“Dude with a rifle on the roof? Ah, don’t worry: he’s one of ours.”

Not sure where I saw it, but I saw it mentioned that a cop actually did go up on the roof. He startled the shooter who quickly turned and opened fire on Trump. I expect if it weren't for that interruption and he had longer to line up the shot the conversation now would be very, very different.
Then again, I've also just read that someone from the school he went to has said that he failed to join the rifle team, as his shooting was "comically terrible" and dangerous.

I read something similar in a Reddit comment, so take it with a huuuuuuuge pinch of salt. He allegedly turned and pointed his gun at a cop who just noped the fuck out of there.
This is such a colossal fuckup for both the police and the secret service regardless of the above being true.

Any chance whatsoever that this will knock some sense into Trump, and he'll stop spewing the kind of extremist rhetoric that has become his stock in trade?
A forlorn hope, I know, but forlorn hopes are all I have where the US election is concerned.

He was posing, fist in the air, in the middle of his Secret Service, chanting "Fight!!" barely a minute after it happened. I give him maybe five minutes out of the hospital before he's turning it into martyrdom and/or blaming Biden and the Democrats himself after the Congress people that have already done so. Assuming he isn't already on his phone Truthing about it...

I think he'll use this as an excuse to go after the news media that isn't on his side. They've already started accusing the likes of CNN and NBC of stoking the fires of hatred against Trump. Most likely hoping they'll back off their criticism on the run up to the election.
Sebastian Gorka was on Sky spouting this exact line yesterday. When the interviewer pointed out that this is a problem on both sides of the political spectrum, Gorka actually called him an imbecile. It was a really strange, uncomfortable exchange, honestly.

JuniorFE That'll be a 'no', then? You hear about people having near-death experiences, seeing their lives flash before their eyes, and thinking, "Oh, shit - I gotta make some changes!" Too much to hope that a malignant narcissist like Trump could experience such a moment of clarity.

All those people who've been saying Trump is a dangerous moron are responsible! It's exactly equivalent to what Trump did to stoke the fires of the Jan 6th riots.

I do wonder if the world will end up in a better place had the the attempt had been successful or not. It's impossible to know I guess. Can't really see a "good" trajectory either way.
If it had been I can using some dickheads treating him like a martyr of sorts.

He has torn up his speech for the Republican Convention on Thursday, which was supposedly going to be the bestest bestly speech of all time, to change it to one that is not only going to bring unity to the country, but to the whole world. I fully expect this event will lead him into going into full on Messiah mode.

Yeah, his language has already pivoted to "God saved me from death for a higher purpose." I fully expect he's going to go full-on Christian Nationalist from this point forward.

We'll just ignore the irony of God intentionally saving a serial liar/abuser/cheat/fraud/criminal/racist/rapist/paedophile.

So the speedrun towards Gilead will continue apace.
Actually no, haven't watched it or read it recently but I think that government at least had some green policies, which makes them slightly better than the Trump cunts ideas.
My phone corrected cult to cunt and you know, I think that's valid.

I've been meaning to ask this for ages, but are we talking about the Gilead from Eragon or the Gilead from The Dark Tower?

If you're not joking, it's the Handmaid's Tale version.
It'll be more of a Discordia type state if we're comparing to Dark Tower.

I've been thinking it was the Medieval Cowboy one for years now! In fairness, an arthurian paradise built and protected by the power of the handgun seemed on theme... That's what I get for never reading Handmaid's Tale...

The judge has just dismissed the classified documents case against Trump. Say the whole thing, the judge appointed by Trump dismissed the classified documents against Trump, citing as justification writings of SCOTUS Justice Thomas (about a completely unrelated case), who is rather transparently working for Trump. Much as I'd like to say otherwise, that case was 90% dead in the water the moment Aileen QAnon Cannon got ahold of it and started stonewalling every little detail of it...
