President Trump is alive and well after another assassination attempt, which just took place late Sunday afternoon at one of his golf courses in Florida. This marks the second attempt to kill the former president in almost exactly two months. In the first incident, Trump was wounded.

In today’s attack, the Secret Service engaged the would-be killer and his scoped AK rifle with gunfire. Thankfully, this Secret Service team kept the aspiring killer away from the former president.

The suspect left his gun behind and fled, but was picked up not long after.

From CBS News:

Former President Donald Trump is safe after gunshots were fired in his vicinity on Sunday, his campaign said in statement. The FBI and U.S. Secret Service are investigating the incident, which the FBI said “appears to be an attempted assassination of former President Trump.”

 

“President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity,” Steven Cheung, Trump campaign communications director, said in a brief initial statement. 

 

Two people familiar with the matter told CBS News that a male with a high-powered rifle was seen near Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, around 2 p.m. The man was pointing the rifle at the golf course, where the former president was at the time.

 

The armed suspect was spotted by a member of Trump’s Secret Service team two holes ahead from where the president was golfing, on the edge of the course, multiple law enforcement officials told CBS News. The suspect fled the scene, jumping into a car after he was engaged by Secret Service agents with multiple gunshots. 

 

A car with the same license plate number was stopped in Martin County, north of the golf course, and one individual was taken into custody, the officials said. An AK-47 style weapon and scope were recovered at the scene by the golf course. No motive has been determined at this time. 

We’ll have more as this story develops.

Former President Donald Trump appears to have survived a second assassination attempt. Shots were fired in West Palm Beach, Fla., just outside his golf course, prompting Secret Service agents to take Trump to safety “after agents opened fire on a man who was spotted with what may have been a gun while the former president was on the links, according to law enforcement sources.”

“Officials believe the shots fired at Trump International Golf Club were intended for former President Donald Trump, according to sources familiar on the matter,” CNN reported.

Sean Hannity, who had been invited to golf with Trump on Sunday but didn’t end up participating, has spoken with Trump and explained how events transpired swiftly and how the Secret Service responded with remarkable efficiency.

According to Hannity, Trump and real estate investor Steve Witkoff were about to putt on the fifth hole when they heard gunshots. “They both had exactly the same story, which was that they heard pop pop, pop pop,” Hannity recounted. Witkoff provided additional details, emphasizing the immediate response from the Secret Service. Within seconds, agents had surrounded the former president, shielding him from potential danger. Hannity noted, “You had snipers with tripods. They knew the direction where the shots had been fired, and they had eyes on the location.”

“I have confirmed with both the president and with Mr. Witkoff that the gun has been found,” Hannity said. “They identified it as an AK 47.”

      “The shooter has been identified as Ryan Routh, whose social media suggest was a Trump-hating, Ukraine-war-supporting liberal.”

      • Wow, over 160 comments on this article about somebody with a gun 500 yards from Donald Trump.

        Gee, I wish you folks would get this upset when 20 first-graders are shot to death.

        • “Gee, I wish you folks would get this upset when 20 first-graders are shot to death.”

          We are horrified and outraged, we just don’t start blaming things that are not the cause, for example, the gun didn’t do anything by its self and it was killer that did it.

          We are outraged and horrified that the anti-gun orgs and Biden and Kamala and the rest of the anti-gun people like you, so gladly want to metaphorically dance in the blood of the innocent by trying to remove the blame from the mentally ill killer and place it on a non-living gun to use those victims as an agenda prop.

          We are outraged and horrified that anti-gun orgs have spent zero dollars on actually fortifying schools with physical means so these killers would have less of a chance of succeeding. The larger anti-gun orgs spend millions of dollars every year on trying to blame the gun and remove a constitutional right from millions of law abiding people who did nothing wrong. Yet, with those millions of dollars every year they pay their leadership enough to enjoy a nice and lavish life style over 80% of the people in the country can’t afford – but – spend zero on simple things like metal detector portals they could pay for and donate to schools. If 60% of all the money, in the last three years, the anti-gun orgs used to blame the gun and take away a constitutional right for millions that are law abiding and do nothing wrong, was used to buy metal detector portals and donate them to every public and private school in the country, today every public and private school in the country would have metal detector portals now at all their entrances.

          You want to save lives anti-pun orgs? Then put your money where your mouth is and help beef up physical security things in schools with that money. The number one thing all school shootings share in common is the gun wasn’t detected when the killer entered the school.

          We are outraged and horrified that these events happen, we grieve over the loss and injury. We just don’t do the metaphorical dancing in the blood of the innocent that you do and we are not going to help you do it by focusing on the gun instead of the mentally ill killer like you want us to do.

    • Apparently a Nikki Haley and Ramaswamy supporter:

      “Routh is the owner of Camp Box Honolulu, a shed building company with few positive reviews. While Routh hadn’t posted on his X account in a year, he frequently criticized politicians including Trump, current President Joe Biden, and celebrities like Bruno Mars.

      Many of his replies are nonsensical, including one directed towards X’s owner Elon Musk, in which he seemed to entertain purchasing a rocket from the billionaire. “I would like to buy a rocket from you. I wish to load it with a warhead for Putin’s Black Sea mansion bunker to end him. Can you give me a price please. It can be old and used as not returning,” Routh wrote.

      Routh was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, according to one of his posts in which he encouraged the Republican presidential candidates to continue their races. “You cannot quit. Why. You must stay on the ballot to the end. You must fight. You must continue giving speeches and push all the way to election day no matter the election results. Do not give in. Join Nikki and keep working. Never give up,” he wrote.“

      • https://www.newsnationnow.com/politics/nikki-haley-south-carolina-primary-democrat-support/

        “One political group supporting Haley is even sending Democratic voters letters to vote for Haley if they haven’t voted already.

        “I’m a Democrat but I’m really sick of Trump and she (Haley) seems like a reasonable, normal human being. To me, that’s better than the alternative,” said Connie Porter, a registered Democrat who is considering voting for Haley in the primary.”

        It’s like you forgot there was a national push by D and R neocons to push Trump off the ballot using Vivek then, once he proved too populist, Haley.

      • minor49iq…The perp is officially in deep, deep, deep Welcome to the Florida criminal justice system dodo. He isn’t going anywhere, it’s sorta like having the Wolverine character’s claws buried deep in him.

        Obviously support for Haley, etc. is a ruse and Pablum for useful idiots like you. By his actions he’s a deranged gutless democRat who should face a firing squad of which I would volunteer.

        TRUMP/VANCE 2024.

        • Instead of banning guns, we need to ban communists. As Ronald Reagan once said, “We begin bombing in 5 minutes”, but instead of dropping bombs, we should drop commies. From a helicopter. It worked in Chile, It’ll work again in the USA!

        • “The perp is officially in deep, deep, deep”

          “perp”? What crime did he commit?

