Stoked by his VP you mean?

So a guy who had Trump signs in his yard tried to kill him? Yeah that makes sense. ffs
the word is the latest polls have Trump far and away ahead of Biden in the swing states
Boys but oh boys Biden has it all to do and his tank is already running empty :/

More tripe from you.
Yes, I know that you hold the Democrats and those that don't like Trump to account for their words.
Not what I asked.
Do you hold Trump accountable for his words on the same basis?
Either you believe words have power or you don't.
Nothing makes sense to you, it doesn't have to make sense to you either.
You're not in a position to say what he isn't though. For all anybody knows he supported Trump but then decided to kill him with the Epstein news came back out recently, the modern republican movement being based heavily upon Qanon, which is predicated heavily on violent animosity towards, and conspiracy theories about, elitist pedophiles.

But by all means pound sand and pretend you know any better.
Are you reading the back of a cereal box?

So then what relevance is taking about Democrat messaging? Is it pointless to comprehend the motive of someone unhinged?
He is a registered Republican and is noted as being conservative by classmate.
You can be a Republican and not subscribe to the Trump cult.
And more unhinged... you could think shooting Trump makes him a martyr and delivers electoral victory to Republicans.
Or like Reagan's assassin the 'motive' may have nothing to do with party politics. Or it may be a specific grudge against something Trump did, or he thinks he did that he relates to personally.
Biden's winning big though according to this thread.
Biden is like a truck with 4 flat tires. Tis sad to see - he needs to be moved along to the nursing home if the Dems have any desire to win the “darn big ol’ barn”
Plenty of fans have turned against their idols.
Spot on by this guy at a press conference of Staten Island GOP
Yahtzee. eg.

"spot on?" he deflected to bla bla bla Russian Collusion and DEI.
😂
You up for a bet on the election? no money involved, something different
Mmmm…I was put in mind of Mark Chapman myself. A bloke who idolised Lennon and then turned against him because of a few things his idol said in public. When you're dealing with nutjobs, the merest deviation from what they think their idol should say can sometimes be enough to push them over the edge into murderous territory.
Since the Deep State failed at protecting Trump, he could probably ask MAGA to do the job. Can you imagine a well armed Trump militia surrounding his entourage everywhere he goes?
I'd wager the DEI hires in police forces & feds give them a wide berth.
Beer guts in flannel shirts bursting out under plate carriers. It would be ultimate cringe.
Oh, his own stormtroopers? Sturmabteilung if you prefer?
Yeah nobody will get upset at those obvious comparisons. I hope that was a pisstake BP. Otherwise it might be time for some self reflection there.
Crazy to think Trump wanted to hang his VP
Do you have him actually saying that? or is it a source said it ?
https://www.axios.com/2022/06/28/mike-pence-trump-jan6-hearing Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows said on Jan. 6 that former President Trump felt former Vice President Mike Pence "deserves" to be hanged, according to a former top aide to Meadows.
Why it matters: The testimony underscores how Trump's sympathies during the Jan. 6 attack were with the rioters and their belief that Pence was a traitor for resisting Trump's entreaties to help overturn the 2020 election.
What they're saying: Meadows' former top aide Cassidy Hutchinson said in closed-door testimony that Meadows, Trump and former White House counsel Pat Cipollone had a conversation in the Oval Office dining room on Jan. 6 about Capitol rioters chanting "hang Mike Pence."
Go deeper: Top White House aide warned of security risk to Pence before Jan. 6
Testified to this under oath.
This thread is becoming another where the illusory truth effect is taking hold.
Same old characters repeating the same old rhetoric again and again and again.
cite the disinformation in your illusory truth claim
Anything that's attempting to suggest the shooter was a flag waving cap wearing MAGA loon.
Anything that claims the whole thing was staged by Trump, or by Biden.
Anything that compares Trump to Hitler.
Anything dragging the already well documented misdeeds of Donald Trump into a thread specifically about his attempted assassination.
In short, and as respectfully as possible, most of your contributions on this thread up to this point.
EDIT: Just for ease of understanding, any references to the wearing of hats or waving of flags was not intended as a description of anything discussed on this thread up to this point, it was rather an abstraction used to engender a more vivid mental image of the character of the shooter as proposed by some posters here, than they had perhaps created themselves.
Was it all BLM, Antifa, lefties calling "Hang Mike Pence!"?
Pence is more of a Republican, and a patriot for that matter, than grifting Trump.
Correct, but not for the reasons you would suspect.
Lemme guess...
Do the "far right" make an appearance?
What bullshit. 😂 I don't even remember anyone mentioning Crooks waving any flags, or wearing any caps.
The illusory effect appears to be you using that specific imagery to try and jedi wave, or mind-trick away the very fact his neighbors attest that his home has Trump signs on the lawn. Not flags, not hats. And that he is a registered Republican. This is what we know, this is what is reported. Not flags, not hats.
As respectfully as possible: go touch grass, your efforts to disinform are pitiful, as it is pitiful how much it clearly rankles you that news reports get shared about his yard signs and about his party affiliation.
No, but saying the 6th wasn't an insurrection is just a p*sstake at this stage.
