Conspiracy this conspiracy that
Theres a fair few people here saying this was a false flag, completely staged blah blah blah.
Then there's your type of posts about Trump supporters being conspiracy theorists and likely to bend this story to suit their narrative.
The whole Conspiracy Theorist as a term of abuse has run it's course at this stage and has zero value anymore.
Definitely not. If you think Trump won't use this all the way to the election then you're being incredibly naive.
How long before some lunatic has a pop at Biden or Harris.
Yes. All jokes aside am glad he's ok .
Don't think that his supporters would ever be likely to consider peaceful democracy if something so horrific was to happen to their candidate , and that would be very understandable .
Whoever did this is just as bad as the worst of the Jan 6th Rioters .
...
Edit.
There was a single person mentioning a false flag or conspiracy etc…. don't go painting that as a 'fair few'
Bit too far-fetched for a final season
Well, that's probably the election over.
Day by day Biden was already struggling because of the building narrative around his age, can't see any individual Democrat wanting to push for him to step down now so they can replace him to likely lose to Trump so I'd say they'll leave him there to take the beating.
Incredible that this is the world in 2024 that someone like Trump with all the incredible evidence as to his inability for the role and the volumes of literal evidence as to his criminal behaviour, he will likely be President in Jan 2025.
Melania is feeling
Conflicted.
Didnt someone tried to take him out before? Back in 2016?
Trump is a marmite figure. People either like him or don't. Those already keen on him will swoon over that image; the rest won't. Did Thatcher become wildly popular in the parts of Britain that didn't like her after the Provos nearly killed her?
Besides, it will be tough for Trump to play the sympathy card when he has already vowed to pardon those who sought to kill Dems on January 6th.
True. Tbh, I think they're now in a trap they can't get out of. Switching Biden looks reactionary and it WILL be played as his attempt to install Kamala so she can pardon him of THE CRIME OF ATTEMPTED MURDER OF HIS POLITICAL OPPONENT!
Install the generic democrat nominee and they are just gonna be swallowed up in the Trump circus anyway. At this point, I don't see how Trump doesn't win.
CNN confirming one attendee and the shooter is dead.
No, trying to assassinate a politician and killing someone else in the process isnt "just as bad" as a rioter. It's a lot worse. Jesus wept.
They're trying to take him out in court, and now this
Ball bearing, a small steel sphere fired with compressed air or CO2. More than an airsoft rifle less tham a .22 rifle. You wouldnt get that distance with the best of BB rifles.
NNah dont believe that but I would believe it might have been a 5.56 rifle.
The democrats need to get the George Clooney - Michelle Obama ticket sorted by Monday morning. It’s their only hope/chance.
If it was Putin?
Presumably the dead victim offered himself as blood sacrifice for the false flag…
It certainly looks like Trump was millimetres away from death the more reports emerge. Seismic moment.
Lol
Unless the police missed, that rather negates the theory of low lower or air firearms
Probably hasn't helped some people saying it will be the end of democracy, America if he wins. That kind of charged and hyperbolic language has become far to common in US politics. When two sides see each other as enemies these kind of incidents are going to happen.
The worst I said ..ones who killed police
All the Republicans out blaming Biden. Apparently Biden is the one stoking up violence. Sky News are also absolutely awful not challenging some of the guff these Republican weirdos keep coming with.
I painted it accurately...
Who is they ?
Media avoiding calling what it was an assassination attempt
Nope nothing like this. Trump fist pumping to the crowd with blood on his face will be used by the Republicans to huge effect versus a feeble looking Biden who doesn't know who the president of the Ukraine is.
That didn't take long...
