Trump will want to stay out in the open to show defiance. His handlers have to be telling him it’s time to think about higher security.

You should see the security barricaded by maralago when I was there three weeks ago a concrete wall and police car every 200 feet criss crossed about 6 blocks out each direction.
 
Say the Democrats are successful in taking out Trump.............what becomes of the election?

Also say the Democrats are successful in taking out Trump, I'd bet the chances of someone whacking Kamala or Joe or both as revenge is 100%. Trump getting killed would absolutely get the crazies off the porch.

I think you’re right.

What was it? 1914? When Franz Ferdinand was assassinated. That kicked off WWI. This could, potentially, kick off the next civil/revolutionary war.

No it won't. If Trump were killed we'd all hold our breath to see what happened, then many of us would be disappointed when widespread upheaval didn't take place. Sporadic violence is the most you'd see.

The vast majority would say, "This is fucked up." Then go to work.

No one is getting off any porch in meaningful numbers in this country.

If it’s Trump…We will all go OH MY GOD SO UNFAIR! While stilll going to work every day and paying our mortgages.

If it’s one of theirs… there will be hell to pay, all day every day until martial law is implemented. Part of me thinks they’re willing to sacrifice one of their own to get here anyway

Meal Team 6 would get some air time as they stand around in their larping outfits eating a twinkie but that would be about it.

Yeah…we’ll be going to work. But have you driven around this country? There’s a lot of people with absolutely nothing left to lose. Those are the people that will get off the porch. The worse the economy and this country gets, the more likely it will happen.

Kind of like Byro saying Springfield Ohio is methbilly central. Doubt those people will care if their last strand of hope is assassinated.

As much as it pains me, I have to agree. There will be no protest, riots or any acts of violence directed at democrat political leaders....and they know it.

Any threats made will be dealt with in a swift and harsh manner. It will make the Jan 6th bullshit seem like nothing.

And still, nothing.

Civil unrest or an extended investigation after the leading political candidate has been assassinated is a perfect reason to cancel elections. Civil unrest will come with the bonus of "We gotta take the guns."

Not much chance of Joe or Kamala getting whacked as they're not out there like Trump. Their security will also be ramped up 100x in anticipation.
 
A 58-year-old man detained Sunday in connection with an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump in Florida is a self-employed affordable housing builder in Hawaii who went on social media to weigh in on politics and current events, at times criticizing the former president.

Ryan Wesley Routh, who authorities suspect was planning to attack the former president as he played a round of golf, posted comments on an X account linked to him referencing the assassination attempt on Trump at a July rally in Pennsylvania.

Routh tagged Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, in separate posts, encouraging them to visit those injured at the rally.



“You and Biden should visit the injured people in the hospital from the Trump rally and attend the funeral of the murdered fireman. Trump will never do anything for them,” he wrote in a post directed at Harris.

In an April post on X tagging President Biden’s presidential account, he wrote that Biden’s campaign should be: “called something like KADAF. Keep America democratic and free. Trumps should be MASA …make Americans slaves again master. DEMOCRACY is on the ballot and we cannot lose.”

Routh also has ties to North Carolina, where public records show he registered as an “unaffiliated” voter without a party in 2012. He voted in that state’s Democratic primary in March of this year, according to the North Carolina State Board of Elections.

Routh has contributed more than $100 to ActBlue, which processes donations for Democrats, federal campaign finance records show.

Routh expressed strong support for Ukraine – in dozens of posts on X in 2022, saying he was willing to die in the fight and that “we need to burn the Kremlin to the ground.”

“I AM WILLING TO FLY TO KRAKOW AND GO TO THE BORDER OF UKRAINE TO VOLUNTEER AND FIGHT AND DIE…Can I be the example We must win,” Routh said in an X post in March 2022.

Routh then used his personal Facebook account last year to encourage foreigners to fight in the war. He tried to enlist Afghan conscripts in a flurry of posts, beginning in October 2023, presenting himself as an off-the-books liaison for the Ukrainian government.

“Afghan Soldiers- Ukraine is somewhat interested in 3000 soldiers, so I need every soldier that has a passport to send me a copy of their passport to send to Ukraine,” he wrote in one such post, which was published in English and Pashto.


Routh’s LinkedIn page says he started a company in 2018 called Camp Box Honolulu, which builds storage units and tiny houses; a story in the Honolulu Star-Advertiser said he donated a structure for homeless people.

“Work has never been about money rather building frameworks for people to thrive and succeed,” Routh wrote on his LinkedIn page. “Being mechanically minded I enjoy ideas and invention and creative projects with artistic flare.”