          So let me get this right, he’s been charged for being a felon in possession and having a firearm with an obliterated serial number.

          But most on this list say because of recent Supreme Court decisions, it’s unconstitutional to ban felons from possessing a firearm.

          And many on this list support ghost guns without serial numbers, nothing in the Constitution about serial numbers so that’s an unconstitutional charge as well.

          He was just bearing arms under the constitution like any good American (Florida is permit-less carry), so why was he arrested? He wasn’t even on golf course property, he was outside the fence.

          And the guy was never closer than 500 yards, never discharged a firearm much less shot anyone… So how do y’all justify his arrest for a pre-crime?

            • He was concealed… In the bushes, outside the fence and not on DJT property.

              He hadn’t fired a weapon, much less shot anybody, help me to understand why he was arrested for ‘pre-crime’?

              • Serious question are you suffering from a stroke or long term lead poisoning? Or is this just your typical retarded lying/pilpul?

              • All you have is insults once again, why don’t you just answer the question:

                So how do y’all justify his arrest for a pre-crime?

          • “What crime did he commit?” – Pointing a gun at an area where people were actively golfing is the obvious one. I’ve yet to see commenters on TTAG arguing in favor of pointing weapons at innocent people going about their lives.

            784.011 Assault.—
            (1) An “assault” is an intentional, unlawful threat by word or act to do violence to the person of another, coupled with an apparent ability to do so, and doing some act which creates a well-founded fear in such other person that such violence is imminent.

            • “Pointing a gun at an area where people were actively golfing“

              Good info, but no one stated he was pointing the weapon at anyone, Secret Service agent saw a gun barrel at the fence and fired.

              And is that how it’s usually handled, if you see someone leaning a rifle against a fence 300 yds away you can shoot at them assuming they intend to harm someone?

              Still seems like they were using deadly force against him because they were guessing about his intent, ’pre-crime’ enforcement.

              He can just say he’s a member of the militia and had set up pulling guard duty because he was concerned about the threats against Trump’s life. He was there providing a higher level of overwatch because obviously the golf course at Jupiter wasn’t adequately secured.

              • If you’re pretending not to be able to distinguish between having a rifle barrel at a fence and pointing it through the fence, you clearly have a faulty concept of muzzle discipline and should not be handling firearms.

        • “wasn’t poor despite what the weapon selection may have suggested“

          He certainly wasn’t going to qualify for Donald Trump’s wealth-care tax cut…

          “In court when a judge asked Routh a series of questions to determine if he qualified for a public defender, Roth said he earns a monthly income of around $3,000, owns two trucks in Hawaii that are worth approximately $1,000 each, owns no real estate and has zero savings“

          • Given what goes on in mental illness over time it wouldn’t surprise me at all if everything was blown through if he decomped. Also if this bland a comment drew that much of a redirect from you it is probably worth exploring further. And lol to truck only worth 1k, if it starts add a decimal point.

            • “Bland comment”?

              So you were baselessly speculating on his financial position, I provided actual facts from the courtroom, and you get your panties all in a wad?

              It seems like most on this list, you have a problem with the actual facts of history.

              Well as they say, the facts don’t care about your feelings.

              • Whoops – History? A problem?. You lose.

                You mentioned that Vattel never checked the laws in the United States. His book was published in 1758. What “United States”?

              • Don’t need to, Hawaii has a similar cost of living to many areas of NY and to live there, travel, own property and maintain any standard of living requires a certain level of starting wealth and maintaining income. Given several things mentioned low 100k yearly income would be minimal. As to anything else we will see what else shakes loose and what charges get upgraded. But then again I bothered to learn about things beyond propaganda.

        • Killing rivals. Censoring the people. Suspending constitutional rights.

          But they have noble motives. They’re trying to save democracy.

          miner49er has already jumped in to play it off. He’s such a good fascist front man.

          • Aren’t we a republic? Last I checked democracy was a horrible form of government that tended to implode within a generation (or whenever they voted on how to spend the treasury).

            • ‘Many forms of Government have been tried, and will be tried in this world of sin and woe. No one pretends that democracy is perfect or all-wise. Indeed it has been said that democracy is the worst form of Government except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time.…’
              Winston S Churchill, 11 November 1947

    • JWM, here’s what I don’t get :

      “In today’s attack, the Secret Service engaged the would-be killer and his scoped AK rifle with gunfire.”

      The Secret Service fired multiple times at the assailant and MISSED?

      You don’t get to be a SS agent if you don’t know how to shoot accurately. So, the lousy shot SS agents get assigned to Trump?

      They want him dead…

      • Depending on distance if the agents engaged with pistols (assuming undercover from context) that may not be too suspicious. Not that you are necessarily wrong but still details to shake out.

      • “They want him dead… “

        I don’t know of any democrat or liberal who wants Trump assassinated.

        Most people I know are more angry that he could have escaped legal responsibility by dying than the idea of him being killed.

        Frankly, many of us enjoy watching him be destroyed in detail by our jurisprudence system, that’s much more satisfying than a quick easy end.

      • I haven’t really seen anyone question (yet) how this fella had any idea of where and when to be there with a rifle? Who leaked such information to some wannabe who might be willing to attempt such an act? This was a casual, and from what I’ve heard, a rather unplanned golf outing. Not a planned campaign event. Who tipped Routh off?

    • The way I see it, not that I want this in any way whatsoever, is that if they do succeed in “eliminating Trump” (their words) then the GOP just runs Vance against Harris (their rules).

      • Well you know, the Republicans had their nominating convention and nominated Donald Trump for president of the United States.

        They could possibly withdraw that nomination, but it would be very unusual.

        But there is another way the Republicans could get shed of a bad candidate…

        I suspect the reason we see the Republican assassins gunning for Donald Trump is to give the party a way out of a terrible candidate.

  1. This also spiritual warfare. TDS is almost like the hatred of the jewish people. There’s some very nefarious entities that do not want Trump to be president of the USA. To me, that means he’s the definitely the right person for the job.

      • Lol cannot imagine why wordpress would go out of it’s way to make that post difficult/delayed. And yes every struggle against dominion has a spiritual aspect. Observing target selection is a backwards way of seeing what defenses and offenses are useful.

    • “There’s some very nefarious entities that do not want Trump to be president“

      It would be a real lame ass conspiracy, two attempts and the gang that couldn’t shoot straight has failed again.

      Or, it could just be some nut jobs who are looking for instant fame…

        • “Almost as lame as the fake lawsuit“

          No need to fret, the court dismissed the fake lawsuit:

          ‘”Utterly failed’: Judge tosses Giuliani’s defamation suit against President Joe Biden
          Kathleen CullitonSeptember 16, 2024

          A federal judge tossed former Donald Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani’s lawsuit against President Joe Biden because it “utterly failed” to prove a crucial point, court records show.
          New Hampshire judge Paul J. Barbadoro dismissed Giuliani’s defamation lawsuit Friday on the grounds that the former New York City mayor had failed to prove the court had jurisdiction over the U.S. president.“

        • If there’s any hatred, it’s probably from folks who are offended by Trump portraying every immigrant as murderers and rapists, or his bullshit stories about immigrants eating cats and dogs.

