Trump falls!! Hurt too

[Ford]

I'm just gonna leave this here: "I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters, OK?"

Yes, probably a good idea to that there, as that joke isn't going anywhere. Trump wasn't the one doing any shooting today.

Probably a good idea to think 2 seconds about it, because my point was that Trump started the rhetoric.

Well if we're thinking about it for more than 2 seconds, rhetoric about political violence isn't something that started with Trump. But he sure as hell leaned into it. Encouraging his followers to "beat the shit out of him" at rallies, saying that he'd pardon people who committed political violence in his name, etc. And of course he's said that his next term - if he earns one - will be all about vengeance and retribution.

We don't know anything yet about the shooter, but it's a good bet to say that if nothing else, he figured that gun violence was the solution to whatever was ailing him. He (allegedly) climbed on a roof with a rifle and carried out his attack because whomever he was listening to said that a "2nd Amendment solution" was appropriate. "I have this problem here that's vexing me...and I have this gun...hmm..."

I watched this few hours ago. Youtube itself is one day old.

Wapo: Trump, in a Truth Social post Saturday night, said he was shot in his upper right ear and offered his thanks to law enforcement. He also extended his condolences to the families of a person who was shot and killed and another who was injured.
“It is incredible that such an act can take place in our Country,” he wrote.

Trump has multiple heads?

He was almost murdered. Not cool. The world is better without Trump, but not at the hands of another person.

What joke? While the motives of the shooter are unknown, Trump's incendiary language has polarized the US quite a bit. He has repeatedly condoned the use of violence and uses violent rhetoric often.

That is true. I’d much refer a stroke take him out. After he looses in November.

Political assassinations don't solve problems, they cause problems to burst into white hot flame.

Apparently, the shooter has been *tentatively* ID'd as Thomas Matthew Crooks and was wearing a Demolition Ranch (pro gun youtube channel) tshirt. So if you want a conspiracy;

 

[Patooka]

I boldly predict that his fundraising off of this is going to put up absolutely batshit insane numbers.

A bold move, Cotton!

(as I said earlier, I bet the photo of him with his fist in the air is already being printed on t-shirts. I mean, they did it with his mug shot)

That didn't take long...

Well, he's certainly two-faced, so...

Trump rally shooter identified as 20-year-old Pennsylvania man

The FBI identified the shooter, who is dead, as Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania. A motive was not clear.

www.nbcnews.com

Pennsylvania voter records listed a Thomas Matthew Crooks with the same address and birth date as a registered Republican, though it was not clear from the records when that was put in place.

The conspiracy theories are going to have very easy fodder.

 

[excreationist]

Some evangelical tried to assassinate the antichrist?

Revelation 13:3
"One of the beast’s heads seemed to have had a deadly wound. But the wound had been healed. The whole world was amazed and followed the beast."

Well it talks about some kind of wound at least. That just popped into my head though I don't really literally believe in the Bible.

Damn, looks like conspiracy.

One thing about a snjper, military usually. We know how stuffed with liberals the military is.

Well, he wasn't a very good sniper.

I thought it was fairly impressive shooting. He was 200 - 300 yards away according to the news. Only missed a kill by an inch or two.

I have seen reports that Trump's wound came from flying glass.

Seems more likely than a 1/4 inch miss at 100 yards with an AR15...

That would make sense, except Trump's people said he was shot.
