And as I said in the political violence thread- unfortunately this will not happen because we've allowed outrage to be commodified.

Yeah I said the fan wasn't some innocent person like you tried to paint it as.

"he shouldn't have punched the fan repeatedly" Is the inability to read the source of your anger?

Find his quote then...I'd love to see it too. Hell I'll call him a liar with you.

Because the fan threw something at him and hit him as he lay on a table doing nothing at that moment. I mean- he shouldn't have punched the fan repeatedly but don't pretend like the fan did nothing wrong. It was more important that Trump be able to tell Fox & Friends they had an exclusive.

I don't have a side.

This is still silly and stupid. Stop being a fear mongering dope.

A massive problem is that outrage has become a commodity in the political world. Both people on the right and the left can sell it and can make money off of it. Political influencers make money on Youtube and on tours and all of that and it becomes very easy to demonize someone by saying purposely inflammatory garbage to make someone else the villain. You have politicians who go on FOX News or MSNBC, or any of the other 24/7 news channels that just want content and they get that when the 12th representative from Alabama or California goes on there and finger points at the opposite side and calls them the downfall of democracy. Then you have people who are on their phones or computers most of their waking moments looking at one article which leads to recommended articles like that one which eventually spirals into an echo chamber that doesn't challenge but rather just reinforces their beliefs they already held. And then the counter to that is to create manufactured debate to get likes and sell tickets and raise money. We've fallen so far in political discourse from where we were even 20 or 30 years ago and it's only going to get worse in the wake of this.

Other than him being white and his name- where was anything else reported regarding the last two descriptors.

This is all silly. Stop being a fear mongering dope.

If true that might help explain his shooting ability to some degree. Probably saw a lot of practice on a range in his life.

That was said but sources on both the right and left both said that isn't confirmed and there is a lot of bad intel floating out there. It may ultimately be accurate but no authority figure in charge out there has said anything yet. Once their press conference is over we might have a stronger picture of things.

Bad grammar aside- great...so no attempt to try and lead change of any kind. It's a simple moment for a President to meet and he still is incapable of doing it.

That graphic will never be fully accurate no matter how many times it gets posted. As for the capture- good. I hope it is actually the right person this time and they deal with him accordingly. Bullsh!t like he pulled should not be tolerated. I'm also glad Trump got to be jokey about it and congratulate Ainsley for having breaking news on Fox & Friends.

So they say on the campaign trail they are going to release everything. February 27th, 2025 they make a huge production of giving binders to all these MAGA influencers and call it "The Epstein Files: Phase 1." Before that Bondi said there is a list sitting on my desk. Then in July they say "There is no list" and try to make it as some Democrat conspiracy. Why wouldn't they consult all their legal advice and everything before they started putting anything else or popping off at the mouth? Furthermore, I didn't say a birthday card was like enacting federal law you dink. I said people say Trump is a genius but then also say he is just signing things in a similar way as Biden was without reading it. Which is something you floated on page 58 here. I'd have far more respect if you'd say what is almost assuredly the correct answer- they never had any intention of releasing anything from the list. No one does.

Are you having a breakdown or threatening yourself?

Stop making stupid ass arguments then. That would solve a lot of your issues you want to grieve

I'll do what all the MAGA mooks here do: What did you say after Paul Pelosi was attacked? What did you say after the Minnesota incident? What did you say when they tried to set the PA governor's mansion on fire?

Trump is simultaneously the smartest man alive and signing things like Joe Biden was accused of. Deep disconnect

MAGA mooks didn't make it 12 seconds before they went with their tired rhetoric yesterday. All while a poor guy tried to hang on to life.

Oh noes!!!!....well I for one will miss your usual level of even handed debate.

There have been handwriting experts who say it does match though as well. https://institut-gouvernance.org/news/one-handwriting-expert-spotted-something-very-telling-donald-trumps-use-straight-lines-his-signature/ And there is this good op-ed which discusses the line of defense the Trump team is using and where there might be holes in it: https://archive.ph/TlvE3

Democrat governor gets the job done. (I'm being purposely ridiculous here by pointing out the silliness of the MAGA mooks in the Kirk thread trying to politicize every aspect of everything)

There is no organized group. The person was a lone wolf. They weren't lucky. They were a skilled shot who executed a guy on a college campus that allows open carry at an outdoor event with spotty security all over the place. The person planned this out- I'd imagine for a long period of time and pulled it off. Hopefully they find him but the feds have put themselves behind the 8 ball on all of this and have some catching up to do

Maybe look up the word "hypocrisy" and then read the Kirk thread and then this one and apply the term to the MAGA mooks. HTH
