One month since a kid with a rifle, explosives, multiple cell phones and foreign accounts, bested the United States Secret Service despite multiple encounters identifying him as suspicious, and came within an inch of splitting open the head of the leading presidential candidate on live national TV.

We still have no motive identified. No identified contacts or co-conspirators. No information on foreign accounts. No information from decrypting his cell phones. And the whole event has been all but forgotten by the mainstream press.
I just Googled "Trump Assassination Attempt" and turned up several stories from the mainstream press within the past 24 hours ago. Your complaint about its forgotten state is wrong. You're probably not old enough to remember when Squeaky Fromm's gun misfired or Gerald Ford would have been killed. It was a big story for a week or so, but life moves on. Had either attempt succeeded they would have been bigger stories.
 
I would be shocked if anyone is telling trump to act like trump. Im pretty sure thats just who he is as we could see for years.

Its pretty crazy that hes the only candidate Republican that could possibly lose this election but he demanded to be the candidate so here we are.
Yeah, if I see Republicans blow another election like 2018, 2020, 2022, or 2023 (here in this state) I'm going to be fuming. But there's a good chance Trump will want to run again in 2028 so...
 
Another disgusting hypocritical human being is nightwish.

He claims to be a down the middle, sensible moderate.

Yet here he/she/it is simping for the most far left radical presidential ticket of all time.

It’s an anonymous message board. I’ll never understand their need for lying about who they really are.
The desire to be part of something. In the majority. Average. Normal. Y’all do the same thing with your MAGA stuff, constantly overestimating your size and acting like you’re the average American. The average American hates you guys, they aren’t one of you.

You never see me claiming any other affiliation than I am or overestimating the size of the American left. Because I’m interested in the truth, reality, rather than any narrative. My faction’s too small to push any narrative.
 
Interesting data of how bad Beshear crushed this state during covid, and despite his boasting, it is still suffering in some areas.

After five years of andy, there are still less Kentuckians employed than evil Bevin. They always quote the unemployment percentage. It's foolproof and no way to manipulate it.


We better hope they still need to pay andy off with more battery plants.











 
@Gassy_Knowls its impossible to believe that even a moron like you believes this. Yes I’m sure Ruby is in custody and is ready to help Trump. Yes, Greta is saying climate change is a hoax. In these tough times I can always laugh at your incompetence. Thank you for your service.

All Biden did was diminish her actual abilities in boxing her in as a DEI hire.

A: Harvard grad. Harvard Law. Harvard Law Review. Clerked under Stephen Breyer.
B: Rhodes College grad. Notre Dame Law. Clerked under Antonin Scalia.

Who was the DEI hire?
 
My bad. But, I don't care why he was there. The RNC should never allow a union leader to speak at their convention.
Populism is on the rise in both parties. There are many more average people in our country than business leaders. The question is where the business community goes, unlikely they’ll want to be on the outside of both parties for any significant period of time.

Exactly...this is never mentioned. He crushed the job market w/ his lockdowns and closures.
 
turned on tv to watch golf and found border czar rally on fox with joe. he must be pumped full of some powerful go juice because he’s speaking more coherently than i’ve heard him in years.
 
Truth STILL is democrats will never care about any policies besides whatever virtue-signaling spin they get from their candidates and then being able to avoid responsibility for their actions. Tell them they can kill babies and smoke their weed, everything else ... well, just tell me you care about it
 
Time to give up the ghost guys. Game is rigged and it’s over. Democrats have gone full socialist and moving into communism. It’s a run away train at this point and there is no way out short of civil war. Let’s be honest, conservatives aren’t going to do that. The left wing propaganda machine will win it for Kamala, and if that doesn’t work, mail in ballot dumps at 3 am after counting stops will do the trick just as it did last time.

Not a damn thing anyone on the right is going to do to stop it. It is truly over and I believe that to my core. Half this country is fully on board with socialist/communism, and that number continues to grow due to our failed education system that indoctrinates rather than educates.

Rumor is he gets sentenced to Rikers on 9/18 for one year. Supposedly a portion of the prison is already being prepared. FWIW
It would take someone truly out of touch to think anything short of prison is on the table. These people will stop at nothing. They didn’t unleash the DOJ on Trump just to give him probation…
 
I live in a pretty nice neighborhood in Lex. Our new neighbors are from Palestine, and moved in about 2 years ago. They now own 2 used car lots, 2 motels, and a pizza joint. Quite amazing.
aren’t immigrants like them exempt from taxes for their first five years or more? you can really get a leg up if you start a business and don’t have to pay tax.

David Ben Gurion was prime minister of Israel at 79.
Éamon De Valera was president of Ireland at 91.

Those stories you reference are simply rehashes of the original event. No new details. No one asking questions. No one curious as to why all of the mighty investigative powers of our government have failed to produce any meaningful explanations.

Hell, the mainstream media devoted more energy toward trying to fabricate notions that Trump wasn’t actually hit with a bullet than they did digging for details on how this event occurred.

Hell if I know...but that might explain why you see a new Chinese restaurant go up in a mall food court in a matter of days once there is an open spot.

Dion, in my sheltered experience with friends from extreme sides of both liberal and conservative spectrums, most of them believe they are in the “middle”. My best friend is a guy who will pull the democrat lever no matter who is running, but considers himself to be in the middle. We kid the Hell out of each other almost daily about our political views and bring up stupid things each one of our candidates say.
 
.... but you have to elect her first.... you know, so she fix the problems the Harris / Biden policies have caused. 😵🙄
Biden's policies have been fine....
*Russia just got invaded by Ukraine and their army is falling apart thanks to the steady supply of US weapons. Thanks Biden/Harris!
*NATO expanded by 2 countries. Thanks Biden/Harris!
*U.S. has added 15 million jobs since Biden took office. Thanks Biden/Harris!
*GDP has grown almost every quarter since Trump got fired and is growing better than under Trump before the pandemic. Thanks Biden/Harris!
*Stocks have set records under Biden and continue to perform well. Thanks Biden/Harris!

Only the Cult wants to go back to the days of stupid tweets, 15 percent unemployment and no toilet paper under Trump.

Dem lawmakers have already been pushing to remove his SS if he’s imprisoned. Only one reason for that and we all know it. Likely would spark massive civil chaos/riots and a reason for them to use the full force of gov to go after all those not in lockstep with their regime.

There are private people whose motives cannot be probed. Even in this day and age. If the guy didn't discuss it anywhere you can probe forever but it will stay hidden. If you propose an explanation as definitive without evidence, you'd be crucified. He legally had the gun. He knew where Trump would be. He flew a drone to scope out the site. He didn't whine or boast of his plans. He hadn't threatened anyone. He just did it. My guess is that he saw himself as a modern hunter. There's a book from the 30s about an aristocratic hunter with a grudge who stalked Hitler. (You might read the target as Stalin, but it would be a stretch.) If you get high powered rifles in your breakfast cereal, you're going to get more people shooting high powered rifles. But you can see with the naked eye how much evidence I have for that.

I disagree. Both parties should be able to hear what they have to say and be able to work across aisles with them. As I said rank and file workers are more and more leaning right and starting to claim their union bosses don't represent their interests.
 
In 2024 it’s certainly reasonable to think someone could be radicalized to the point they’d attempt to assassinate a president without having any internet footprint or connections to other radicals.

Definitely also reasonable the secret service wouldn’t cover the most obvious vantage point and ignore all warnings that a guy with a rifle had a clear line of sight to the president.

Some questions just don’t have answers everyone. No big deal.