          Or any one of his hundreds of offensive statements.

            • Yeah, more fake bullshit from you people, Trump’s pal JP Mandel has already given up the game:

              Sun 15 Sep 2024 12.07 EDT

              In a stunning admission, the Republican vice-presidential candidate, JD Vance, said he was willing “to create stories” on the campaign trail while defending his spreading false, racist rumors of pets being abducted and eaten in a town in his home state of Ohio.
              Vance’s remarks came during an appearance on Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union, where he said he felt the need “to create stories so that the … media actually pays attention to the suffering of the American people”.

              This is just hilarious, from your link:

              “To be clear: this single incident does not confirm every particularity of Trump’s statement. The town is Dayton, not Springfield; cats alone were on the grill, not cats and dogs.“

              ‘It just exploded’: Springfield woman claims she never meant to spark false rumors about Haitians
              The woman behind an early Facebook post that helped spark baseless rumors about Haitians eating pets told NBC News that she feels for the immigrant community.

              SPRINGFIELD, Ohio — The woman behind an early Facebook post spreading a harmful and baseless claim about Haitian immigrants eating local pets that helped thrust a small Ohio city into the national spotlight says she had no firsthand knowledge of any such incident and is now filled with regret and fear as a result of the ensuing fallout.

              “It just exploded into something I didn’t mean to happen,” Erika Lee, a Springfield resident, told NBC News on Friday.
              Lee recently posted on Facebook about a neighbor’s cat that went missing, adding that the neighbor told Lee she thought the cat was the victim of an attack by her Haitian neighbors.

              • Words words more empty words and not a single solid refutation of claim or video evidence to the contrary. Lazy or retarded you suck compared to 2021 Miner.

              • I like how the story is all about pets. They can say “nobody is eating pets.”

                Okay. They all have migratory foul permits for those ducks and geese, right?

                Narrow the focus to a very specific lie and the truth goes unseen.

              • “Words words more empty words and not a single solid refutation of claim or video evidence“

                Well, I hate to point out the obvious, but there’s not gonna be video evidence of something that didn’t happen.

                But there’s plenty of video evidence of JP Mandel admitting that he “creates stories so the media actually pays attention…”.

                You folks are the ones claiming cats are being eaten by immigrants, the burden of proof is on you.

                Let’s see a police report, from local, county or state authorities.

                Both Trump and JP Mandel have claimed Springfield and it’s Haitian immigrants are the epicenter of the cat-eating, let’s see some evidence for that besides empty speech and claims.

                And you know, I myself have heard the actual audio evidence of Donald Trump admitting he “grabs them their pu**y” so you might want to start with him.

        • “Im talking about the pure hatred“

          Are you talking about this hatred:

          “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT”
          DJT

          Holy cow, what a week and small man he is, to get all emotional because some girl said she won’t vote for him.

          What a fragile ego.

      • Just like your buddy James Hodgkinson, who tried to waste a bunch of Republicans at a Congressional baseball game in 2017. He was a fat POS, and rumor was he was upset about his diabetes and his medical bills. He could have just got some exercise and went on a diet, but lefties and Democrats are lazy PsOS.

  2. This is also spiritual warfare. TDS is almost like the hatred of the jewish people. There’s some very nefarious entities that do not want Trump to be president of the USA. This means to me that he’s definitely the right person for the job.

  3. Who the fuck says an AK-47 is a high powered rifle?
    I love President Trump and I am waiting for his next Presidency. Dear Lord keep him safe from liberals assholes.

    • There’s a picture of the perp already. Pro Ukraine militant. Not naming him! Obviously why the pos wants DJT gone. Lies at 11😧

      • If he was truly Pro-Ukrainian, then he would be for Trump. Over half a million people have been killed in Eastern Ukraine simply because people supported a brain dead puppet.

        • “Over half a million people have been killed in Eastern Ukraine simply because people supported a brain dead puppet“

          Yes, I think Putin Overestimated the actual popular support for Trump when he gambled that Donald Trump would become the president in 2024.

          Putin, like Trump, did not realize what an intelligent and articulate candidate Kamala Harris would be.

          And his ‘special military operation’ did not spank NATO as he assumed it would, rather it brought two of the most powerful military forces in Europe into the bosom of NATO, Sweden and Finland.

          Not to mention exposing to the entire world the ‘mighty Russian military machine’ was just a paper tiger.

          For being a “great leader” as Trump claims Putin sure did miscalculate this one.

            • Dude says:

              “What does your reply have to do with my comment?“

              I literally quoted your statement that I am replying to:

              “Over half a million people have been killed in Eastern Ukraine simply because people supported a brain dead puppet“

              I’m pointing out Putin hopes to have Donald Trump, the brain dead puppet of the billionaire class wealthy elites, back in power because Trump has already publicly stated “Putin can do what he wants”.

              Of course Putin ‘says’ he wants Harris as president, he’s just doing his best to build more support for Donald Trump. But we know the facts, years ago Donald Trump’s National Security Advisor Michael Flynn was secretly receiving cash payments and having dinner with Vladimir Putin in Moscow, then later lying about it to the FBI who caught him red-handed with photos:

              “Guess Who Came to Dinner With Flynn and Putin
              NBC News reviewed video and photos from a 2015 Moscow gala that Mike Flynn was paid $45,000 to attend to see who else was in the room.

              The head table of a gala celebrating the tenth anniversary of Russia Today in December of 2015 included Russian President Vladimir Putin and American retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn.

              It was a (red) star-studded affair, the December 2015 dinner celebrating the 10th birthday of Russian TV network RT. At a luxe Moscow hotel, President Vladimir Putin and a host of Russian luminaries toasted a state-backed news channel that U.S. intelligence calls a Kremlin mouthpiece.

              And next to Putin at the head table, in the seat of honor, was an American. Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who would later become Donald Trump’s national security adviser, was already advising Trump’s presidential campaign when he was paid $45,000 to speak at the gala.”

              Nope no connection between Trump and Russia, nobody here but us chickens…

              • Yes, I can see that you quoted me. I can also see that the your response had nothing to do with that quote.

                “I’m pointing out Putin hopes to have Donald Trump…”

                Because he said that he hopes Harris wins? In 2020, he wanted Biden to win. You just make it up as you go, don’t you?

                Notice how I quoted you, then responded to said quote.

                Hahaha! You’re still desperately clinging to the Clinton/DNC/DOJ-seeded Russia collusion conspiracy theory! Wow! Your comrades have abandoned you. It’s time to come out of the jungle, Miner. The war is over. It’s been over for years.

