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

[cincymma79]

Yup, this IS the mainstream left. I bet around 35-40% of the US actually really think Trump is a threat to their country and an evil orange rapist.

While this is pearl clutching at its finest. I’m going to allow for it since they’ve been bleeding out their vagina for similar rhetoric

 

[BoxingFan653]

The shooter was "right wing" yet everybody on the far left is openly supporting what he tried to do?

This pathetically desperate attempt to deflect responsibility fools absolutely nobody with even a halfway functioning mind. Nobody who isn't already "woke" will look at this and be like, "The shooter was a Republican? Well that makes the assassination attempt perfectly okay, then."

He just registered republican...pretty sure a conservative didnt try to kill Trump dude. There's a video clip of the guy saying he hates republicans and he hates Trump

 

[Scerpi]

Clearly the location was accounted for, the sniper on duty returned fire and killed him within 15 seconds. They had over watch of the building, but prior to him opening fire he was hiding on the opposite gradient of the roof and was obstructed.

lol... Are you covering for the Secret Service?

That was the joke. I know I know, sarcasm doesn't always translate well on the ol' interwebz.

 

[USA!USA!]

Yup, this IS the mainstream left. I bet around 35-40% of the US actually really think Trump is a threat to their country and an evil orange rapist.

"Millions of illegal aliens have stormed across our borders, it is an invasion, like a military invasion. Our rights and liberties are being torn to shreds,” he said. “Your country is being turned into a third-world hellhole, run by censors, perverts, criminals and thugs."

“As long as Joe Biden is in the White House, the American Dream is dead.”

“Joe Biden is not the defender of American democracy, Joe Biden is the destroyer of American democracy.”

All Trump quotes.

Both sides are doing the exact same thing, it isn't uniquely the democrats.

He donated $15 to a left org; could have been for any number of reasons - abortion, anti-Trump, oddly may have even been anti-gun.

My point is that you can't just label it as "them". And I do agree that he was probably just nuts and that it was to be expected. You can't call the other guy Hitler and not realize that some nut will tr something - much like claiming an election was rigged and then feigning shock that someone died trying to overturn the results.

Yet the left tried to pin Jan 6 on Trump. He never told them to breach the Capital. They were fed up over how the elections went down. Plus we just came outta Covid so emotions were high.

 

[Why did you]

There is one reality from political point how voters might react....
A. TRUMP died....Republicans nominee next candidate and voters elect him as POTUS and HERE are elections for Senate and for House too.
B. TRUMP alive and now more popular : again very bad stuff for dems in reality. At least some chances they does have unlike if TRUMP had died. Then Republicans get next candidate and more votes for Congress and Senate too, not only for POTUS elections.

What i realized billions of war related funds depend on the next president, so maybe ,some groups would prefer a president who would continue to approve these funds, Trump does nt seem to be that kind of candidate?

Oh it is? Telling your supporters to physically assault other people is mild?Interesting.
And how would you assess Trump’s advisor Roger Stone saying, “fuck the voting, let’s get right to the violence”—that’s said at the :38 second mark in the video below—and “fuck the voting, shoot to kill”? Is that mild as well?



What about Trump supporters chanting “Hang Mike Pence”? Is that likewise mild?

We’re not talking about Roger Stone, and i think his rhetoric in that regard is gross.

Trump has not told anyone to physically assault anyone. I’m not even going to do the “whataboutism” but there are plenty of Democrats, your president included, who have specifically endorsed and alluded to their want and request for physical violence.

You hate this guy so much, whether just or unjust, that you have to manipulate and mischaracterize the things he says to further enrage yourself. Not healthy. Plenty of politicians, Roger Stone included, that I don’t like or even greatly dislike, but I don’t have to wishfully manipulate their rhetoric to make them fit into a box so i can hate them more.

Even now, it’s not policy or action you’re focused on; it’s simply “this fucking guy is an evil dictator fascist”. Fine. If that’s how you feel its how you feel, but there’s very little separating you and the QAnon dorks wanting to hang Mike Pence.

There probably should have been agents/officers on that roof anyway.

There is no probably about it. A high school senior with no training could have set up a more secure perimeter. Oh look, a building with a line of sight on the stage, shouldn't we put a sniper on top of that building? The more I think about this the more trouble I have accepting its "gross negligence" or "incompetence." A freaking high school gamer kid could have done better.

That was the joke. I know I know, sarcasm doesn't always translate well on the ol' interwebz.

You may be but plenty of leftists claiming he's a conservative. It's like if a republican wanted to do a mass shooting but registered democrat right before to play it off. This guy did the same thing. He's not a conservative but apparently he knew the left was dumb enough to pretend he is since he registered as such.

It's hard to find the clip on youtube but its all over instagram in which he introduces himself and says he hates republicans and hates Trump and also claims he's not the guy behind it before it happens. It's like impossible to find the clip all of a sudden.

 

[Strychnine]

No bob, they didn't.

I could ask you to show proof of any major democratic politician calling for this type of violence. But we all know you'd just welch.

This was in a CHURCH.

lol... Are you covering for the Secret Service?

Yeah, the greater failure seems to be on local police responsible for screening the area and not engaging with the suspect when they located him, giving him a chance to fire.

The Secret Service eliminated the threat within 15 seconds and had thrown themselves on top of Trump faster than that. I would say the Secret Service are the main reason Trump is still alive.

 

[Mask Of Winters]

Here's what I'm getting out of all this so far.

1. All the people who threw a hissyfit about Elon buying Twitter because they hated free speech that much are now suddenly huge fans of it.

2. Trump had it coming.

3. This should be treated as no big deal because hey, both sides are just as evil.

4. The Secret Service doesn't think they did anything wrong after taking all of ten minutes to thoroughly investigate themselves.

5. Trump is a Nazi according to the people currently engaging in more organized and concerted Jew hate than ever in American history.

6. The shooting was staged. The proof is that Trump didn't actually die.

7. Trump staged this to get more votes.

8. It's perfectly fine for one political side to openly root for violence and people's deaths since they're tolerant, inclusive, and against hate.

That about cover it?

So glad I am moving to Europe within the next two years

 

[nostradumbass]

Wow, this guy was a fire chief. What a fucking idiot. LOL. Got a feeling there will be lots of similar examples.

Lol "this is not ok and shouldn't be condoned except when I do it. I just assumed that everyone would applaud me for publicly posting my murder fantasies".

Yeah, you dumb motherfucker, if your job is saving people from fires, maybe don't post about who you want murdered, especially after another fire fighter just had his head blown off.

Notice the contrast. Trump actually gets shot and popped up and pumped his fist, this pussy starts crying like a bitch about how scared he is over some random internet comment.

Listen, if you have a guy peeling people's wigs back from a location, its not "accounted for."

EUROPE?!?!

You mean, that place that's ten times worse than current America where you'll have even less rights and will likely be the victim of legalized violent crime from members of a certain religion? That Europe?

Come on man. Clearly it was not. That entire area should've been locked down and nobody allowed to enter during the speech. The shooter should have never had the opportunity to enter that property.
