Shots Fired at White House Correspondants Dinner

Then what are they calling for, exactly

Stopping the calls for assassinations would be a good start.

Stopping the calls for assassinations would be a good start.

Here is Todd Blanche claiming that the "violent rhetoric" responsible for the assassination attempt includes "being overly critical and calling the President horrible names for no reason"

Does criticism and name calling count as "calls for assassinations"?

No.  

But the argument they are making is, if Trump is Hitler, then it'd be a justification to kill him.

But since the left calls EVERYONE Hitler, and has since I can remember, there is no violation of the 1st Amendment.

So even you can still  call Trump Hitler and wish him dead.

What you cannot do, is encourage, promote, or plan his death.

The disconnect is loud. Has been.

Here in America, we’ve been told right-wing white nationalists, are the sole reason for political violence, at least “on paper”.

In truth, from Luigi Mangioni, to Charlie Kirk’s death, to multiple attempts on 47’s life, etc., it seems that the elephant in the room, is actually the evident acts themselves, and not what has been pushed from multiple angles otherwise. Sure you could argue about ICE or other instances, but the fact is we cannot abide or allow for political violence to be the norm. No matter how you feel about Trump or any other person or party.

Full stop.

Indeed the temperature and political climate in America is volatile and hostile, but both sides could stand to stand down and try to find some common ground rather than exacerbating the rhetoric and violent extremism we are seeing at an increasingly and alarmingly frequency.

I have to wonder if the SPLC has played a role in the incitement to violence.

I honestly wouldn't worry about that yet...

The Senate in 2025 passed S Resolution 486.

I think we have enough checks and balances for them to not go total gestapo over this. Just do AS HE DOES. COPY TRUMP.

In any worst case scenario, as long as the constitution still matters, all your defense needs to be is a fucking internet archive of Trump social media posts. 

Just dont be any worse than he was towards Mueller or Reiner following any deaths (if you need to mock the deaths of people you don't like), and dont call him anything worse than he calls others.

Like, "terrible," "awful," "disgusting," "low IQ," "evil..." and so on in that fashion.. Copying his context exactly is like a pre-prepped defense for any dystopian hellscape where this gets used to go after media or citizens... if the Senate doesnt block it again...

* DON'T COPY HIM WHEN HE SAYS PEOPLE SHOULD BE PUT TO DEATH!  
* Don't copy anything that can be construed as a threat in anyway.

I just want to know who gets to decide what "irresponsible, inflammatory rhetoric that incites violence" is

Because the "insane rhetoric" that Leavitt is calling out the Democrats for must not be illegal (yet) seeing as no one's been arrested for Inciting the assassination attempt

Does this language from the President also count as "irresponsible, inflammatory, insane"?

Or nah

In any worst case scenario, unless we ACTUALLY turn to fascism, all your defense needs to be is a fucking internet archive of Trump social media posts. 

Just dont be any worse than he was towards Mueller or Reiner following any deaths (if you need to mock the deaths of your rivals), and dont call him anything worse than he calls others.

They will always come after our free speech and our weapons of self defense 

Always --- guaranteed 

And we should always be willing to fight to the death to keep both

Who are you going to kill to protect your rights?

Please don't answer.

Conservatives want the focus to be on Democrat hate so they can exploit this crisis in order to suppress "hate" speech in America 

But Trump is not special, he's not getting singled out or picked on

All Presidents serve under the threat of assassination, it comes with the territory 

Maybe the reason why Trump has so many close calls compared to other Presidents is because his security is piss poor

Executive summary
 
Documented reporting and timeline compilations show both Barack Obama and Donald Trump have been the targets of multiple assassination plots and attempts; available sources count roughly five or more distinct plots tied to Obama and at least four to Trump, with recent events narrowing the gap but — by the raw number of recorded plots cited in these sources — Obama appears to have been the target of slightly more documented plots overall . . .

Interesting that it isn't splashed all over the media.  And that we rarely hear about them.

Better security?

Have There Been More Assassination Plots Against Obama...
