    Not possible to care less. Grassley should be in a retirement home somewhere. Beyond that? Like I said, it is impossible for me to care less. You can waste all the bandwidth you want on your false god. I will ignore the whole investigation since, imo, the likely goal is to jam more heretical Trump worshippers into the Secret Service.

    Of course, had that happened to Biden or Obama the only thing we would have seen out of your keyboard would have been…nothing.

    Attempted Trump assassin Thomas Crooks practiced shooting at his preferred gun range the day before the Department of Homeland Security conducted a training there — just two months before he opened fire at the former president’s rally.

    Crooks, 20, visited the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club in Pennsylvania on May 22 around 3:10 p.m., where he practiced alone at the rifle range, according to a club logbook obtained by Sen. Chuck Grassley’s (R-IA) office.

    The very next day, beginning at noon, DHS conducted a “police training” at the range with at least three people, club records show.

    Clairton’s rifle range where Crooks would have practiced is 200 yards long — more than enough space for him to practice the 150-yard shot he would take at Trump on July 13, wounding the former president and killing a bystander.

    It is unclear whether DHS regularly held trainings there, or if the May 23 visit was an uncommon occurrence.

    a shot to the torso and it killing him would have probably won the GOP the presidency. I am glad the guy missed.

    I don't think so. Who would they have tapped to run in his place? Having a MAGA shoot him is just GOP on GOP violence. Already nobody cares.

    But Biden probably would have stayed in the race. They probably would have went with Haley or even Christie. both of them would have had a good chance to beat Biden. Plus, it would have been easier for them to spin it if he would have been killed. since it barely touched him, he didn't really get any sympathy from anyone other than his base.
    I don't think they would have went with DeSantis, personally.

    It would have created an interesting alternate universe where Republicans would have been the ones to name a new candidate. If they could have quickly rallied around a replacement, that candidate could have received a similar reception to Harris, as being the first to create an alternate option to the 2020 rematch.

    As this would have been just prior to the Republican convention, Haley would have been the only other candidate with any significant delegate count, but it would depend on what the Trump delegates did. Trump's delegates would I assume have been released, so they could have either united behind a candidate or splintered (some may have defected to Haley, but I suspect many others would reject her for having been 'disloyal' to Trump by challenging him).

    I suspect the nominating process would have been not unlike the recent Speaker of the House elections, but if they eventually settled on Haley or someone like Glenn Youngkin, I think they might have become a quick favorite in the race. But the new candidate would still face challenges that Harris has not. There probably wouldn't have been the seamless transition of the Biden campaign to the Harris campaign, and while Harris can use the money raised by the Biden-Harris campaign the new Republican candidate would have been unable to use Trump funds.

    And then there's the question of whether Biden would have still dropped out. With Trump no longer in the race, his main argument for staying would have been gone, and likewise if polls were to show him immediately trailing whoever the new Republican candidate was, so he likely would have been headed to the same decision. However, at that point, switching to Harris might have come of like more of a desperate copy-cat move, and probably wouldn't have generated the same excitement.
     
    BUTLER, Pa. — One of the city’s most famous artists has created a 400-pound sculpture of Donald Trump raising his fist in the air, capturing the moment that split this Pennsylvania community in two. Digital billboards blaming Democrats and the media for the assassination attempt still flash around town. And supporters of Vice President Kamala Harris say they’re routinely heckled.

    The long-simmering tensions in Butler that erupted after a gunman shot Trump in the ear at a rally have yet to cool nearly two months later. The former president’s infamous words after being hit — “fight, fight, fight” — have in some ways been adopted as the city’s motto as both sides dig in and try to ensure that their candidate wins enough votes here to capture a key battleground state.

    “The statue and ‘fight, fight, fight’ resonates with everybody,” said Bob Oesterling, a local businessman and Trump supporter. “Everyone knows you got to ‘fight, fight, fight’ or we are done as the United States of America.”

    Trump won 65 percent of the vote in Butler County in 2020 and needs to win here by a large margin again to carry Pennsylvania, motivating both Republicans and Democrats to get out the vote. But in the process, divisions are withering the backbone of a community that has historically prided itself on not letting politics get in the way of relationships.

    “People that come in are very afraid and very angry,” said Barbara Davidson, a manager for United Republicans of Butler County, which runs a store that sells T-shirts and trinkets depicting the moment after Trump was shot. “They are angry not only about the assassination attempt. They are angry about the direction the country is going on.”

    The word “fight” has been graffitied on streets and utility boxes. Shortly after the shooting, a Republican county commissioner told the panel’s sole Democrat that he will “burn in hell” because he had been pressing before the rally to tally its costs to the county. Meanwhile, some Democrats say they have been threatened for showing support for Harris.

    The Butler County Historical Society is collecting statements from residents of that violent July day. But the community’s remarks will be sealed for 75 years, out of fear that if they are made public, people might be harassed for what they said.

    Authorities have said they have not been able to determine what motivated 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks to open fire from a rooftop near the rally site, killing one, critically injuring two others and grazing Trump’s ear. They have said his online activity showed no consistent political ideology.

    Jennifer Ford, the historical society’s executive director, said Butler has seen flashes of political tension before, especially considering the community’s proximity to heavily unionized Pittsburgh. But Ford said she can’t recall another time that was “as outright frightening.”.................
