Elections Second Assassination Attempt of Trump at his Florida golf course

[Barteh]

The bet will void if he gets killed I would imagine. Double check with the books but I highly doubt the bet wouldn't be refunded if he's assassinated.

My bookie doesn't mention anything about assassinations in the rules. I mean it's a pretty fair assumption they'd refund the bet because it'd be the right thing to do but it's still taking an extra gamble.

Liberals still comparing Trump to Hitler huh? Wow. I thought it was all hyperbole but you guys are really starting to believe your own fantasies.

a spear is a weapon. A gun is a weapon. A bow and arrow is a weapon. They serve one function- causing harm.

A knife is a tool.

And a weapon is still a tool. It enables you to perform an action you either cannot do without it or do an action easier than you can with just your own body, hands and feet. By calling something a weapon I know the basic purpose of that thing but that doesn't mean its not a tool. You've just broken it down into a sub-group of tool.

By calling something a vehicle I know the basic purpose of that thing is to transport. A plane is also technically a vehicle because a vehicle is a machine that is designed to move itself, usually to carry people or cargo. When people hear the word vehicle though they just think of land-based machines.

I will however at this point just say we will not agree on the fine points and move on.

Give them a call.

Meh...

You tell me why the two shooters happened to be Black Rock commercials. It's fucking.... Weird

I actually don't know.

I'd bet on Trump if I has confident he's gonna be alive on November 5th.

No doubt they're gonna keep coming after him. It's the only tactic the democrats have left so they're all rooting for it and helping to create the climate to radicalize more loonies.

You are pretty uneducated and otherwise uncouth. But when the president can’t serve, the vice president takes their spot, the opposing party doesn’t just slide in. Hope that helps

While I agree that is a very dangerous road to go down.. Trump has/is doing the same exact thing.

He has said multiple times about how the country is at stake if he loses, and that the democrats are destroying democracy, the country, etc.

He has played a part in this too whether you like it our not - he is not completely innocent. He just happens to be getting hit with the repercussions.

It's always been said that this is a very dangerous road to go down in politics - something him and his campaigns have been known for - and now we are seeing why. Maybe it is time for both sides to tone down the rhetoric.

We shouldn't accept an equivocation between the two sides here. When Trump got shot at the first time both Biden and Kamala reached out to him as a gesture of good faith. When Paul Pelosi got attacked by a madman with a hammer Trump made fun of him. There is no comparison.

 

[Barteh]

Are you saying Democrats are behind the assassination attempts?

All the idiots calling him hitler, racist, threat to democracy etc. are all responsible for it, yes.

The only questions is which ones of them are the useful idiots and which ones are the evil ones who realize what they're doing? Most people in the media and democrat party are most likely the evil ones.

The typical brainwashed redditor or sherdog lefty I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt and put in the useful idiot category.

glad you can see the logic in my post.

I think any former president who is in the running for president again ought to have the same level of protection as the sitting president. two attempts is too much. we can do better on this front and we must do better frankly.

This will most likely happen but not this year. It will all come down to making room for more funds to hire extra people and equipment.

The government is already finishing up budgets that are due in October.

So if anything thing is passed it will take place next term and not in the present.

And, it should be added, Paul Pelosi was also actually seriously wounded. He had his skull fractured and had to undergo surgeries.

Without reading every post I'm guessing what people are trying to say is that he shouldn't be killed but if you're going to be a divisive and antagonistic figure in a country where everyone is tooled up and there is inadequate mental health services then you could be putting yourself at risk.

Ok so if Trump is the same political figure today that he has been over the past several years and is not going to stop being divisive and antagonistic (to some, not all think this way)

And there are some who don't feel he should be killed, even for being divisive and antagonistic.

Who is taking the responsibility to talk the nuts who do think he should be killed for being divisive and antagonistic off the ledge?

Or are we just going to stand back and expect Trump supporters and MAGA supporters to speak out to these nuts who are seemingly willing to inflict harm on others, and let it all fall on deaf ears until a bullet does eventually go through Trumps skull?

What is the end game here?

trump has set this tone on purpose because he thrives in hateful chaotic environments.... he himself being a mentally ill person. he set this tone thinking it to be his best way forward. he could easily change the tone of the whole country in a single speech or series of tweets over a few days.

no democrat has the power to reset things in the same way. the ball is completely in trumps court.

How do you manage to completely miss the point pretty much every single time.

When Trump gets killed BEFORE November 5th then JD Vance doesn't just automatically become president. I'm talking about what's gonna happen before the elections and you're bringing up rules what happens when a president dies. God damnit it's painful to even have to respond to this shit.

Yes that is a good point. I know the democrats have repeatedly come out and spoken out against violence.. so while they use similar rhetoric (ruiner of the country, destroyer of democracy etc.), at least they specifically say STOP VIOLENCE and call it out.

Trump still accepts no responsibility for Jan 6 either.

Let's be clear here, are you claiming that the rhetoric from Dems lead to this or more nefariously that Democrats are actively behind the assassination attempts?

Newsweek says this is not true.

BlackRock, a repeat subject of conspiratorial theories, recently pledged financial support to Ukraine joining a group of investors committing $15 billion to the country's reconstruction, as reported by Quartz.

However, BlackRock did not produce the video featuring Routh.

Newsweek reached out to a BlackRock media representative via email for comment.

The video was created in 2022, publicizing protesters demanding the safe evacuation of Ukrainian soldiers defending the besieged Avovstal Iron and Steel Works in Mariupol.

The Associated Press photographed Routh at the protest in Kyiv's Independence Square on April 30, 2022. Other outlets covering the event also photographed Routh.


While it does appear that Ryan Routh is in the video, it is not an ad for BlackRock. It is footage from a protest in April 2022, held in Kyiv's Independence Square, where the relatives of the Ukrainian military demanded the safe return of their families from besieged Avovstal Iron and Steel Works in Mariupol.

Fact Check: Was Trump suspect Ryan Routh in BlackRock ad?

Social media users said Ryan Routh, arrested in an apparent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, was in a BlackRock ad

I was hopeful after the 1st attempt, but it's not gonna happen. Trump can't help himself, and the democrats are literally trying to get Trump killed and they're not even hiding it anymore.

I’m not responsible for shit except calling attention to Trump’s authoritarian, corrupt, and criminal actions.

 

[SKYNET]

lol. You continue to play your role as one of our resident assholes.

Again feel free to address what I actually said. Or be you. We know which door you’ll choose.

lol You continue to represent yourself accurately as a coward.

Again answer my Yes or No question and I will play your game. We all know the cowards route here.

They're actively behind creating the media/political climate that's radicalizing people.

I have no clue who are behind the assassination attempts themselves. Of course it's likely some of the three letter agencies are somehow involved but it's not like we're ever gonna be able to prove that.
