Merged Trump shot in PA??

[The Atheist]

God saved him.

/cult

That's the one I've been waiting for, and it's the perfect sales pitch.

The insane already believe Trump, with all his sins, is the embodiment of Cyrus, and surviving an assassination attempt with only a scratch is a clear example of divine intervention.

He will have a mandate from the people of America and god herself.

Yee-Haw!

I'm trying to make sense of what you said, and I'm failing in more than one way.

Funny thing, your avatar perfectly represented my reaction. I hope it didn't come across as rude.

Not at all.

I think the world would be a safer place if Trump had been taken out, but I don't agree with trying to kill him. Is that clear? I'm not sure how else I can put it.

 

[Bogative]

This coward who tucked tail and bolted to the WH bunker in the basement when protesters were on the other side of the fence..

It was Trump's decision to tuck tail and run to the bunker and not that of the Secret Service?

The bunker you're talking about was part of 9/11 truther conspiracy theories for years. Your conspiracy theory is just as retarded as theirs.

That’s what I was thinking. Second amendment types are always saying they need their guns because they might have to get rid of the government. Here is a ex and possibly future president who was involved in an insurrection. Wouldn’t this qualify?

My stepson watches "Demolition Ranch" frequently. There's plenty of stuff demonstrating and showing off weapons. Very little politics, not even implied. It's not something you could count on to "radicalize" anyone.

I'm sure the kind of gun nuts you're thinking of like the show, but it's not where they get extreme ideology from.

 

[gnome]

Because they were all in on it, it was a choreographed false flag with crisis actors and it was just meant to further Trump's ploy as always being the victim, hence more $.

You really believe Donald Trump exists? Go stick your head in the sand with the other sheeple.

It seemed to me they were celebrating the assassination attempt.
Heh maybe I am wrong.
Why would the laser be in.play.
New Zealand media are not graduated from kindergarten.

that clip has been doctored, and it mixes in footage from over a year ago with footage of the assassination attempt. It's definitely NOT news people in NZ reacting to Trump's shooting.

Do better.

It looks like Crooks is fitting the profile of so many shooters: young, white male who is/was a bullied loner in school.

Jason Kohler, who said he attended the same high school but did not share any classes with Crooks, said Crooks was bullied at school and sat alone at lunch time. Other students mocked him for the way he dressed, such as hunting outfits, Kohler said.

“He was bullied almost every day,” Kohler told reporters. “He was just a outcast, and you know how kids are nowadays.”

Crooks’ political leanings were not immediately clear. Records show Crooks was registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania, but federal campaign finance reports also show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on Jan. 20, 2021, the day President Joe Biden was sworn into office.

Law enforcement recovered an AR-style rifle at the scene of the shooting, according to a person familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.

Investigators believe the weapon was bought by the father at least six months ago, two law enforcement officials told AP.

Not an unreasonable guess

FWIW this is extremely common here in Utah. The state Republican committee allows only registered Republicans to vote in their primaries. Since we're an extremely red state, it's usually a foregone conclusion that any Republican candidate will prevail over any Democrat (and occasionally runs unopposed for some offices). Registering insincerely as a Republican is often the only way some voters have any meaningful say over who will be elected.

/sigh I thought a skeptic forum would at least be somewhat of a haven away from the conspiracy nonsense.

This place hasn't been a skeptic forum for over a decade, or since Trump entered politics.

There is not a half-baked retarded left-wing conspiracy theory that most posters here won't fall for.

It's the left-wing version of Prison Planet.

I found some images of Thomas Crooks when he was getting ready to shoot trump and after Crooks himself had been shot dead. At top is Crooks preparing to shoot. He's lying in the prone position atop the roof of a shed. The first image I saw this morning was much clearer but has now been blurred.

This image below shows law enforcement standing over a fatally wounded Thomas Crooks.

I thought it was pretty easy to change your name in the USA. Isn't it?
William Patrick Hitler did!

The current supreme Court interprets all politically subjective rulings to favour Trump. No one knows what they went do to protect him. The 6th January insurrection is going to be impossible to persecute now.

Oh look, you managed at least one truthful word. Good job.

 

[shemp]

That could possibly be his motive. Perhaps he wanted to show the world that he wasn't an unimportant loser. This is not the way to do that of course.

Did he give a reason why?

It was Trump's decision to tuck tail and run to the bunker and not that of the Secret Service?

No, it wasn't Trump's decision to tuck tail and run to the bunker. It was Trump's decision to tuck tail and inspect the bunker:

Of the Secret Service whisking him and his family into a bunker underneath the White House amid protests outside the building on Friday night, Trump said this:

“Well it was a false report. I was down during the day and I was there for a tiny, little short period of time. And it was much more for an inspection. There was no problem during the day.”
“I’ve gone down two or three times, all for inspection. And, you go there, some day you may need it. I went down. I looked at it. It was during the day, and it was not a problem. And I read about it, in like, a big thing. There was never a problem … nobody ever came close to giving us a problem.”
“…They said it would be a good time to go down, take a look, because maybe some time you’re going to need it.”

This re-framing of history is remarkable solely for the gall it takes to attempt it. After all, every single major media organization reported over the weekend – with NO pushback from the White House – that Trump had been taken into the bunker for his own protection, not to, uh, “inspect” it.
Donald Trump’s ‘bunker’ story tells you everything you need to know about him (CNN, June 3, 2020)

The inspection just happened to take place "amid protests outside the building." It was entirely coincidental that the "tiny, little short" inspection occurred during the protests.

The bunker you're talking about was part of 9/11 truther conspiracy theories for years. Your conspiracy theory is just as retarded as theirs.

Yeah, right!

 

[dann]

Did he give a reason why?

I haven't seen any. Many he thought that Stuart-Houston sounded less Jewish.

 

[William Parcher]

I think I read that it was a .223 rifle. Anybody have information on that?

I wish all the stupid people on earth agreed with my impeccable brilliance too. But then they wouldn’t be stupid.

Phew! For a moment there, we all thought you were going to recommend it!