        • Ukraine? Donald Trump and his co-conspirators have been chilling for Russia for years:

          “And next to Putin at the head table, in the seat of honor, was an American. Retired Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, who would later become Donald Trump’s national security adviser“

          • Yet, Putin never invaded while Trump was the President. He did it while Obama and Biden were in charge. Obama got caught on a hot mic colluding with Dmitry Medvedev.

            • “Yet, Putin never invaded while Trump was the President.”

              Of course not, he was achieving what he wanted by manipulating Donald Trump, why use the military?
              Private meetings with Trump in the Oval with no American interpreter present, but of course Russian journalists. Same for his meeting in Helsinki, no other Americans in the room while Trump worked his deal with Putin.

              “He did it while Obama and Biden were in charge“

              Right, because he knew he could not successfully manipulate them, so he was forced to employ the military in his expansion plans.

              Putin is playing out the reality that ‘war is a failure of diplomacy’.

              • “Of course not, he was achieving what he wanted by manipulating Donald Trump, why use the military?”

                Oh, I get it. When dummy Trump is in office, Putin gets what he wants which is relative peace. When the good guys, like Obama and Biden, are in office, Putin doesn’t get what he wants which means 100s of thousands of dead Ukrainians. Why don’t you ask the surviving members of those Ukrainian families which one they prefer. Brilliant take as usual, Miner.

              • “Putin gets what he wants which is relative peace“

                Dude, Putin does not want peace.

                I can’t believe I have to point this out to you, but Donald Trump has invaded Ukraine with 500,000 troops, bombing civilian targets throughout the country.

                Putin does not want peace, he wants to reassemble the USSR and relive the glory days of the Imperial Russian empire.

                “March 29, 2023
                Putin’s plan for a new Russian Empire includes both Ukraine and Belarus
                By Taras Kuzio

                Over the past year, Vladimir Putin has compared himself to empire-building eighteenth century Russian Czar Peter the Great, and has attempted to annex entire regions of Ukraine while declaring that he is “returning historically Russian lands.” A recently leaked document purportedly detailing Russian plans to absorb neighboring Belarus now provides further insight into the imperial ambitions that are also driving the invasion of Ukraine.

                Allegedly produced by Putin’s Presidential Administration with input from the Russian intelligence services and armed forces, the 17-page internal strategy paper was made public in early 2023 by an international consortium of journalists. It serves as a comprehensive guide to the unofficial annexation of Belarus via a combination of economic, military, political, and social measures, with the objective of full absorption into a so-called “Union State” with Russia by 2030.“

                The effectiveness of the Russian propaganda is just amazing, I would’ve never thought that a seemingly sophisticated American audience would fall for their Stalinist bullshit, but here we are.

              • Miner, you’re the one that said Putin got what he wanted when Trump was president. Therefore, Putin must have wanted peace because it was relatively peaceful under Trump’s watch.

                “I can’t believe I have to point this out to you, but Donald Trump has invaded Ukraine with 500,000 troops, bombing civilian targets throughout the country.”

                Hahaha. Donald Trump? I know you people blame everything on him, but it wasn’t Trump. Also, that happened under the Puppet’s watch. 100s of thousands of Ukrainians are dead because you people wanted a senile Puppet as the world leader.

      • I see our resident troll Minor69 already detailed his background. Including defaming Indian politicians by association. But not Kamaltoe🙄

        • Everybody might be looking in the wrong place for the conspiracy.

          The question is, how did the would be assassin know Trump would be there?

          From the article above:

          “Sean Hannity, who had been invited to golf with Trump on Sunday but didn’t end up participating… “

          Who gave Sean the warning to stay away?

          • Well lookie here, MIner49er trying to start a conspiracy theory.

            This person who attempted to assassinate Trump is yet another deranged left-winger democrat supporter.

            … “would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh, 58, of Hawaii echoed Harris, Biden’s anti-Trump rhetoric as he backed Dem candidates.

            Routh has a lengthy criminal record from North Carolina, frequently posted about politics, and exclusively donated to Democratic candidates and causes dating back to 2019.

            Routh has a history of supporting progressive causes online and has made 19 donations to Democratic candidates since 2019.”

            yet….

            “Routh was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, according to one of his posts in which he encouraged the Republican presidential candidates to continue their races.”

            ww-w.nypost.com/2024/09/15/us-news/would-be-trump-assassin-idd-as-ryan-routh-58-of-hawaii-sources/

            (seems though he had a particular soft spot for two republicans, Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, while supporting the mar-xist soci -alism of the democrat party.)

            • “Sean Hannity was warned in advance“

              Yep, when has Sean Hannity ever turned down a personal invitation from Donald Trump to visit him at Mar-a-Lago?

              Clearly, this was a Hannity-job from Fox.

              After all, DJ T and his crazy election lies cost Rupert Murdoch $787 million, people have been killed for far less.

  4. It took all of three days for the media to bury the first attempt and still big tech will refer to that as an “unconfirmed theory”.

    The calls for unity and toning down the “l1tErAlY hItLeR!!!1!!1” rhetoric barely lasted 24 hours.

    Let’s see how long it takes attempt #2 to disappear.

    • On a positive note I picked up my two cans (suppressors) yesterday! It turns out our favorite three-letter agency issued my tax stamps two weeks ago and I did not realize that I was clear to pick them up from my local FFL.

      Now I have to dip the internals in mineral spirits and spray a very light coating of lithium grease on the baffles to ensure super-easy cleaning.

      I strongly encourage everyone to purchase at least one suppressor so that we can make them in “common use” and eventually enable a lawsuit to remove them from the National Firearms Act rigamorole. There are rimfire suppressors for just over $200–and then the whole shebang will cost about $500 including the tax stamp and a modest fee to use the Silencer Shop kiosk at your local gun store.

      For reference the process was sort of easy (emphasis on “sort of”) and sort of fast (again, emphasis on “sort of”). I think it took me about an hour at my local gun store on the Silencer Shop kiosk and then I had to wait for ATF to process my request, which they did in about five weeks. This was my first time ever buying cans which may have taken the ATF longer to approve (since I was/am an unknown, relatively speaking). Some people are getting their approvals in one day with the current mean turn-around time being 26 days. And that is for trusts. If you purchase a can as an individual, the mean turn-around time has plummeted to three days. So, if you go out tomorrow (Monday) to buy a can as an individual, there is a 50% chance that ATF issues your tax stamp by Friday.

      • Great news, as the year-long delay was a much greater pain than paying $200 for what’s supposed to be a right.

        Interesting that the same ATF that’s been abusing its authority with legislation-by-redefinition in the last several years is making things easier for gun owners in one area.

