The Donald vs Big Tech

Durka durka.

Plus Biden seems to actually.. speak like a president for a change. What is going on?. Last week he was the fall guy, in the last 24 hrs he is coherent and doing press conferences, phoning Trump.

Even if it was staged, how exactly does it help Trump win votes?

Sympathy, martyrdom, deflection from the court cases.

[Anvil]

Given how a few former Trump employees and people he considered friends have testified against him, and how under the spotlight he is, would Trump be crazy/smart/stupid enough to stage an assassination attempt?

It is funny now seeing a lot of people I know who would scream tin foil hat at anyone who questions anything beyond whatever the current narrative are now pushing conspiracy theories about it being staged because it suits the agenda.

I wonder will we see any action taken against Biden for his recent 'put a bullseye on Trump' comment. If Trump said the same thing and Biden was shot at people would be calling for Trump's head.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

That remark was in a private call to donors though. Trump hardliners have been trying to equate it with Trump's very public call to march on the Capitol and and get equal blame placed on him on that basis, but the comparison doesn't stand up imo.

The latent Democrat conspiracy theorists suddenly emerging is def funny though. I was also wondering to myself if it's causing any cognitive dissonance among the large intersection of MAGA/InfoWars heads, torn between their love for Trump and their love for seeing false flag operations everywhere

The bullseye thing was a Twitter post from Biden's presidential account that has now been deleted.

At least if people are going to push a conspiracy have some sort of logic behind it I haven't seen anyone come up with a valid reason as to why Trump would want this staged. As he is more popular now than ever before. If he was going to stage it do people honestly think with all that is going on and the amount of times he has been betrayed by people he trusted in the past that he would trust someone to shoot at him would a random knife attack not have been a lot easier / safer to pull off or finding a bomb somewhere before it goes off.

I don't know that account, but my first instinct would be to question the veracity of the screenshot, which already suspiciously crops the date and time. The text shown is a verbatim quote from the private call in question, so the "we're done talking about the debate" loses some of its contextual meaning: they were talking about the debate on the call and Biden wanted to move on from it, then reassuring them he won't talk about golf again    Not impossible, but doesn't make a whole lot of sense his media team would choose to tweet those exact words.

That was just the first thing that came up when I searched for it. I have seen others referencing it and showing the screenshot in videos. I have never had a Twitter account so that makes searching for posts especially deleted ones difficult. Every time I see something McGregor posts while under the influence then deletes it when I go back to try and find it to send onto people I never can.

Law enforcement and secret service have a lot of questions that they'll never answer around how the fuck the shooter managed to be there at all. There's enough holes in the incompetence angle to render it fairly unbelievable the more you'd see about it but definitely the funnest part has been the left's descent into tinfoil hat territory. They had it coming, the blind bastards lol. There are many many videos of the crazy rhetoric from the Democrat side in the US and if someone was inspired to shoot a Republican candidate they need look no further than their own words for inspirational ideas. It's indisputable that they've been responsible for the hateful andviolent rhetoric far more than anything Trump has actually ever did or said, including anything from Jan 6th. Far far worse if one takes the time to actually look at the claims.

Ah here I just read that the shooter's phone can't be accessed by the full weight of the US government. Jaysus that's a stretch really.

Shooter no social media or online footprint at all. Shooter coincidentally appeared in a Blackrock ad last year but no anything online about him. Yeah the theories will be wild for sure. You couldn't make it up, as they say

Plenty more where this one came from, but note this is a Super Bowl Ad. Biggest viewership in the US:

Glorifying guns tracks very well with the GOP voter base. There may be a case for Democrats encouraging more of what's referred to as "political violence", like riots, etc., but when it comes to the kind of single sharp shooter shit compatible with the mass shooter and would-be presidential assassin profiles, the Republicans have had that market pretty much cornered off for quite a while now. I mean, the NRA has been essentially part of the GOP campaign machine for years now.

Nobody remembers that Taylor-Green cunt and her sniper ad?

[astfgyl]

I do!! She gave rednecks the horn good and proper with that one

Firstly, the democrats drew their weapons first. Secondly he only shot the weapons out of their hands and thirdly he didn't dress them up as Hitler so I'll see your pot and raise you a kettle

This notion of the democrats being some sort of warriors for inclusivity and peace when they're as crooked as any republicans ever were is just fantasy stuff.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

I don't think you'll find anyone on here describing the Democrats like that 

Funnily enough, one of the "objectionable" tweets mentioned in that New York Post article (a 100% pro-MAGA rag, incidentally), in which Trump's own words are compared to some of Hitler's, really just serves to further highlight how violent some of Trump's own discourse has been:
