I was wrong. I apologize.

[SweetSue92]

Shortly after today's shooting, I posted that the incident looked like a publicity stunt. At the time, I based my belief on the fact that he had a wall of spectators in the bleachers behind and around him, and no one had yet mentioned any of them being injured after all those shots. I was also doubtful that the noise canceling microphone would be able to pick up the shots so clearly at a distance. It has since been reported that one viewer was killed, and others were wounded. Obviously, my early beliefs were wrong, and I unreservedly acknowledge that it was not a staged event, and I apologize for making a quick judgement on incomplete information. I will try to avoid that in the future.

Almost no one does that on the interwebz and I appreciate it.

I'm still so mad I could spit nails though.

The unhinged are out to kill a President and that's Trump.

And that is the fault of the media, as well as Biden’s. The Hitler-type lies they are spreading resulted in what happened yesterday.

 

[Lisa558]

I apologized for being wrong about the shooting being a staged event. That doesn't mean I don't believe trump is a felon con man who likes to rape women and should never be allowed near the white house.

And this is where you go wrong. You are still believing the media and Democrat lies that led to the assassination attempt.

 

[Godboy]

I always admit when I'm shown to be wrong.

No you dont. You were just badly humiliated this time, so you felt like you had to. If you had the slightest bit of wiggle room to continue denying the assassination attempt, thats what you would be doing right now.

Apology noted but not accepted.....If I was running this railroad I would still be culling the membership for what was said last evening.

Given that many were on my ignore list I was just getting a taste by the responses to them.....I "peeked" a couple of time and thought WTF is wrong with those people!

It was so bad I simply quit responding to members for a few hours (mostly due to the fast moving situation) and just made posts that I thought were pertinent to the situation as I found them.

No. I would feel really bad if I cared what you think about anything, but you're just another crazy MAGA. Your thoughts don't count.

Respect this post. Well done.

I choose to acknowledge when I'm shown to be wrong. It makes it easier for me to look into the mirror. I don't expect anybody else to agree with. my thoughts on the matter

The only thing a message board poster has is the credibility that is built up over time.

You're not the one who recognizes how often you are wrong.

And I guard mine religiously. Many I have disagreed with might not believe that, but I don't do it for their opinion.

Not too often you hear apologies in 2024. Nothing wrong with stating opinions and speculations. Just label them as such. No need to make an apology for being wrong with your speculation...

Thank you for your thoughts, but acknowledging when I am shown to be wrong and apologizing is a standard I set for myself. It has nothing to do with what others might think.

 

[Dragonlady]

Now apply that epiphany to your misguided political leanings.

You could try doing the same.

Well, let's test that.

Then you can ask me one if you'd like.

President Trump never said "inject bleach" or ever told anyone to inject disinfectant. Trump only asked a medical professional if that was a possible treatment.

Correct?

He didn't say those exact words, but the dumb son of a bitch implied it was a realistic option.

I think that's all from your own mind.

Trump is literally asking a question.

"Is it possible..."

Because we know this works.

Maybe if you watched the video with an open mind, you would see the truth...

Whoever said there was no such thing as a dumb question hadn't met trump. An eight-year-old kid knows bleach doesn't go inside the body.

And... there's the lie.

Knew you couldn't do it.

Still disappointing.
