Donald Trump Assassination Attempt

[wildcat09 28,539]

Aw damnit, did Icono post some lunacy and I missed it?

[Captainant 26,913]

It's pretty funny how quickly a criminally fraudulent child rapist picks up votes by getting shot at by his own party. Bunch of useful idiots, overly excited to vote for a rapist AGAIN to make their daughters proud

Gee, I wonder what the rest of the context is for that quote that is suspiciously limited to 4 seconds. But yes, this is a result of Trump's rhetoric and call for violence. Turns out, when you call for violence, you don't just get it from your side (although this one may in fact be an own goal of sorts). 

Since you are wondering about it, I think his next line was something like “and that’s a fact”.

Maybe icono was the real shooter? The other guy was just a decoy.

Since you have it, pull up the whole video. It wasn't a call for violence at all. It was a 2015 video about Trump's takeover of the GOP and that the GOP donors weren't going to be able to stop him.

Quote

 

HAYES: Here`s why I think -- I would agree with that. Let me say, here`s what I would say is my position if I`m say a big sort of GOP donor class member, if I`m in the vaunted Republican establishment. I am psyched about Carson`s rise, because here`s what it makes me think -- in 2012, we got the chart of the primary leader that happened in that summer before the 2011 where everyone sort of gets a turn, right? Those were truncated short cycles, four, six, eight weeks and eventually went into Romney. Carson`s rise at the expense of Trump makes me think hopefully, again, if I`m a donor class establishment Republican, the same thing`s happening here just on a longer time scale. Does that scan to you?

WILSON: Somewhat but here`s the thing. But here`s the thing -- Trump is still a powerful force right now and still holding a lot of the part of the base that is very activated by his message, the nativist message that`s got a fraction of the base energized. The donor class can`t just sit back on the sidelines and say, oh, well, don`t worry, this will work itself out. They`re still going to have to go out and put a bullet in Donald Trump. And that`s a fact. They`re still going to eventually have to figure out ways to find candidates that are going to be of the caliber and the quality level to post up against Hillary Clinton because right now, I will tell you, no matter who you support or how much you like them, neither Donald Trump or Ben Carson is ready to go up against the Clinton machine. And that`s not saying that Jeb Bush is, or Cruz or Marco or anybody else is either.

Things like this change the course of history.  Does Trump emerge a sympathetic person to some voters?

Does this affect him mentally?

Does this limit future rallies?

Trump may go the George Wallace path, see the error of his ways, and turn a new positive leaf to the betterment of society…

[Captainant 26,913]

So this registered Republican gunman was 12 years old for Trump's inauguration, graduated high school two years ago, and now got his head hollowed out by SS wearing guntuber merch. 

Seems like the ideal Republican voter

[wildcat09 28,539]

These rallies are basically the only joy Trump gets in his life. Now he’s got to be terrified of his own supporters taking shots at him at every future rally to try to accelerate the civil war he’s been stoking. That’s truly a shame.

I do find it interesting Trump didn’t get in front of a camera again the rest of the day for some defiant statement. He might’ve been too busy shitting himself.

Wiping himself off. He crapped his pants while he was curled up in a ball on stage.

I am sure he's quite conflicted about future public appearances and doing prison time.  I'm here for it.

Thanks. It pretty clear he says to put a bullet in Trump to stop him. You can’t sit on the sideline and think he goes away No? 
 

He also says a bunch of non-facts like Trump can’t be Carson or Clinton. What an idiot.

How would you characterize God’s disposition toward the innocent bystander who had his brains blown out by a bullet ostensibly intended for Trump?

[maga]The guy probably prayed to God that he would do anything including die to help Trump get elected and save us from the godless libruls. His prayer was answered.[\maga]

That's what I'm thinking.  Trump is not a particularly courageous man.  

Can't see him doing any more rallies.  Hopefully he'll campaign from his basement in Mar a Lago. 

(sidenote: the water table is too high for a basement.  just kidding about that part)

"State voter records show that Crooks was a registered Republican. The upcoming Nov. 5 election would have been the first time Crooks had been old enough to vote in a presidential race.

 

...

When Crooks was 17 he made a $15 donation to ActBlue, a political action committee that raises money for left-leaning and Democratic politicians, according to a 2021 Federal Election Commission filing. The donation was earmarked for the Progressive Turnout Project, a national group that rallies Democrats to vote."

How does one even register as a “Democrat” or “Republican?”  I’ve never filled out such a registration form.

This would have been his first year to vote in a presidential election. He probably voted in a local race when he was 18 or 19 and got registered that way.

So it’s how you vote in a primary?  I’ve voted in plenty of Democrat primaries so I could have a say in local elections where there is no Republican opponent which is almost always the case in south Texas.  Guess that makes me a Democrat.

I don’t think much can be taken away from the shooter either being registered as a republican or making a donation to a liberal PAC. I do find it odd that there isn’t more information out there on him yet or available on social media, however.

The hearing with secret service should be interesting. I’d like to know how the easiest and best shooting position towards the stage was allowed to be completely open to a man with a rifle and even with warning and advanced notification they didn’t take the shooter down before the shots.

I’m sure they’ll talk about all their “brave” agents that saved Trump’s life, yada, yada, yada. This was a major, major fuck up by them.

I have deleted dozens of posts in this thread.

Any openly inflammatory or posts clearly inviting or praising additional violence will be deleted. 

Likewise any posts glorifying or elevating this event will be deleted. 

This thread is for discussion about the event and what happens because of it. It's not to rile people up. 

Some of you need to get a real grip on reality.

If I’m them, I don’t meet with the public until I’ve gone back through the entire security plan and diagnosed the issue(s). The head of secret service pushing for diversity hires in an interview I’m sure will be questioned and is going to be a distraction, and all of this of course leaves a lot of room for conspiracy theories.  

We are literally a slight head turn away from the end of our nation as we know it. I think that’s something everyone should be really concerned about. I hope they triple down on security for both candidates going forward.
