Trump probably shot at a rally -- Still a jerk

To me it’s looking more and more likely that this wasn’t really politically motivated and more akin to a loser/loner who had been bullied his life was wanting to end his life by making a name for his self. Like most mass shooters. The shooter was trying to kill Trump and have a mass shooting all in one.

A lot of whys might make one think this was a coordinated effort coming days after Biden call for Trump to be put in the bullseye. Why was there a big old flag by Trump to be used as a wind speed/direction indicator? Why were short, female SS agents assign to protect a 6'4" male leaving his head exposed? Why did they take Trump to the side of the car that faces the crowd (allowing opportunity for follow up shots)? Why did the snipers on the roof behind Trump not get authorization to shoot when they had clearly seen the shooter? Why... Nah, just another coincidence.

lol. Mr I don’t care just added another inch to Trumps height. He’s got bigly hands and weighs 215lbs too.

Btw, earlier you referred to the repugs as half of America. Please, stop indulging them with this falsehood. Republicans account for about 32% of registered voters, not 50% of all 333.3 million Americans.

From Pew Research in April of this year:

The partisan identification of registered voters is now evenly split between the two major parties: 49% of registered voters are Democrats or lean to the Democratic Party, and a nearly identical share – 48% – are Republicans or lean to the Republican Party.

About two-thirds of registered voters identify as a partisan, and they are roughly evenly split between those who say they are Republicans (32% of voters) and those who say they are Democrats (33%). Roughly a third instead say they are independents or something else (35%), with most of these voters leaning toward one of the parties. Partisan leaners often share the same political views and behaviors as those who directly identify with the party they favor.

Looks like half about half according to available facts.

Unlikely, there's an exhaustive list of potential targets aside from a former president that would fulfill that requirement while being a far softer target. It would make little sense for Trump to not be the target for reasons specific to Trump.

Now what if MAGAtards do actually attempt revenge. How far will Biden be forced to push back? Imagine if he has to declare a state of emergency for the entire nation. Lol delay the election!!!

well, he Biden now has the power to murder Trump and order the USM to assault all Trump campaign offices in order to defend the United States, if he so wishes.

Trump's SCOTUS gave him this power. I wonder why he doesn't use it?

You mean Pres Biden really said "So, we’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye."

Gotta love the hypocrites that once condemned that type of language and now endorse it.

You mean AT member imported_tajmahal really said "I'd like to go to the border and toss grenades into all those tunnels" to kill all the women and babies.

Gotta love the hypocrites that once condemned that type of language and now endorse it.

Considering how Trump stood up with raised fist while SS were trying to shield his body. As if Trump knew there wasn’t a second shooter.

Anyone doing that would have to be incredibly stupid or knew he was just getting his money shot

The only reason that I weakly endorse this thought, is that under duress, we absolutely know that Trump runs and hides and cries like a fucking coward. Every fucking time something upsetting happens. He hides in his little bunker stuffing his maw with hamburders. His demanding to get up and hoist the Nazi salute in the air after being shot and tackled is definitely not something that anyone that is paying attention would expect of him.

This is too funny!
Wind speed detector?! Can you imagine the shit storm if Trump was told he wasn't allowed to fly flags at his rallies?!
Short SS agents? You do realise that they don't surround people at all times forming a flesh barrier? I'm pretty sure that she can get him to the floor then march him to safety if he doesn't decide to be an idiot and stand up waving his arms around!
The wrong side of the car? Was anyone shooting from the crowd?
Authorisation? They shot the guy pretty promptly. They could probably have secured the area better but unless you have specific information I'm guessing they weren't waiting for a phone call saying that they could shoot!

Seriously your post just reads like you vomited up a load of crap that you read online and didn't think about.

(a) Shouldn't underestimate the extent to which Trump _is_ "incredibly stupid"

(b) People can be surprising in how they react in extreme situations. Maybe his instinct for a good photo-op and pleasing his all-important crowd was stronger, in the moment, than any cowardice or instinct for self-preservation? (I'm sure there must be _some_ set of circumstances in which even Trump would do the 'right thing')

I mean, if the alternative being suggested is that the whole thing was a set-up, that just seems infinitely more implausible. Not least because it implies that Trump would agree to have someone shoot at him.

Sorry, I'm confused. What you posted indicates Rs account for both 48% and 32% of voters. Heh, should we split the difference? Seriously, though, yeah looks like things have changed a bit since 2020, but that tracks with increased voter turnout. The point is a percentage of registered voters and a percentage of the population are two completely different things. Do you agree?

Please tell me you're joking. Or is this Never Trumper embarrassment, why oh why couldn't it have been antifa, right?

Let me guess; the SCROTUS giving Trump a pass on the 14th Amendment and then proclaiming him a king who can kill whomever he wants, neither of those acts concerned you then, or now, right?

I wonder if we get Dark Brandon tonight, letting us that he's exercising his newly-granted rights by SCOTUS to order a strike on Trump castle and affiliated MAGA terrorist cells.

Remember that time when a POS racist righty killed 3 black people in a dollar general with a palmetto state ar-15? Less than a month later trump visits the palmetto state armory store where the gun was purchased.

Both sides are not the same...

I saw a teardown of brand new PS rifles, two actually, because their build quality is so poor that they shipped to the customer with tons of issues.
