November in July

Members of the Secret Service surrounded former President Donald J. Trump after shots were fired at a rally in Butler, Pa. — Doug Mills/The New York Times

It’s all over, except for the voting. Trump will serve another term in the White House.

“The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.” — Republican Vice President hopeful J.D. Vance

What an irresponsible thing for a United States senator to say. I see this event as being the latest in a long series of mass shootings. What Vance should be doing is promoting an assault weapon ban.

  1. That’s my assumption. Trump didn’t decide until Vance accused Biden. Vance has shown himself to be a purely political creature.

  2. Irresponsible? Sure, but why should he care. It may have clinched the VP nod for him.

  3. Yup. It’s all over. Some people are even whispering (loudly) that this was planned (and screw any collateral damage. Ride that brand-new sympathy vote on in to November. Tom and I hate Vance almost as much as Trump.

    And you made a very astute comment about the mass shootings! Mind if I borrow that?
