    Is this history repeating itself? Or, at least, rhyming, as Mark Twain said?

    ClydeR, I see you are still in the first stage of grief. The PC is here to support you in coping with another Donald Trump presidency. Just let it all out…

    The attempt on Reagan's life was not shortly before an election. An assassination attempt three years before does not have the same weight in the minds of voters. And I thought it was interesting that both Roosevelt and Trump were former presidents running for election for a non-consecutive term.

    On the other hand, there was no teevee in Roosevelt's time. For both Reagan and Trump, voters were able to see at least the aftermath of the event.

    Judge Cannon just dismissed the documents case.

    Voters saw this, which even you have to admit is a powerful patriotic image that works very well in Trump’s favor.

    Joe Biden keeps calling for unity (remember when he ran on that message in 2020? LOL) and turning down the temperature on political rhetoric.

    You know what would be great for that? If he agreed to play a 18 hole round of golf with Trump for charity. America needs to see it.

    I mean a week ago Biden said it was time to put Trump in the crosshairs. What did they think was going to happen?