The company’s website says it uses standard economical, fast and efficient construction techniques and materials to “produce solutions to our own problems right here on the island.”



A Hawaiian man who gave Routh a bad review on Facebook told CNN he was unsettled by Routh’s response to the criticism. Saili Levi, owner of a vanilla company, said he had paid Routh $3,800 up front to build a trailer for his business, but when Levi came to Routh’s shop to review his work, it was shoddy.

Levi said when he asked Routh to improve the work via email, Routh ranted at him.

“He just kind of started ranting about, you know, ‘You think because you have money, you’re better than me?’” Levi said, adding that Routh also mentioned having gone to Ukraine to fight against Russia. “I kind of decided maybe I should just let it go for the sake of my family.”

Records from North Carolina, dating back a couple of decades, also show that he had scrapes with the law.

In 2002, Routh was arrested after he was pulled over by police and allegedly put his hand on a firearm before barricading himself in a business, according to a Greensboro News & Record article that year that cited police. A law enforcement confirmed the arrest to CNN on Sunday.


Public records reveal several court cases involving Routh since the 1990s.

State and federal authorities have repeatedly accused him of failing to pay his taxes on time. For example, he faced a federal tax lien in 2008 of about $32,000, according to court records.

In 1998, the state alleged he committed an offense related to a “worthless check,” though that case was dismissed.

Separately, judges have ordered him to pay tens of thousands of dollars to plaintiffs in various civil suits.

Routh’s eldest son, Oran, told CNN via text that Routh was “a loving and caring father, and honest hardworking man.”

The son wrote, “I don’t know what’s happened in Florida, and I hope things have just been blown out of proportion, because from the little I’ve heard it doesn’t sound like the man I know to do anything crazy, much less violent.”

Then, Joe can step down. And * ta da*....President Harris, without an election, even.
 
You hear all about violent right wing extremists. Something tells me the media won't be grappling with this violent left wing extremist.

‘I Met Trump’s Would-Be Assassin.’​

Free Presser Tanya Lukyanova interviewed Ryan Routh last year. ‘He was this zealous guy, an American who really wanted to volunteer to help Ukraine.’​

Oliver WisemanMonday, September 16, 2024
Barely two months after a bullet came millimeters from taking Donald Trump’s life at a rally in Pennsylvania, the Secret Service spotted a gunman hiding in the bushes at his golf club in West Palm Beach and opened fire. The man fled and was later detained. Trump was unharmed. “Nothing will slow me down,” he said in an email to supporters.

Law enforcement said they did not know if the suspect had fired a shot Sunday, but that he had an “AK-style” rifle with a scope and was about 400 yards from the former president. “With a rifle and a scope like that, that’s not a long distance,” said Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw. Law enforcement also identified the suspect in custody.

Ryan Routh is not a name that was familiar to most Americans when he was identified yesterday as the suspected would-be assassin of Donald Trump. But when it was made public, my colleague Tanya Lukyanova got a call from someone she used to work with. Why? Because Tanya had interviewed Routh last year over video for a piece she reportedfor Semafor on American-trained Afghan commandos who wanted to fight for Ukraine.

Routh had started something called the International Volunteer Center, which purported to help foreigners seeking to assist Ukraine’s war effort. He spoke to Tanya about his frustration with Kiev over how it handled foreign fighters. “Ukraine is very often hard to work with,” he told Tanya. “Many foreign soldiers leave after a week in Ukraine or must move from unit to unit to find a place they are respected and appreciated.”

“He was this zealous guy, an American who really wanted to volunteer to help Ukraine,” says Tanya of Routh, whom she spoke to for about twenty minutes over video while he was perched outside the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., last summer.

“You can tell right away that he’s crazy, but I think people thought, ‘Who cares? He’s supporting the right cause,’ ” said Tanya. “Everyone knew him as a little zealous, a bit much. But nobody really cared about that ‘too much’ because he was on the side of good. He was helping Ukraine.”

Back then, “he was just a harmless loon, who didn’t do anything too crazy.” (Though not totally harmless: records indicate a long list of run-ins with the law in North Carolina, including a 2002 conviction for possessing a fully automatic machine gun.)

But Routh hardly seemed a career criminal to Tanya. “He reminds me of Brad Pitt in Burn After Reading, if I am completely honest,” said Tanya, referring to the Coen Brothers’ black comedy and its protagonist—a bumbling, dim-witted personal trainer who attempts to blackmail a CIA analyst. “A guy who is overzealous and goes a little overboard on the conspiratorial side of things. But until he does something terribly wrong, nobody quite thinks of him that way.

“Ryan Routh wasn’t a story, until he allegedly went to Trump’s golf course with a gun.”
