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!

i find it strange that there would be shots fired and the perpetrator would survive to tell a tale.
on the other hand, the secret service agents must despise that dipshit more than anyone, since he willingly put their lives at risk multiple times, so i have hard time imagining they would be in on any sort of pre-planned PR show...
The guy was behind a fence, with just the barrel of the gun poking through, so it's not too surprising their shots missed.
well, that's probably not best way to do it...
Yeah, probably not. But would-be assassins aren't necessarily the sharpest people around.

Anyone with a functional brain knows Trump is a threat to democracy. So I have a feeling this won't be the last attempt
Stop fucking edging me god fucking damn.
Nobody should want these guys to finish the job, especially before the election. That's a recipe to end up with President Vance, and the man is an absolute moron. He makes Dan Quayle look like the spelling bee champion.
Donald Trump doesn't deserve to die from an assassin's bullet. He deserves to die of natural causes, in prison.

“let an entire country have guns. what could go wrong?”
where was the “good guy with gun” to save the day? excluding professional trained security members
Well, in some sense, that's precisely what the Secret Service was in this case -- the proverbial good guy with a gun.
I think the fringe 2A people basically want a world that is some combination of the wild west from movies and a militarized society filled with bodyguards and escorts.
Note: they all always assume they're a protagonist or antagonist in this hypothesized world, i.e., they're always the person with bodyguards, a body guard, or an outlaw with a gun moving through the tumbleweeds. They're never all the random people killed along the way.
