Missed again. Thank God.

Timing is suss.

Knowing people will be dissing you? Stage an assassination attempt

Numbers dropping? Stage an assassination attempt.

He is predictable that way.

The first time Trump attended the White House Correspondents’ Dinner was in 2011. Obama revealed his long-form birth certificate and embarrassed Trump.

The whole thing was a distraction from the raid on Osama bin Laden’s hideout in Pakistan. I’m surprised that Trump has never claimed he was in on the operation.

If this attack was staged, it has to be for a military objective. In the real world, nobody fakes an assassination attempt for political gain.

[Weyoun]

He’s been arguing that the ballroom is a military necessity, when of course it is not.

Very convenient!

[kroxquo]

Crazy thought. As far as I know right now, no motive for the attack has been released. What if the President was not the target? This is always one of the largest collection of journalists in a single place in Washington. What if the gunman's real intention was to eliminate as many of the "enemies of the people" as possible? Sorry. I'll go put my tin foil hat back on.

Except, perhaps, Vladimir Putin. According to sources vetted by European intelligence, Russia suggested an assassination attempt on Viktor Orban prior to the recent election to “fundamentally alter the entire paradigm of the election campaign”.

The shooter seems to have been aiming more for members of Trump's cabinet rather than the president himself.

The fact they believe these are "staged" is bad enough, but apparently they believe there are a plenty of liberal stooges willing to risk life and/or liberty for the "prank" ... just pathetic.

Another victim of TDS. Donald Trump was elected President by the majority of the American People. The majority of the people who live in this country wanted him to be where he is. He is doing what the majority of the people elected him to do. The majority of the American people DO NOT WANT what you people with TDS want. WHEN THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FACT????? WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO STOP ENCOURAGING THE MOST LUNATIC PEOPLE WHO LISTEN AND BELIEVE THE LIES YOU ARE SPREADING TO TRY AND MURDER TRUMP AND/OR HIS SUPPORTERS???????

I'm not going to defend this guy. He's a nut and he deserves whatever punishment he's going to get. Political violence is wrong, regardless of the target or motivation. But let's not pretend that this is all a matter of left-wing radicals who don't like Trump. Remember January 6? Remember Melissa Hortman in Minnesota?

Despite what Trump and his cronies would like you to believe, the political violence is much more prevalent on the right:

The Justice Department quietly removed from its website a study showing far-right extremists were responsible for the bulk of ideologically motivated deaths — a move that comes as the GOP seeks to back claims from President Trump that the “radical left” poses a greater danger than the right wing.

The 2024 study, in which several criminal justice researchers reviewed National Institute of Justice data, found far more instances of deaths credited to right-wing groups. “The number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism,” the study says. “Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives,” the study states. “In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.”

A study by the Cato Institute, a libertarian group, found that since 2020, right-wing extremists were responsible for more than half of all politically motivated deaths, 44, while left-wing extremists were responsible for 22 percent, a total of 18 deaths.

I don’t think it was staged.

It’s certainly more plausible to think that the Secret Service under Trump has further declined, and that they can’t manage any kind of security competently.

It does point away from the Biden Secret Service being predisposed to letting Trump die at Butler.

I also don’t think a ballroom is going to help if the people guarding it are idiots.

But the real giveaway is how others reacted. I would think Stephen Miller, if he knew it was some sort of fake, he would not have hid behind his pregnant wife, grabbing her tit to hold on for dear life. What a piece of shit.

Did you think I was defending this guy? Yelling at me makes no sense - I merely pointed out that the shooter may have been aiming at others, not the president.

I was thinking of another piece of shit.

When Paul Pelosi, who is not even a politician, was beaten up with that hammer, Donald Trump told jokes about it. When various celebrities, including Rob Reiner, again not a politician, have died, Donald Trump tells jokes about it.

When you think about it, given how much this guy goes around acting like a piece of shit to others, it’s amazing that more people don’t go after him.

Have the day that you wish for others, by the way, blackhole.

Nancy Pelosi, Rob Reiner and MANY MANY others have been using their bully pulpits to FALSELY and WITHOUT ANY FRICKIN EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER declare President Trump, his appointees and all his supporters Nazis, Descendants of Hitler, White Supremacist Racists and all kinds of other heinous epithets all day, every day, enflaming their already unbalanced base. This has led to Charlie Kirk's murder, Steve Scalise's shooting, Brett Kavanaugh's almost assassination and at least 4 attempts on Trump's life.

Yeah, Rob Reiner wasn't a politician. Neither are Bruce Springstein or Robert DeNiro. Tell me they are not pieces of shit. Tell me they have not used their celebrity to market disgusting allegations against the President, if not half the country. They have asked to have jokes made of them. Trump did not beat Paul Pelosi with a hammer or kill Rob Reiner. Take a look at who actually did. Doctor, you really need to concentrate on healing thyself....

There is "no evidence"? Why is it that when Trump uses the retort "low IQ," he's almost always directing it toward black people?

Just one example. If you are not lazy - I think you are in your current situation because on some level, you are - you can look that up and confirm it.

Anyway, since he does engage in that behavior, you can't say there is not "FRICKIN EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER" that he is not a "White Supremacist Racist."

Just a point of order. He's the president and he regularly says awful things about other people. So, it's no surprise that the circus that this country has become is out of control, since he's the ringleader.

[BackInTex]

He is not. It's just your racist tendencies project that onto his words. Racial bias on your side, perhaps.

Interesting that you say that. Certainly other people have stumbled onto the same conclusion:

https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/2 ... -obsession

The article does not have the full quote, but I would note, and this was a speech to the World Economic Forum, Trump said of Somalis, “I always say these are low-IQ people".

It’s certainly one thing to point out a certain person may be terrible. But if I said, for example, all people from Texas have fat mouths, and spout off things that aren’t backed up by facts, that would be a little bit bigoted, though not quite as loaded as saying something about Black people or another minority group. Do you understand that?

[flockofseagulls104]

There is "no evidence"? Why is it that when Trump uses the retort "low IQ," he's almost always directing it toward black people?

There is much more evidence that not only are YOU a racist (because that is apparently all you think about) and that YOU have a low IQ. You need to take a look and fix yourself before you allow yourself to judge other people.

In my initial quote, I used the phrase, “he almost always,” which implies that there are examples of him using the retort for other people. Nonetheless, he consistently applies it to Black people.

I’m not surprised that you didn’t pick up on that. Perhaps you need your IQ checked.

Actually, he applies it to people who are genuinely stupid.

I seem to recall Trump talking about how the Continental Army “took the airports” during a July 4, 2019th speech where he discussed the American Revolution.

The scary thing is, that diaper crapping monster has only gotten more idiotic and demented since then.
