he had a ladder
proof of a vast sophisticated conspiracy right there
Something not right here ,media says he had no online presence as such ,but a 20 year old could plan and carry out an attack on the Ex president, he had a range finder ,he had a ladder and missed by a couple of millimetres, very well planed and executed ,and as for the security services that were told he was on the roof p45s all round
my guess is that it could appear crass as in the attack one innocent person was killed….Also as the old saying goes discretion is the better part of valour.

There isn't a single person on the planet who provides meaningful discussion about political current affairs that would have a problem with describing Donald Trump as crass. Look at how he spoke about Nancy Pelosi and her husband in the wake of his attack. And he was more severely injured than Trump was.
Look at how he spoke about fallen soldiers in Normandy.
Look at how he spoke about Mike Pence for having been a prisoner of war in Vietnam.
Nah, there's another reason.
I do find the choice to not reach out to the victim's families to be particularly bizarre as well.
Also as the old saying goes discretion is the better part of valour. Maybe don’t want to embolden anyone else harbouring similar desires and sentiments.
Even though it was only a glancing flesh wound he will be aware that he was millimetres from instant death. So he’s probably figuratively licking his wounds,
The type of person who defends a scumbag who had an $83 million verdict against him in a civil sexual assault case and then argues semantics is exactly the type of person I expect a Trump supporter to be. If they were civilised or had any morals at all, that trial (and not even the fraud case) should have ended his political ambitions.
In my opinion if you support him after all of that you are condoning that behaviour and no mental or semantic gymnastics is going to change that. At least the Trump supporters should be honest and say they don't mind sexual assault against women or fraud as long as they get their ideology into the White House.
Does anyone else find Trumps behavior about this attempt a bit weird?
When it happened Saturday night, I expected from Sunday we'd see him talking on every major TV station that would have him but I haven't seen a single clip, not one, of him talking about it. I expect if I went looking for some I might find something, but if he had done anything significant, all the commentators and clip editors would be using them on social media. I haven't seen a single such clip.
Why would he, or his team not have him look to use the 'free advertising' that such interviews would give him. Even those close to him who have commented on it such as Huckabee Sanders have just gone with the simple 'hero dodged a bullet' angle rather than focusing it in a meaningful way about how he is aware of the challenges of the role, more than anyone, blah blah blah, but he showed how he can remain calm under pressure, and so on. I haven't seen any of that. I just find that weird given the stage, literally, on which he is playing.
I actually get that she (or whoever was in charge of the detailed planning) decided not to put a sniper on that roof, for that reason. What I don't get is that they then left the access to that roof apparently unguarded, as though a terrorist group would reach the same conclusion about it. Madness.
The policies of Republicanism are racist and misogynist - why is everyone so surprised that the leader reflects the basic tenets of the party and feel they have to write about it - it’s hardly a shock 🤪
was wondering about this. which sniper team actually shot him?, it wasn't the one we've seen in the videos i think it was the one further away from the shooter, these ones closer were blocked by trees
First 30 seconds are worth a watch.
I get that side too but my experience is with non US citizens. I certainly wouldn’t imagine all his voters fall into that category in fairness .
I wouldn't go quite that far myself. I know people who are not racist and still voted for him because they believe the 'swamp' rhetoric. And these were highly educated and traveled people. But with a fundamental attitude towards Washington that was so ingrained they mostly couldn't explain it or justify it without resorting to rhetoric.
And with this in mind I do say that 'Not everyone who supports Trump is racist, but all the racists support Trump'. Same goes for Farage, Wilders, Le Pen et al.
Trump inherited his wealth, and has learned only to lie, grift and screw over other people with it. It means nothing to him because he never worked a day for it. His own kids are genuine idiots who if they weren't rich would be utter trailer trash. They are a walking advertisement for a 90% inheritance tax.
footage after the shooting show a dozen officers stuck behind a a wire fence
this lansdowne riot type incompetence, remember riot cops trying enter stadium through locked gate
anyone I know personally who admires Trump is racist (borderline or openly) and/or a misogynist. In my opinion Trump enabled them to let the mask slip. This is my experience before anyone tells me I’m making wild general accusations. I wouldn’t tolerate acts of violence or threats against him but I detest the man and what he has brought out in others.
He's a rapist.
He is a rapist. Moreover he is a blatant misogynist and known pederast.
Note that I didn't claim that people can't switch parties. I said it would be a rare bird to go from Republican to Democrat. You'll find it's mostly Democrats to Republicans.
He’s also quite possibly going to be the next POTUS- but I wouldn’t state that fact here either or you’ll be accused of “defending Trump” and sex offenders in general - and don’t dare mention the polls in the swing states- they don’t like that either -the way I see it, the further down the polls Biden gets, the more hysterical some posters become shutting down any factual discussion
trump arriving at the hospital, ppl heard he was bleeding from his head
where the two guys in army camo pictured standing over crook's body come from, and which org?
guy said the police snipers were in a second story window, it must be the building which partially overlooks the roof he shot from, could they not see him from there? only if they stuck their heads out the windows? (ignore the jill biden stuff)https://www.google.ie/maps/place/Butler+Farm+Show+Inc./@40.8574001,-79.9709388,119a,35y,39.34t/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x88337d9afc83da3f:0x92ffe08b085eb97e!8m2!3d40.855805!4d-79.972949!16s%2Fg%2F1tghdst7?entry=ttu
theres a door from that second story out on to the first floor roofs, if they were in the second story they could have checked the roofs easily.
why would report a 20 year old missing after a couple of hours….? only if you had concerns about him already… oh says he called after shooting… https://www.lbc.co.uk/news/thomas-crooks-father-called-police-on-the-day-of-donald-trump-rally-shooting/

Projection. Every accusation is an admission.
Have you proof the judge was corrupt? Is the Jury in that case also corrupt? Honestly, you guys seem to scream corrupt whenever something doesn't go his way.
A judge said he can be called a rapist. Good enough for me. The man is a rapist.
Comment is free, but facts are sacred
Trump is a vile human but he doesn't seem to have been convicted of rape
Did the judge call him a rapist in his judgement?
