The Frankish Reich Posted July 15 Posted July 15 15 minutes ago, B-Man said: The Immaculate Conception of Thomas Crooks Had Saturday’s assassination attempt been carried out against President Joe Biden, we have no doubt we would have read about how the right’s dangerous rhetoric was behind it. We are old enough to remember more than a decade back when former Alaska governor Sarah Palin’s use of crosshairs imagery to identify congressional districts—or, as the Atlantic’s James Fallows put it, "extreme, implicitly violent political rhetoric and imagery"—was fingered as an incitement for former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords’s (D., Ariz.) shooter. (He was, in fact, a deranged individual with no discernible motivation, political or otherwise.) We could go on: The media fatuously attributed a Georgia spa shooting in 2021 to right-wing, anti-Asian hatred while the motivations of the left-wing lunatic who almost took out Rep. Steve Scalise (R., La.) and other Republican lawmakers on a baseball field in 2017 went studiously unexamined. Plenty of poisonous rhetoric has been flying around on the left for the past decade. Biden is waging a campaign whose only argument, expressed with intermittent coherency, is that democracy is on the ballot. "We’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bull’s eye," Biden told donors last week. Even in the 2022 midterms he was scaremongering in front of Washington, D.C.’s Union Station, telling voters that the race was about "democracy itself" and a Republican victory would "allow dark forces to thirst," whatever that means. The New Republic and others compare former president Donald Trump to Hitler. We don’t know whether those moronic and misguided talking points led Thomas Crooks to try to assassinate Trump, but there are a few things we do know. The Democratic Party has bathed itself in violent and hysterical rhetoric about Trump. See above. And yet, the Democratic Party has consistently egged on Trump in the belief that he is the weakest possible standard bearer for the GOP. Trump is a force of nature, a unique political talent, and a showman who at the moment of maximum danger yesterday was at his finest. As it turns out, the Republican primary voters who nominated him see things clearly. The media are a spectacularly incompetent and ineffectual arm of the Democratic Party that has done more to empower Trump’s rise and resurrection than any other institution in American life. Their raison d’etre is defeating Trump and they’re about to go 1 for 3. The ultimate dissonance comes from the well wishes of Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and other pooh-bas of the Democratic Party. "Get well soon, Donald, so you can get back to destroying our democracy!" Either they didn’t actually believe their self-interested talking points about Trump the tyrant or they are coming to the realization that the public doesn’t buy it. https://freebeacon.com/democrats/the-immaculate-conception-of-thomas-crooks/ Another incredibly lazy "the MSM is against us" take. Here's the mainstream WSJ's take: The shooter alone is responsible for his actions. But leaders on both sides need to stop describing the stakes of the election in apocalyptic terms. Democracy won’t end if one or the other candidate is elected. Fascism is not aborning if Mr. Trump wins, unless you have little faith in American institutions. We agree with former Attorney General Bill Barr’s statement Saturday night: “The Democrats have to stop their grossly irresponsible talk about Trump being an existential threat to democracy—he is not.”

The point is the guy said on stage in front of thousands that he wishes the current leading candidate for President was murdered. That point goes miles over its head is not surprising. TDS. Not really, just mocking the "durr we're gonna boycott Jack Black" take. It's about as stupid as "cancelling" a celeb. 56 minutes ago, BillsFanNC said: Roundy is right on point as usual.

Irv Posted July 15 Posted July 15 (edited) Is anyone surprised this didn't happen earlier or if it will happen again? Dems are desperate. Horribly desperate. What's next? Bomb? Plane Crash? Slip in Shower? Poison? Electrocution? The Clintons are running out of options. What a mess. Edited July 15 by Irv 1

Tommy Callahan Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Blue anon is flowing today. The comments of the lefties reads like cognitive dissonance. And is laughable on levels

And is laughable on levels Yes, it's a stupid take. They're saying Trump is going to take a different tack in his speech. I really hope so, but I'm not optimistic. This is as stupid as the "what was really going on with Paul Pelosi?" crap. He was shot. Period. Sometimes crazy/bad things happen because there are crazy/bad people out there. 1
Bermuda Triangle Posted July 15 Posted July 15 Surely, any minute now we should be getting detailed medical reports regarding the injury suffered by Trump, and the ensuing treatment, right? 1

Over and over again while up voting each other. Now the same narrative is on the comments for many msm stories

They already reported he got a cat scan and only needed stitches. You also want the autopsy from the dead bystander? Details on the other wounded people? Derp, derp Blue anon has the script and is trying so hard to say it was staged and not an attempt. When the same voices would be demanding camps and martial law if a moron shot Biden.

I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night. He got part of his ear blown off, they threw a few stitches in it and covered it with a bandage. You’re welcome.

I saw that a precautionary CT scan was conducted, but saw nothing about the injury only requiring stitches. Just thought that the physical and mental well-being of the candidates was newsworthy and important. Didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. 1

Get the ***** out of here. AOC showed the kid her bewbies while Bernie Sanders bankrolled the op with his gold from China… Al franken tried to grab AOC's bewbies, but that had nothing to do with the assassination attempt… Soros hired fake secret service agents and Alec Baldwin turned out to be the actual shooter.