    • “The calls for unity and toning down the “l1tErAlY hItLeR!!!1!!1” rhetoric barely lasted 24 hours.“

      Are you forgetting, it was Donald Trump‘s VP JP Mandel who said Donald Trump was “America’s Hitler”:

      “JD Vance once worried Trump was ‘America’s Hitler’. Now his own authoritarian leanings come into view
      Vice-presidential pick has said he would have blocked certification of 2020 results in key states won by Biden
      Martin Pengelly in Washington

  5. If Trump gets shot again the demoncrats may well get that civil war they scream about and the outcome for them won’t be very civil.

    • Darkman,

      Unfortunately, this is a GOLDEN opportunity for an enemy of the United States to have a true professional do the deed and make it look like some Democrat hooligan was to blame. That could very well inspire wide-scale internal hostilities which, of course, would weaken the U.S. and make us a prime target for much more significant action from a well-resourced state actor such as China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, etc.

      • Look at the bright side.
        Any serious terrorist attack will seek to maximize casualties. To do so, they will have to target densely populated urban areas. This means cities such as New York City and Chicago.

        What types of people live in New York or Chicago?
        DEMOCRATS!!

        Now popping popcorn for the show.

      • I have far more concern that a nutjob demoncrat will do it. A foreign entity knows that eventually the truth will find them and even terrorists know the consequences would mean something even Allah won’t be able to protect them from.

  6. Clearly this would-be assassin was/is an idiot:
    1) His first mistake was using an AK-47.
    2) His second mistake was using an AK-47 with a scope.
    3) His third mistake was positioning himself on the edge of the golf course.
    4) His fourth mistake was using his own car with his own license plate to escape.
    5) His fifth and final mistake was failing to ditch that car two miles away.

    • I find it oddly convenient, in a “I’m not a conspiracy nut, but …” kind of way that both the shooters attempting to assassinate Trump used the very rifles that are at the top of the Left’s list of things to be banned.

      Like I said, not a conspiracy type but, if I were writing an brief outline for a movie script:

      A shadowy cabal of government insiders including elected officials, law enforcement and even the governments own security apparatus, conspire to perform a silent coup on the current leader and install in his place a puppet. Same shadowy cabal employs useful idiots to assassinate popular opposition leader while intentionally hamstringing that leader’s security provisions. To further future policy goals, the shadowy cabal seeks to ensure that the assassination is carried out in a way, and with tools, that will give them greater leverage to enact their plans for future oppression of the populace if the assassination is successful and their puppet candidate is installed.

      Hmm.

        • Exactly my implication. Some stupid people on the left “ahem” think that if Trump were killed with a super deadly assault rifle then, all of a sudden, those who oppose bans on such rifles would suddenly hate them and want them banned.

          There is a weird backward logic, held by some “ahem”, that Trump supporters don’t care about policy but only care about Trump and, therefore, will do whatever they think is best for him. That is not how it works. Trump supporters are thus because Trump says things that agree with what they *already* thought and when, like with the bump-stock ban, they disagree with what he says, they are pretty vocal about it. Of course, you have to not be an idlot to understand that, so …

          • “Trump says things that agree with what they *already* thought“

            Exactly, that is the genius of his power, he doesn’t care whether it’s right or wrong, it just has to resonate with his base in order to be useful.

            A friend of mine once said, “If they’re telling you what you want to hear, it ain’t news“.

  7. Said differently, he was a Republican, like the prior attemted assassin

    He voted for Trump. He was probably unhinged as is usually the case

    The so called liberal position he took was supporting Ukraine against Russia

    The primary people supporting Russia against Ukraine are Russian govt officials and their unofficial mouthpieces. zerohedge is a Russian propaganda site.

    I am slightly surprised to see this site and Mr Boch call opposing Russia a liberal position. The departure from what Republicans used to be grows ever wider

    • Gotta keep up.

      Democrats are big business, nation building neocons and Republicans are non-interventionist populists.

      Maybe you missed the last 12 years or so?

      • True conservatives understand that the Cold War ended three decades ago.

        The Kremlin didn’t launch the hundreds of ICBMs that were armed with thousands of nuclear warheads that were stationed in Kazakhstan and the Ukraine before they lost control of them.

        The Warsaw Pact is no more.

        Russia is not the USSR.

        Conservatives were actually willing to give peace a chance.

        Putin is a Christian while Harris is a witch as well as a bitch.

  8. neocon, I am genuinely surprised. I did not think Russian propaganda had penetrated so far

    I do know that Pres Trump said he was populist, though mainly he cut taxes for the ultra wealthy, and did nothing else

    I am shocked that people see Russia attacking as ok. Truly amazing what a concerted disinformation, bribery and extortion campaign can do. Russian values coming to the USA

    • Nope. Nice try. Another radical leftist. Another Democrat ActBlue donor with pro-Biden (and Bernie) social media posts, JUST LIKE THE LAST ONE.

    • Even the IRS admits the middle and working classes benefited from the tax cuts.

      Russia going into Ukraine can be both wrong and none of our business. Did you forget twenty years of us playing world police accomplishing fuck all?

      • “Russia going into Ukraine can be both wrong and none of our business“

        Seems I’ve heard that before…

        “Hitler going into Poland can be both wrong and none of our business”

        • Obama’s Illegal 2014 CIA Ukrainian Coup is the direct cause of the war. Obama removed a legally-elected government & replaced it with US Stooges. The areas “Liberated” by Russia have been ethnic Russian for over a century, have been abused by Kviv Nazis for decades, and are NOT going back to Ukraine. Our meddling gives Russia the right to meddle on our Democrat Porous Southern Border.

          • “The areas “Liberated” by Russia have been ethnic Russian for over a century“

            That’s the only true statement in your post.

            And the reason they’ve been there is because Joseph Stalin killed millions of Ukrainians and moved ethnic Russians into those areas, taking them by murdering Ukrainian men, women and children.

            The fact that you seek to legitimize that murderous dictator’s actions tells us all we need to know about you

          • “it’s not our fucking business”

            Do you similarly believe we should not be giving Israel billions in weapons to fight their war in Palestine?

            • Yes. Yes I do.
              And we should close our legion of military bases all over the world, pull out of the UN and NATO. Our military should be built to defend us not play world police or manipulate the investments of industrialists and bankers.

              The problems of others are not ours.

              • “manipulate the investments of industrialists and bankers“

                Yes, I think that’s a serious problem. The headquarters for the US military involvement in Somalia was the Conoco compound.

                But sadly, realpolitik in the world requires that we occasionally take an active hand in other countries in order to prevent a worldwide conflagration.

                It’s a real tight rope I admit, but we can’t just stick our head in the sand and hope those brushfires don’t turn into a serious situation.

      • The US also has treaty obligation (Klinton/post Cold War era) to Ukraine. The US promised to protect Uks if they turned over the Soviet nucs/support infrastructure.

        • I really need to reread that one as it has been years but wasn’t Ukraine supposed to remain largely a buffer zone that neither end was supposed to get too involved with re alliance and military tech?

