I’m sorry. My emotions are high. But are you slamming President for not speaking for another hour?

Absolutely not! I am in nothing but awe for how Pres. Trump handled the situation. That fist resolutely raised! He's the toughest SOB I know.

Teddy Roosevelt (sp) the Rough Rider spoke after assassination attempt with a bullet in him for an 1 hr... that's why Elon Musk said toughest Prez since Teddy...

Roosevelt was shot at close range by a pistol to the chest. He, as a military man, sized up the wound as potentially not fatal/critical and decided to ascend the podium and give his speech—a speech of 45 minutes! This was all “Bull Moose” Teddy. The crowd loved it. That was an era before mass shooting, large conspiracies and high power weapons of great accuracy.

The resemblance here to Trump was that Roosevelt would *not* be stopped by a cowardly assassin. In similar vain, Trump pumping his fist is in the best reflection of the great tradition uniquely set by Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy was always a man’s man during his career. The people loved him and so it is with Trump.

Trump often said while campaigning in 2016, "I don't understand why "they" (his MAGA devotees) love me so much--but I love it"!! He is the "people's POTUS"...plain and simple. He comes from wealth--but he LOVES the USA and our Divinely-inspired Constitution (unlike the DEMONrats who do everything they can to rip it to shreds).

I’m sure that’s not her intent. It’s just a piece of trivia linked to TR’s assassination attempt…

I’m sure you’re right. My emotions are running very high today as it all sinks in.

Having failed in this attempt, will the Deep State go for it again? Since too many of the people of this nation are so degraded and weak, I think they might, believing they will hide behind ‘ deniable plausibility’ ( James’ Biden’s quote in regards to all the Biden Family criminality).

I heard yesterday that Jill Biden was a mafia princess. (This was before the assassination attempt.). Haven’t checked that out yet.

I’m thinking of Jezebel and Lady MacBeth. No limits to the lust for power.

'Meanwhile, some of the president's critics including Bill Ackman brought back a tweet of Biden's saying it was 'time to put Trump in a bullseye' just five days before the shooting - as the DNC frantically attempted to pull all TV ads'.

What a delight, to see our hometown in the news for this, remembered forever as the site of an assassination attempt.

For something like this, they usually get one shot and if so, they blew it. Now his security will be doubled or tripled, etc.

I hope it's private security. In hindsight, RFK Jr. is LUCKY to have been denied SS protection, even though it's cost him a lot of money.
