Trump's Triumph At The RNC Suggests Something Bigger Than Politics Is Unfolding In America
2024-07-20
[THEFEDERALIST] It’s difficult to describe historical moments as they’re unfolding, but let me hazard a few initial observations about former President Donald Trump
...They hit him with slander, they impeached him twice. Nancy Pelosi tore up his State of the Union address on national TV. They stole an election and put his adherents in jail. They vilified him. They couldn't crucify him, so they shot him. Still, they can't keep him down....
’s speech at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night.

Watching a presidential candidate (and former president) describe his near-liquidation less than a week after a bullet came within millimeters of ending his life is quite simply the most captivating, awe-inspiring thing that has ever happened at a political convention in this country.

#9  They would be absolutely insane to try this again. If they do, and succeed, well, what goes around comes around.

#7  ^ My fear as well. Yes, truck or airplane bomb. Thry will stop at nothing to retain their power.

#6  Yeah, they'll try again for sure. Once you've crossed the Rubicon like this, there's no going back.
Next time will be bigger, and messy. A truck bomb, like the one that destroyed the FBI headquarters that commanded the Waco massacre, two years to the day afterwards.

#5  Got a chance to watch the Trump Speech part of the convention.

They were right to put Brandon in the basement and have the media write get well soon letters.

#4  It also can’t be the first attempt. Based on the condition of the Secret Service it’s a wonder that anyone survives.

#3  Unfortunately Grom is right on the money at #1.

#2  If they are successful, you can swap in Jr without changing the ballots or platform. I say that to trigger liberals.

#1  Don't get complacent suckers - it wasn't the last assassination attempt.
