I Warned You All That This Was Going to Happen

[Road Runner]

I posted it back on May 30th before this happened.

Oh well that's just it. People just don't want to believe something until it happens even if all signs are pointing to it. Even then sometimes they won't believe it like AKA the election fraud. I also kept saying that if Biden got in the white house we wouldn't even have a country anymore. Nobody believed me then, but yet here we are today.

 

[JackOfNoTrades]

The media created it.

TRUMP IS HITLER - HE WILL END THE REPUBLIC - HE'S A RUSSIAN ASSET.

Pumped over the airwaves to gullible fools for nearly a decade now.

The media are only party as responsible as the Democrats for the predicament we find ourselves in.

No. The media reports things (save for alt-right media, they create content. ).
Trump helped create it. Pumped to his minions over the last decade.
Denigrate the people and institutions that have held our country together for almost 250 years, and you get what you got yesterday.

The fact that surada laughed at my OP means that she really needs to be investigated.

Yeah.

It's like the debate back in June - which now seems like eons ago.

The media and (somewhat) more reasonable Lefties on here were just aghast when they saw how frail and senile their so-called leader is.

Talk about a John McClane "Welcome to the party pal!" moment.

As someone who was a Democrat but allowed reality to seep in to my view points, I just have no sympathy for anyone that gullible at this point.

In 2016, 2020 - you get a mulligan.

In 2024?

You're a fucking stooge if you still believe anything the corporate media tells you about nearly anything.

Now that he has won expect more. He should pick Someone libs would hate to see more than him as President. Someone that would tear apart the establishment and burn the roots. We stand at the precipice of civil war. Libs have and they won't tolerate that , too much dirt to find. I would seize Obama's server and tear apart his house like they did Trump

That was Steve Bannon. He said he was a Leninist and wouldn't rest til he tore down the establishment. Pretty confusing times. Trump said he'd turn the GOP into the MAGA Worker's Party. Who is the proletariat this week?

I'm going to get caught up with all of the threads about what happened last night, but the reason I didn't make a comment about it last night is because one, I had company and two, I was getting caught up on all the news.


How many times have I said on here that the democrats (the shooter might have been registered as a Republican but he was no Republican.) were going to try to assassinate Trump if they knew that they couldn't win any other way? Definitely more than once.



To be quite honest with you guys though I didn't see it happening until after he won the election and I don't know what in the world was going on with secret service last night but the bullet was a fraction of an inch from being lodged in his brain so he was literally an inch away from death last night.



I don't care what your politics are on here, if you support this and wish that the bullet would have killed him then you need to be investigated by the police. Same exact thing with wishing Biden or Kamala Harris to be murdered. (If Biden was in his right mind I would probably call for legal euthanization after all of his crimes though.)



Anyways, thank God that Trump is okay and I pray to keep this man protected at all costs. The state of our country will be determined by whether or not we can get him back in the white house. We must continue to fight! Fight! Fight!

There are literally millions of Republican who do not like Trump and have supported Dem causes over the past few years.

That fact does not make them Democrats.

 

[Dante]

Trump was slapped with a gag order in N.Y. for the threats he leveled againt everyone involved in that case including witnesses. Guess you forgot about that so spare us the sermons until you take a good hard look at your boy who has been issuing threats against people for the past eight fucking years.

correct:

[MarcATL]

You get caught red handed and your only response is "nuh uh"?

 

[Road Runner]

As someone who was a Democrat but allowed reality to seep in to my view points, I just have no sympathy for anyone that gullible at this point.

Well if you used to be a democrat and you know how their mind works then tell me why that they wouldn't believe Republicans (as it wasn't just me saying it) for saying that democrats won't stop at anything including extreme violence to eliminate Trump from the race when I do believe that I even heard them saying it themselves before this happened.

Including murder or attempted murder?

 

[Carl in Michigan]

To be quite honest with you guys though I didn't see it happening until after he won the election

There will be attempts after, too

Including murder or attempted murder?

Fact: Trump was slapped with a gag order in N.Y. for the threats he leveled against everyone involved in that case including witnesses.

It isn't a great leap to see him wishing harm on his main opponent. Trump would probably celebrate shootings of Dems.

 

[Road Runner]

I thought so. I'm wondering how this will also affect his rallies or even if it will. From Trump's reaction to this though, I don't think that he's going to be scared away that easily. He seems even more pumped now as guess what mother fuckers!? Not only will I escape a prison sentence but I just escaped death too!!

A myriad of reasons.

Some are evil.

Some are just gullible buffoons who, even in 2024, still believe "The News" and think it is there to inform - and not to promote a sinister political agenda.

But when it comes right down to it?

They are mind numbingly prideful and stubborn people whose own narcissism prevents them from ever admitting they were wrong.

I'm not tooting my own horn here, just being honest:

The excruciating cognitively dissonant mental journey I embarked on back in May 2020 was not easy.

When you care deeply about politics, and you realize everything you assumed is pretty much wrong - and that you've been absolutely played - it is never easy.

And I suspect many people just aren't capable of that kind of introspection.

It also made it easier that, pre-MAGA, the Republican party truly sucked.

So the Democrats had a worthy foil.

But now?

Like I said, I don't care what anyone thinks:

If you still buy into ANY of the nonsense coming from the political Left in 2024, you're a complete tool not even worthy of discussion.

I'm done with these clowns.

Right now you need more medical attention than Trump and you're not even the one who got shot.

Trump made threats against everyone involved in the NY felony case and you people cheered him on and repeated those same threats.

But yet you still haven't told us how that warranted an attack on his life and he never even made these so called threats but even if he did do tell us how.

read the thread titles here posted by members of Trump's cult-of-personality

That kind of crap feeds into the minds of the crazies (I'd say a few here are crazed too).

A mass shooter once felt comfortable stopping by here on his way to terror. Why? He most likely felt he had sympatico, compadres here. Birds of a feather?

That said, the majority of whackos here are more blowhards than truly violent. Many speak outside the way they do here. They have to be surrounded by like-minded.

Nothing warrants a violent attack on innocents like those poor souls who got hurt in the crowd. Leaders in America? Sadly, it come with the territory.

Look at the threats against the Clintons, Obamas, Bidens, Reagans, Bushs. None of those people were ever as nasty and hateful as the Trumps are. The Trumps who celebrate, incite, and invite violence.

What is it people who support killing of innocents in battles around the world (mideast?) have written here? Actions have consequences.

"Nothing warrants a violent attack" is usually an empty phrase haters put side when the time comes.

Lawless violence fomenting Democrats are responsible.

President Joe Biden Condemns Trump Attack As 'Contrary To Everything We Stand For".

https://www.politico.com/news/2024/07/14/joe-biden-response-trump-shot-00168111

President Joe Biden on Sunday condemned the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump as “contrary to everything we stand for as a nation” and pledged a review of security measures for this week’s Republican National Convention in Milwaukee.

“There is no place in America for this kind of violence or any violence for that matter. An assassination attempt is contrary to everything we stand for as a nation,” Biden said in the Roosevelt Room, flanked by Vice President Kamala Harris, Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Attorney General Merrick Garland.

Biden said that he ordered an independent review of what occurred at the Trump rally. The president also said he would speak at greater length later Sunday night from the Oval Office on uniting as a nation.
