What a lame attempt at an explanation about his shoes. Tackled so hard his shoes came off … and they are tight? Bullshit I say. He’s watched too many cartoons. 
And he’s rewriting his convention speech to express a message of unity?  Please. How could he deliver that message credibly? “Fight, fight  fight.” Idiot.

The Gunman and the Would-Be Dictator

Violence stalks the president who has rejoiced in violence to others. — David Frum, The Atlantic

The source of violence and fear is Trump himself

“A climate of violence and fear has indeed been fostered in the United States over the last decade—but its primary source has been Trump himself.”

“Almost any criticism of Trump,” writes the journalist Edward Luce, “is already being spun by MAGA as an incitement to assassinate him. This is an Orwellian attempt to silence what remains of the effort to stop him from regaining power.”

Former Classmates Describe Crooks As Politically Conservative

— Philadelphia Inquirer 8:23 p.m. ET: “Former student Max R. Smith remembered Crooks as an intelligent classmate with conservative political leanings. Smith recalled participating in a mock debate in a course they took together, where their teacher posed questions on government policy and had students stand on opposite sides of the classroom to signal their support or opposition. “The majority of the class were on the liberal side, but Tom, no matter what, always stood his ground on the conservative side,” Smith said. “That’s still the picture I have of him. Just standing alone on one side while the rest of the class was on the other. … It makes me wonder why he would carry out an assassination attempt on the conservative candidate.”

BBC: Crooks had a membership at a local shooting club, the Clairton Sportsmen’s Club, for at least a year. According to its website, the club is based south of Pittsburgh and is “one of the premier shooting facilities in the tri-state area” of Pennsylvania, Ohio and West Virginia. It has more than 2,000 members. It has multiple gun ranges, including a high-power rifle facility with targets up to 171 metres away.

Crooks was wearing a T-shirt from Demolition Ranch, a YouTube channel known for its guns and demolition content. The channel has millions of subscribers featuring videos on different guns and explosive devices.

Washington Post: “A quiet kid” is how Sarah D’Angelo, 20, remembered the teenager she saw before 7:30 a.m. almost every school day for years at Bethel Park High School. On Sunday, she found herself thinking about their final project in honors American history, which was about the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Their teacher instructed them to determine what they thought happened — including how many gunmen there were, and where they hid to fire the fatal shots.

5 months ago, Alex Jones and InfoWars guest Ivan Raiklin discussed how assassinating Trump would be beneficial, according to them, because it would lead to retaliatory “in kind” assassinations of a “deep state” list which includes President Joe Biden. Ivan Raiklin: “If they [assassinate Trump], option 2, behind Trump, is going to be so much better for us and so much worse them.” Alex Jones: “I was about as to say, If they kill him, that’s best case scenario from a sick level. From a sick level medium, ‘Oh, please kill him.’ I mean, it’s so good after that.” Raiklin: “Oh, it’s going to be the best cleansing and the fastest cleansing that we’ve ever seen in my lifetime. I guaran—, I access, with almost certainty, with the highest level of confidence, that if they assassinate Trump, it is so game over for them.”

Maybe the bullet knocked some sense into him but I doubt it. PTSD is going to hit his ass every time he tries to close his eyes, it will smack him upside his head. Sudden loud noises are going to get him too. The excitation of this week may cover the symptoms, but something’s gonna happen to him. 

DONALD TRUMP is now the survivor of an assassination attempt. While he appears in good spirits and his team says he’s doing just fine, that type of near-death experience would rattle and forever change even the strongest among us.
The violence of Saturday is, at the very least, changing their strategy.Trump is notorious for mercilessly skewering his adversaries, taking shots below the belt and straight-up lying about opponents. Many would expect that after Saturday, he’d turn a damning finger on Democrats, blaming their rhetoric — like much of his party — for his brush with death.
Instead, we’re told that this week, Trumpwill adopt an unfamiliar, almost benevolent posture, and call for unity in the face of tragedy.
Adopting the nice-guy strategy is not an easy task for about a million reasons. Trump’s instincts when attacked are to lash out. He’s spent decades of his life identifying others’ bruises and gleefully pressing on them — an approach which has endeared him to his supporters, who see in him a fighter that takes no prisoners.
Then there is the emotional reality.From our conversations with Trump confidants in Milwaukee yesterday, we can tell you that many are shaken and angry over the fact that not only Trump, but their own colleagues had to duck for cover amid the crossfire, their lives hanging in the balance. Shelving those feelings for the time being and striking a tone of magnanimity is easier said than done.

Poobah, I think you’re right about the prospect of a new judge.  My recollection is that it was just serendipitous that Cannon’s name came up when the case was assigned randomly under the SDFL rotation assignment procedure. The only question I have about that is whether if the case was refiled by US attorney for SDFL (Markenzy Lapointe) he would have to seat another Grand Jury to return the indictment or whether he could proceed under the existing one, but I suspect that if on appeal the 11th Circuit denied a judge reassignment he would have to re-indict to get out of Cannon’s Court.

From Obama’s chief speech writer…

Jon Favreau @jonfavs

I know some Dems are in knots over what to say right now, but I do think it’s pretty straightforward:

We should oppose political violence in all its forms, whoever it comes from, whoever it targets.

