"rifle caliber distance"
“LIVE: Trump says he was shot at rally in possible assassination attempt” is your headline?!?! What is wrong with you people - more “MOSTLY PEACEFUL PROTESTS”?? A Former President of the USA was hit with a bullet and another person died and you want to pretend this is not an assignation attempt? He wasn’t just “shot” they tried to kill him - he doesn’t have to say anything, any one who watched the LIVE footage can tell you what happened! No wonder people stopped watching - I’m only here bc I saw the crazy headline!!!

It seems obvious, but they do have to get official confirmation of some other basic facts. Trump campaign reported that in their own words.
Hope those injured are not too badly hurt and get well soon. So sad for the deceased person and my sincere condolences to their family
The media and liberal party needs to stop with the hateful rhetoric against Trump and let the people vote and decide who will lead them!!!
When things and everyone are getting too contented, many boxes will be unchecked. It's a wake-up call.

Furthermore, what do you think January 6th did. Your cult, and that is what it is, is the most hate filled political movement I have witnessed in my 60 plus years of life. This Independent voted straight Republican till Trump. I don't even recognize that party anymore.

To those who are willing to listen, This is what it was always leading to, What is considered the far right, was pierced some time ago; and when they realized they were being drained by their own actions, they wished to drain those who stood against them, so they can hold on to the darkness, they had fallen in love with. Every protest, and war, was encouraged by them; because even if famines and atrocities led to these things, the actions are still not the way to solve them, It is the most dangerous, to practice these things on a day of rest. For many protests, and violent cries, escalated greatly at these times, And because what is considered the left blue, and the neutral yellow, still supported these things, they were falling in love with the darkness too, and what has occurred, is no different, than what occurred on January 6th. Where then is the hope, To the ones willing to listen, hear and understand, No longer see eachothr, in yellow, blue, or red, for all people are equal, Everyone endures pain, everyone knows it’s easier to give into darkness, everyone wants to make sure the source of their pain, never hurts them again. Because man separated themselves, either in politics, nation, or simple hate found in sin; even if you were not the start of a conflict, your foundation was doomed to fail from the start. Don’t go out and protest anymore, What makes now, more dangerous, than any time before, is that many are still prepared to use darkness, despite witnessing its affects from the past. So while the death count now, is not as big as before, it is escalating to something far darker, than what has ever been known since the beginning, and something which will never be seen again. This message, isn’t a great movement; it is not for grand masses to gather, in preparation for a battle; it is a plea for all those who have not given up hope, that caring, even for your enemies, as yourself; is always enough. Stay in awhile longer, it is hardest, to handle the storms in the home; but you will still find, what you need there, with compassion and mercy; and that may go out to the rest of the world, as a light; which is still being pleaded for, by the harassed and helpless. Don’t try to flee to the wilderness, with vacations and moving; chaos is everywhere, but the remedy, is always present, for you, and those who will go with you, even after death. Let go of what you’ve fallen in love with, and you may place your love on the words, which shall not past away; and you may have what goes past what can be asked or imagined, Let the reader understand, the son of man, known as Jesus is coming, Not to cause the next riot, but for anyone looking for rest, from the one who is lowly and gentle at heart, by learning to be like him; while leaving everyone else alone. Psalm 23 Psalm 3 Psalm 8 Psalm 18 Psalm 22 Psalm 90 Psalm 142 Malachi 3 Genesis 4:13 Isaiah 6:1-6 Daniel 9 1 Samuel 8:1-6 Exodus 3:11 1 Kings 19:1-14 Psalm 121:1 The way, the truth and the light- The bread of life, The home of love, The joy of a child, The language of the eternal nation, The written words, which shall not pass away The building blocks which one may use to unlock the doors, where anything is possible The blood of the lamb Freedom John 1:1-5 Genesis 1-3 Genesis 9:8-16 Exodus20:1-17 Matthew 1 Matthew 4 Matthew 5-7 Matthew 9:10-17 Mark12:41-44 Luke 7:40-50 Matthew 13 Matthew 19 Matthew 22:23-46 Matthew 23-25 Matthew 28:16-20 Luke 10:17-42 Luke 23:6-12 John 7:53-8:11 John 8:48-59 John 13-17 John 3 Revelations 11 Revelations 16 Don’t let the apathy of the world cause you to loose hope. This is the spirit of the frog: where no moment of darkness is worth being thirsty for the love of light, and when no moment of light is worth letting go of the darkness one loves to hold onto. But the spirit of the son of man’s words, will heal anyone who is willing to accept them. Then you are ready, to turn the page; onward to the last chapter. Toward a beginning without end. Revelations 22 Those who are trained in the light, the entire book is at hand, count where you are, so you may help yourselves, and those who will go with you. Revelations 1-22 Please forgive them, they do not know, what they are doing
