Donald Trump suffers ear wound at Pennsylvania rally in probable assassination attempt, story developing
- Thread starter Real
- Start date
rural shooting clubs have multiple teams so people are not allowed to join due to usually not following proper gun safety, not really bad aim, but who knows

saw some articles on NBC as well that basically democratic strategists now are focused on house and senate seats and consider the presidency lost, which seems kinda wild to me and hope its not true
I mean "democratic strategists" here were shitting bricks too before more information was out. I'm convinced they're as much Chicken Littles in DC as we are here.

Adding in the "It was considered like dangerous" sounds to me like it was bad shot to the point of hitting other people's targets or going above the back wall on the range. I would especially consider the later "like dangerous" for obvious reasons
with how confusing the news cycle has been I'm half expecting his motives were to miss and give Trump a rallying call but his aim was so bad he almost accidentally did it
like I don't mean this in a conspiracy way, more in the nothing makes sense and everything is chaos way

These are the worst kind of posts with anonymous sources. Dooms day randomer insider Too
battlebox?
that was the third speech in a row he messed up? really? and that was clearly scripted with a script in front of him he was looking at.
saddness. :(
edit: Oh and CCN just picked up he called him "President Trump" not former president. He doesn't even think he's President anymore?

Let's not make a big deal out of that he was saying ballot box, slipped maybe once or twice it's not a big deal.
Remember the conversations around Biden being a liability for the Obama ticket because he was a notorious gaffe machine? Now it's like every time he opens his mouth and his stutter makes him substitute a word everyone goes "whuuuuuuut?"
look at my edit and this was only a 7 minute scripted speech.
People will bend themselves into pretzels to come up with the least plausible things to explain reality. No one is going on a suicide mission to shoot at a person with the intent to miss them. Life isn't a movie.
People refer to Obama as Mr. President too. It's a holdover from style guides where you're meant to address someone by the highest (or sometimes last) office or rank they held.
It is normal for ex-presidents to still be referred to as "President _____" after they leave office. It's an informal thing done out of respect. (Not that Trump deserves that respect.)
Hell I do this all the time and I'm a third his age. You can almost always tell what he meant to say.
Shaking at in my boots at the thought of a washed up, rail-thin dork in shit-kickers coming after me because I said Trump was a rapist fascist pig.
He has to constantly fight against stuttering. I know a couple people with stutters and that shit is debilitating.
Not just president. You can often see it with senators, secretaries of state, generals, etc.
i've stuttered since the 4th grade, I dont have any recollection of what its like to just speak sentences and not meticulously think about it. I often fuck up because I am so focused on a single upcoming word that I know will give me trouble that I rush through everything else to get to that and hopefully get through it. I imagine it'll only get worse with age. Non-stutterers have absolutely no idea the constant hell of trying to get through a single sentence fluently.
If he was using a scope instead of iron sights he 100% would've hit him instead of just coming close, even if he still missed the first, the follow up shots would've probably hit him. If he was using .223/5.56 there's no way he was actually hit by the bullet, it was almost certainly glass fragments as other reports indicated.
Oh, god is sending a message... the message is maybe letting conspiracy theorists sit at the table is a bad idea.
It's fucking crazy how perfect a storm this is, between Biden's apparent decline, democratic infighting and the extremely photogenic failed assassination attempt on Trump.
I don't think Biden can even step down any more just in pure terms of it adding to the chaos. Or maybe he can, but fuck if I can see how its possible.

If it is, he's been playing the long game cuz he's done it his entire career.
Important to learn the slant CNN is trying to pull if they seriously called that out as something peculiar.
The man has always been like this, it's part of the stutter and also, now, part of getting older.

Dems and cowering in fear, name a more iconic duo.
There's no reason to cede the presidency immediately, considering there hasn't been a lot of polling after the incident and we don't know how it'll affect things. There's also at least one more debate, both conventions, and the election all the way in Nov.
If you want the fastest way to suppress enthusiasm for voting into a lower turnout election (and lower turnouts always hurt Democrats more), arm flailing and immediately declaring a loss because of yesterday's incident is exactly how to do it. No waiting to see how incidents affect polling. No strategizing around the shooter being a registered Republican. No ensuring that the momentum to replace Biden is kept at a healthy pace. Just immediately give up and cower and quit. Many Democrats truly are their own worst enemies.

"MR PRESIDENT NO!"
"Democratic insider" "Democratic consultant"
Such meaningless anonymous titles. Fuck knows what the actual positions of these people are within the party or if they're the equivalent of nihilistic era posters.

Biden is like infamous for gaffes too, for his entire career. He's been foot in mouth guy for 40+ years on top of the stutter. The age isn't helping but it's pretty much par for the course for him.
Everything about this story is just so strange. I hope we get some kind of understanding from it in terms of possible motive.
I'm kind of getting the vibe that we're going to end up with a Mandalay Bay situation where we just never learn anything at all about this guy.
No, no, I think I "gotcha" quite well. What you have said so far has not been devalued—because you, at best, had nothing of value to add in the first place.
The person you responded to, quite rightly, pointed out that heroes do not hang out at fascist rallies for rapists. What, exactly, did you hope to accomplish by interjecting Erm akshually his daughter thinks he's pretty neat and also he did something any decent father would have done? Was it to distract? To tone police? Maybe it was a horribly misguided "We go high" moment on your part?
Whatever the purpose of your finger-wagging "can we not do this," it is irrelevant to the fact that Mr. "Hero" spent his last day on Earth at a thinly-veiled klan rally. Pointing it out is not "mean" and so needs no tsk-tsk-tsk addendum by anyone.
You do not "gotta hand it to them."
