🇺🇸 Traitor, Con-man, Insurrectionist, Sexual Predator, Convicted Felon and Soon-to-be Fascist Dictator: The Trump Thread

[squeekness]

Wait a minute, Trump's VP pick wrote Hillbilly Elegy?

What's sad is that when I read the book, I understood a lot of where he was coming from. Something happened after he wrote it, someone slipped him the Kool-aid and he never recovered from it.

These were his thoughts on Trump in 2016.

Crazy. Apparently Biden reached out to the victim's wife but she refused to talk to him because her dead husband wouldn't have wanted that. Meanwhile Trump hasn't even tried reaching out smh.

"I don't have any ill will towards Joe Biden," she said. "I'm not one of those people that gets involved in politics. I support Trump, that's who I'm voting for, but I don't have ill-will towards
Biden." "He didn't do anything to my husband. A 20-
year-old despicable kid did," she continued.

Well, Conservatives have officially lost that talking point. Ain’t no way they’ll be able to twist that against Biden without looking like a bunch of insensitive a**holes.

Wonder what that last part is about, though. Was he indirectly responsible for his dad‘s death or something? Very curious.

 

[Sithborg]

Man, these past few days have been quite a roller coaster.

Failed assassination attempt on Trump by 20-year-old is used to try make him look like a martyr. However, it comes out that he’s Republican. Then, it’s supposed out that he made a $15 ActBlue donation and guessed to be a former Democrat. Only, it wasn’t him that made the donation, but a 69-year-old Democrat living in Pittsburgh that shared a similar name. So, some slight relief.

Now, Trump puts forth his VP, who hates women and wants to take away their rights, which is bad. Then, I realize, due to recent circumstances of even women in the Republican party pushing back against having their rights taken away, that this choice of VP might backfire on Trump, which might be good.

Anxiety go up, anxiety go down. Anxiety go up, anxiety go down. Anxiety go up, anxiety go down. Anxiety go up, anxiety go down.

Stop playing with my anxiety, universe.

Oh, Vance is one of the worst choices he could have made. He does not do anything to shore up his weaknesses, if anything, makes them even more glaring. He is not going to appeal to moderates, and he is going to use the vitriol that turns them off.

Wait a minute, Trump's VP pick wrote Hillbilly Elegy?

Yeah, so thank you Ron Howard for getting him enough attention to get into power.

What's sad is that when I read the book, I understood a lot of where he was coming from. Something happened after he wrote it, someone slipped him the Kool-aid and he never recovered from it.

The book is a bunch of lies. So, the question is, has he always been this vile, or is he riding the grift train.

You can say that about 'power' in general not just the presidency.

I wasn't aware that many people watched the movie at all. It got negative reviews and apart from some awards season attention for Glenn Close and Amy Adams, it fell out of the public consciousness pretty quickly.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

If it wasn't for Ron Howard's attempt at Awards bait I (and a lot of people) never would've heard of this guy and now I regret it every single day. And I hope every person in involved in that debacle feels the same.

I have to say, I know some people want Harris at the top of the ticket, but I also absolutely love the idea of her getting an opportunity to eat Vance alive at the VP debate, especially when it comes to reproductive rights, or you know, any of the issues that the vast majority of normal Americans agree on.

Someone tell Trump it's ill-advised to try to milk it - the whole world is increasingly learning that he literally indirectly did it to himself (actually, no, don't tell him that - let him make it into an even bigger spectacle that Trump managed to get himself shot by a more extremist Trump supporter).

 

[Detective Conan]

Where’s the evidence for this? Are there public records linking the 69 year old to the donation?

I thought Libertarians were lefties, no?

They're Republicans who don't believe in accountability... and hate being called a racist.

 

[MagnarTheGreat]

Yeah some embarrassed Republicans sometimes call themselves Libertarians. They often vote for Republicans outside of the presidential contests because who the **** else are they gonna vote for?

 

[squeekness]

If this was the other way around Biden would have called her THAT DAY. Trump couldn't care less.

It's obvious he was a Republican and Trump supporter.

Numerous students have come forward that he was a loner, who wore a Trump shirt, and his small friend group were known to be conservatives who wore Trump hats. He is also a registered Republican and active Republican voter.

His family is also known to be gun nuts, thus why Trump's campaign targeted them to further radicalize in their e-mail campaign.

At this point, trying to say that he wasn't a former Trump supporter until recently is a serious reach.

I'm not that confident in Kamala Harris' debating skills. She wasn't that great during the primary.

She also has to counter the angry black woman trope which will soften her attacks to appear civil.

Lastly, they're probably going to discuss reproductive rights for 5 minutes. For the rest of the debate she'll be on defense.

WPXI - Alleged Trump shooter spotted by law enforcement nearly 30 minutes before shots fired, sources say

Secret Service did not sweep rooftop where Trump shooter was found, source says

A source from the Secret Service confirmed to Scripps News that the agency did not sweep the rooftop from which a gunman shot at former President Donald Trump Saturday.

www.scrippsnews.com

I read somewhere else they were circulating photos of the shooter for a while* before the one man confronted him.

Basically it seems the police and SS weren't doing their jobs properly. Lackadaisical.

The rally should have been called off immediately and cop car sirens sounded the moment a shooter was suspected. They should have done everything to divert the shooters attention away from the stage and crowd if neutralization wasn't yet viable.

What a **** show! This is Uvalde level incompetence.

I'm also left wondering what sort of coordination did the SS and the local police have? Some? None?
