And suddenly the 'assassination attempt'

[Aviation Pro]

Goes poof like a fart in the wind.

Kudos to Loose Banana Cannon and Fake Hillbilly for ensuring that President Biden wins in a landslide.

Let’s Fucking Go.

[senseandsensibility]

1. I like your attitude

even if I can't fully subscribe to it!

[PortTack]

2. Great attitude...more of this please!!

[calimary]

26. Yes Indeed! As much as we can get!!!

[lapfog_1]

3. obviously pre-planned

they can't think for themselves and no one at the top did anything to change the story.

Later when Trump speaks, I'm sure he will blame Biden and the democrats for the shooting

[Aviation Pro]

5. Too late for Motherfucker

That well has already been poisoned. Eventually, we’ll find out that his ‘wound’ wasn’t even a bullet fragment.

[malaise]

10. THIS

Too neat Vulgar timing. I remain doubtful malaise.
His attempted assassination of his own VP was way more frightening,

[rampartc]

32. i want to see him accept his purple heart at his convention

1. convention protestors want to remain non violent. maga thrive on false flags and love to blame their boogaloo shit onm antifa or blm.

2. will he give the new vice prsident apprentice a rose? or a noose?

[onandup]

69. Someone talented with photoshop

Should depict Trump putting a noose around Vance's neck in the same way a medal is awarded.

[DiamondShark]

76. Let's not. That is not who we are.

[NoSheep]

88. They KNOW we aren't capable of their evil actions. That's why the gaslighting works so well.

Just like any abuser, they say it is OUR fault.
We have to adapt our strategies...not our souls or ethics

[rampartc]

90. a long red tie on the gallows

[Bernardo de La Paz]

16. Who gives a fuck if it was bullet or plastic. It was an assassination attempt and he's lucky to be alive

But it was a bullet. The bullet was photographed in flight just after passing his ear.

[Orrex]

27. Could have gone in one and out the other unimpeded.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

42. DUzy !

[Conjuay]

70. from the moment it happened

I got an image of “Fearless Fosdick” with a hole straight through his skull.

Life imitates art, as they say.

[Tickle]

45. It upsets some when you post

like that. Just saying

[Bernardo de La Paz]

65. CTs constantly seek confirmation. Anti-narrative facts trouble them, but are swept under the rug. . . . nt

[at140]

77. Please stop

posting facts. This an emotional thread.

[bdamomma]

17. Staying true

to his lies, which is like breathing for him. He's a fucking liar.

[soldierant]

44. I think we may have already found that out.

https://politizoom.com/was-trump-shot-or-scratched-by-teleprompter-glass-major-difference/

There's a closeup of him showing a scratch on his cheek that a bullet couldn't possibly have made - but a small piece of shattered glass certainly could - such as from a teleprompter.

[Tickle]

46. I thought it was his ear? NT

[soldierant]

53. Yes,his ear was also bleeding, peofusely, as ears do,

That could have been from a bullet, though it would be from a very unlikely angle. But that hairline cut could not. Occam's razor.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

50. That's a blood splatter, not a scratch. And what an annoying site that was. I backed out as fast as I could. nt

[soldierant]

54. I agree the ad volume is most annoying. It's a pity, because the writers are all sharp - not perfect, but sharp.

[former9thward]

84. What a CT.

[onethatcares]

8. and for not doing more

to unify this country. Geez, if only Joe would adopt Proj 2025 life would be so much more unifying. Do I really need to add that sarcasm thingy?

[Codifer]

13. Or....

he will sweet as syrup and totally insincere.

He will look nice and reborn but he will be gaslighting.

[recovering_democrat]

28. made me relax and feel better!

watching this media coverage yesterday, I was freaking out with the "drama" show.

Then I read the texts on this site and realized the common sense world knew exactly what was happening, and I felt ok again.

Good Grief~

[onecaliberal]

4. republicons are dumb. This was all planned in advance.

[Tickle]

47. Killing a family guy was part

of the plan?

[ForgedCrank]

71. I remember

another guy who was making claims about shootings being staged and stuff.
Can't remember that guys name now for some reason.

[Frasier Balzov]

6. I've been saying the same thing.

Vance will not save Trump in Ohio.

Even people who love Vance can see the danger of Trump.

And they must be questioning their love for Vance if he's running with Trump.

[kelly1mm]

30. President Trump does not need Sen Vance to win Ohio. Ohio has gone the opposite direction of

Virginia and is solidly red. President Trump will win Ohio by at least 6 points

[Patterson]

56. Don't call him "President Trump."

[kelly1mm]

58. It is a common honorific to refer to all former Presidents as 'President X'. Like how President Obama and President

Reagan are/were referred to after leaving office.

