Classic mirroring…..at best! But probably just plain old dishonesty because its basically the well worn tactic of accusing your opponent of the things you are doing in spades. I was listening to Andrew Marr this morning, they have acknowledged that the Hitler comparisons are wrong and overdone. And they are not the only ones. It's obvious from the this thread alone that the Biden/Democrat water carriers are spewing there own conspiracy theories that are equal in scale to anything QAnon has come out with. Any spurious comparisons with Hitler are negated by the obvious differences. Trump is an isolationist. He has virtually no military escapades under his belt. He is not immersed in antisemitism. He has no military career to speak of. In fact many of the things he rails against are no different to the things the occupy movement protested against after the crash or the anti-globalist crowd protested against in the 90s.
What is informing any of this "guess"*? His father was a libertarian, his mother, a democrat. His classmates say he was conservative.
*I think you meant the word, "hope".
No he wasn't. Its been well established at this stage that it was a bullet. No idea why some media outlets are still trying to play down this very serious incident
I thought he was hit by a piece of glass from a shattered teleprompter. Whose telling the truth here?
”more likely a Biden fan” sure, sounds legit, in-depth analysis there.
Kudos Sir/Mam I'll give you that 😉
But surely even you can't agree with what just happened? whatever you think about him?
Well, you would say that, wouldn’t you. 😂
Just looked through the whole thread and some comments by certain posters who are actually disappointed that the shooter missed? real 3rd world ****, disgraceful!
Yet the comments are still here and applauded which is quite disgusting. Trump is a divisive person no doubt, but if roles were reversed and had this happened to Biden it would be a completely different actions. Disagreeing with someone is fair, but wishing death is way below belt.
My God, that **** would have gone through his eye only for the head tilt.
Would love to see the seating position of the person killed, video I saw seems to show them nowhere near Trump, front or behind. Doubt the sniper missed by 35 ft, it was more like 35mm , so I dunno how he killed that guy in the crowd.
I wasn't standing up for it just acknowledging it existed.
Anyway, the times we live in: an assassination attempt and everything else we missed in the news because assassination attempt

A bogus argument based on personal biases and an inability to accept demonstrable facts, namely that the pursuit of communism by socialists the world over resulted in death on a scale beyond the wildest dreams of Fascism.
Everything bad = Fascism. BS
Another example of the illusory truth effect.
But again, not relevant to this topic.
(there is the argument that stalinism and fascism are not that estranged: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_fascism )
Chortle.
You once said that Stalin was a Fascist but that's not relevant to this topic either.
Great point
You're a guy that thinks the moon landings were faked. If you think anyone here is even remotely susceptible to taking you seriously, you're only fooling yourself.
My guess is it's the parents of Crooks who were Trump mega fans, it was them with Trump signs on their lawns, it was them registered as Republians, Crooks along for that ride, but not a Trump fan, more likely a Biden fan, and that's where the tension came from. There are so many parents who are Trump fans, while their kids hate him.
Hard to blow it out of proportion, and to this very day we see efforts to downplay it with illusory effects, disingenuous denials and outright lies about what transpired.
The type of diagnosis is interesting, eg. stalkers getting diagnosed with narcissism, like the one who killed Rebecca Shaeffer. Bipolar/Schizo crops up a lot with spree and mass shooters etc.
Had "Jan 6th" not been plastered all over liberal US news channels for months afterwords - nobody would have a clue what you were talking about. What's memorable is how blown out of proportion it was. I guarantee if you asked 10 average American people what year it happened, very few of them would know…
Very sad situation.
Horrific outcome for Cory Comperatore and the others wounded.
Hard to believe someone could just fall through the cracks like that.
Interesting that there seems to be a picture of mental health issues with Crooks possibly bipolar or schizophrenic
You could have ignored my post about Top Trumps or reported it if you felt it fell below the standard of posting required by this thread.
Instead you chose to engage. Your own contributions have been a lot pitheir than mine, particularly when you feel you have the moral authority to condensed to somebody.
This is relevant to the comment I made about the illusory truth effect. There's a lot still not known about Thomas Matthew Crooks and his motivations but without that information you've been sure to skew the perception of the topic as best you can, namely by posting at a rate that has made this thread all about your opinions and little else and with every openly abusive post directed at those you disagree with you're telling everyone that you're shaping this discussion and dissent will not be tolerated on pain of concern for people's mental health or with people you're less cagey around, openly scathing attacks on their intellectual prowess.
Probably best to put you back on ignore considering how our disagreements tend to lead to total thread derailment and bans for one or both of us.
This you bro?
said this in my best Texas grawl
Again see you are very eager to attempt to derail this topic then cry foul with pithy one liners.
Yes, Top Trumps, I would suggest not inserting that nonsense.
Top Trumps actually.
If you want to see less posts you have the power to make that happen. You can do it. I belive in you.
I simply tacked on at the end that your contributions have been mostly nonsense.
Leave out the tacked on at the end stuff will you
Your first reaction to hearing the news about his yard signs was to make a nonsense post about what was it, Trump baseball cards or something.
There would be less posts if such nonsense wasn't applied.
Are you taking a creative writing course at the moment or something?
I'd expect the same. The bigger the repercussions of an event the more people expect a similarly large cause. People have difficulty accepting that something huge can happen due to the smallest and most mundane causes. If Bush Jr. had choked to death on that pretzel there would be pretzel theories online.