      • “Did you forget twenty years of us playing world police accomplishing fuck all?“

        Yep, thanks to the Republicans and their military industrial overseers, we blew $3 trillion in Iraq when the terrorists were actually supplied and financed by Saudi Arabia, Donald Trump‘s ‘Sword Dance of Loyalty’ partners.

          • You may be too young to remember, but anyone who spoke against President Cheney’s war on Iraq was vilified as a traitor to America.
            There were plenty of Democratic congressmen and women who voted against the war, I am particularly proud of West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd, who came to understand the dangers the conservative views of the Republican Party presented to the Republic:

            “Senator Robert C. Byrd garnered national attention for his outspoken opposition to the Iraq War in late-2002 and early-2003. He even published a book of his speeches and commentary on the war entitled Losing America in 2004“

            Senator Byrd was threatened with death many times, and suffered a political toll for speaking forcefully against the neocon tyranny of the Republican Party.

            • Of those that did how many voted against the Patriot act, voted against it’s reauthorization, opposed remaining in Iraq? Lol the few that did lost relevance decades ago neocons and democrats are the same.

              • Now the Dems go on TV and warn of extremist Republicans who threaten to take away this necessary crime fighting tool (Patriot Act) from our law enforcement personnel.

            • “Cheney’s war on Iraq”

              The 2004, 2016, 2020, and previous 2024 Democrat Presidential nominees ALL voted for that war. The only reason the 2008 and 2012 nominee didn’t vote for it is because he wasn’t in the senate yet. The new 2024 Democrat nominee constantly brags about the Cheney family endorsing her. Do you understand how this works now? I doubt it. You still think it’s R vs D.

              • “Democrat Presidential nominees ALL voted for that war“

                Nope.

                It was no declaration of war, rather it was a resolution that allowed President Cheney to make the decision if they developed evidence that connected Iraq with 9/11, that’s a very different thing from a congressional declaration of war.

                And now we know how Cheney, Bush, Powell, Wolfowitz and the rest of their merry band of pranksters misled America and the UN about the evidence.

                “Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002

                Passed the House on October 10, 2002 (296–133)
                Passed the Senate on October 11, 2002 (77–23)
                Signed into law by President George W. Bush on Oct. 16, 2002“

                Fun fact:

                The resolution was introduced by Republican Speaker of the House of Representatives Dennis Hastert, a kiddie fiddler who abused little boys in the wrestling program at Yorkville High School.

                Those Republicans… If they’re not lying warmongers they’re kiddie fiddlers… Sometimes they’re both.

                And some of them, I assume, are good people.

              • “The new 2024 Democrat nominee constantly brags about the Cheney family endorsing her“

                Yes, after 10 years of Donald Trump‘s chaos and corruption, even the most hard-boiled Republicans have changed their tune, they are just some of the many Republicans who are supporting Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.

              • Trump was only in for one four year term. It was a time of peace and prosperity. Everyone has forgotten how bad things were looking in 2016. Go back and watch the debates. The concerns brought up in the debates were gone within months of Trump being in office. Heck, go back and watch Obama era television shows. It’s amazing how many times they brought up the crummy economy. Obama had eight years. Now we’ve had four years of the Puppet show, and the world is on fire again.

              • “It was a time of peace and prosperity.”

                Peace? So you’re just ignoring Donald Trump’s continuation of Republican George Bush’s war in Afghanistan, during that period of ‘peace’ there were 45 American soldiers killed in combat on Donald Trump’s watch.

                Did you forget about Donald Trump’s assassination airstrikes in Syria and Iraq? Or how about the four dead SF in Africa in 2017, that was all part of trumps four years of peace?

                But that’s overseas, America herself was just full of ‘peace’:

                “Trump’s own Justice Department alleged that a mass murder in New York City in 2017, which killed eight people and injured others, was a terrorist attack carried out in support of ISIS; Trump repeatedly lamented this attack during his presidency. Trump’s Justice Department also alleged that a 2019 attack by an extremist member of Saudi Arabia’s military, which killed three US servicemembers and injured others at a military base in Florida, “was motivated by jihadist ideology” and was carried out by a longtime “associate” of al Qaeda.

                In addition, there were a variety of other terrorist attacks during Trump’s presidency. Notably, Trump’s Justice Department said it was a “domestic terrorist attack” when one of Trump’s supporters mailed improvised explosive devices to prominent Democratic officials, CNN and other people in 2018.

                In 2019, a White supremacist pleaded guilty to multiple charges in New York, including first-degree murder in furtherance of an act of terrorism, for killing a Black man in March 2017 to try to start a race war. And Trump’s Justice Department described a 2019 shooting massacre at a Walmart in Texas as an act of domestic terrorism; the gunman who killed 23 people was targeting Latinos.“

                (remember how Donald Trump promised that “the American carnage stops right here, right now!” That was just more bullshit, like infrastructure week and the healthcare plan better than Obamacare… After 10 years he just said the other night he “has a concept of a plan”.)

                The actual facts of history can be rather surprising to some.

              • “It was no declaration of war, rather it was a resolution that allowed President Cheney to make the decision if they developed evidence that connected Iraq with 9/11, that’s a very different thing from a congressional declaration of war.”

                And if those future Democrat presidential nominees did NOT vote for it, then there would be no war until they DID vote for it. See how that works? We don’t live under a dictatorship. We have three branches of government to provide checks and balances. The Democrat Party leaders were down with the Bush-Cheney program. We can see the votes. Now the newest Democrat nominee is continuing that tradition by making sure the MIC knows that she is down with the program. She’s very proud of the Cheney family endorsement.

                Find some more 50-year-old and disabled Ukrainian men to conscript. We have more billions on the way for weapons. Gotta keep the gravy train going.

              • “Peace? So you’re just ignoring Donald Trump’s continuation of Republican George Bush’s war in Afghanistan”

                I like how you’re ignoring that Obama had eight years to do something with it. All he did was make sure that ISIS gained power. Go back and watch the 2016 debates. ISIS was a big deal back then. Then it wasn’t a problem within in months. Trump had a deal worked out in Afghanistan. The deal was broken because the Taliban didn’t hold up their end. Yet the Biden Admin didn’t hold them accountable for that. Instead, we had the most careless and embarrassing withdrawal in US history. They even assassinated an innocent family on the way out because they wanted to look tough.

              • “Peace? So you’re just ignoring Donald Trump’s continuation of Republican George Bush’s war in Afghanistan”

                Yes, Peace. Compare and contrast with any other president’s record in our lifetime.

                (Short version – I made another comment, but I don’t see it.)

              • Nope, it was not an authorization for war, much less a declaration of war.

                It only became a war because Congress and the American people were misled by the Republican administration who lied about the perpetrators of 9/11 to protect their pals, the Saudi Arabian Royal family.

