Minnesota assasination thread

[4thgenheel]

Is it really "now"? How long ago was it when someone tried to kill Rand Paul at a baseball game? Almost 10 years - 2017.

This (political violence) all started with the rise of social media and seemed to escalate when Trump won in 2016.

Lucky for Rand, Scalise, etc and Trump, Dem psychos are a worse shot than MAGA psychos.

Nothing surprising there.

EDIT: that TDS meme is gold. Downloaded.....

uh, no. so much incorrect nonsense in one post.

one of rand paul's neighbors tackled him because he's an assclown. the situation had nothing to do with politics and was set in motion by a yard dispute. and the guy kicked his ass - he had several broken ribs.

Rand Paul attacker sentenced to additional prison time over yard assault

Rene Boucher broke the senator's ribs in 2017 in a dispute between neighbors over yard waste.

and the PA lunatic who missed trump was a right winger, SCLPL.

There have been outright comments wishing for trumps death on here since he was elected. What are your thoughts on those?

I would be a liar if I did not admit that I believe that the world would be a far, far better place had trump never existed. I say that understanding the multiple Twilight Zone type of variables such an occurrence might bring into play. He's a pox on the earth and humanity.

The worse that I recall on this board from the assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life in Pennsylvania during the campaign was: (1) it was a tragedy that people behind Trump were killed and wounded and (2) the damage to Trump's ear healed remarkable fast. To this day, I am not sure if Trump's ear was (a) clipped or (b) damaged by the shock wave from a near miss. Both could have caused the observed/described damage and neither are something I would wish on anyone.

I'm not buying (b). There's not that much lateral shockwave from a small caliber bullet and human skin is a lot tougher than you imagine.

Agree. Something hit his ear. If it was the bullet, it only grazed him by micrometers. Could have also been shrapnel from the teleprompter or something. But it couldn’t have been a shockwave. And he was definitely bleeding.

Just found out that my mom has worked with John Hoffman a fair amount and that they are friends. She is pretty gutted by all of this, but glad that he is alive.

 

[finesse]

Btw, I don't want Trump to die. I do not want any hints of martyrdom surrounding him.

I do want him to be exposed as the senile megalomaniac that he is and would love to see him involuntarily committed and everyone in his family and administration convicted on criminal racketeering charges. But, that's all merely justice and not some twisted vengeance.

Fact-checking unsubstantiated claims linking Gov. Walz to Minnesota lawmakers' shootings

In 2019, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz reappointed the suspect wanted in connection with the shooting of Minnesota state legislators to a workforce development board. Conservatives baselessly said that implicated Walz in the killing.

These people are just sick. Sick morally, sick in the head mentally - they're just sick people.

 

[Mulberry Heel]

Such a piece of shit.

And yet MAGAS - including people on this very board - can't seem to understand why so many Americans hate and loathe him so. They just dismiss people getting angry over him saying horrible things like this as "TDS". No, it's that these people still have at least some sense of decency and humanity and compassion left and see him for the POS and hateful turd of a person that he truly is. And the truth is most of his supporters at least privately love it when he says or tweets this shit, they just lap it up.

The president of the United States says something deeply deplorable and outright shameful during a press conference.

But one or maybe two people on an anonymous message board once said something mean, too, so…samesies!

Calla ran out of bullets in his gun before lunch yesterday. He’s just flinging handfuls of poo at this point.

 

[WaynetheDrain]

Hopefully Walz would decline the call.

Hopefully he takes the call and rips Trump a new one.

He should take the call and show the magas how a leader communicates

From a quick spin through some SEC message boards this morning, the right wing appears to be 100% convinced this guy was a leftist. Just shows how deeply that part of our populace has embraced right wing propaganda.

There is a guy in Raleigh that I’m friends with on FB (at this point I stay to see what he will say, he is connected to politics, and on any issue he is always spouting off the Republican story) and he’s going with this is Walz’s guy. And everyone that posts on his page accepts this with no question.

Well he is from Raleigh.

 

[dukeman92]

Lee should be sanctioned and potentially impeached for that. Instead, MAGA will continue to celebrate him.

He made one worse than that.

 

[dukeman92]

I wonder how many Dems stopped clapping long enough to call Trump after his assassination attempt.

Biden's call with Trump after the shooting was 'good, short and respectful'

A White House official says the call between President Biden and former President Trump after the shooting at his rally was "good, short and respectful." NBC News' Aaron Gilchrist reports on the call and how the Biden campaign is responding to the assassination attempt.

The two couples sitting behind me at lunch were spewing the Walz conspiracy theory and discussing how “Representative” [sic] Padilla forced his way into Noem’s press conference and “charged” the podium. I had to move before I heard the rest. I so wanted to turn around to set them straight, but knew that would be a waste of my breath. I chose to salvage my sanity instead. They walk among us.
