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

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

Someone with his level of interest in building computers and playing games wouldn't be that dumb. With more information coming out it turns out he was actually really accurate - one of the bystander victims was hit twice. I thought all his shots after the first would have gone all over the place. This was a kid who was booted from the rifle team for being a terrible shot, so this strengthens my suspicion that Crooks is being used as a patsy, possibly after being killed, and that someone else did the shooting, probably someone with a history of leftist ties that would be harmful to the narrative. The shooter was quite a good shot who nearly hit his target under a lot of duress and knowing he was probably about to die.

This is a red herring to me. Sure, he was removed from the rifle team, but that was early in high school. How do we know he didn't practice more after that, and the reason he never rejoined the team was because he hated the kids there or he wasn't allowed back because he was a creepy incel type? I don't see any evidence there was a second shooter. The only reason there would be a second shooter is if the whole thing was a false flag to get Trump in office.

the idiom you're looking for is "The shoe is now on the other foot". the fact that progs are getting fired at all means the overton window has shift right real fast. these are all good things.

The reason this is happening is because the elite know this could really, really fuck them in the ass. If random people are allowed to take potshots at politicians they don't like, then that will apply to the other team too. I really hate a lot of leftist politicians and bureaucrats enough to celebrate their deaths, and millions (including many people here) think like me. Think of the carnage if even 1 in 1000 people who think like that decided to cross the line and actually go shoot some leftists. It would overwhelm all the federal law enforcement and push us to actual civil war.

Therefore the elite is finally reigning in their goons and telling them to shut up and not celebrate violence. Because they know that a lot of people are watching, and they know that it could be their people next time.

that his entire plan hinged on a roof that 100% should have been covered conveniently not being covered - had it been, he would have immediately been foiled with no fall back

My concern about this theory is that if he has a remote detonator then his fallback is to simply press the button and cause some deaths. To him, he would be taking our supporters of fascism, so it would be considered as a win.

"Bad shot" by rifle team definition doesn't mean you can't hit the broad side of a barn. It means you can't put two rounds on top of each other. Someone who gets cut from the basketball team is still probably a better ball player than most kids, he's just not good enough for varsity.

CIA typically use two shooters. Look at both Kennedys

Leftists Sowing For Over A Decade: "HAHA YEAH, FUCK YEAH, FUCK YOU, HAHA! I HOPE YOU DIE POOR ON THE STREETS!"
Leftists Reaping: "AHHHH! NO! NO! WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?! WHERE ARE YOUR MORALS?! "

Fucking sucks, doesn't it?

I've seen many people publicly sparring with Destiny over his callous and shitty attitude over the death of the Trump rallygoer, and it usually just devolves into whataboutism, but I haven't seen any yet lay it out basically like this: When Destiny says shitty things like "I'll make fun of you if you get your head blown off at a Trump rally" he is implying that getting your head exploded by sniper fire should be an expected outcome of going to a Trump rally, and one would be a fool for publicly supporting Trump is such a manner and expecting not to be in mortal danger. There is no way that he isn't knowingly and gleefully normalizing deadly violence against normie random Trump supporters. He's an exceedingly evil little shithead.

This is why I have no sympathy for the manlet and I want him to get the AJ treatment. It's about sending a god-damned message .

Right now the liberals have established the rules of engagement. Now that they no longer have the upper hand, we need some pretty strong assurances that they are willing to negotiate common ground before we stop using their rules against them.

They deserve to go through this hell for at least four years. They put everyone to the right of Stalin through it for a decade.

Unless they got Deadshot from Suicide Squad to be the shooter, do not see how this could could be faked.
And this shithead wasn’t Deadshot by far.
Maybe allowed to happen by the government, but not a full on staging.

Guys, if we defend against the left, they win! We can't go down to their level, we must find dignity in defeat.

We're better than them! If we allow them to continue flinging shit at us without giving it back, then we'll prove to everybody that we're the bigger person!

They should suffer through this for at least a decade if not longer.

 

[AncientPhosphur]

If you still feel bad about a lib suffering the same things they've been doing to us for a decade, you're just a massive faggot and should probably neck yourself.

My heart has been hardened by years of seeing people lose their jobs over the most basic thing as supporting Trump. Saying men can’t be women, and leftists wanting to put me in camps for refusing the jab. I won’t blink an eye as they call me a snowflake when they lose their job calling for an assassination.

What is the reason for the trump shooter not having a thread?

 

[Yeeted Teet]

Over 2000 messages since he joined this June

They signed up 35 days ago. That's 89 messages per day, every day since they signed up. Assuming they sleep for 8 hours, that's a rate of just under 6 messages every waking hour, or nearly one every ten minutes. The calculations assume they do not work, prepare food, or socalise in real life.

