Why would anyone in the crowd or security detail know anything about it either way? Did the Craigslist ad advertise a higher rate for crowd fillers because of the risk of being in the line of fire of an intentionally missed shot?

Gee, I wonder what might be some accurate and appropriate labels for a political leader that only acknowledges elections as legit when they go their way and wants to āfixā the ācheatingā - authoritarian, dictator, fascist?
No, that canāt be it. Those are all histrionic, exaggerated calls for violence and assassinations.

We have had a lot of talk about this at work. Nurse: āIf I dressed a wound like that, I would lose my job!ā Other nurse: āYou would think he could afford better care than that!ā The medical types find it hilarious, but I suspect itās just emphasizing the horrible, horrible wound he suffered for our sinsā¦

Give me five ear bandages for a ladder-pulling fascist theyād sayā¦

He probably has a few stitches and doesnāt even need a dressing. A bandaid, more likely.

Itās just so weird. I would figure heād let that air out without a bandage because heād think that chicks like scars with an interesting story.

Itās probably not even noticeable from more than a few feet away without the dressing.

Itās clear to see in them, too. Every single interview Iāve seen with one of that manās supporters is just one resentment or conspiracy after another. Not once has one of them said what they stand for besides whining and revenge against perceived slights against Trump.

Yes, and also of course, perceived (and fantasized) slights against people like themselves. I think that at some level, another thing they relate to in him is his narcissism.

I believe it. I couldnāt even bring myself to intentionally hate watch any of it, and what little I did see was so incredibly boring and cliched anyway. Just the same tired racist, transphobic, xenophobic, anti-democratic shit as always. Certainly no calls for unity. The talking head coverage has felt so cynically pro Trump with no real analysis or fact checking.
When the gold star parents were marched out to talk about the Afghanistan withdrawal there was not a peep about how Biden was honoring the deal Trump made, or how Trump has said all kinds of horrible things about other gold star families and service members. Almost as if it wasnāt worth pointing out Trump only cares about the military when he can use it to boost his profile.
I canāt wait for this farce to be over.

Indeed!
I heard that he was going to speak tonightā¦ I despise that manā¦ I grew up watching pro-wrestling, and of course, he was the biggest and most well-known face (good guy) and it turns out, heās the biggest heel of them allā¦ 
I always like WCW/NWA before it got bought out by McMahon and the WWF anywayā¦

Drive home tonight local NPR had special coverageā¦ short story shorter I listened to Eric Trump for a few minutes, which I entirely regret. At least now I can thoroughly avoid the last scheduled speaker.

Hulk Hogan?
Didnāt Thiel fund that takedown of Gawker? Heās now funded Vance too, a record-breaking $100 million worth. Maybe heās a wannabe kingmaker, pulling all sorts of strings behind the scenes.
