snockered in a Biden speech, take a swig at every “Look,” and “Anyway.” They’re verbal ticks that he can’t avoid when he doesn’t know what to say next, or when his train of thought derails.

“Our Brezhnev, our Pravda, our Soviet Union.”

I sure wish this didn’t sound completely plausible.

Joe Biden and a tear in the fabric.

“A Good Man”

The BS about Biden is thoroughly deconstructed.

[Wednesday-morning update]

Now they take on the BS about Biden’s “accomplishments.”

He’s been a disaster.

[Thursday-morning update]

John Podhoretz makes the case for schadenfreude. It’s pretty compelling. This couldn’t happen to a more awful political party, at least in this country.

This is hilarious. As Gutfeld said yesterday, it’s like the Biden family is holding the Democrats hostage, and the media is negotiating. “He wants an In’n’Out! He wants to talk to his daughter. He’ll only talk to Clooney.”

[Noon update]

Dems facing the abyss within the abyss.
