Crime Someone tried to assassinate Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania

[DoctorTaco]

Newsweek really jumped the shark

I remember when 5 years ago when only Vox and Vice were this bold.

The clickbait bullshit is terrible. The head of the fbi said he wasn’t sure if Trump was hit with a bullet or with shrapnel. That’s a far cry from “he might not of been shot” through a very technical bit of word play

EEEEEheeeheeeheeehee WTF indeed, so long, sucker. See you on your next shitty-arsed account.

Damn just saw that the Hammer claimed another...what'd he do?

 

[lifelessheap]

Shooter liked Biden. Liked Biden's border policy and lockdowns.

The account was barely over a year old. Why do return bans get banned again any other time?

 

[CantCucktheTuck]

oops there goes the narrative......

 

[Madmick]

Can anyone who knows about rifles tell if his gun had a scope on it? Some people said he never used a scope, but I couldn't find that reported anywhere in the media.

Looks like it does have one to me.

I never saw it reported that it had no scope. One of the gun-focused YouTube channels that dismissed the conspiracies about the whole incident being staged to make Trump popular mentioned he used a red dot optical with no magnification. That was posted in this thread. The video mocked the notion that anyone would trust even the greatest shooters in the world to just "graze the ear" on purpose with his gun and setup from that distance. It truly was an absurd CT.

Of course, 99% of CTs are for the dumbest among us.

To be fair that's a CT put on for folks who have and will probably never ever ever fire a gun in their lives, much less the trauma inducing AR, so if someone dangles the bait that Bad Orange Man did this for sympathy to an already hater with zero firearm experience...

And to show I'm not shitting on one side more than the other, the "multiple shooter/SS Director/deep state/one world govt was in on it to silence Trump" crowd with their multiple shooters/patsy/grassy knoll/agent theories are just as gullible for whatever fits their narrative.

Me, I seen enough in my time to boil it down to a straight govt shitshow of mismanagement

 

[K1levelgrappler]

Only in America could all those people get shot in the exact same spot like that. Many such cases of ear shootings

I think its clearly on very shakey ground indeed, Harris has never won the nomination in a public vote and I think we all know elections are mostly about the main candidate. If Harris were to win the election and then ran again in 2028 it would be 12 years since the public got a choice of democrat candidate.

I feel like the suppression of progressive politics by the democrats is the most significant threat to stability in the US, its what has given us Trump in the first place and will almost certainly give us more of the same in the future.

I agree with this completely. We had the choice for Bernie and we chose Barrabus instead.

Honestly don't give a fuck about the shooter.

There's probably multitudes of crazies on both sides who would take a shot at Biden, Kamala and Trump...

There's ongoing threats all the time.

This is a story of the complete failure of Secret Service... and that full story is yet to be told and we may never get to hear it since the FBI is conducting the investigation.

Agreed.

It did slightly annoy me how so many just assumed he was a right winger because he was a registered republican but they just ignore the fact he donated money to a left wing organisation.
It was always far more likely a lefty would register as a republican to vote in the primaries than it would be for a right winger to just give away money to a lefty organisation.

I think both sides should be able to understand that somebody willing to shoot at a presidential candidate doesn’t represent either side.

I know quite a lot of democrats who wish he had blown Trumps head off to be fair, I'd say at least 50% wish he had succeeded.

Definitely represents the "I'm upset he didn't have better aim waahhhhhh" crowd.

But conservative news isn't mainstream?

nah, how many viewers the right has is inconsequential because conservative voices have been nullified because all their talking points have been branded as either "evil, dumb, or crazy" and can "never be taken seriously".

so even if cnn has 8 viewers and are struggling to stay afloat, the messaging is identical across all leftist/establishment platforms and they all get the "A+, right side of history, news you can trust!" status.

the left owns it all....thank god for elon, it was getting pretty dark for a while especially during covid.

Sure, and I heard a bunch of folks chanting “hang Mike pence” on j6. Rhetoric is one thing, But I don’t think we should sit around playing “wabbit season/duck season” every time some nut job with a gun and agenda starts shooting people.

 

[king hippo]

I don't really need to if you think media is controlled by liberals.

It's retarded.

Fox news crushes viewership ratings by a lot and they have for like 15 years or more.

if it wasn't controlled by the left then how was the covid psy-op so successful even though half the country was either very skeptical or hostile to it?

you guys own it all because conservative voices carry little weight.

I think both sides should be able to understand that somebody willing to shoot at a presidential candidate doesn’t represent either side.

Except it apparently does represent a huge number of lefties. 30% admitted they wish he hadn't missed, and another 1/3 think it was staged.

Third of Democrats wish Donald Trump had been killed

A third of Democratic voters I surveyed in a snap poll on 18 July openly agreed with the statement “I wish Trump’s assassin hadn’t missed.” Looking beneath the numbers, the new moral absolutism of the progressive Left picks out which Democrats support assassination and which do not. The...

One in three Biden supporters think Trump shooting might have been staged

More than 33 percent of the president's supporters believe the conspiracy theory is "credible," according to a new poll.
