Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Yeah I do not like the man at all whatsoever, but I wish this didn't happen. Even for his own sake.
I respect your opinion but cannot agree, and I don’t care if others see that as wrong. He is a vile human who deserves nothing.
He deserves less than nothing.
The first thing he did after getting shot was blame democrats instead of stopping the nazi rhetoric
That's despite them laughing and joking that palosis husband got attacked. They supported Trump and still get blamed. He has no honour whatsoever. He's still a massive lier who has promised suffering to many who elect him and to impede justice
The only reason I wish it didn't happen is because it puts other politicians at risk and further empowers right wing crazies
Honestly, he deserved it. He deserves jail (he raped multiple women). He defamed the women he raped. He cheated his way through life and brags about screwing over the trades he hires ruining their lives. He's degrading the rights of everyone he isn't and marked a return of racism and bigotry. He makes jokes about other people getting injured. He's a bully and now since people don't call him out until now, he's successfully raised to the spot of president bully
He uses people, and abuses them and is following a mafia playbook.
The only surprise is that it took so long honestly... Everyone expected it eventually (especially after he promised to be a dictator and free criminals).
It's not a surprise it was a registered republican who did the shooting either, because many of them have probably felt screwed over by him too and there are some decent people on that side too who are likely sick of the extremism
After getting shot AT* Theres no proof he was hit or even grazed by a round.
I would have called you crazy originally.. But, the facts are that he isn't releasing medical records and has only released info from someone who isn't even a registered doctor anymore.
He stood up on stage and told everyone he was a quick healer, and his ear looked 100% ok.
But I agree. If it touched him at all (which is now questionable), it definitely wasn't a "2cm wide wound". And, it's a nothing wound. Even in primary school he'd be given a bandaid and told to go back to class

He actually did get grazed.
I wish it didn't happen, but I would have much rather it have been an assassination instead of an attempt.
My current hope is that he lives long enough to see Harris win in a landslide. Then he can die.
It's the closest thing to justice we are likely to ever get.
