USA Political Thread 2024

I love how the news networks are running "No motive found for Trump shooting."

Since when does a young, white, American male with an AR-15 need a motive for killing a bunch of people?

Have heard that it was not a bullet that grazed trumps ear but a piece of glass from the teleprompter that was hit. I would tend to believe it was a piece of glass that cut him. Chances of a bullet hitting his ear pretty slim I think and I’m sure it would have tore half his ear off if that was the case.

The TelePromptTer theory was disproved. The is a photo showing both of them intact after the shooting stopped.

The stupidity right now…

Apparently it’s Jill Biden’s fault.
Secret Service was shorthanded because she went somewhere and required a bunch of agents. Ignores the fact that she already has a specific detail…

There’s a 4chan fake post going viral that implies Biden’s secret service director would not let the agents take action. As if the director is on the phone with every agent at all times?

Others saying an AR15 would have taken Trump’s head off just by grazing his ear. Like just fuck off and shut up.

Seems like you are justifying the assasination attempt? and if you dont see this event wrong your hate is way above than anything else. Voilence ordered by Obama is nowhere near but he is considered saint, the secret is dont go against establishment, if someone dare to go will be humiliated, convicted, hated, abused, many ladies will come forward for sex chargers and may be eventually killed, we have seen many patterns .Practice what you preach.

I think you heard of sarcasm before?
Look at Bin Laden, was his death justified?

The limp wrist soy boy couldn't handle the recoil and choked on the shot.

223 recoil? Not a chance. The reason is that the type of gun used isn’t really good for 200 yd sniper shot in untrained hands. He probably was shaking like a leaf and had inadequate optics and was using cheap ammunition. There could have been a 10 mile an hour crosswind which is barely perceptible that would put the bullet off target by an easy 6”. And to say that this could have been set up to boost his ratings in the polls is absolute nonsense, Trump take that risk of a bullet “ don’t worry we are just going to clip the top or your ear from 200 yds while you are standing there bobbing your head around “ Yeah right. And no it wouldn’t tear half of his ear off, it would go through like a hole punch, not enough thickness to mushroom the bullet even if it was a soft point

Somethings off with this assasination attempt.
1. No one else was hurt that we know of by any bullets. Yet it sounds like several bullets were fired?
2. Several shots are heard. Were they the assassins shots or Secret Service taking the assassin out?
3. Trump moves his head to look at the teleprompter?? Only his ear gets winged. It is on Trumps right side.
4. Trump when he raises his right hand, does it look like it has blood on it. What is on Trumps left side as he gets up.
5. Are the guys that cover Trump up, secret service or his own bodyguards?
6. Trump has red marks on his face, does it pool like blood? Is blood that red, or is it duller? Why is the red so wide, yet it appears to be dry after a few seconds, no smears, just 2 streaks on Trumps cheek. And the path is still a bright red.
7. What stopped the bleeding from his ear? Bandage, some glue? It would appear to be lots of blood due to the thickness of the red on his cheeks, and red on the shirt.
8. Where did the assassins bullets go to? Trajectory of the bullets from the assassins place?
9. Where is the widescreen area of the events, what is off to the right of the screen, that you can't see.
10 Position of shooter (right or left of screen), so bullets go in opposite directions. Can't tell. But if the bullet came from the left, we can't see the right side of screen. If the bullet came from the right side, the people to the left should of been affected. Need to know which side the bullet came from.
11. Why wasn't the building the assassin was on secured? Where was security? Who didn't do their job to ensure no direct shots were coming from top of building around the rally?
12. Why did Trumps people jump all over him? Best results are to move a target, less likely to hit a moving target.
13. If the shots came from above, why are the 2 tactical guys just scanning the crowd (looking down). But no one is looking up; for other shooters. If you are working in pairs, one looks down and the other up. By the time those shooters get out front the threat is eliminated, no more shots are heard, and the team around Trump get him up. Stand for the photo shot, and then allow him to raise his hand, and then start to move him away to the right of the screen.
14 An AR-15 was found. An AR-15 bullet will have significant impact on a solid target. An ear not so much.
15. Need to watch the crowd in background when the bullet is suppose to have gone through the scene. Does anyone jump or looks shocked, a head jerk or 2??
I need to see more video coverage. Have to wait for the FBI investigation.

Don’t know what news feed you read but. One man dead and two more in critical and sound like a couple of minor wounds from what I’ve read

Corey Comperatore

 

[BobbyMcgee]

smells fishy AF..... Wouldnt put it past trumps team to have staged this to jus boost his standing... Make him look indestructible while biden looks dead

Republicans already blaming Dems and crying foul yet when republican supporters raided the senate, with weapons, it was just good citizens standing up for the lies they were being fed

Unfortunately this is gonna be his golden ticket back into office

WHAT???
Corey Comperatore and two others in critical.
Staged or bad aim is a knee jerk narrow minded take on what would have been a very serious murder trial.

