THOUGHTS ON A SHOOTING

 If the Secret Service is investigating the "reason" behind the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, I suggest they get a dictionary to look up the definitions of "attempted" and "assassination."

People on the left who claim the incident was staged aren't any different from the Trump fan at the rally who made a point of giving the finger to a news camera immediately following the shooting. Dim minds think alike.

People on the right who claim the incident was some kind of move by the "deep state" would claim a shooting of Biden was phony and featured "crisis actors". 

To the news anchor who described the attempted assassination as "historic": Is something really historic if it happens over and over again? 

When changing the channel to ABC last night for coverage of the shooting, the bottom part of the screen briefly gave the name of the program being preempted: Press Your Luck. There's a connection there somewhere.

When Joe Biden says, "There's no place in America for this kind of violence," he appears not have paid attention either in history class or the evening news for the past seven or so decades.

When Tucker Carlson speaks at the GOP convention, look for him to blame Democrats while not saying a word about how easy it was for a 20 year-old nut to get an AR rifle.

The A.V. Club follows every political news event in great detail, but as of this writing has nothing up regarding the Trump shooting 15 hours later. Any theories?

Thomas Matthews Crooks continues the great American tradition of political assassins with three names.

I trust that Republicans who laughed at the attempted murder of Nancy Pelosi's husband will excuse anyone who does the same regarding Trump.

To Republican Rep, Mike Collins who accuses Biden of ordering the shooting -- wait, the Supreme Court said such a thing was OK, remember?

The only reason the Trump family might be upset at the etailers selling pro-Trump t-shirts with photos of the shooting is that they didn't think of it first.
