This attempt is a consequence of Trump’s increasing rhetoric of violence

It's just exhausting. Ever since he came down the escalator everything has been exhausting.

You mean like baked?   Because nothing is going to happen to him.  

I'm sure Garland has his best men and women working on it.  I heard they're even working in shifts.  Might get around to summoning a grand jury around 2027 or so.

I was at a restaurant for the Chiefs game earlier today. The televisions all cut to the "breaking news" then immediately went back to sports.

It seemed everyone in the place had this reaction.

I had almost the exact same experience.

Well he needs it for sympathy. Of course the only people shooting at him are previous supporters. I’m sure he’s pissed he couldn’t stage a cool photo to sell again.

No photos on the golf course. Us mere mortals would not be able to comprehend how he shot a -10* on the front nine. 

*It would have been -19. but Dear Leader shot three balls into the woods trying to chase Antifa and Haitian immigrants. Also, the sand trap on 4 is clearly woke.

I`m in Deadwood SD of all places (heading to Badlands NP tomorrow) which would be reliably Trumpy I presume. I was watching the afternoon games in a sportsbook with probably 75 people, and nobody really gave a shit. It wasn't even a topic of conversation. There's one dude in the lobby pacing around ranting about liberal democrats with the fox news feed playing, and everyone is just ignoring him.

that someone should try to shoot the sitting President or Vice President. that's the point he's trying to make. 

As I wrote some time ago, at some point Elon is going to blame his Asperger’s.

NYTimes apparently interviewed the guy about people trying to get help into Ukraine.

New York Times Reporter Revisits Earlier Interview With Suspect at Trump Golf Course
Ryan Wesley Routh wanted to fly Afghan veterans to fight against Russia in Ukraine, an endeavor he seemed ill prepared to orchestrate.

Last year I was working on an article about foreign fighters and volunteers in Ukraine. The piece focused on people who were not qualified to be allowed anywhere near the battlefield in a U.S.-led war and yet were fighting on the front against Russia, with access to weapons and military equipment.

Among the people I interviewed: Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old man whom the F.B.I. is investigating in what it is calling an assassination attempt against former President Donald J. Trump on Sunday.

I was put in touch with Mr. Routh through an old colleague and friend from Kabul, Najim Rahim. Through the strange nexus of combatants as one war ended and another began, he had learned of Mr. Routh from a source of his in Iran, a former Afghan special operations soldier who was trying to get out of Iran and fight in Ukraine.

Mr. Routh, who had spent some time in Ukraine trying to raise support for the war, was seeking recruits from among Afghan soldiers who fled the Taliban. And so the former Afghan soldier reckoned Mr. Routh could get him to the Ukrainian front. (Anything, even war, was better than the conditions in Iran for Afghans after the Taliban retook Kabul in August of 2021.)

There were a few complications. Mr. Routh, a former construction worker from Greensboro, N. C., said he never fought in Ukraine himself — he was too old and had no military experience.

But like many foreign volunteers who showed up at Ukraine’s border in the war’s early months, he was eager to cast aside his former life for something far more exciting and make a name for himself.

“In my opinion everyone should be there supporting the Ukrainians,” he told me, his voice urgent, exasperated and a little suspicious over the phone.

When I talked to Mr. Routh in March of last year, he had compiled a list of hundreds of Afghans spread between Iran, Pakistan and Afghanistan whom he wanted to fly, somehow, to Ukraine. Mr. Routh told one Afghan he was helping: “I am just a civilian.”

My conversation with Mr. Routh was brief. He was in Washington, D.C., he said, and had planned for a two-hour meeting with some congressmen about Ukraine. (It’s unclear if that meeting ever happened.)

By the time I got off the phone with Mr. Routh some minutes later, it was clear he was in way over his head.

He talked of buying off corrupt officials, forging passports and doing whatever it took to get his Afghan cadre to Ukraine, but he had no real way to accomplish his goals. At one point he mentioned arranging a U.S. military transport flight from Iraq to Poland with Afghan refugees willing to fight.

I shook my head. It sounded ridiculous, but the tone in Mr. Routh’s voice said otherwise. He was going to back Ukraine’s war effort, no matter what.

Like many of the volunteers I interviewed, he fell off the map again. Until Sunday.

GOP says Secret Service sucks at protecting Trump. If I was this dudes lawyer I would argue he was just there and armed to guard the former President. All the militias would love that.

Why, it is his by-God right to protect Trump from Antifa!!!

Didn't they spot this dude multiple holes ahead and stop him before he ever had the chance to do anything?  I know we live in a world of black and white with no room for any gray, but seems pretty straightforward that they did exactly what they should have done here.

Yes, they saw, ID'd, and tracked. But 500 yards is close enough. What if this was a real shooter? Someone with skills who did not need an AK Supreme to take a shot?

Perimeter security is a real thing. Looks like in both instances it failed.

The man who investigators say concealed himself on the edge of a golf course with a semiautomatic rifle in an apparent bid to assassinate former President Donald J. Trump made a first court appearance in Florida on Monday. He faces charges of possessing a firearm as a convicted felon, and of possessing a firearm with an obliterated serial number, according to the Justice Department.

The defendant, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, wore a blue jumpsuit and smiled before the appearance while speaking to his lawyer and reviewing documents, The Associated Press reported. The court appearance came less than 24 hours after what the authorities said appeared to be the second attempted assassination of the former president in just over two months.
