As soon as we learned that Crooks was a registered Republican it was clear that the assassination attempt was going to be a two-day story.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump does not erase the crimes that Trump himself has committed against American democracy, or the crimes he would commit if given the chance, and no one is obligated to pretend otherwise www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

Nothing About the Attempted Assassination Redeems Trumpwww.theatlantic.com This crime does not erase what the former president has done, or what he has promised to do.

“In the name of unity, stop taking issue with Jan. 6” is “when you say it’s wrong that I hit you, you’re tearing this family apart” on a national scale.

Has anyone come across fellow Australians crying out for Peter Dutton and nuclear reactors? Matty Canavan is talking tough from Yeppoon & it seems there's a plan to rid Canberra of people of science. Trumpism is definitely at the forefront of Qld LNP thinking. #auspol

Remember in 2016 when there was a lot of pressure for Trump to divest from his private business because it's unethical for a president to make money off the presidency especially while in office, but then he just refused to do it and now people don't even really care anymore?

Worth emphasizing that the very theme of night 2 of the RNC is a lie. Crime is down since Biden took office and we are no longer quarantining at home amid mass death. America is far safer now than it was in January 2021.

It’s the first election after a coup attempt and the coup plotters are using democratic means to try to retake power. We probably don’t talk about that with enough clarity.

Does drive me nuts that Team Biden seem to be under a horrendous misimpression that their job is to win over their own party and that's victory. It's not. Everything is who gets to 270. They need daily standups chanting it. "270" "270" "270". It's all that matters here. Everything else is sideshow.

In other words, starting in 2016, the Trump campaign directed a stream of radicalizing propaganda at the Crooks family, when Thomas Crooks was about 12 years old. Eight years later, Thomas Crooks attempted to assassinate Trump, killing one man in the process. www.channel4.com/news/reveale...

4/4 Tariffs - Vance supports Trump's 10% across-the-board tariff. Climate - Vance contends climate change is not the product of human activity, opposes solar & wind energy and backs the oil, gas & coal industries. Middle East - Vance is completely in line with PM Netanyahu. Which side are you on?

2/ Abortion - Vance ran for Senate on a platform of "Ban Abortion". He is against any abortion being legal, with the possible exception of the imminent death of the pregnant woman. Ukraine - Vance is completely pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine. He attempted to stop the $60B aid package to Ukraine.

1/ If you need more incentive to support & vote for Biden/Harris, you should know that if Trump becomes the 47th President, it is highly likely that he does not live out his entire term and Sen. JD Vance becomes the 48th President. Here is a link to a synopsis of Vance's policy stands:

J.D. Vance on the Issues, From Abortion to the Middle Eastwww.nytimes.com Like Donald J. Trump, the Ohio senator has been skeptical of American intervention overseas and argues that raising tariffs will create new jobs.

Gift link to Neal Katyal's NYT Op-Ed taking down Judge Cannon's *ridiculous* opinion dismissing the charges against Former President Trump on the *specious* basis that the Special Counsel was not authorized by Congress. Neal (a friend) was the author of the Special Counsel regulations.

From the JD Vance (Senate) campaign website. JD Vance would ban every single woman (or girl) from receiving an abortion, no matter the circumstances by which she was impregnated or the danger to her health. Maybe (just maybe) if she risks imminent death.
