Secret Service just shot an armed intruder outside the White House. Trump whisked away by security team, and returns less than 10 minutes later.

Possible assassination attempt?

Yes there is.....and Donald has it. ;-) to an extreme.......like he has everything. Everything is in superlatives with him. (BIGLY) ;-) (even spell check hates the word bigly) He should really contribute his "genius" brain to science. (postmortem, of course )

Jacob Blake, a Black man shot in the back by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, is paralyzed from waist down, his father says

Good grief...SEVEN shots to the mans BACK. What kind of policing is that?? This is becoming the American "signature" of mishandling and over reacting to situations that could have been handled less violently. America's gun culture is equivalent to some third world backward county that does not even have indoor plumbing. These are only the cases that reach the media attention.

Do you know the full story on what happened from the scuffle he had with police before breaking free to reach into his vehicle for something before being shot?

Thank goodness he is alive to answer some of these questions

NOTHING "justifies" shooting a man in the back seven times, at close range in front of his young children while holding his shirt. NOTHING The US culture of violence in so entrenched now........ and reinforced by its love of guns.............that no one can say it is a good country, or a safe country, or even a nice country. They have a pathological hero worship of aggression and violent peple. which is reinforced by their movie culture.

e may be alive......but he is paralyzed. And all you care about is questioning him........... while ignoring the behavior of the cop that shot him in this egregious manner.

Just following Biden's direction and shooting him in the lower extremities and not shoot to kill

Biden: Officers should train to shoot attackers ‘in the leg instead of the heart’

And now since it came out that investigators leaked that he threatened too and found a knife within reach this is more important than ever

Joe Biden says police should be retrained to shoot knife-wielding suspects 'in the leg instead of the heart' as he speaks to black community leaders over death of George Floyd

So was he following a new protocol when he shot below the waist?

President Trump, aka, TWEETY PERV, is out of touch with reality!!! Trump is describing violent activities, as a threat to citizens of Joe Biden's home town in Pennsylvania,

These Violent Activities occurred in various cities around the country DURING Trumps Presidency!!

TRUMP'S REIGN OF "MAYHEM"
"Joe Biden is no friend of Pennsylvania - he is your worst nightmare. If you want a vision of your life under Biden presidency, think of the smoldering ruins in Minneapolis, the violent anarchy of Portland, the bloodstained sidewalks of Chicago, and imagine the mayhem coming to your town, and every single town in America."

I believe President Trump is personally responsible for the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles . Does that make it true ?

Not a good sign when 2 of CNN's anchors and avid Dem. supporters are openly questioning Biden and Harris not going public and speaking out against the violence.

CNN's Don Lemon calls on Biden to 'stand at a podium' in addressing violence

CNN anchor Don Lemon on Thursday implored Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden to "stand at a podium in D.C." and "not in a Zoom thing in his house" to discuss increasing violence in some American cities.

"I think his message would be stronger if he stands in front of a podium, and not in a zoom thing at his house. I'm just being honest," Lemon said during a discussion with fellow CNN anchor Chris Cuomo.

Cuomo responded by saying "presentation matters," prompting a response from Lemon.

"Presentation matters," he echoed. "To come out and stand at a podium in D.C., or wherever, even in Wisconsin, and say - listen, this is what I expected today if they were going to really come out and do the thing right, whether it was going to be Kamala Harris or Joe Biden: 'Good afternoon, everyone. The rioting has to stop. The violence has to stop. And under a Biden-Harris administration, there will be no lawlessness on the street.' "

The commentary from Lemon comes two nights after he said that Democrats "ignoring" riots and violence in some U.S. cities represents a "blind spot" for the party and called on Biden to address the problem because it is "sticking" in polling and focus groups, particularly after deadly violence in Kenosha, Wis., in response to the police shooting of Jacob Blake.

"The people who are out there rioting are not protected by the First Amendment. And they were usurping your power and all of the gains that you have made in your movement," Lemon added later on Thursday. "And it's got to stop."

Biden has addressed the issue in a video message released on social media, saying that "needless violence won't heal us."

"We need to end the violence - and peacefully come together to demand justice," the former vice president added......More

Trump is just projecting what he is onto Biden.. It is almost impossible to listen to him now and not feel nauseated. His self grandiosity is at toxic levels.
