US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

 

[Hyper Vigilant Dumbass]

I am deeply troubled by the things I'm hearing. No one should celebrate the attempted assassination of a presidential candidate or former president. It doesn't matter what you feel about the parties or what your concerns are. That it would happen at all is a sign of very bad things to come.

Yes agreed. I will be praying for you friend.

I shouldn't care but I admit seeing thousands of comments like that kind of chills me. What drives a hivemind to that level of insanity?

I personally believe a lack of spiritual faith of any degree. People will put a human on a pedestal when they lack any spiritual identity. It doesn't have to be spiritual in terms of believing in a God, but it can be a way of life or a passion you can follow and be refined at.

Yea it's sad because those are the kinds of people that even if they don't day it they also want you dead they want your family to suffer and they want to laugh about it. It's pretty sick and grim.

Yeah agreed. Praying for you and everyone's health. I hope for the total victory of this community and I hope families can stick together even when not agreeing politically

It also bolsters the obvious inference that he was most likely fairly deep into the autism spectrum. That was the case with the guy who had a much less successful attempt on trump in 2016.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_Donald_Trump_Las_Vegas_rally_incident

Basically someone whose extremely limited understanding of the world is centered around an msm-fed autistic fixation that Trump is literally going to kill everybody and needs to be stopped.

I think there is alot of merit to this and it doesn't just apply to autistic shooter types also the elderly or even average people they don't look too hard into things and what they see most they believe. Good example is the fact that the guy is being labeled a republican even though it's clear he wasn't. Most people now believe that as fact and nothing will change it.

Is this real? It's dated "August 5", so I'm calling fake.

Edit: Another poster linked to their Twitter account where they've posted it, so it's definitely legit.

Hard to say. Time publishes an issue roughly every two weeks (here's a website that shows covers from recent issues) and the next issue is scheduled to be published tomorrow (7/15/2024) which would put the issue after it on the 29th of July. Occasionally they do skip a week though, in which case the 5th lines up as the next publication date.

All of that aside, if they wanted to sell some extra copies over what they normally do, I don't think there's a better cover picture that they could hope to use right now.

 

[Breadbassket]

Wasn't the building the shooter was on not even part of the area where the rally was held? I thought it was something for a nearby business but could be wrong.

 

[harmy.kook]

The coping is crazy. These are the exact same people saying all maga people are cultists yet claiming one of trump's own wanted to kill him. Despite the fact he donated to actblue 4 years ago

Again, look at the Trump Enslavement thread or the Lolcow thread.

It's fucking simple: TDS sufferers in-hiding

Tbf the idea that security is going to be perfect is dumb, unless you completely close off the public, there's going to be an opportunity for someone determined. Security is mostly for deterrence. For all the people saying they should have drones and extra people and yada yada that just means more noise for whoever is coordinating to filter out, the idea is your general reckless dude is caught or decides it isn't worth it, it's like a lock on your house, you can make it harder and harder to pick but if someone just uses charges to blast the front of the house in then all the locks in the world wont stop it. Security is mostly about theatre and deterrence and stopping any retard who flips a coin and decides to have a whack

I'd agree with you under different circumstances. It's not like this was like a shot from 600m away on one of hundreds of buildings in the area. Or someone in a large unscreened crowd of people like during an inaugural parade then yeah. This isn't some high bar of perfection and that people are being too hard on those poor little SS agents. The guy climbed on the closest building adjacent to the rally.

It's a total fuck up that got someone killed, there's really no excuse. If Trump had actually been killed this incompetence wouldn't have even been a debate but since he survived then it somehow this absolves the SS and state/local police of their retardation in many peoples minds. After seeing this shitshow I'd much rather have a private security company than the SS even if this was just a B-team.

I'll be quite frank. Biden can't win. 80% of the country thinks he is too old to be President.

Thats incredibly naive. The people of pennsylvania for example elected a stroke victim who couldn't even speak as their senator in 2022. A richboy, LARPing fake to the core stroke victim was elected senator over a republican.

A large part of the country and close to half the states are going to vote to elect Biden and would do so even if he were already dead. The path Trump has to winning is very narrow no matter what happens. Its more likely that not right now that he will win. But it wouldn't take much to change it.

 

[truthfullies]

So close. Less than an inch to the right, or if Trump hadn't turned his head at the last second.

It's probably better this way. If he had died we'd be hearing about it from cultists for decades.

 

[HodgePodgeRogerDodger]

You have to admit, the image with Trump's ear bleeding and his fist in the air is pretty badass

Even Cenk Yogurt has admitted that. Only literal paid shills cannot. Mister Armenian Genocide at least can say “Fuck that’s cool”.

 

[Trust Me I Know]

I really hope Destiny gets what he fucking deserves.

 

[Brian Oblivion]

I think he might have planted the rifle on that roof the day or night before the rally. I don’t see how he could have carried the rifle that day in view of everyone.

I believe there were some unconfirmed reports that people had seen a rando walking in a nearby field with a rifle an hour or so before the event for whatever that's worth.

 

[fenny]

I'm disappointed in some people I know and didn't think were retarded. Some of them flip out over people thinking school shootings are faked, went right to to the "oh he did WWE, he bladed his ear" in the immediate aftermath.

 

[Whiskey]

Years and more years of saying he's a man who is corrupt, coming after people, a "reincarnation of Hitler", non-stop slander usually does that.

This feels like 2016 all over again, even to someone who isn't from the U.S.A. What scares me is to hear people say "I wish he died". Well, what would happen if someone lose their edge and wished the opposite, upon the speaker? I know this is a hypothetical, and crazy scenario - yet do these people never think on what they are wishing upon themselves?

Personally I don't think the genie is going back into that bottle. Any place outside of reddit has more or less swapped its stances on moderation. I think most... I'm going to call them redditor types will self correct when they mouth of to family or others in public and are verbally corrected

 

[The Blue Morpho]

I think he might have planted the rifle on that roof the day or night before the rally. I don’t see how he could have carried the rifle that day in view of everyone.

Eyewitness claimed to see him scaling the ladder while carrying the rifle.

This dude claims he saw the shooter a couple of minutes before the shooting started:

Goddamn this cuck is such an annoying retard

Jeez, I knew Destiny was bad but I didn't think he was this bad.

 

[Hucklejo]

Why the fuck do so many of you care what some cuck faggot thinks?

Ehhh I wouldn't reach into psychological stuff until we actually see some posts or internet footprint of the guy. I was mostly making a joke but also interested in the internet forensics of these sort of things.

 

[thhrang]

Because he's a retarded lolcow and we're a lolcow website.

 

[repentance]

The CS guy was probably concerned that some local hillbilly cop agency had assets out there and it was not fully communicated, and he didn’t want to create a a blue on blue issue.

The counter snipers were both wearing uniforms which said POLICE on the back.

Didn't null just pop in to give us a heads up on archiving? Edit: thanks @Breadbassket . I'd also remove the identifier from the URL, anything past and including ?si= in a YouTube URL is just for data collection, you dont need it to link a video.

Remember to sanitize your stuff, bros.
