No, Marge. Trump and people like you who spend your waking hours working people into a frenzy with your message of violence and hate are to blame.

The other people shot donā€™t seem at all close to Trump.

The usual suspects are already trying to spin this as a triumphant moment of badassery rather than a great time to pause for reflection. Itā€™s so fucking gross.

If - as reported- the shooter was in a nearby tower. Itā€™s a real failure to not have secured it. This is on a farm, right? Not too many towers nearby with a good line of sight.

statement from the president:

I have been briefed on the shooting at Donald Trumpā€™s rally in Pennsylvania.

Iā€™m grateful to hear that heā€™s safe and doing well. Iā€™m praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information.

Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. Thereā€™s no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it.

Itā€™s probably a good idea for everyone to give some thought to their own safety after this. Itā€™s likely to agitate the far right. Well, agitate even more.

If anyone is responsible for what happened today itā€™s the people who work tirelessly to ensure that no one in America can be prevented from getting their hands on a firearm.

Yeah as a PR move ā€œattempted assassinationā€ is a huge gift to the Trump campaign. Heā€™s going to milk it harder than Teddy Roosevelt did with the bloody shirt speech.

Got I hate whatever fucking nimrod is responsible for this.

Unfortunately that doesnā€™t matter. If Trumpā€™s mugshot can become a heroic image of strength and defiance, so can this.