[PunkinPi]

68. The thing is he doesn't deserve the "honorific", as he has no honor and is a traitor. YMMV. nt

[Dem4life1234]

75. That fucker

Does not deserve the honor. Fuck him

[DiamondShark]

80. Former President n/t

[Rocknation]

38. DING DING DING -- Frasier Balzov, you're our grand prize winner!

...Even people who love Vance can see the danger of Trump...

Up to and including Vance!

Rocknation

[rzemanfl]

67. Sarah Palin is miffed. n/t

[oldsoftie]

85. Save him? Trump won Ohio in 2020 & he's currently well ahead in polling there.

And as I always say, battle ground state polls are really the ONLY ones that matter.

[Frasier Balzov]

92. I like how you efficiently use time!

Hope you do check in on Montana though. That Sheehy is giving Tester a race.

[oldsoftie]

95. Yeah the Senate is definitely in danger. Something else too many seem to ignore.

If trump wins dems MUST have the Senate more than the House. Its the only way to stop bad judges & cabinet appointees. Of course knowing trump, he'd just use them anyway & dare us to stop him. Being July its STILL early; many voters just dont pay attention till October. But we've been down almost this entire cycle & thats not normal. But thats about all you can say here.

[NoSheep]

89. I hope you are right and I love having something to give me hope.

[NameAlreadyTaken]

7. Also because the shooter was Republican

Time to sweep that story away!

[Aviation Pro]

9. And the owner of the Demolition Ranch channel

Just came out with a rational and clear explanation of his feelings calling Motherfucker, “Trump,” not President Trump, not former President Trump, “Trump.”

[markodochartaigh]

19. The Demolition Ranch guy is friends

with Brandon Herrera, an alt right friend of Max Gaetz, Ramaswamy, and Kyle "The Krying Killer" Rittenhouse.

[Aviation Pro]

22. He's also friends with the BRCC crew

You know their feelings on the baby-faced killa.

[LiberalArkie]

11. Since the courts are now full of evangelicals along with a lot of the DOJ and SS just waiting on prophecy

And since he was wounded in the head and survived Per the Revelations of John. 13:3.
One of the heads of the beast appeared to be mortally wounded. But the mortal wound was healed, and the whole world marveled and followed the beast. 4They worshiped the dragon who had given authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, “Who is like the beast, and who can wage war against it?”

[Nimble_Idea]

24. they equate the orgene king as the beast and will VOTE FOR it

make it make sense.

[LiberalArkie]

35. According to their books, that is exactly what they will do. Evangelicals (Pat Roberson & others)

have been working towards that goal for many years.

[Tickle]

49. This is giving me the hebee geebees

Sorry about the spelling

[DiamondShark]

81. Not the beast, not the anti-christ. Context matters.

I prefer NASB for easy reading, but KJV is the go to source for many. If you want to read the whole book, without notes to keep track, it takes 2-3 hours.

Revelations 13:14 states the beast was injured by a sword.
For context, KJV Revelation 13.

First beast
1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2 And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.
3 And I saw one of his heads as it were wounded to death; and his deadly wound was healed: and all the world wondered after the beast.
4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?
5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.
6 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.
7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.
8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
9 If any man have an ear, let him hear.
10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Second beast
11 And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon.
12 And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed.
13 And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
14 And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
15 And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
17 And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

12. What are they planning at the convention that they don't want to leak?

We need to bury the Russiapublicans come Roevember.

[bdamomma]

20. That's

our plan to bury them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[republianmushroom]

14. Hopefully you are correct.

[rubbersole]

15. JD will be an anchor around tsf.

Probably not to diehard magats but to any traditional repubs that are left. His previous quotes will make great Dem ads.

[Warpy]

18. They're not going to keep TFG from shooting his big fat mouth off

and lying about how he was almost killed by Antifa and how they must be stopped, blah blah blah.

And that is our opening to talk about violence on the far right.

TFG is not going to shut up about this because he's starting to believe what the Jebus jumpers are telling him, that he was sent by gawd. Gawd should have prevented that piece of glass from hitting him. How rude!

[coprolite]

37. I suspect he wont be reimbursing the Butler County

Law enforcement officers that were there to provide security. He will suggest they did a lousy job and shouldn't be paid.

[former9thward]

52. What glass?

A mysterious piece of glass came out of nowhere? Is the bullet picture a fake too?

[littlemissmartypants]

59. Shards from a shattered teleprompter have been suggested.

I even read today that there's speculation that other equipment may have been hit by gunfire and broken, too.

The general suggestion is that the possible source of the flying projectiles/debris may have been multiple objects that were damaged.

