Let’s make a bet! If Trump comes within 50 points of Harris in the black vote, I will never post here again. If he doesn’t, you’ll do the same. anybody else is welcome to join the bet.

well, VPs exist for a reason and they did vote for Kamala as VP. very funny to see this “concern” from conservatives. i’m sure it has nothing to do with them pissed they’re not running against a corpse anymore.

i’m not a kamala guy and i won’t be voting for her but it’s pretty funny to critique her “record” as VP. VPs don’t really do anything. There’s a whole HBO sitcom dedicated to the concept. You sign up to get the messaging campaigns the president doesn’t want to deal with in exchange for the privilege of having the poll position in the next primary.

I wouldn’t say DT directed his supporters to storm the capital, but to act like he bears no responsibility is asinine and we all know for damn sure you wouldn’t apply that metric to a democrat. He lied and whipped his people into a frenzy over the election and they did something insane as a direct consequence of that lie. as @jross would say, what happened to personal responsibility?

would they have stormed the capital if trump didn’t claim the election was stolen?

yeah the guy claiming the election was stolen had nothing to do with inciting his supporters to storm the capital building because they thought the election was stolen. the guy who said mike pence had the power to overthrow the election but was choosing not to had nothing to do with his supporters wanting to hang mike pence. totally unrelated. do you even hear yourself? lmao i don’t even care about Jan 6 but you’re insane lmao

the irony here is that anybody who can’t understand what “to see what can be, unburdened by what has been” means is outing themselves as an idiot. that’s not a difficult turn of phrase.

it’s going to be so funny when you guys find out the insane echo chamber you live in. you’ll probably throw a fit about “voter fraud” for another 4 years.

No, I just think people forgot how unpopular trump is because he was running against an incapacitated opponent.

It won’t. Any legal challenge by the republicans would 1) fail 2) alienate moderate suburbanites And they know this. It’s a last ditch bluff to try to scare Biden into staying. This race just became competitive again.

It will be Kamala and she’s going to win. The suburbs will fall in line for her.

new reporting

There were several SS/Police snipers. I'd assume more than one fired at Crooks.

With the exception of Andor, the Disney Star Wars stuff is mostly crap.

His son said no stitches and one of the earliest reports said the injury was actually from shattered glass from the teleprompter. That seems much more consistent with the picture we saw of his ear right after. https://x.com/grasshopper2049/status/1812407160003006485?s=46 it doesn’t really matter if he was hit or not anyway. somebody tried to kill him all the same.

lol that’s not what the tweet says.

Yes, they’re in.

Buddy, it's working extremely well. The abortion rate has been nearly cut in half since the 80s and 90s. The rate would probably be even lower if Conservative states went all-in on "safe sex" education over "abstinence only." The abstinence only approach to sex ed leads to higher rates of teen pregnancy. The best way to reduce abortion is to invest heavily in BC and contraceptives while teaching students how sex actually works and how to do it safely.

Yes, that's what I was saying. Seems like the SS trusted the local cops to secure that area during the rally - which sounds somewhat standard - and the local cops totally blew it at every point. Thank god he missed.

At the same time, would that information be out there if it was done on purpose? Could it be a conspiracy? Definitely. But I think it's more likely gross incompetence, especially when you consider the involvement of small town local police who likely aren't trained to handle these situations. Taking a step back, I bet secret service identifies "suspicious individuals" at just about every rally and keeps an eye on them. You can't shoot someone for being suspicious and they don't want to pull him off the stage every time someone catches their eye. It seems like secret service had their eye on him, but the local cops let him slip through the cracks when he was behind the building gaining access to roof where secret service couldn't see him.

this is the last thing you want lol

No need. They’ll get over it.

He was not a democratic donor after all. Different Thomas Crooks.

it’s a figure of speech! i forgot that takes a 4th grade reading level to understand

at no point did i say that. in fact i said the opposite. this was a terrible day for our country. i’m begging you to learn to read. what i said is that it’s believable that a crazy person would hate trump enough to try to kill him. you call that TDS! and it is! i think that’s more likely than the US government trying to kill him. this should not be that hard to follow but there is a reliable crew on here that can’t read and is addicted to being mad. a deadly combo!
