Trump assassination attempt

[tippy2k2]

My brain understands why Democrats are wishing Trump a speedy recovery but I do find it funny that Trump is basically the next Hitler who plans to take away Democracy as we know it and strip everyone of their rights but they all wish a speedy recovery...

EDIT:
Also to be clear with what I said above, this isn't just about Democrat politicians. I see plenty of the big name VBNMW Twitter accounts decrying this as something bad when 24 hours ago they were talking about how we have to make sure Trump doesn't get into office because he'll literally destroy the country if he does.

Former and soon to be former US presidents have a vested interest to not want former US presidents offed. EDIT: I mean, they aren't the only ones talking like that, but in their case, extra personal reasons.

Did a CPAC Banner Say, 'We Are All Domestic Terrorists'?

Another banner at the same conservative conference warned, "You're Next: The Rise of the Democrat Gulag."

I'm just going to save this, because this is poetry and I don't want to forget it.

I mean, the only sliver of chance they have at this point is for him to go out there and make some catastrophic mistake that will sunk his chance (not sure what that would be tbh). At this point Trump could just say that campaigning is too dangerous for him and he could bunker up until November and he'd easily win.

Saying otherwise is electoral suicide.

Political violence isn't acceptable in America...

...unless it's against black, brown, or LGBTQIA+ people wanting equal rights, or at the very least, not to be summarily executed by a cop in the street...

...or community organizers/activists leaning anywhere to the left of Genghis Khan...

...or homeless or desperately poor...

...or an immigrant not from "respectable" (read, predominantly white) countries...

...or anti-Zionist Jews; actually, practicing non-Christians in general...

...really, anyone who isn't a social, political, or economic elite. But like 90% of the test to determine against whom political violence is acceptable is the paper bag test.

Geriatric Dixiecrat bastard wants to wag his finger at people drawing iron at the guy the center and center-right demonized for nearly a decade straight, because he mildly inconvenienced the neocon/neolib camarilla that runs DC and the oligarchs that fund it. Every single person on Earth knows he'd have the drones circling like vultures and the CIA crawling through the sewers to murk a black or brown person anywhere else on the planet, if they in the process of being legitimately elected decided their country doesn't exist to serve US global hegemony.

There's one differences between now and when Sarah Palin and Sharron Angle were on cable news in prime time talking about "second amendment solutions" and like nonsense, and putting on their Surprised Pikachu Faces when someone took their bullshit to heart. The Palins and Angles this time represent the other cheek of the same ass.

Oligarchs were not the only ones "mildly inconvenienced" by Trump. Everything you're criticizing Biden for, Trump is guilty of to an equal or even greater extent.

Never mind that the shooter is a registered republican who had access to guns thanks to republicans repeatedly shooting down gun law reforms.

Tell that to the Republicans (including Trump) who mocked Pelosi's husband after he got brained by someone breaking in looking for her...

Also to be clear with what I said above (maybe I'll throw an edit in), this isn't just about Democrat politicians. I see plenty of the big name VBNMW Twitter accounts decrying this as something bad when 24 hours ago they were talking about how we have to make sure Trump doesn't get into office because he'll literally destroy the country if he does.

Yes but also no according to the BBC.

Registered? yes, believing in them? well seems odd to donate to the "far left" Act Blue PAC

The former president makes his first public appearance since the attempted assassination, arriving with a bandaged ear to cheers and applause.

It's all about the PR and public image, for many on social media. Gotta pretend you care.
Meanwhile I've been sharing jokes, and remember I'm one of the members here who while not American I do tend to point out some of the stupid stuff being done against Trump and have people claim I'm not a liberal or whatever because I don't tow some party line.

Also probably doesn't help that certain charges round a certain "insurrection" were made against people for "inciting people to act" even in some cases when they stood outside or weren't even there. Don't want the potential of being done for inciting the assassination of a president now

I dunno maybe the left needs some lessons in shooting because I mean before Trump it was congressional Republicans, or has that been memory holed already?

Yeah, blame the guy who actually did his job and didn't try to take over the country, because he hated that the results weren't in his favor.

That's small a silver lining I'll take. It's one of their own and all of the Republicans hate each other any way.

Either on auto-pilot, or they're still under the impression this is still pre-Trump, pre-tea party America.

I wonder if we'll get conspiracies about the shooter actually being Trump's gay lover now too.

I recommend not reading too far into party affiliation either way. We are a closed primary state, he's from a quite red area, registering Democrat would take away most of his say in local politics.

Likewise with the donation, it could have been a bet, it could have been encouraged by family, there are more reasons than political loyalty that could explain that. We will likely know more about him than what is findable in public records soon enough.

New update.

The suspect may have had bombs in his car too

This is sounding like a fuckup to rival all previous fuckups by the security details. Multiple witnesses have stated they pointed the weird dude crawling on top of a roof with a rifle multiple minutes before he actually took his shots at Trump...

Biden's going to be out there wishing <randomly selected name> a speedy recovery.

I mean, there's a serious thought in my mind that the police and SS saw the shooter when it was pointed out and just went

until he actually shot, and then went to action.

Is Trump still defrauding them by forcing his secret service to pay for being on his properties? Because if so that could explain their inaction.

Well I can say with confidence this man has never played counter-strike.
