I can only imagine the tears of outrage and 'momentousness' some of his worshipers felt on seeing this visceral bloodsmear on the ear. A cult figure with galvanized followers is more dangerous than a cult leader whose followers are growing weary/growing up (not that they were showing signs of growing up, im just saying this certainly will make that less likely) Sometimes people do snap out of their fantasy-lands every once in a while.

p.s. oops is there a way to edit my post... i think i used the word visceral incorrectly(or just syntactically misplaced it in the sentence) im used to discord and post-editing my responses, but i guess ill remember to double-check before posting here and make sure my ducks are all in a row if a post can't be edited.


NEVERMIND i see where to do it! ... but now that i see how to do it...im wondering.... is visceral, though seemingly incorrect.... somehow what i meant to say after all?! :p whatever ill just leave it... okay back on topic... fuck trump. i mean all these world leaders must condemn attacks on elected officials.... but when you are or were an elected official who fomented violence; i don't feel bad if violence comes your way, you essentially reaped what you sowed.
It's like when the bully gets the shit kicked out of him by the kid he's been tormenting for years. its sweet delectable vengeance


or maybe he was an accelerationist
-Rugoz
What i find interesting about this possibility is that if he were such a thing, which he could very well be, with todays befuddled hodgepodge of ideological convictions, it would be difficult to know if he was accelerating for the Republicans, for the Democrats, or for neither!

Since Corey Comperatore was shot and killed by a now deceased gunman during Donald Trump's Butler, Pennsylvania rally Saturday, the former fire chief's family has yet to hear from the ex-president, according to his wife, Helen Comperatore.

Helen told the Post that President Joe Biden tried to call her, but she declined to speak to him since her husband 'was a devout Republican, and he would not have wanted me to talk to him.'

They like the abuse, end of the day. They want the boot.

Trump has a ceiling of support he can't break. At best this galvinizes the base, but they're pretty motivated. Maybe some Haley supporters decide to vote for him rather thsn staying home, at best. The Vance decision is him doubling down on an administration of incompetent yes men. I'd vote for a sack of dog shit fifty times over before Trump.


Vance is a weird choice? Does he want him to play the even more crazier person?
#15320203
Vance supports a total national abortion ban, even for rape and incest. He's pro-Russia. He has explicitly said he would have decertified the 2020 election. He's a standard bearer for the cultural right and has extensive links with Silicon Valley through Rockbridge. It's not a unity candidate, by any stretch. He's a yes-man for Trump, and indicative of a new administration that will value loyalty to the cult of personality above all.
#15320205
Yeah, also Vance said he would have played along with the election fiasco in 2020 (unlike Pence).

The only electoral advantage Trump may get by naming him is that Vance could help him with some of the Midwestern states (those at the east of the Midwest). He's a drag everywhere else.

Despite the conspiracy theories, Max R Smith, a former classmate of Crooks, has said that he was “definitely” a conservative.

If this turns out to be some terminally online Q guy that is acting out over the Epstein document dump that names Trump... the irony...

Yet the MAGA crowd is still promoting conspiracy theories about this somehow being "the Left" or Joe Biden. This is the problem with the popularization of conspiracy theories: truth just doesn't matter anymore and they get to just create whatever narrative they want.
#15320226
I love how he emerged after breaking the blood ampoule, and then was allowed to flash a triumphant fist at the TV audience.

If he doesn't win the presidency, he should at least be given an Oscar for "best presidential campaign event."

If Americans continue voting for TV episodes.... China and Russia will continue to be non-bankrupt.

No one is surprised about the attempt. In fact, some might be wondering, "Why only now? Or why did the shooter have to be someone so inexperienced?"


