I didn't realize you guys were related.
Shame trump isn’t a drinker. Slamming a beer and pumping that fist would have been one of the greatest WHITEBOYSUMMER moments in history
According to the witness on TV who saw him shot, that's all BS, and the dude was killed instantly.
Finally, we get word. Biden will be making a statement shortly.
Biden sends his thoughts and prayers and knows that Reagan will pull through
J13 has just surpassed J6 in importance in American history.
Okay, so Fox is doing the Fox thing, in that they may be trying to keep it professional, but they are also reporting all speculation they come across and simply excusing it by saying, "we can't confirm this." It's like watching Twitter on television.
I almost built him a gazebo once.
If you come up, I’ll have a TV outside tuned to NewsMax for you.
“Staged” & “One Job” are two of the 5 biggest trending topics on X right now, with one job being a collection of memes expressing disappointment the job wasn’t carried out. Tell me again that it’s just the right & Trumpers that are deranged & uncivil.
Not saying this isn’t true but it seems highly unlikely. There was nothing near him that I saw that could have created shrapnel. He was standing on a stage.
Biden just said "My Vice-President was shot, someone should have woke me up."
My oldest, her hubby and 4 grandkids are 3 days into a 10 day trip to the Smokey Mountains in Tennessee.
I hope there is calm, but it's Tennessee so who knows.
God no, I say often there is no difference between the far left and the far right. Both will believe anything if it confirms their suspicion.
Putting you on notice. I dropped my minion off at five. My daughter has friends over. And I’m on my third margarita. And I’ll be in your neighborhood the third week of august.
Glass teleprompter is what I’m hearing
Holy cow, that is where my oldest went and is coming back from. That area is deep red, not a front line for a civil war
....what you're hearing from Newsmax.
You do realize that this country was formed on political violence and has been kept a Republican democracy by political violence. It is the only way you can remain a country in today's world. It's time the silent majority in this country realize what is going on and man hp.
Also suspending campaign ads. Very classy move
Dude I’m not vouching for anything. Just posting what I hear. The truth won’t shake out for days.
There were reports that a bullet hit a telepromter and then glass from that hit him.
Looking at the video again, both Tele Promters were totally intact. I imagine there will be a lot of speculation that gets mentioned for the next several hours.
Because societal norms are as such that saying anything detrimental about a person, no matter how innocuous, who has had some type of life threatening event is seen as being highly disrespectful to that person. We are almost obligated to wish him well as saying anything else will be met with assumptions and accusations that the person actually welcomed that event. Which is what many are assuming.
Adding to that and exasperating it, is an existing tribalism in where both tribes take offense to anything said about their tribe and exaggerate its importance to denigrate the character of the opposing side.
If you read his statements, he's just being matter of fact, and his intent was not to be disrespectful to the event's importance or disregard the danger to Trump. His contempt for the person has nothing to do with the event. It will not change his opinion of him but it doesn't mean he's happy about it. Why is that so hard to understand?
The mistake he made was not adhering to the rules noted in the first paragraph. @Aloha Hoosier you need to read the room better. fwiw - It doesn't offend me in the least, I'm not emotional, especially during crisis events. I prefer matter of fact.
The most offensive posts in this thread is where some drunken moron claims it's a leftist assassination attempt. Deep state wouldn't have missed, would have used a better weapon, and wouldn't fire six f**king shots ..
The abject stupidity of those type of posts are far more offensive and destructive and yet *crickets* from y'all ... it's just dumb Joe being dumb Joe. Let's pile on Aloha ...
Which is the same damn dynamic being displayed on the national level ... Trump lies 100 times on stage while constantly saying offensive rotten shit and yet, Biden is nitpicked for the most infinitesimal flaws and missteps ..
Stupidity and lack of character has been normalized to the point that the people who are stupid that constantly post dumb conspiracy shit who truly lack character as they are willing to post unfounded half truths or lies, are never held to a measure of accountability for their glaring flaws. The only people being held to a measure of integrity and character are those who possess those traits.
They have to hit him with six amphetamines first.
