"he's an existential threat to democracy but there's no place for violence and we should all be relieved he's alive and going to take revenge" - obungler
Dems using that propaganda AND doing absolutely nothing about it (not even having a plan to pay lip service to about it) AND Pudding Brain Joe saying he's not going anywhere - just he's going to do his goodest job and that's what really matters Jack. I can see where someone's brain could break in the wrong way to do this.
If you're going to throw your life away over this bullshit though, at least don't miss
This is why you don't do adventurism. Or at the very least if you come at the king take no chance at all that you'll miss. Trump is the last guy you want to almost kill, now he's getting elected and will have the focus and fury present that only an attempted assassination can invigorate. Vengeful Trump is way worse than normal Trump, normal Trump can't stick to a task, Vengeful Trump now has evidence that he might die if he doesn't. I understand the urge, but dude just fucked us all
people saying this is staged by trump's campaign have absolutely lost touch with reality. no fucking way trump would ever agree to anything where he could possible be hurt, especially when he's already leading in all the polls
Also I don't even care how this makes me sound but sucks that it missed him(grazed his ear) because now I will never finish filling out my bingo card. Security is gonna be super tight going forward.
TPM: "We’re now seeing reports that Trump was hit not by a bullet but by glass fragments from the plexiglass shields which are there to protect the President." That probably explains why so little blood.
huh i thought all republicans were badass gun owners who would totally take down a shooter singlehandedly but they all immediately took cover and started panicking that's strange
lmao was that a BB gun or something? he's a showman so it'd be totally in character, the little triumphant fist pump photoshoot makes me lean towards false flag
I suspect that the individual who made the assassination attempt was most likely one of those really unhinged corporate neo-liberals that fanatically believes that Donald Trump is secretly "a Russian agent." Even though Trump's actual foreign policies as president were just as anti-Russia as any of his predecessors (his administration continued fully supporting and arming the fascist Maidan dictatorship in Kiev). Just pointing this out, because it's only a matter of time before someone starts falsely accusing socialists/communists of being responsible.
Yknow, this was always a very real possibility since 2016, it's kinda weird it hadn't happened yet and it really should have been a contingency we always kept on the table. Catching this as a blindside is a bit embarrassing.
Every red MAGA social media is going to rip themselves apart over a struggle session between avenging Trump by assassinating Biden or letting Biden live for the easy W.
Just got scolded by my lib parents for yelling "god fucking damnit" when we saw Trump survive the shootig. I'm sorry but are we seriously going to pretend that him dying would not have been a better outcome?
The media is such shit. Apparently a shard of Plexiglass hit Trump's ear. Many media outlets are saying a shard of glass hit his ear not a shard of plastic.
So any further news? I just got up and watched the clip. If his ear is intact he should totally ask the doctors to remove it. would work so well as a bloody shirt, oh and who wants to bet he sells his bloodstained shirt and they frame it in the white house?
People who are assuring us that this means Trump is going to win are clearly unfamiliar with the deeply weird lore of this country's THREE mid-seventies presidential-candidate assassination attempts.
Trumps polling is going to sky rocket. Biden drops out. Replaced by Kamala. During the debate Trump grabs her by the pussy and boom. He loses with 85% of the vote priming another j6
The rtv server I'm in has a politics channel for some awful reason, that I should have muted ages ago because of course they're all libs. And people were talking about this obv. And someone said "vote, you gotta vote" or whatever of course and said voting wont help. Earlier a trans woman in the chat was being apoplectic that this would mean she gets killed and me and a few other people heart break reacted her post. The second biggest turbolib in the server said "You don't get to broken heart Delcatty's post then not vote lol. Thats so two faced." I absolutely lost it and went off, luckily with one exception the chat didnt dogpile and more did a "we should stop shit flinging" thing but god beign talked down to by a lib in that moment honestly made me lose it. I probably have more on the line then he does anyway as a disabled leftist with trans girlfriend's and lots of trans friends. And you know what? I can't correctly pretend that all those trans people in my life are anti-voting, said girlfriend is voting Dem in November. But I do know trans people who are anti-voting obv since I post on this forum lol. So trying to talk down to me in this moment just fucked me up.
Reminder that I live in MASSACHUSETS lmao. I couldnt "stop Trump with my vote" if I actually did vote.
