If he’s 20, he couldn’t have voted in any prior election.

 

[MidseasonTweak]

Sure he did Ed.

Actually I retract that a bit, he donated 15 dollars after the Jan 6th riots. That tells me he was a disgruntled Republican with the MAGA way.

He was also wearing a shirt that's from one of the biggest pro-gun YouTube channels out there.

False.

Trump rising up bloodied after being shot with the ability to rally the troops.

Good God that may be one of the most crazy political events in a long a** time.

I can promise you this he won the independent votes tonight and I think he also dampened the Blue support they won't show up to the polls.

No he didn't. People know him as the buffoon that he is, just as they know that Biden may as well wear a red and white shirt.

I assume you’re just making light of the issue and not actually showing your ability to discern information. If not you understand you are a ****ing idiot, right?

Lol, someone who is red.

Wrong. Jesus literally taught to treat others as you wish to be treated. To love others for who they are.

I never get on this thread because politics has become so nasty and divisive in our society. I have read it tonight because of the obvious national tragedy/emergency that happened today in Pennsylvania. Reading through at least 20 pages of this thread, all I can say is that people are just outright nasty, ignorant of the other side's beliefs, and divisive at every opportunity. Just because someone holds political beliefs that are more liberal or conservative than you, does not make them a piece of shit. All liberals are not pieces of shit because they don't think everyone should own guns. Likewise, all conservative leaning political folks aren't pieces of shit or scum because of the fact they don't think the same as you. As someone that leans socially liberal and fiscally conservative (which at least 60% of the people in our country probably do if they would admit it and get out of their particular "side"), I'm glad the person that tried to kill Donald Trump was shot and killed. I'm sorry anyone was injured at all. But until people are willing to focus on things they agree on and work their way out from there, instead of focusing solely on the things they disagree about and offer no common ground, this country is flat ****ed. I will be 88 soon and have lived through multiple wars and have seen the best and the worst this country has to offer. Now, I'm seeing the absolute worst. Until people can try to compromise and see similarities in beliefs instead of fighting and name calling due to differences, it will not get better. Anyone that calls me the nasty names that are being used here tonight for Democrats, or liberals, or "libtards" as I've read way too much on here tonight can kiss my ass. I've raised 5 kids, I have 17 grandkids, 18 great grandkids and 1 great great grandkid. They have been successful, tax paying members of society. Some have been military, some not. They fall all over the political spectrum, but when we get a chance to get together, we all love each other and have a great time. If more of the people that start political fights would spend more time with their families, forming bonds and having fun together instead of focusing their daily life on politicians that have different views than they have, maybe we could right this ship and build a better country for everyone in it.

First, congrats on getting to 88 years old and having a large family. Kudos to you, you must be doing a lot of things "right". We should all be so lucky. EDIT: I hope they are all UK fans!!

This country is no longer the country you and I grew up in. Too many segments have been radicalized by modern day liberalism. Do you actually believe that only the left on here gets called names? If you believe that, then you haven't read enough. Most of us get called terrible names on here every day from the left and to so called "moderate". I suspect you are old enough and wise enough to look in the mirror and see your side doing it too.

How do you compromise with people that want open borders (which is a direct destruction of the country) and end what this country is and has been? With people that want to kill children? With people that want to indoctrinate and mutilate children? With people that celebrate Lenin and destroy Washington? Guess what ... you can't. All it takes is for good people to say nothing when people like Dion, shins, sams dad, james, etc., spew their hatred.

One thing I agree with you is the board interaction makes things worse, quickly. Having said that, things i see or read on here become the national discussion 2-3 days later. Like it or not, this thread is great for a swath (all sides) of news from all sorts of sources.

 

[NociHTTP]

Glad you posted your reaction to the assassination attempt...

Try harder...

Nope. I posted in response to the person I replied to. Read harder.

I think the inference is that is how his parents voted. "Family affiliation".

 

[ukalum1988]

He's also one of the 9 Congressional Representatives that sought to remove Trumps Secret Service detail.

And he was rightfully called out for it in a Community Note attached to his tweet.

His parents aren't him, so it doesn't mean much

Yeah, LIBS, the right has been stoking anger and trying to push weak minds over the edge for years........lol

 

[SemperFiCat]

So, let me get this straight... there was a shooter on a building. One of three, with no SS or law enforcement observers up there in a perfect vantage point, from a security standpoint? I haven't heard of any drones. A SS counter sniper team seems to pause after identifying the assassin? And the FBI office that handled the Hunter Biden embarrassment is now investigating this "shooting at a Trump rally"? This coming after the Biden presidential campaign looks doomed. AND after having the audacity to weaponize of the DOJ?

This is how conspiracy theories are born.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

He hasn't voted, is registered republican and has given one small political donation.............to a Libfilth progressive pact.

 

[Lost In FL]

The huge American flag flying over Trump's head served as the ideal wind flag, indicating for a potential assassin wind speed and direction - such indicators are used on ALL military/security firing ranges, such indicators should have been prohibited by security.

That was called out in "Shooter" as well. Kind of eerie.

His father is a mental health professional. I am a psychotherapist gun toting right wing guy. It’s weird I know but we do exist. Ole Morg was confused.

The thing is let me tell you from the inside that saying you’re a mental health professional is just about like saying you’re an extreme leftist ideologue. Yes, we exist in this field on the other side of the spectrum but we are far and few between. Mental health professionals are far more radical left wing than professions like teachers or even your average college professors. I am in a profession that, many times, must hide my political affiliation and pick my battles carefully.

If his father is a mental health professional the chances of this kid being raised even moderately political is not existent. His father is most certainly an extreme leftist.

 

[AshWilliams]

Odd how all the professional media Trump-haters are suddenly this morning apostles of mutual respect and understanding - while still indirectly implying their sadness that Trump caused all this.

 

[ukalum1988]

@BBBLazing. This has been going on for years. Include Kathy Griffin too. The problem is not us saying "leftards". If that term bothers you, I suspect you are wise enough to question your affiliations.

Shooter had an AR15 guys. Get ready for the calls to ban them.

BBB made a heartfelt post. Unfortunately, he doesn’t get it when he says we must find common ground.

There is no common ground with people who have done, and want to do, what the modern democrat party wants. It’s not possible. Either enough people wake up to that, or we go over the cliff’s edge.

 

[bubba_bomb]

That’s exactly what they are. When you break the Bible down and look into spiritual warfare, there is no denying the demonic element is coming from that party and their fringes. The immoral masquerading as moral is a clear sign. They’ve convinced many. Look at abortion and child murder. The destruction of a man and a woman in marriage, all things which are satanic. Demons are always working to promote satanic lifestyles, they don’t have long to do it. Satan doesn’t even hide anymore he doesn’t have to. Both parties are bad but the left is very satanic.

Its the party of evil.

Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!

You can tell media has their orders in not saying “assassination.” These are the same people who couldn’t stop saying “insurrection” and how Capitol protesters were going to overthrow the government and were “targeting” politicians who were nowhere near any conservative.

But oddly, they downplay and minimize the shooting of a president. These shameless pigs are so blatantly mouthpieces for Democrat propaganda.

Your Tin Foil hat needs an adjustment. 🤡

Stay in the political topic with the rest of the horde, or crawl back to the Facebook, boomer.

With all due respect, this is the apathy that has allowed us to become as unserious a nation as we have.

This is how conspiracy theories are born.

It is apparent that the secret service did not eliminate the shooter until he started shooting.

Why?

If you watch the video, one of the women tries multiple times to re-holster her gun, and fails completely. Finally gives up.