Devils advocate on the sloped roof: I think what the director meant was that if there was a choice between the sloped roof and the window and you can still see where you need to see for the mission, the window is preferred. The other sniper position didn't have the option, so they stayed on the roof. That's fine, you just still need to guard from SOMEONE ELSE getting on the roof. You should have had that either way because the snipers aren't going to be paying much attention to their rears.

the remote detonator is just something said days after the fact to rile up the public and news cycle. without even a picture or description of it, we're just going on the trustworthiness of the very people whose trustworthiness is currently in question. seems pretty naïve

Has this been posted? I've seen a few posts saying the ActBlue donation was a different Matthew Crooks but that has now been deboonked apparently.

Fact Check: Yes, Trump Rally Shooter Once Donated Money to a Democratic Cause​

Article (Archive)

Claim:

Thomas Crooks, the 20-year-old man who attempted to assassinate former U.S. President Donald Trump, once donated money to a political action committee aligned with the Democratic Party.

Rating:

Rating: True

Following the attempted assassination of former U.S. President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024, reporters and online sleuths scoured public records to see whether they could infer the shooter's motive.

With that digging, two seemingly conflicting rumors emerged about the 20-year-old shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks. First, he was supposedly registered to vote as a Republican. (Snopes confirmed the legitimacy of that claim in a separate fact check.) Second, he had allegedly donated money to a Democratic-leaning political action committee on the day President Joe Biden took his oath of office, Jan. 20, 2021.

That latter assertion also was true. Crooks, who was shot dead by law enforcement after opening fire at the Trump rally, indeed donated $15 to the Progressive Turnout Project, a PAC that aims to get Democrats to vote, according to Federal Election Commission. The record shows the donation occurred on Jan. 20, 2021.

That said, some social media users claimed a 69-year-old Pittsburgh man with the same name as Trump's would-be assassin — Thomas Crooks — had actually made that donation.

Several X users made that argument with copy-and-pasted text began, "Another MAGA talking point down the drain."

The argument rested, largely, on two facts: that an older, unrelated Thomas Crooks with a connection to the city of Pittsburgh existed, and that the in-question FEC records listed Pittsburgh as the donor's city.

Based on a search of public records, it is true that several individuals, including a 69-year-old man, named "Thomas Crooks" have or have had a connection to Pittsburgh. However, there was no evidence connecting these individuals to the in-question $15 donation to the Democratic-leaning PAC; the FEC filing lists a street address and ZIP code that don't exist in Pittsburgh.

However, when looking at the FEC filing for the donation, nearly every field was an exact match to the other Thomas Crooks — Trump's would-be assassin. In particular, that Thomas Crooks lived in Bethel Park, a Pittsburgh suburb. Authorities confirmed that the shooter was from Bethel Park, and voter registration records, among other things, provide his specific address.

The donation to the Progressive Turnout Project was made through ActBlue, which is another Democratic PAC that serves as a fundraising platform. Many political groups and campaigns use ActBlue for fundraising. As a result, FEC records show such donations as contributions to ActBlue, with notes indicating the specific target of the money. In this case, the note said, " earmarked for Progressive Turnout Project."

The full address associated with the donation appears within a February 2021 FEC document (page 189,746) listing all of Act Blue's donations during the previous month. That street address and ZIP code match the home of the shooter, according to a public records search and photos of police searching the home.

Considering that address match, and the fact that the location on the in-question FEC filing does not exist in Pittsburgh, evidence favors the conclusion that the shooter made the donation — not someone else with the same name.

The idiots who programmed the bot didn't realize only two of the three apply to us.

The Great Alex Jones has made some alarming claims vis-à-vis an ongoing conspiracy to harm President Trump. Jones has been right before with some of his claims that at the time were thought to be outlandish.

There's honestly fuck all info out there about him.

I think he was just a completely unremarkable person who lived on the internet and had no real impact on the real world.

Sad, many such cases.

My concern about this theory is that if he has a remote detonator then his fallback is to simply press the button and cause some deaths. To him, he would be taking our supporters of fascism, so it would be considered as a win.

I feel like the bombs would have been set on some kind of a timer then, because he would have had to know it was a suicide run. Either you set off your bombs before/simultaneously, or you set them up to explode later, because you know you won't live to press the button. But then again, he was stupid and his plan was so stupid it should never have even slightly come close to working, so.

Here here. As a Christian, I'm so irritated at the fact that a bunch of paranoid boomers went around sperging about the evils of Pokemon and Harry Potter as if that didn't single-handedly make believers look like the biggest clowns on the planet. It undoubtedly drove a lot of people from the faith.

Saying a MTF tranny isn't a woman got me IP banned/blacklisted from every mainstream social media that really is all it takes.