 

[80watts]

The one I've seen so far, didn't elaborate about any one being killed or wounded, just the attempt on Trumps life, hence the last line about watching video coverage...

 

[Larry's Torch]

“I want to try to unite our country,” he said aboard his private jet en route to Milwaukee. “But I don’t know if that’s possible. People are very divided.”

Hmmm, wonder how that happened.

“I had all prepared an extremely tough speech, really good, all about the corrupt, horrible administration,” he told The Post in reference to the Biden White House. “But I threw it away.”

Oh yeah, right.

In the 4 years he was President, everybody had a job and was flipping jobs left and right. Bonus for staying 90 days were easily found. I live in USA, the job market has completely flipped and I live in one of the most prosperous cities down here. Canada people don't have a clue how good it was. No matter the job skill it was Disneyland for 4 years looking for work. Now even a parking lot attendant has dozen of candidates, I know of one person for a shuttle airport service and for a graveyard job she had a stack of apps a couple of inches long. Every Sat Sun grave, does that sound like an appealing job to you at 19.50 an hour? Well to people down here now it's better than starving.
There was also a whole lot less worry if you can feed yourself without a credit card debt from it.

All I heard from the losing side was Russia Russia and how racist you were and everyone around you for 4 years.

haha, yes, Trump was responsible for all that, immediately, from the start of his inauguration

the idiots from his side were also saying unemployment during Obama was 50%

so the last part of 2020 was great?

https://www.bls.gov/charts/employment-situation/civilian-unemployment-rate.htm

so this is misinformation? a U.S. gov't stat?

facts say you're wrong, it wasn't much different, unemployment was already falling when he came in, just like it did after covid for Biden

Biden isn't the greatest, but economically, he's done some good things, no one says it, listens about it, cares

cause it's not about facts anymore, it's "feelings" Trump/Biden, same shit, different pile

he spent more time golfing than anything else

but the bottomline is he's all hat no cattle

he's just like the Turd, a cardboard cutout

In the storm-lashed village of Dunsmouth, Captain Jack O'Malley, aged seventy-five, defied his failing heart for one last dive. With a crew of loyal souls, they plunged into the North Atlantic's depths in search of a sunken treasure ship. Battling icy currents and darkness, they unearthed a chest adorned with gold and jewels—a testament to Jack's lifelong quest. As they surfaced amidst calming seas, Jack knew his time at sea was done. He watched the sunset over Dunsmouth, content in the triumph of a life spent chasing dreams beneath the waves.

pretty early in the morning to be smoking that stuff there 'new member'

Not sure why there are so many dummies that forget there was a thing called COVID that had much of the country shuttered and many jobs were lost as a result. It's not because of economic policies, just like "creating 15 million jobs" afterward wasn't because of policy but because of lockdowns ending and people returning to work. Like, I knew coming to this thread after the pop shot was taken would be bad, but Jesus that's some dense shit right there.

 

[westwoody]

Before he was elected Trump often criticized Obama for golfing. And then Trump said if he was president he would be too busy running the country to golf.
How much money did Mar a Lardo bring in from all those golf trips and room and board for Trump’s entourage?

How many times did President Donald Trump played golf while in office? (thegolfnewsnet.com)

How many times did President Barack Obama play golf while in office? (thegolfnewsnet.com)

Obama in office for 8 years.

Yeah, and instead of actually addressing the problem, the big dummy implied it was some democratic hoax, that it would all just go away on its own, and completely failed to have much of any federal response to it at all. Literally anyone could've handled it better than Trump did. And if he even pretended to be halfway competent, he could've easily won a second term to oversee the recovery (assuming he would've actually changed his course and did anything to help recover the economy).

But nope, he completely fumbled the bag and lost pretty much all confidence in his ability to act presidential, and got kicked out with one of the worst economic numbers of any president in recorded history. So yeah, this is all stuff he had under his control that he screwed up miserably.

ppl in the crowd pointed out the shooter on the roof before shooting happened... What did the cops do.. Nothin... 1 officer went to roof and ran away when the shooter apparently aimed their gun at him (if this was a black person, would they not have been afraid to shoot)

Why did the secret service snipers have their guns trained on the threat but did nothing until after the 1st shots were made

Secret service had 4 sniper teams in place.. How did a single team not pick up a pending threat laying
200yards away from the stage trunp was on

As for the right wing media.... Its was an act of God that saved trump... So I guess according to their God, God doesn't care about hundreds of innocent children murdered in school shootings

There was no act of God.. Was trunp saved by a gust of wind that could've shot the shot off trajectory or was he lucky by turning his head at the right time and the shooter being unexperienced in long distance shooting


Sooo many questions that will never find any truth too sadly