Hyperbole, deception and situational manipulation are hallmarks of his communication style.

I am of the camp that believes we will probably never know the truth.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

63. I am of the camp that the CTs have the burden of proof and all they offer is conjecture, hence their face-plant. . nt

[totodeinhere]

21. Anyone who thinks that President Biden will win in a landslide is fooling themselves.

This country is too closely divided for anyone to win in a landslide. It's going to be a very close election. I know it feels good to say that the president will win in a landslide but I would prefer reality over some sort of feel good prediction.

[Aviation Pro]

23. Look at evidence-based trends not polls

Landslide.

[reACTIONary]

48. Huh? What...

... is an "evidence based trend"?

[Orrex]

34. Agreed

Predicting a landslide is an invitation to complacency. This will be a hard-fought election well beyond November.

[totodeinhere]

39. Pundits who are suggesting that Trump will win in a landslide

are also fooling themselves.

[Orrex]

41. Yes

When they turn out to be wrong, no one will remember or care. But if Trump should win even by 1 vote, they'll have formally ingratiated themselves to the festering orange prolapse.

[twodogsbarking]

25. It was Lee Harvey Oswald, acting alone.

[oswaldactedalone]

51. Indeed it was

[Blue Full Moon]

66. A little help from George H?

The day McCain announced Palin as his VP, I preemptively congratulated Obama on his presidential victory. Today, I preemptively congratulate Duh Donald on setting a record by losing the presidential popular vote three times in a row.


Rocknation

[oldsoftie]

83. Losing the popular vote is meaningless if he wins the EC.

I'd rather HIM win the popular vote and BIDEN win the EC if it has to be one or the other

[Quixote1818]

31. Once it came out he was an incel Republican withe the profile of a school shooter, there was only so much mileage

they could get out of that.

[Kaleva]

57. Yes

[OldBoss]

33. The failed assassination ...

did not seem to move the needle for anyone outside of his cult base. And Vance is just as sickening of an organism (almost wrote human).

[Patton French]

36. I suppose it depends on what you consider to be a landslide. NT

[orthoclad]

40. "Shillbilly"

kinda rolls off the tongue.

Look, in 2016 I HOPED that Trump would get the nom to guarantee a Reich wing loss. Boy was I wrong.
I'm scared.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

64. A best-seller (if well written) could be titled "Fat Cat Elegy". Vance is an oligarch

He got given a real leg up by faux-libertarian reich wingers like Thiel. But he and they always regurgitate the mantra "Just work hard and you will get rich", as if they never had advantages. (Some did work extremely hard and overcame disadvantages, but they tend to be bluer.) To Vance's credit, he did overcome growing up son of a drug-addicted mother in the Rust Belt when it was rusting and he did well at university.

Yale Law School is hardly hillbilly. Jumping from there into Silicon Valley capital investment funds is not how you understand the working poor and the struggling middle class. It doesn't prevent understanding, but it sure doesn't help.

[DFW]

72. Thiel is openly gay

I wonder how they reconcile this beyond their “money conquers all” tenet?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

73. Interesting factoid. Aligns with libertarianism and faux-libertarianism. . . . . nt

[DFW]

74. But does NOT align with current Republican sentiment

I presume they will take his money, never say his name, and pretend he doesn’t exist.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

79. Goes to show he values money more than freedom. Love of money (greed) is shared by Rs and faux-libertarians. .nt

[Blue Owl]

43. Like a fart in a golf cart

[Maru Kitteh]

55. I greatly enjoy the way you turn a phrase.

[Polybius]

60. You keep keep saying "landslide"

I have a post bookmarked where you say Biden wins by 20. You seriously still believe this?

[Aviation Pro]

61. Yep....

…it’s called speaking it into existence.

[Polybius]

62. I can't argue with something that hasn't happened yet

I think Biden wins by 0.8%-2%, so we shall have to wait till November to find out.

[et tu]

82. make it so... nt

[Frank D. Lincoln]

78. Here's to farts in the wind.

[oldsoftie]

86. I cant believe how many "it was a setup" posts I'm seeing on DU.

Come on people.

[SlimJimmy]

93. To be perfectly honest, I stopped reading some of the threads

because of it. Bottom line, The Orange Man was shot at. It hit his ear (grazed) it, and the SS did their job by getting him out of there. The motivation of the shooter is not as important as the fact that someone in this country would take that shot.

[kskiska]

87. And yet, his biggest concern at that moment

were the lifts in his shoes (and probably the big bald spot on his head).

[FSogol]

91. Yale Hillbilly!

[hueymahl]

94. What did I miss

Are we now saying it was not an assassination attempt?!?

I'm so confused.
