I see Trump has just selected J D Vance as his running mate for the election, a "Deplorable" as Hillary would say. No doubt the legacy media will attempt to smear him for what he represents while the people will respect him for what he has achieved.

He has had a remarkable life; abandoned by his father, neglected by his mother and growing up amid the despair of post industrial small town America he rose to become a respected Marine and later achieved degrees in political science, philosophy and law. He told his story in the best selling book and movie Hillbilly Elegy. Good choice Donald.

Thanks for reminding me about the aircraft threat on that day - have to say your point is made in that I am not sure I knew about it at the time, and now only have a vague recollection of it compared to the protestors on the ground & in the streets., plus the aftermath of the cancellation.

Terrorism was not justified in those circumstances, & much as I despise the melon felon running for US president again, political assassination is not the way of democracy - interesting that the shooter was a Republican & do doubt we will eventually find out what made him shoot at his own candidate.
