President Biden urged the nation to unite in a rare Oval Office address on Sunday night – a day after a gunman tried to assassinate former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally.
“My fellow Americans, I want to speak to you tonight about the need for us to lower the temperature in our politics and to remember that while we may disagree, we are not enemies, we are neighbors, we are friends, coworkers, citizens, and most importantly we are fellow Americans,” the 81-year-old president said.

When the inevitable happens after years of smearing Trump as worse than Hitler Joe wants to play the great unifier. Won’t work.

My BS meter is pegged to the max. BiteMe's Monday statement that we need to put the bullseye on Trump was a dog whistle.

Wow, if that’s how you treat your friends, Joe, no wonder you don’t have any. But Joe is happy. No one’s talking about his dementia any more, are they? Convenient.

And yet until today, EVERY time he railed about Trump it was "he'll destroy the country. He must be stopped, he cannot become President. He will end democracy"
Gonna call back any of your damned evil HATE, Joe?
Of course not.

The FBI cannot investigate itself out of Melania’s lingerie drawer. How can they investigate the Democrat assassination?

“Thankfully, former Trump [sic] is not seriously injured...." Yesterday he called him Donald, probably
because "my predecessor" was too snarky yesterday, but it's clear he hates the idea of calling him President Trump. Let's hope he gets used to it in the near future.

Stuff it, you lying poltroon! You have done nothing but rail against DJT for the last four years. Do you think we’ve forgotten your Nazi-like speech from Philadelphia? Leni Riefenstahl would have loved that imagery. Or how about your little quip about it “being time to put a bullseye on Trump”…
You are beyond disgusting 🤮.

Then stop acting like enemies. Stop all the BS prosecutions. Free the 1/6 prisoners. Stop all the poisonous rhetoric. Your actions would speak louder than any words.

That's why one of his people, Goldman, stated that Trump needs to be eliminated. Even a great fortune can't buy class or grace. What about FJB stating that he was done talking about the debate, it's time to put Trump in the bull's eye. Odd, I never ever heard the former president state anything like that. Crooked Joe. Correct. Can't string a sentence together, correct. Destroying the country. correct. ETC... Trump never, ever used low life vegetable's rhetoric.

The left has been painting the right as extremists since Obama took office, steadily ramping up the rhetoric ever since. They have repeatedly tried to poke the bear and cause the right to behave badly. In that time, they've shot a congressman, caused the near assassination of a SCOTUS justice, and the near-death of Donald Trump. The right has not, as they had hoped, gone wild by taking to the streets, burning down cities, rioting, looting, etc. You know, engaging in the behavior they would employ. So now, they are completely exposed, and so they want to sweep it away using the usual tactics - "both sides"ing it. The right needs to not do what they are so prone to do, which is join in with the, "yes, let's all be careful, tone it down, etc.". They need to make sure the left has to own what they've said and done by repeatedly exposing it. It is the left, not the right, who has engaged in violent rhetoric and behavior and we must not go along with helping them cover it up.

He calls us Nazis about to end Democracy, but we "aren't enemies"? Well, we aren't Nazis, but I think we are his enemies.

Play his "Red Speech" ask him if he wants to retract or rephrase ANYTHING...go line by line. Make him claim it was just "Rhetoric, an exaggeration", a LIE, or restate his claims once again...and not just the ones against Trump, but the dozens against everyone that supports him.
You have CALLED us all "Enemies" not just of YOU, but of America itself, of democracy, the constitution,of everything good in the world.
Not enemies? Dang sure ain't friends.
Notice the oval office is completely empty, no side chairs, no papers, not even a phone...He doesn't WORK there, no one does.
He mentioned Pelosi's husband, Gretchen Whitmer faked FBI kidnap plot, Jan 6...no mention of the sniper at the Repub baseball practice, the assassin that came to Cavanaughs house, the attack by a neighbor on Rand Paul, the attacks on several female congress persons, the three attempted attacks on Elon Musk,..The many many attacks on Repubs and even people just wearing a red hat by antifa and BLM folks(Which are actually subsidiaries of Code Pink) The many many attacks on police, often by mobs, the rampant lootings and mass shoplifting activities. The senior prolife preacher killed by an much younger, bigger Abortion supporter....as leader of a Mob.

Biden KNOWS that his heated rhetoric has contributed greatly to this shooting. NOW, he is worried that his guilt over causing this will be as obvious as his inability to function. If the debate wasn't enough to sink Biden, that Plus his nasty words that clearly contributed to this shooting will and he is NOT going to be able to get ahead of it.

The assassin missed. Joe is afraid that Trump supporters would want payback. He wants to be friends now.
You are my enemy, Joe. You are also my country's enemy.

Not long after Trump was elected in 2016, Chuck Schumer goes on a talk show and makes that threat that the Intel Community has six ways from Sunday to get Trump (I paraphrase), so who exactly started attacking Trump and his supporters? Of course, the same Schumer threatened two Supreme Court justices and on and on it goes....
