I’ll admit it.
I’m shaken to the core by the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally on Saturday. He was shot by a sniper in his right ear. Blood streamed across his face in real time as the nation watched in horror. Trump is lucky to be alive. An attendee at the rally was killed. Others were critically injured.
It’s the most violent act against a sitting or former president that I can remember in my lifetime. (I was a baby when President Ronald Reagan was severely wounded in an assassination attempt in 1981.)

Nice of Lefty USA Today to define what Trump "has to do". While I am sure that Trump has that in mind, I'm also sure he knows that he has to speak to REPUBLICANS at the convention.

Reminds me of the Palestinians attacking Israel and then immediately wanting a cease fire.

Democrats divided the country, let them unite it. Trump is going to make it great with whoever loves America and the freedom it means to us. Those who don't can move to Zimbabwe.
Barack Obama split the country beginning in 2008 and his puppet, Brain-Dead Joe tried to finish the job.

Advice from the enemy. Thanks, USA Today, but we’ll take it from here. But, seeing as as you brought it up, how’s about you work on your side?

With cold, steely resolve, the GOP has to make it clear that we intend to take our Republic back from this mob of criminals and communists.

USA Today, you have no right to lecture the Republican party. Sit down and shut up.

What Ingrid means is that if Trump will only embrace open borders, open prisons, higher taxes, DEI, unrestricted infanticide, Palestinian sovereignty, and transgender surgery for minors, the country can again be united.

Fine. As long as unite means leftist loons become sane and start acting like adults, as opposed to toddlers who live under the incredible delusion that THEY are the adults and the adults are children.
Remember when Biden won? All lefties were saying 'the adults are back in charge'.
Want unity? The left needs to lay down its arms.

The same media that has been spewing hatred 24x7x365 now calls for unity. What they leave out is they will define unity. No way.

#5, Advice from the enemy..., really? What the author writes is identical to what many of Trump's closest supporters have advised.
FTA: "For those who were hoping to ward off a second Trump term, good luck. The photograph of Trump moments after the shooting, when he’s standing up from behind the podium surrounded by Secret Service, with his fist raised and blood across his cheek, will become the quintessential image of this campaign.
The fact that Trump had the wherewithal to react with strength at a time of extreme fear and danger says a lot about who he is, and it will rally people to his side like never before."
Not my idea of advice from the enemy. Of course if some posters didn't bother reading the article and based their comments on the name of the publication, the ignorance is understandable.

No, USATurd-catcher, the task at hand is to reverse every policy, program, and Executive Branch Bureaucracy that Democrats have established, created, constructed, or beat into the socialist dream. Get rid of ALL of them, then see where we're at.
We then need to DEPORT 11 million illegal invaders allowed in by Joe Biden... with the DNC paying for the removal.

It's the RNC's jub to unite the country? How about giving the DNC the job of restraining their continual urge to divide and giving the media the job to refrain from further demonizing Trump (and gaslighting in general)? The Dems had Trump tied up with legal attacks for a solid 8 years. They attacked him when he was in office, and harassed him after stealing the election. Using the "justice" department for distinctly unjust work.

I'd say that the Republican's job is to wrest control of the Legislative and Executive branches away from the progressives (e.g., proto-islamists and proto-communists. I so doing they can protect the conservative majority, and perhaps add to it, on the U S Supreme Court.

#NoUnityWithDemocrats
Democrats have been a HORROR to this country since before the Civil War.
A HORROR in every instance of the word.
Time to call them what they really are: ENEMIES. Anyone who supports these enemies is an enemy themselves.
The need to feel the wrath of Real Americans. #DestroyTheCommunistDemocrats

I hate to say it, but our country is not going to be united any time soon. Our political campaigns have been based upon the politics of personal destruction, raised to an art form by the Clintons. Short of a second Pearl Harbor, this struggle for power will continue until one side collapses.

Unity, MA. No way. Just the opposite.
I now understand what happened in the Balkans.
