Trump rushes to fundraise off second assassination bid
Trump rushes to fundraise off second assassination bid
“I will NEVER SURRENDER!” the former president wrote in an email solicitation Sunday.
Sometimes I wonder if this is all a setup. Sadly.
It absolutely is. Both times they were his own voters. Not some communist immigrant transgender drag queen.
Not to mention, the temporal proximity of this “assassination attempt” to the Roberts SCOTUS leak is, shall we say… suspicious.
I am thinking same as @Zerlyna@lemmy.world. The first time was a wackadoodle that voted Donald. This time it stinks of desperate and paid. IMO by someone from Donald's campaign as they couldn't capitalize on the first attempt.
Not some communist immigrant transgender pet eating insane criminal pedofile drag queen.
FTFY
Here’s what I find especially odd. Trump’s trip to the golf course was apparently “unplanned” and “not on his official schedule.”
Yet the gunman had been there for 12 hours:

Was he just waiting there in case Trump randomly decided to go golfing that day?

That honestly wouldn't surprise me. If you've seen the guy's Tweets and YouTube videos, he clearly wasn't very smart or sane. Dude literally travelled to Ukraine to try to "help."
#OperationConserve = #OperationKonserve the first attempt didn't work as they wanted with Biden dropping out and because they have no original ideas....
After a school shooting in Iowa last January:
"So surprising to see it here. But, we have to get over it. We have to move forward." -Trump
So he should take his own advice and get over it.
He's so upset Kamala stole his momentum, but the sequel never does as well as the original.
Let's hope "Storm the Capital II: Electric Boogaloo" falls short of the original, too.
If I was a Capitol Police officer, it sure as fuck would go differently, if you know how I mean.
Bring it, Jethro. This one's going to be short.
Oh, it will. If they march on the capitol again, Biden will call in the national guard.
Trump didn't do that when he was at the helm because he wanted them to succeed.
I almost want them to try again so this time an example can be made of them, since our legal system refuses to hold extremists accountable for their own actions.
I can see the future... In the next 48 hours Trump (or Vance) will do/say something incredibly stupid and everyone will forget about this assassination attempt.
Who are you who is so wise in the ways of trumpist bullshit?
Has it even been confirmed as an assination attempt?
Everything I've read points at it being a Florida man hanging out in the bushes by the golf course with an AK. I don't think they've confirmed he was even on the course.
He was invited to give a speech from the bushes.
Possibly...they did hold a news conference at that garage.
What are these endless calls for funding? Do people only vote if they are saturated with adverts?
I wouldn't be shocked, if most of the money disappears to "consulting fees", "administrative fees", and other such methods to siphon cash off.
Also remember we, the people, don't actually elect the president. We merely suggest we would like person X or person Y. Our vote is meaningless for the actual picking.
Regardless of how we vote. Each state picks "electors" who then "elect" our president for us. We don't get to vote for who the electors are either. So like we have zero voice.
If we could somehow control the electors's brain to force them to go republican or democrat, then there's no need for electors. Thus we must assume that the electors do not vote like we would like. Instead, they have their own mind and agenda and vote preference.
But we cannot change this process. So I will keep voting as I do, but I will know that it is mostly bullshit. I would much prefer it if the actual electors could be identified by name and location so ads can get shoved up their ass constantly on their preferred method of communication.
Most states have laws restricting faithless electors in some way, including voiding such votes (which has happened). Though, some lack enforcement mechanisms. The Supreme Court has upheld penalties for faithless electors within the past five years. As a result, it's vanishingly rare.
It's still a dumb system that is unrepresentative and relies too much on people just doing the right thing, but this characterization isn't totally accurate.
Theoretically. In reality there's been very few faithless electors and they've never been a deciding factor.
I don't want him to be killed because I don't want him to become a martyr, but I wish one of these chucklefucks had done some serious, permanent damage.
The first one hardly moved the needle, I expect this one to do no better.
Not in front of a camera, no blood, no good picture, not even an interesting story.
Total fuckin dud. If the last conspiracy ridden one did nothing this one will too
Nobody even shot at him. He was not in danger. But maybe he will still fake an injury, we'll have to wait and see.
The first one set off an orgy of corporate news garment-rending for almost a full week which goosed the RNC views as well.
Don't think it was nothing. (Even though it was, technically, nothing.) Your Favorite Teacher From Elementary School's Fascist Racist Elect-A-Rapist Movement benefitted handsomely from that one.
Trump pushing to connect with nation's schoolchildren: I know what it's like to be shot at.
Children: So can we get Secret Service level protection?
Trump/GOP:
Other presidential candidates in the past had topics like "society", "taxes", "peace", "employment", etc.
Trump obviously only has the topics "immigrants bad" and "I've been shot at".
If there's a third one with a conservative background can we start making theories about him hiring them?
