ClintonB Posted July 14 Posted July 14 I thought it might have been a stunt at first, but for the person in the crowd being killed. all sides and allies saying they don’t condone violence in the political arena is a bit hypocritical considering the USA’s love affair with guns, violence and the war machine in general. 1 1
onetrack Posted July 14 Posted July 14 Trump has regularly been calling for violence and assaults against political opponents, and those in his employment who have deserted him. He wants those he views as "treasonous" (i.e., spoken against him, or against his policies), killed. He specifically stated he wanted Mike Pence "hung". He wants to put Liz Cheney on a military tribunal trial for opposing him (even though she has never been part of any military organisation - such is Trumps dangerous idiocy). He has promoted violence, assaults and overthrow of the Nations prime seat of political governance. He can look in the mirror to see the primary reason for the violent act of attempted assassination against him. This article is from 4 years ago! His warmongering rhetoric has only gotten worse since that time. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/blame-abc-news-finds-17-cases-invoking-trump/story?id=58912889 1
rgmwa Posted July 14 Posted July 14 (edited) Ironic that the would-be assassin was a registered Republican. That’s a bit inconvenient. Edited July 14 by rgmwa 1 2

facthunter Posted July 14 Posted July 14 The USA has now passed the point of NO RETURN. Only a MIRACLE can save it from collapse and destruction from within. So much hate has been sown and it cannot be controlled. I'll bet guns and ammo sales are booming right now Get to know what Project 2025 is about. Any person who hasn't fully supported Trump will not be safe in the USA. Nev 2
onetrack Posted July 15 Posted July 15 The photo of Trump being hustled off the podium and pumping the air with his fist, with the Stars and Stripes filling the sky behind him, is now going to be constantly used by radical right wingers as a "heroes" shot, just like the Americans worship the photo of the Marines raising the Stars and Stripes on Iwo Jima on Feb 23, 1945. It's the "combat" glory he's always sought - even though he's a noted draft dodger - he still wants to be seen as a war hero. He'll probably get a special medal struck for himself - "I took a bullet for your freedom!!!" 3
facthunter Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Deep down he's very shallow and also a wimp and a Bully. About the Last person who should be the C in C of the USA and have access to the red button.. USA abandon hope all ye who enter here. It's all self inflicted and predictable by anyone with 1/2 a Brain (cell??). Nev 1 1

More likely, Trump has rehearsed what to do on stage in the event of something like that happening. He's smart enough to know that in that type of situation he can either look weak or strong depending on his actions at the time. The Secret Service broke their own protocol by allowing him to stick his head up and do it, and making himself a clear target in the process. A lot of them will be getting their backside kicked. 1 1
rgmwa Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Image means everything to Trump. It's all he's ever had to try and cover up his deeply flawed character. 1
facthunter Posted July 15 Posted July 15 He can't tolerate LOSING and NOT getting his way. He's a spoilt BRAT with a non existent awareness of reality. Nev 1 1

old man emu Posted July 15 Author Posted July 15 It can be said that the Roman Empire collapsed in 476 when the Visigoths from Central Europe sacked Rome. The number 476 is divisible by 4. The number 2024 is divisible by 4. Perhaps we are witnessing the collapse of the Empire of the United States. When I looked up information about the fall of the Roman Empire, Wikipedia came up with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_the_Western_Roman_Empire If you read the first three paragraphs, and replace "Roman Empire" with "United States" the effect is eerie. 2 1
onetrack Posted July 15 Posted July 15 "The Killing of America" is a Japanese film that was produced in 1981 and it's a doco that examines Americans longstanding obsession with murder - random murders, political murders, race-hate murders, murderous hatred of anyone different to themselves, murders spawned by jealousy, murders involving the darkest sides of human behaviour. Many American murderers are seemingly normal people - but they harbour deep, intense hatreds, and these are fed by constant reinforcement, via pervasive exposure to extreme violence, threats - and a ready and guaranteed access to firearms. There is no way back for these people, they are certainly a nation in decline. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Killing_of_America 1 1
red750 Posted July 15 Posted July 15 After the shooting, the red T-shirt. red hat brigade were out there shouting "Fight, fight, fight, to save our democracy." There is no democracy to save. Trunp is now, more than ever, considered a super hero. He's all image and no substance. I thought he may change the gun laws so that only verified Republican supporters can buy guns, but the shooter was a Republican supporter from reports I have heard. Also, he had explosives in his car. What else was he planning? 1
facthunter Posted July 15 Posted July 15 I believe the start of it relates to the days of slavery and cotton growing. Thats where the BIG money was made before oil.. Nev 1

A quarter of all numbers are divisible by 4. Correlation <> causation.
facthunter Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Fights with the Indians and the British were foundational stuff. Some of these whackos reckon the British are still a threat. Remember the McCarthy Purges and the acting fraternity being picked on. As bad as the Spanish Inquisition. conspiracy theories have always found ready acceptance. Weird CULTS abound. About 7% believe the earth is flat. They are at significant risk of becoming a theocracy like IRAN is but a Quasi-Christian based one which would be just as bad though they wouldn't accept that proposition out of prejudice and WE ARE the GOODIES here, self- indoctrination..

I wrote that with a sense of irony. Of course there is no correlation, save that both numbers are divisible by four. But it made you stop and think, didn't it? Gotcha!
facthunter Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Anything other countries do is UN-AMERICAN and thereby inferior.. USA is God's Country.. Isolationism is not the way today. America made a lot of money out of WW2. Eisenhower warned of the excessive Influence of the Military Industrial Complex in Americas thinking. inventiveness. ability design and quality once led the world. Now they lead the world with GUN ownership and allow a maniac to be their new messiah while onlookers can only watch and wonder WTF and how will this end? Nev 1
