THE TRUMP PRESIDENCY

[Number 47]

Sorry, but the very same people upset about this engaged in the exact same behavior when it was the opposite party and much closer to death, and they did it over, and over, and over, and thought it was the funniest thing that some people found it in bad taste.

I really don't give a shit that they're upset now that it's their team.

Some people--I went back and looked, and it includes you--found the act just as despicable, regardless of party, and that's commendable. It's the way it should be. The attack in Pelosi's home was awful, so are these attempts. Full stop. One isn't more jokeworthy than the other.

But a precedent was set, and it's that jokes are just fine.

I went back and looked a little too. Cruelty in politics runs in stages. Nobody here is clean. As a group I hope we all learn from each other so we can all carry on.

And laugh a little.

Shocking ...

LD, would you consider comparing Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler an "outrageous" statement?

The comparison is totally invalid. There's nothing accurate about it. I'm not surprised by it, because people nowadays have very little knowledge of History.

Florida Gov. DeSantis says state will conduct investigation into second Trump assassination attempt
Investigation will look into how gunman was able to get within 500 yards of Trump


Trump assassination attempt: Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pushes more charges against suspect
Ryan Wesley Routh is facing federal charges after Trump assassination attempt


Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said he would like to see an attempted murder charge brought against failed Trump assassination suspect Ryan Wesley Routh, which he noted carries a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Routh, 58, has been charged federally with possessing a gun with a scratched-out number and with possessing a gun illegally as a felon, though more serious charges are likely pending.

"I think this is an offense that should merit life in prison, and if we are not going to go to the fullest extent of the law, you are lowering the threshold into what someone in the future may try to do something like this," DeSantis said during a Tuesday morning press conference in West Palm Beach.


The governor assigned Florida Attorney General Ashley Moody to investigate the assassination attempt against former President Trump on Sunday.

DeSantis said Florida’s Office of Statewide Prosecution may have a stronger case than the federal government.

"In my judgment, it is not in the best interest of our state or of our nation to have the same federal agencies that are seeking to prosecute Donald Trump leading this investigation, especially when the most serious, straightforward offense constitutes a violation of state law, not federal law," DeSantis said at the news conference.


Florida is conducting an independent investigation into the incident while federal authorities pursue their own.

"In addition to holding the suspect accountable, the public deserves to know the truth about how this assassination attempt came to be," DeSantis said. "I don't even know that the club is open yet. I think they open in October. I don't think it's even open for the members yet, so why would he have chosen now to burrow in?"

Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach did not immediately confirm whether it currently remains closed to members. Routh's attorney could not immediately be reached for comment.


Routh was arrested Sunday after authorities spotted a gun poking out of the shrubbery on the golf course where Trump was playing that afternoon. Routh allegedly camped outside the golf course with food and a rifle for nearly 12 hours, phone records revealed.

Routh did not fire any shots, never had Trump in his line of sight and sped away after the agent who spotted him fired in his direction, officials said. He was arrested in a neighboring county.


"We'll see how it was that this guy was able to burrow himself in the bushes for apparently 12 hours and how that came to happen," DeSantis said.

I think LM's point is very valid. Apparently 'decorum' is only expected on one side.

And, for the record, I wasn't joking about the attempted assassination of Trump. Despite what many of you think of my levels of decorum, I would never joke about that. I don't think I've ever displayed that kind of hatred nor disrespect.

Dude. Come on. The former president was almost killed. Twice.

I don’t care what HAS been said. It stops now.

Ya dig?

My son finished writing a theatrical script for a stage play in May of this year. It's a political satire and the main character gets shot in the ear. After the attempt on Trump in July my son and I were talking about the script and I asked if he had thought about revising the play due to recent news. He said it crossed his mind. He asked my thoughts. I quietly contemplated for a beat, turned to him and said, "fuck 'em".

As the late great Jimmy Buffett once said, "Tragedies very often become comedies, and they better become comedies real fast or you're in a lot of trouble."
