POLITICAL THREAD

[DrH. Lecter]

I think taking a rifle and trying to blow a man's head off outranks voter registration. Just my opinion.

I totally agree but it is a narrative that the left is attempting to construct in order to avoid blame for their rhetoric that caused it. He was deranged and their rhetoric pushed him into finding infamy by assassinating the person half of the nation hates and would celebrate him for doing. He knew that he would become a hero in the eyes of guys like Dsus and Sambortion.

Oh? So Sirhan Sirhan was a conservative Republican? Good to know...

(Yes I know it was pistol, not a rifle. Just putting this here because someone would totally be that pedantic knowing this thread.)

 

[L.O.D.]

Bold prediction: outta nowhere Haley named VP NOM. I THINK it was Vance 100 before shooting but I think it's a decent chance Trump wants to set a different tone an Haley would be it.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

The VP pick is in. We'll see them for the first time at 4:37 PM Eastern today.

"Thomas Matthew Crooks, the 20-year-old gunman who shot and injured former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally, briefly appeared in an advertisement for BlackRock Inc., the company said on Sunday."

This occurred in 2022. He was in background & not paid.

 

[Caveman Catfan]

His parents are both registered Dems.

I wonder what GOP rhetoric led him to kill people in his attempt to assassinate the GOP candidate?

 

[trueblujr2]

The "whataboutisms" and the "yeah but Trump one time said" since he was shot is disgusting and beyond laughable.

And the comparisons they have to dig up are laughable. We could assemble a multi-episode mini-series of vile and disgusting clips and statements by libs in regards to Trump.

 

[vhcat70]

like I said that doesn't make them MAGA or even voting for a 'R'

Yea, you're still worthless if you just vote R & aren't MAGA. LMAO.

 

[vhcat70]

Agreed. It was a question, because you said you beat off oppressors. Just the ones you like, I guess.

Guess again.

 

[Dionysus444]

What about King MAGA?

You are as unAmerican and unpatriotic as they come.

 

[trueblujr2]

Confirmed that we will 100% get a VP pick today. I still think it's Vance. I know many don't like the pick but I think they are trying to sweep that B1G area or at least get 1 of Wisc and Mich.

Vance is from Ohio, He ain't getting the Michigan Fans votes, LOL!

 

[cole854]

I am not enamored with either Gov as a VP pick....I don't see them moving the needle much (although that really doesn't matter much for the VP pick) and I believe they are both too important in their current roles, especially Youngkin.

Vance...I can get on board with as I believe he helps w/ the younger vote. However....does this hurt his Ohio Senate seat when up for grabs. Ryan may take it back against another opponent.

I would love Vivek or Gabbard as two non-office holders but longshots, imo.

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Burgum is now out.

It's Vance, Younkin or a shocker like Stefanik or Haley.

Good because Burgum needs to be his energy Sec.

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Temperature lowered

 

[L.O.D.]

Regarding the teleprompter theory. If it had been from a teleprompter that was hit, wouldn’t it have been his left ear that got hit? They did’t look to be hit anyway but maybe what I thought were teleprompters weren’t the teleprompters. Either way, they wouldn’t have been behind him.

Isn't there a photo actually showing the bullet ? Sure didn't look luke a piece of glass.

 

[UKBlueBlood]

Yes, it one of the teleprompters had been hit by a bullet and exploded into Trumps head, it probably would have hit the side of his head facing the teleprompters and both teleprompters wouldn’t have been seen clearly on video perfectly intact. But that’s not going to stop the lefties.

I don’t even understand why there is any speculation. There is a photo (that I believe has been corroborated as legitimate) that actually caught the bullet on frame whizzing past Trump’s head as he begins to reach for his ear.

 

[L.O.D.]

Burgum is now out.

Haley would be the biggest splash and make the moderates most happy. Vance is best choice though

 

[Dionysus444]

Not personally speculating here, it's early in the process. This is definitely going to be a wild one though.

Actually that's funny you bring that up now that we're thinking about assassinations.

Jfk got killed by a commie
RFK by a PLO lunatic

Your friends!