                “Obama had eight years to do something with it“

                Really? So he had eight years of democratic control of both houses of the legislature… Or did he have Republican warmongers in both houses who accused of treason any who dared to speak against the war.

                “Yes, Peace“

                So 34 dead Americans from terrorist actions in the United States is peace?

                Donald Trump losing 45 American soldiers on his watch in Afghanistan (compared to only 13 under Joe Biden) is peace?

                Your continued claim that Donald Trump‘s term was ‘peaceful’ is a prime example of self-delusion. Sad.

              • Dude, face it, the Republican administration lied to the American people about Iraq, even Donald Trump said the Iraqi war was “the greatest mistake America had ever made”.

                The Republicans snookered all of y’all:

                A Look Back at How Fear and False Beliefs Bolstered U.S. Public Support for War in Iraq
                BY CARROLL DOHERTY
                AND JOCELYN KILEY
                MARCH 14, 2023

                “Bush and senior members of his administration then spent more than a year outlining the dangers that they claimed Iraq posed to the United States and its allies. Two of the administration’s arguments proved especially powerful, given the public’s mood: first, that Hussein’s regime possessed “weapons of mass destruction” (WMD), a shorthand for nuclear, biological or chemical weapons; and second, that it supported terrorism and had close ties to terrorist groups, including al-Qaida, which had attacked the U.S. on 9/11.
                As numerous investigations by independent and governmental commissions subsequently found, there was no factual basis for either of these assertions. Two decades later, debate continues about whether the administration was the victim of flawed intelligence, or whether Bush and his senior advisers deliberately misled the public about its WMD capabilities, in particular.
                In the months leading up to the war, sizable majorities of Americans believed that Iraq either possessed WMD or was close to obtaining them, that Iraq was closely tied to terrorism – and even that Hussein himself had a role in the 9/11 attacks. Two decades after the war began, a review of Pew Research Center surveys on the war in Iraq shows that support for U.S. military action was built, at least in part, on a foundation of falsehoods.“

              • Yes, peace. It’s a relative term. Compare and contrast to every other president in our lifetime. The world is on fire under the senile Puppet. 100s of thousands have died because he was our president. Everyone knows it. They aren’t even pretending that he’s in charge anymore. He’s a joke which is why they threw him off the cliff against his wishes.

        • Hence the Republican move away from neoconservatism. Who knows why the Dems have embraced it so fully but the point remains neocons are the old guard.

          It must be obvious if even a troll like you can see it. You won’t admit it or connect the dots but you obviously see it.

            Donald Trump’s military intervention in Africa (where are we lost 4 American SF on his watch), his military assassinations in Syria and Iraq and his continuation of the Republicans’ war in Afghanistan demonstrate his love of international intervention.

            One of the main tenants of the neocons is free market capitalism.

            Do you really believe Kamala Harris is it free market capitalist?

            Honestly, this forum is just so entertaining.

  9. Looks like the dude never got a chance to shoot thank god..All four shots were from the anti-sniper team. They must have fired the SS supervisor that told them to wait until the assassin fires before taking their shots. Dude abandoned his weapon and gear to flee post haste. He got all the way to the next county before they caught up with him on I-95

    I agree, looks likely an SKS. I have been told that the SKS is inherently more accurate than the Kalashnikov. In any case, the probable range, mag capacity and scope make this a serious attempt to at the very least severely injure Trump from the stand point of weaponry.

    It will be (if we get the info) interesting to know what weapon/range/caliber the intervening SS Agent was working with. 0 for 4 ain’t necessarily bad, and the accounts I have read are consistent with a semi auto, not a bolt rifle.

    No apparent thought of actually getting away with it on the part of the wannabe.

    Interesting times, inquiring minds…

    Go Trump.

  11. The person who attempted to assassinate Trump this time is yet nanother deranged left-winger democrat supporter.

    … “would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh, 58, of Hawaii echoed Harris, Biden’s anti-Trump rhetoric as he backed Dem candidates.

    Routh has a lengthy criminal record from North Carolina, frequently posted about politics, and exclusively donated to Democratic candidates and causes dating back to 2019.

    Routh has a history of supporting progressive causes online and has made 19 donations to Democratic candidates since 2019.”

    yet….

    “Routh was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, according to one of his posts in which he encouraged the Republican presidential candidates to continue their races.”

    ww-w.nypost.com/2024/09/15/us-news/would-be-trump-assassin-idd-as-ryan-routh-58-of-hawaii-sources/

    (seems he had a particular soft spot for two republicans, Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, while supporting the mar-xist soci -alism of the democrat party.)

    • It also seems he, like most left-winger Kamala supporters, operated in a state of false perception emotion and was emotionally driven by the lies and rhetoric of Kamala Harris. …which fed a mental illness condition state where he felt he needed to murder.

    • Routh was a supporter of Vivek Ramaswamy and Nikki Haley, according to one of his posts

      That is being misinterpreted, perhaps intentionally, just like them saying the last guy was a registered Republican. When you decide not to ignore the rest of the shooter’s social media and political donation history, then it is clear that his support of Nikki was only to make sure that Trump wasn’t the nominee. Watch the media downplay his obvious democrat support.

    • In 2020, Routh made a social media post backing Trump’s reelection but seems to have voted democrat in that election and had been donating time and support to democrat progressive causes and was participating in ‘Pride’ events.

      There seems to be a defining point in 2022. He seemed angry that Trump didn’t issue an executive order for the Justice Department to prosecute police misconduct, and posted about it saying Trump would “win reelection if he issued an executive order for the Justice Department to prosecute police misconduct.” then after that all his support started going to democrats.

      In 2020 he started expressing support for the democratic presidential campaign of the then democrat Tulsi Gabbard. But when she left the democrat party and started supporting Trump he dropped his support for her.

      Voter records show he registered as an unaffiliated voter in North Carolina in 2012, most recently voting in person during the state’s Democratic Party primary in March 2024.

      In 2019 he started making more monetary donations to Democratic candidates. In more recent years he devolved more towards the dark side of the force and started expressing more support for Biden and Harris and started repeating their rhetoric more frequently.

      In 2023 Routh began ‘representing’ himself as an off-the-books ‘recruiting’ liaison for the Ukrainian government trying to recruit people to go fight with the Ukrainian military and put up a web site where he sought to raise money and recruit volunteers to go to Kyiv to join the fight against the Russian invasion.

      • Clarification for: “In 2019 he started making more monetary donations to Democratic candidates.”

        It seems he donated (about $149.00 total over multiple smaller donations) at Act Blue like the previous would be assassin also donated at Act Blue. Act Blue is a democrat fund raising organization front for democrat candidates and progressive causes.

