LRC is a joke. The biggest news story of the week and they allow it to be misrepresented in the title of the most active thread on their site.
Trump was not shot at again.
This has been pointed out several times by several posters.
There's a long arguement on here by the resident misinformed poster, Newname, who keeps getting it wrong that Trump was not shot at. And why is it surprising if the site owners and moderators cannot even get it right?
How does this align with the site owners personal politics? Is that what is going on here?
The initial reports were suggesting that Trump was shot at. I posted that was not the case as soon as I heard, but I had no way of correcting the thread title at that point.
I understand your position and thank you for bringing this to light.
It still does not explain, however, why the site owners and moderators do not revise it like they do for so many other threads.
The shootings,school and other, in this country ARE sensational: dramatic, alarming, and frequent (in case you hadnt noticed.) If anything, they arent being taken seriously enough. The world at large is alarmed and horrified, we are alarmed and horrified; but the key people in government arent that bothered! Most Americans are alarmed and want somthing real and meaningfull done, but we arent strong enough or personally threatened enough, and under the thumb of politicians who are under the thumb of the gun lobby, the gun makers, and the gunnies who claim their "Constitutional right" to own AR-15 for protection and decimating wildlife. Its damn sensational!
This one is triggered that the libs missed again. Wow
Wrong. I no way suggest that the President be hit. Even if he is a would-be king in a Democracy. I was clear--to open minds--that The Guns, the Shootings are horrifying, even at a tyrant bully and we need to make it stop--repeat, stop! Claro?
How come he doesn't say " your fired" to the security guards hired to protect magalargo? Does anyone know if he even hired a security guard company? Who are they? I bet he is taking advantage of American tax payers and just using the government to provide security. How did the shooter even know he would be playing at this time? Did the orangeman say if he was playing -12 under par at the time with 3 holes in one?
1) Just to get this out there, IF someone successfully assassinates Trump, Trump is a clear victim there, and I never blame victims.
According to the dictionary definition of the word, someone who suffers 100 wasp stings after throwing a bunch of rocks at a nest is also a "victim." I don't condone violence, but sometimes those chickens come home to roost.
Public figures who sow discontent and violent fantasies for personal gain are putting themselves at risk. They may not have anything to fear from our corrupt justice system or our feckless legislature, but a populace full of gun nuts and angry, internet-addled minds is a wasps nest that Trump has been gleefully poking at for a long, long time.
In just the last week, Homeboy got sloppy toppy from a famous racist, claimed that black people are eating cats and dogs by the litter (spurring bomb and mass shooting threats in Springfield, OH) and heaped praise on Hungarian dictator Victor Orban. Poke poke poke!
I guess when you attempt a coup, constantly use the most inflammatory rhetoric possible, talk about being a dictator, and routinely suggest we'll have civil war if you're not the president, you encourage desperate people to do you harm. I hope Trump learns to be more responsible with his words and actions. His irresponsible leadership is putting his life in jeopardy.
Title should be changed to: Trump assassination attempted.....Again!
Actually, it should be "Man with a gun was no where near trump but his followers are all like REEEEEE"
Ryan Wesley Routh has had his first appearance in federal court. During an eight-minute hearing, prosecutors levied two charges against him: possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a firearm with an obliterated serial number.
He was there to kill Trump and his only charges under the Merrick Garland Justice system are gun charges!

WE have to get Biden/Harris/Walz out of power
Without gun controls laws sponsored by Dems there might not be any charges at all.
Did he fire at Trump? Hard to convict based solely on intent.....