We should oppose leaders who condone political violence.

We should oppose leaders who encourage political violence.

We should oppose leaders who amplify their supporters’ calls for political violence.

We should oppose leaders who say that our military and law enforcement should be able to shoot political protesters, or people who may have illegally crossed our border, or people who are merely suspected of breaking the law.

We should oppose leaders who’ve sent their armed supporters to scare our political representatives into throwing away our votes.

We should oppose leaders who’ve refused to stop political violence even when begged to do so by their own supporters.

We should oppose leaders who say that their supporters who’ve been convicted of committing political violence should be pardoned.

We should oppose these leaders because democracy can’t survive if political violence becomes acceptable, and the only acceptable way to oppose these leaders is by persuading people to vote against them.

Interesting NYT article about family estrangement. OT but maybe not in the schema of things given both the Trump and Biden family dynamics that seem to be the new template for everything. As happens more frequently, I find the 1265 readers posted comments more enlightening than the actual article. One example:

Brendan : There is a profound rise of dangerous narcissism in our society, abetted by highly unethical and frankly insidious therapists. There are certainly instances of where family cut-offs are warranted, but these are relatively rare instances. Cutting off contact with your lineage, your family blood-line is a tremendously dramatic step and should be cautioned against unless warranted by truly grave circumstances. Even alcoholism, which is a medical condition, being used as an excuse to sever ties with parents, is often misguided. Young people in previous generations had to storm the beaches of Normandy, and endure terrible conditions in Korea, Vietnam and later in Iraq and Afghanistan. Many of them had terrible childhoods and then endured terrible things. Did they childishly blame their parents for their difficult lives? No. They set appropriate boundaries with their parents, if need-be, and forged ahead, and made something of their lives as adults. Engaging in childish, selfish, dangerous narcissism and adopting a Victim mindset and playing the Family Cut-Off card is tragic, and often utterly disgraceful. No one must like their parents, or even love them, and or even see them much. But unless the circumstances are exceptionally grave, absolutely do not cut them off.

I read through about half of the Cannon Order and did not find it compelling.  It is a typical order filled with scores of VERY short snippets – most that sound like dicta – from cases related tangentially at best to the appointment and funding issues before the court in the documents case.  She couldn’t find a thread through special counsel to independent counsel to special prosecutors … etc., etc.,  Somehow the fact that as Andrew points out the appointment process by the AG (or in Mueller’s case, acting assistant AG) passed muster in every case where one was appointed escaped her.

I’m sure I’d pick this guy to be my VP after saying this shit about me: A “cynical asshole” or “America’s Hitler.” In February 2016, Vance sent a message to his former law school roommate, Josh McLaurin, that McLaurin has recounted publicly. In it, Vance said he went “back and forth between thinking Trump is a cynical asshole like Nixon who wouldn’t be that bad (and might even prove useful) or that he’s America’s Hitler,” according to a screenshot McLaurin shared on social media in 2022 when Vance was running for Senate in Ohio.   “Trump is cultural heroin.” In a July 2016 piece for the Atlantic magazine, Vance compared Trump to “cultural heroin,” a “new pain reliever” that promised easy solutions to the mounting social problems of suffering communities — but that ultimately “could not fix what ails them.”   “To every complex problem, he promises a simple solution,” Vance wrote, citing Trump’s promises to bring jobs back by simply punishing offshoring companies or to cure the opioid epidemic by building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. “He never offers details for how these plans will work, because he can’t. Trump’s promises are the needle in America’s collective vein.” “I can’t stomach Trump.” In an August 2016 interview with NPR’s Terry Gross, Vance mused that he “might have to hold my nose and vote for Hillary Clinton” if he thought Trump had a really good chance of winning — or, he joked, he might write in his dog on the November ballot.   “But I think that I’m going to vote third party because I can’t stomach Trump,” Vance said. “I think that he’s noxious and is leading the White working class to a very dark place. And ultimately I just don’t share Hillary Clinton’s politics.”   “Fellow Christians, everyone is watching us when we apologize for this man.” In October 2016, after a video from “Access Hollywood” emerged that showed Trump bragging about groping women — and saying that “when you’re a star, they let you do it” — Vance lamented on Twitter, now X, suggesting that to justify Trump’s… Read more »

Trump and Mini Me Trump, all-MAGA, as 39 year old Vance is projected to advance MAGA in the manner of Noah Cross, the evil father in the film, “Chinatown”, who wanted to control the future . I am not saying Trump wants to physically sire a descendant with Vance like Noah Cross did with Mrs. Mulwray, just metaphorically sire future MAGA elitists like Hawley and “them”.
I knew it was going to be Vance because Little Marco doesn’t have the panache and Vance is the one Silicon Valley product of greed that simply fits the bill.  Yeah, hillbilly start, but look how he ended up. Old Doug was an outlier at best, now shipped back to North Dakota forever. 
Andrea Mitchell was apoplectic Sunday talking about Trump’s fat head making a perfect target for a second, third shooter. The SS should have had three bodies atop Trump until the shooter was neutralized.  I am terrified at a Trump-Vance presidency.  I may have to join a fellow blogger in Grosse Pointe who is going to swim to Canada if Trump wins. She’s already shopping for a wet suit and big flippers.
