If it's any indication, no one here has mentioned a damn thing about it, and I've been chatting with folks all morning. Literally, not one word.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

Dr.Ruth, Richard Simmons, and Donald Trump would have been an interesting trio of 1980s celebrities. Instead, Shannen Doherty, who had a hard life in some ways.

Instead, Shannen Doherty
Oh, dang. That really sucks.

No one has said anything here either. But it's slow and not many people who are ever talk about current events. It's the second shift I'm wondering what will be said.
I will say that my work environment is entirely different than when Trump was first elected. I was briefly working at the pet store chain and people were celebrating Trump's win. Even the manager who is lesbian was happy.
Here at this Wal Mart there are bunch of lefty /progressive leaning people. Also some conservatives but definitely more vocal anti GOP people

Our wings are not tired.
I saw the Doherty news this morning. Harder to see younger losses.
The Trump shooting happened when I was boarding my plane and several people messaged me asking if I saw the news.
Yes, I know I was glib above with my initial response. I am truly grateful that he wasn’t badly hurt because the fallout would escalate the division and hatred. Maybe it will serve as a wake up call for some.
I’m sorry for those killed and injured for just wanting to see their guy.
Still want them to shave his hair. Sorry. Not Sorry.

On a happier note, today is Zenkitty’s birthday and I hope she is having a lovely day.

Happy Birthday Zenkitty!
I didn't know what to think with the initial news, but as more info becomes available it seems to be just what it appeared to be. Horrible and not a good sign of times to come, though I am allowing myself to hope that being grazed by a bullet that could have killed him with 3 inches difference will terrify Trump to the bottom of the rotted cavity where his soul should be.

I don't think it will do anything but make him more antagonistic.
I saw some Republican spinning Trump putting is fist in the air as him having the strength and fortitude to let the people know he was ok. I'm not going to be generous enough to agree with that take.
But it does look like there was some kind of communication failure with the various security people and agencies