 

[Cold Stout Beer]

Haley would not shock me. They said he ripped up his speech after the shooting and is now giving one based on Unity. She's now suddely gonna be there.. I could see him giving an example on how united he and Nikki and the RNC are now. Doubt it but her chances are on the board now.

 

[CrittendenWildcat]

How goes it? Have not seen you post in a good while.

I'm fine, I don't think I've posted here since the Palestinian attack on Israel in October, that p!ssed me off enough to spout off. Took an attempt on Trump's life to get my blood boiling enough to post again.
Otherwise, work has been hopelessly demanding, and it just feels like we are all shouting at clouds on here sometimes.
...but give me a chance to hurl some crude and baseless personal insults, and dammit, you know I'm here for that!

WTF? Are you serious? He was a terrorist PALESTINIAN who was killing him because of his support for Israel. WOW.

 

[Bill Cosby]

Vance perfectly fits the bill for a trump vp. Hopefully trump lives out the four, because vance is terrible and will do or say anything for money and power.

Wish trump would go a different route, for the reasons i posted many times, but thats why this is the perfect choice for trump.

Rumors on Twitter now he’s meeting with RFK. Who knows.

RFK has a few pros. A ton of cons.

That said, if it’s Trump/RFK no democrat ticket can beat that in an actual election. Will be interesting to see if they burn the preprinted ballots, or drag Biden’s barely mobile body to the finish line and still complete the steal.

If Trump were to announce RFK today, I would imagine everyone would start just acting like they’re in office. They might just burn down the White House and regulatory agency offices rather than taking the time to destroy all the evidence of their crimes.

My point exactly. These things are much more complicated than just red team vs blue team.

WTF? Are you serious? He was a terrorist PALESTINIAN who was killing him because of his support for Israel. WOW.

Duh. That's my point. Do you think that's a conservative Republican? He was a dyed-in-the-wool self-describing communist.

I would take Stefanik for NY or Haley for women and the rest of the "Rino" vote. Keep her close but do not trust her.

It is good to hear that you are well.

I can't leave, someone has to keep @TheFrontRunner on the straight and narrow.

@55wildcat and I have the watch.

 

[Bill Cosby]

On the one hand, I want to believe the classmates stories about the shooter and that he hasn’t change since he was that quirky debating lone conservative.

On the other hand, he tried to blow Trump’s head off on live TV which is exactly what democrats and their media messengers have been pushing for.

Hmmmm.

 

[augustaky1]

I still like Vivek.

I wonder if he is not in line for White House Chief of Staff? Provided a win of course.

 

[UKBrassowTipIN]

I wasn't calling him a centrist. I was illustrating the depth of the political world outside y'all's bubble. Destiny is a radlib. To you he's a lefty. To the actual leftists he's a capital apologist literal running joke.

Who are actual leftists?
The young turks? Lol How's that union going for Cenk?
Sport coat Sammy aka Kyle Kulinski the guy that created a dark money pac and put it in Knoxville?
Dave pakman- who's basically Rachel Maddow and will sell out for ads

Oh, chapo that's gotta be it.

Sirhan Sirhan would be a registered Democrat who spends time on the staff of the Squad and organizing protesting at College Campi. From the River to the Sea a true Democrat he be.

 

[billCgmx]

He certainly needs professional help. He has a diseased mind for sure.

He hates Trump but I believe the unhinged attacks are mostly an act.

 

[UKBlueBlood]

Perhaps even more reason why he needs professional help.

See you don't even know. Meanwhile, on the flip side, I'm the one telling the thread about the rightwing personalities like Patrick Bet-David too.

You can be left of older Democrats. New ones not so much.

Yeah, definitely not a conservative Republican. Who shot RFK. Point proven. All the sane people got it in my first post, sorry it took you this long.

 

[JumperJack]

You may get your wish.

Is that going to happen before or after he packs all the courts and eliminates the EC, Karl?

 

[cole854]

I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to see a Vivek/Kamala debate.

 

[Bill Cosby]

Trump Truthing about RFK protection. RFK X’ing(?) that talking about unity.

Strange…

With all this talk of unity, if Trump picked a democrat for the ultimate unity pick, then they said they were running to unite the country against the establishment, they could not be beaten*.

Edit: in a free and fair election. Obviously we still have the mail in vote fraud and potential assassinations.
