Coss Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Will no one spare a thought for Melania Trump? This isn't the first time, she has been disappointed by a couple of inches. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 It’s quite funny, in other forums I am seeing comments like “Since the shooter once made a donation to the Democrats, shouldn’t Biden be prosecuted for calling for the assasination of an opponent only to see the poster shut down with Oh, come on. The Supreme Court just said that whatever a President does in office is perfectly legal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My understanding is, the teleprompters and podium and “bunting” around the area are all made of bulletproof material. Trump is just damned lucky, others not so lucky. Originally, “eye witnesses” said a woman had been shot in the arm, but all those killed or wounded were male. A lot of rhetoric from the usual online nut job jobs, “…it was the Jews, we want revenge…” “…the shooter worked for Soros…” “…the shooter was a Zionist…” etc… One question that is legitimate is “how the fuck did a guy with a rifle get that close to a former president and current candidate..?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much bleeding took place, so I realised then what was happening." A bullet would have taken his ear off. This is all becoming a bit of a circus. Unfortunately most Amerikan people lap up everything they are fed. This will be a border protection issue for The Donald. Like I posted in the USA thread (which is where this belongs) if re-elected or not some are predicting a civil war between the D and R supporters. Not necessarily, and that caliber does weird things especially if it was a full metal jacket, which is most commonly sold for that rifle. High velocity rounds like that vaporize when they hit anything, branches, thick brush, etc. So if it hit his ear as a glancing shot, then it could have cut him up pretty badly. He is damned lucky, 1/2 inch more to the shooters right and yeah, different conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Separatist have been claiming this for years and they have wanted it for years. At the end of the day, I think a lot of these white separatist types are all talk and only do their worst when they have someone out numbered… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Supreme Court just said that whatever a President does in office is perfectly legal. Biden supposedly said in a speech “…it was time to put Trump in the cross hairs…” so that is being misconstrued to mean Biden called for this…. Trump ran his mouth on May occasion when violence followed, so maybe they are trying to twist it? Kinda like when you point out anyone of his faults and they counter with “well what about Hillary…” as if that makes it all o.k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bust Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 He survived an assassination attempt. He’s as defiant and determined as ever. And if Donald Trump is returned to power by American voters this November he’ll have an “army” at his disposal — at least 10,000 people, recruited to help implement his controversial agenda. The director of a network of conservative groups, Paul Dans, has said his organisation Project 2025 has prepared a detailed “battle plan” and has the people trained and ready to execute it. It would see the president’s power expanded like never before and allow him to target the so-called “deep state” — in Trump’s telling, the ruling class of faceless civil servants that thwarted his first term agenda. But opponents warn Project 2025 will put political stooges in key decision-making positions, empower the former president to prosecute his political enemies, and set the United States on a path to authoritarianism. https://www.project2025.org/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 But Biden isn’t guilty of anything, just the other day the Republican selected Supreme Court judges ruled that an President has immunity, surely this rule also applies to Democrats as well as Republicans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
