'Trump rushed from White House correspondents' dinner after suspected gunshots heard'

I totally agree.

Putting up a mixed race woman was never going to work in such a sexist, racist country.

Given sexism is more universal than racism, and still more socially acceptable, I think it was the fact that she is a woman which hindered her most.

To do good you first need to be elected so whilst it is all very admirable demonstrating your equality in candidate selection , when it comes to President of the US it is an exercise in futility.

Better to win and then try to educate.

Take your own advice then head home back to the US of A. It doesnt matter that youre 'legal' wherever you are, by YOUR rules even legal migrants can be ripped from the country and deported so ...off you trot. Put your money where you mouth is and clear off back to the US.( Its obviously so great youve lived elsewhere for quite some time by the sound of it. )

Im quite sure that wherever you are if someone broke into your home, ripped you from your bed, placed you in a sub human detention centre for days or months with no access to a solicitor your family or to a legal process that would protect you, that you would have plenty to say about it when and if you were released

If you are in a foreign country illegally, would this be entirely unsurprising to you?

Also, they can just give up their fake ass asylum claim and be flown to their home country in a matter of days, so actually they have plenty of agency here. Or they can just avoid all this trouble by going home before all that using the CBP app, with taxpayer money. Zero sympathy.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Most countries want controlled immigration, what America is currently engaged in is not humane, constitutional or lawful because they are choosing their victims purely on thw persons colour and accent with no due process, but you know that.

Most people who try to shoot someone dont like the person theyre shooting. Its also not surprising that alot of people who dont like trump, do compare him to the German Chancellor from the 1940's', with good reason. Not sure what point youre trying to make here. Whatever this 'perpetrators- reasoning it isnt appropriate or encouraged to shoot someone, but trump is a truly divisive, evil, narcissistic, psychopath who's MO is to divide and conquer so its hardly surprising.

As for the previous attempts there seems to be alot of inconsistencies out there to imply the Butler attempt was suspect. Not least that trump, renowned for his running mouth, has barely uttered a word about it or the perpetrator since.

Most now view trump as capable of anything, particularly since he is running scared of the epstein files and thus being held fully accountable for his behaviour, that if any, of the attempts were contrived by him few would be surprised.

So the general feeling is that political killing is bad.

What is also darkly funny is that Cole Allen shared posts on Bluesky and seemed to think the previous assassination attempts were faked 😬

Well you certainly seem to wish for illegal aliens to stay in America. But in America’s case, there was nothing for our ancestors to ‘immigrate to’, all that had to be built and maintained by the European settlers and the American descendants of slaves (this particular identity, ADOS, is going to become increasingly important politically)

Comparing Jo Cox to Trump is…. well, wow. Disingenuous does not in fact cover it.

It’s not his political views, it’s his despicable actions that have resulted in inestimable damage to countless people, and in fact, world peace and stability.

And ‘Biden was not far worse,’ give over.

They are not a unified group. Never were. So we didn’t ’steal land’ from ‘them’.
In any case, conquering and taking land was perfectly fine by their standards and we had expected to live with them at first, which became impossible because they thought it was okay to take land and murder you. Because that is what they did to each other.

Sounds like present day America.

Do you think these two statements are in any way consistent?

They are not a unified group. Never were

In any case, conquering and taking land was perfectly fine by their standards and we had expected to live with them at first, which became impossible because they thought it was okay to take land and murder you. Because that is what they did to each other

(How can you steal land from an invader? Or is there a bit of history I’m missing where Native Americans popped over to Europe to grab the Isle of Wight in a bit of tit-for-tat?).

I really doubt many of the people who came over from Europe were ever expecting to live peacefully alongside the people they encountered when they arrived. Any more than the people who went to Africa expected to live comfortably alongside the indigenous population there.

And I’m not even going there with the history of Afro-Americans….

White saviourism

And they traded land between them. As you say, perfectly normal in historical context

They are not a unified group. Never were. So we didn’t ’steal land’ from ‘them’.

At one point Cahokia may well have been bigger than London was. Just because Native American culture has been denigrated for centuries doesn't mean it didn't exist.

Ahh. So you mean it was a large landmass with lots of small nations, and these small nations had wars between them.

Like Europe, Africa. and pretty much everywhere.

Without the land stolen from Native Americans, the country you call America would not exist.

Native Americans did not build the country you call America. They weren’t a unified people, their entire history pretty much consisted of conquering small patches of land and slaughtering the losers, because they didn’t see enemy tribes as fully human, and often allied with European settlers when we arrived to get rid of their rivals.

But yes, if they had done the hard work of establishing a unified territory, maintaining discipline over a wide variety of people and making them subject under one government, they may have had a small chance. But they didn’t.

So no, native Americans didn’t have control over their borders and this is the result of that inability. Kind of a cautionary tale.

If you were really interested in deportation numbers you'd know that both Obama and Biden surpassed Trump's numbers. They just did it in a way that didn't feed your cruelty fetish.

Very well said

Yes he had help from some very unsavoury people - name me a high profile politician who doesn't - but with a half decent candidate the Democrats should have wiped the floor with him

Much as I dislike the way he approaches things it's hardly Trump's fault that the opposition left it too late and saddled themselves with a candidate who couldn't even run a proper campaign in 2020, never mind the last one

And when the Reiners were murdered.

And let's not forget how he posted the Obamas' home address on truth social and someone went to their house with weapons and explosives.

Only some are morons. Some are cunts. Some are a combination of the two.

We are entitled to be picky about who we allow in our country, and not just let anyone who breaks through the border to stay.

Said every single Native American ever.

I saw this a few weeks ago, and it popped up in my feed again.

Is this why the 'shooter' ( that looks like he didnt shoot at all) turned up and brought things to an abrupt end ?!

Basically at the dinner trump would have had to shake hands with the reporters who won an award for posting the infamous epstein birthday card story !! Now that would have been AWKWARD! and trump being a little 'sensitive' about epstein wouldnt have tolerated that.

Nothing would surprise me. 🤔