    • According to court records from the Guilford District Court in North Carolina, Routh was arrested by the Greensboro Police Department on December 16, 2002. Routh was pulled over by police during a traffic stop. Routh then drove to the business United Roofing, where he proceeded to barricade himself for three hours. Routh was charged with possession of a fully automatic machine gun, referred to in court filings as a weapon of mass destruction. He was also charged with carrying a concealed weapon, as well as driving without a valid license and resisting, delaying, and obstructing law enforcement.

      In a statement to Wired, the charging officer (Tracy Fulk) in Ryan Routh’s 2002 arrest says Routh was well known in the area and well known for getting into armed confrontations with police. She said “I wasn’t the only one who had a standoff with him, … We always knew he had weapons.” and that they would get alerts about him having weapons and explosives. Guilford County court records show Routh was charged dozens of times going back to the early 1980s

      So there’s a lot of indication that Routh had been somewhat unhinged for a while and was a criminally minded person. Then eventually devolved to the mar -xist social – ist left-wing.

  12. Any bets on the mental stability of the alleged assassin? Good chance he will end up either not living to see a trial, or being declared incompetent to stand trial and going to some psych ward for a few years. His backers and groomer will not want a trial with evidence being presented for public record.
    Of course 8 years of Trump being called the evil orange man and a threat to the very existence of the country may have had something to do with the recent attempts on his life.
    I’m old enough to remember when Trump was a NYC Democrat who supported Jesse Jackson’s presidential campaign. And was the darling of the democrats and media. Of course that ended when he decided to run as a republican and stopped writing checks for democrat politicians and stopped financing democrat causes.
    Point blank, when Trump said he wanted to drain the swamp and end the forever wars he earned the wrath of the swamp monsters and war pigs.

  13. Democrats claim he is a republican, republicans claim he is a democrat. He is just nuts and should have been a prohibited person. Go over to Ammoland for that part.

    • He was neither democrat or republican registration wise. Voter records show he registered as an unaffiliated voter in North Carolina in 2012. But he did support democrat progressive causes and politicians, and donated time and money to supporting them and he voted democrat in the 2020 election despite publicly on social media supporting Trump and he did stop supporting democrat politicians who left the democrat party and put their support behind republican candidates for office. He did vote for Trump in 2016.

      So voter registration wise he was neither democrat or republican – but in political
      activity’ and support he was democrat

        • Beto O’Rourke is a member of the Democratic Party. He did switch parties in the early 1990s and made several failed attempts to win election to public office as a Republican, but switched back to the democrat party after failing in that.

          So its kinda easy to decide if he is a democrat or not.

    • While he may appear to have been 57 varieties of crazy he was able to hold down very productive employment and amass some level of wealth. Not really any mental health screening likely to catch that that wouldn’t also render the constitution meaningless. Dangerous liberty and all, now about this secret service performance of duties that seem substandard even to a 3rd string national guard military police vet.

    • He was a prohibited person – convicted felon.

      Oh, what, wait, does that mean merely saying, “You can’t have a gun!” doesn’t actually prevent a person from having a gun? (7500 miles, give or take, from his home state, no less)

      • “(7500 miles, give or take, from his home state, no less)“

        His home state was North Carolina, where he had been arrested on numerous firearms violations.

        I understand North Carolina is considerably closer to Florida than 7500 miles.

        • His state of origin may be NC but several news reports state that his current home is in Hawaii. Hawaii is, in fact, roughly 7500 miles from Florida.

          As usual, arrogantly ignorant.

  14. So the CIA is trying to kill President Trump.???
    I’m glad the governor of Florida has ordered a state level investigation. At least I don’t have to rely on the federal government to investigate this.

  15. Ryan Routh was around the golf course for around 12 hours. According to the criminal complaint filed in the case, Routh’s cellphone dated tracked him near the tree line of Trump International Golf Club as early as 1:59 a.m. on Sunday.

    It wasn’t an AK-47.

    According to the criminal complaint filed … In the area of the tree line where the suspect was seen, agents found a digital camera, two bags, including a backpack, and a loaded SKS-style 7.62×39 caliber rifle with a scope. The serial number on the rifle “was obliterated and unreadable to the naked eye”.

    He has been charged. In court when a judge asked Routh a series of questions to determine if he qualified for a public defender, Roth said he earns a monthly income of around $3,000, owns two trucks in Hawaii that are worth approximately $1,000 each, owns no real estate and has zero savings. He has a 25 year old son.

  16. It is very revealing how the libertarians liberals and the left.
    Who always point to the CIA and the FBI trying to assassinate people, they are now quiet as a church mouse. When it comes to these assassination attempts against President Trump.

    Of course, these are the same people who supported Anti abortion protests. They are supported people burning crosses.

    But they never supported anti abortion protesters. And recently they supported BLM protests.They supported gay pride parades. But they were against people attending church services at easter. They support the government stopping church services.

    If not civil war then I expect mostly peaceful protests.

  17. Once again if it wasn’t for me the country would be total chaos! That’s what the demorats want!
    Let us have the arms we choose, the country will be a better place!

  18. The comment section is on the bottom, but I gave up reading most of the posts a while back. Did’ja ever notice whenever minor 49er jumps in, this whole forum goes to hell? He is an effective troll and many here fall for his tactics.

    • I look at that poster as a mix of a lefty Babalyon Bee and paid farm poster. Obviously not as funny but sometimes things slip through that probably were not intended.

    • Yes, posting the actual facts of history on this forum certainly riles up the drones.

      However, occasionally a dupe of the conspiracy will see the light when presented with the facts and gain the clarity of thought that will lead them to better citizenship decisions.

      But you know what ‘they’ say, you can lead a conservative to knowledge but you can’t make him think.

    • @PMinFl
      I just refuse to read the filthy piece of shit’s posts. My time is of way more importance to me than to waste it as such. I’d rather watch The Bachelor. That’s how I deal with it.

  19. Why can’t the people responsible for Trump be held accountable!!! Because the left is in charge! Meanwhile biden lollgags at the beach! And Komrad komalla who never got a vote to be the demogods nominee, wants to ban, red flag, force buy backs on weapons. Oh that’s right the latest “suspect” was as left as they get. News flash, why doesn’t she just ban criminals!!!

  20. What is it that terrifies the libertarians liberals and the left so much about Donald Trump???

    He a republican candidate, who came out in support of ho-m.os-ex-.ual marriage. Before any Republican or Democrat. Obama? No on gay marriage. Bill and Hillary? No they were against gay marriage.

    I’m glad Trump didn’t use soldiers to stop the riots. It’s was always the responsibility of the individual state governors. Those governors let mobs burn their cities to the ground.

    Stop looking to the federal government to solve your problems, and hold your state officials accountable.

    And the Oregon governor refused to protect the federal court house. So Trump did use federal agents to protect federal property. While the Oregon government leadership let the mobs destroy private property.

    And as far as the lock downs to go, that was all done at a state level. And you were better off if you lived in a republican lead state government.