That's the thing . Trump is lacking in subtlety . He speaks intemperately about becoming a dictator , and persecuting the so called radical left antifa , and then his minions in the Republican party act all shocked when not only is he made out to be a fascist who is a danger to democracy , but that someone would take it upon himself to preemptively take direct action to eliminate the threat posed to our rights , and even our very lives , by a second Trump administration . The only people who wouldn't be at least tempted to resort to such a drastic deadly measure , would be pacificists , such as myself . But for anyone else , they might follow the example of Georg Elser , whom attempted to assassinate Adolf Hitler early on . Had he been successful , the Holocaust and World War II might not have happened , but then also those I like to refer to as lily liver liberals , with their genteel sensibilities , would have been deriding Elser as being an example of the looming red menace , which Hitler was setting out to thwart . Then the western powers would ally with Germany , in the Anti-Comintern Pact , which would exemplify the liberal fascist bargain . This is what I imagine would have likely happened in an alternate historical timeline . But in this timeline , key Republican figures have been blaming the rhetoric of Democrats for inciting the attempted assassination of their dear leader , Donald Trump . https://www.nbcnews.com/now/video/several-republican-lawmakers-blame-democrats-rhetoric-for-trump-assassination-attempt-214827589785 This is a difference between Canada , the true north , strong and free , with its more strict gun control measures , and the U.S.A. , where the right to bear arms is extensive , while the right to free speech may be more restrictive . Like , if Aselin Debison had been American , and still covered the song " Moonlight Shadow" , she might have faced expulsion from school , and her album carry a parental advisory label , I am afraid. https://www.wptv.com/news/local-news/investigations/more-florida-kids-are-threatening-to-shoot-on-campus-and-theyre-paying-the-price-for-it , https://www.americanbar.org/groups/crsj/publications/human_rights_magazine_home/human_rights_vol32_2005/fall2005/hr_Fall05_humanrightsstudents/
If not back then , then now , if the repressive Republicans were to prevail , guns might have more rights than humans .

The American voting public is so brain-dead that subtlety is a guarantee of not being nominated.

Trump ordered the assasination of Soleimani while he was the president.

And as of this year, he is allowed - by USA law - to order more assasinations of he is re-elected prez.

Trump Lawyer Argues President Can Order Assassinations

What a banana republic the USA has become. MK Ultra forever.
#15320235
The whole "Trump is a dictator" arc is complete and utter nonsense. The guy was already president for four years. Did the USA become a dictatorship ? No, not even remotely. Trump didnt even try in any way. There is no good reason to assume he would do it this time around either.

And its gaslighting. The same people who shout at the top of their lungs that Trump is a fashist happily do fashist things themselves. Like the extremely close cooperation between social media companies and the government, as the Twitter files showed. They really just want to distract from what they themselves are doing.

And Jan 6, as I've explained before, was a bloody obvious backup. When BLM protested, they had hundreds of soldiers defending the capitol. Everyone knew that Jan 6 would happen, but they had like a douzen policemen and theres even videos how these policemen simply opened the door for the protesters, actively inviting them in. The protesters themselves have been unarmed and without a plan.

And yes there was a small group of about 300 violent protesters. Its called agent provocateur and its a very popular trick for the police. None of these people seem to even have gotten arrested either. Its the harmless protesters who got the penalties.

I guess it depends on your definition of "dictator". The first dictionary I found says:

1. a ruler with total power over a country, typically one who has obtained control by force.

Well, he tried that. People died, but it didn't work out for him.

Or

2. a person who behaves in an autocratic way.

I think that's a given. If he doesn't get the votes, he's going to be fun to watch, because this time, the rest of his party will support him in all their frothing fury.
#15320242

Except for the fact that he says he is going to this time around. It doesn't get much clearer than that.

I'm not saying he will be an enduring, effective or cunning dictator, but that he idolizes dictators and wishes to emulate them should be cause for concern to any rational human
#15320244
Modern dictators are rarely cunning. So many devious ways for autocrats to control our lives - only the dullest rely on brute military force. The most powerful and most cunning dictators these days are found in board rooms, not public office, and most won't even know their name, much less face.

I'm currently reading How Civil Wars Start by American author Barbara Walter and there are multiple chapters discussing the rise of militias and the backsliding of institutions in the US that are moving the country closer to war. Interestingly the author hasn't mentioned the possibility of right wing politicians being assassinated but has focused on Democrat governors being killed by right wing militias.

In any case I found it hilarious that the gunman was spotted in advance but no one intervened because of the open carry laws in Pennsylvania.
#15320261
I don't think it was an assassination attempt.

Suicide by cop.

It was as if he was aiming to miss and he was such a shit shot he almost killed Trump by accident.

Recall a right wing group tried to kidnap the governor of Michigan. That part is still happening for sure.

@JohnRawls, Vance is a weaselly boot licker. Trump can put a leash on him, hence why Trump picked him.


Vance is cut of the same cloths as many of the pofo Trump dick suckers.
