I know you guys love you some Rogan alumni.

I'll never understand all these people torching their credibility making absurd arguments to defend a doomed candidate.

And there’s literally replies saying Silver has “revealed himself” as hanging with nazis and MAGA. The desperation is so palpable. Blame your own team cause your star QB is laying concussed and should have retired two years ago

Is it just me or does it feel like trump getting shot at is already pretty much out the news cycle and the country has moved on?

I got a hunch why that’s kinda obvious

While I don't like to make excuses for him, this is unnecessary. He is recovering from an assassination attempt. He probably is taking medication that makes him tired.

How's his boots taste?

And all those moderates and independents who are pro choice, who actually believed him when he said it's up to the states, will wonder "what happened" and "he lied to us" when the ban goes into effect.

NO ****!!

And with Vance in toe now, a 6-week ban would NOT surprise me in the least. But leave it to them to not realize many women don't even realize they are pregnant at 6 weeks.

This Iran/Trump news crazy

Haven't read more than one article about it but it sounds kind of par for the course and not anything crazy at all. Aren't other countries constantly plotting to take out presidents and former presidents? ....which is why they have a lifetime secret service detail?

Secret Service tightened security around Trump after learning of alleged Iranian assassination plot

The Trump campaign was informed about the “evolving threat.” Officials said there was no indication of any link to the attempt on Trump's life in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

"The Biden administration obtained intelligence in recent weeks about an Iranian assassination plot against former President Donald Trump, and the information led the Secret Service to ramp up security around the former president, according to three U.S. officials with knowledge of the matter.

But the officials said there was no indication the plot had any link to the assassination attempt on the former president Saturday carried out by a 20-year-old American at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania. U.S. investigators say the evidence so far indicates the gunman, Thomas Matthew Crooks, acted alone.

CNN first reported on the Iranian threat.

According to Iranian state media, Iran’s mission to the United Nations dismissed the allegations of an assassination plot as “unsubstantiated and malicious.

After learning of the heightened threat from Iran, the White House National Security Council contacted senior officials at the Secret Service “to be absolutely sure [the Secret Service officials] continued to track the latest reporting,” a national security official told NBC News.

The Trump campaign was informed about the “evolving threat,” and the Secret Service “surged resources and assets for the protection of former President Trump,” the official said. “All of this was in advance of Saturday.”

Share the hunch?

They can’t put a strong spin on it to make it a rallying cry. They openly had their fingers crossed the shooter would be left leaning or a minority. As it became more and more obvious that’s not the case it’s gotten a little more quiet
