I know . It’s a shame this forum has been taken over by some of societies sickest individuals.

No such sympathy for the 1000s Trump has had killed in Iran or the Cubans that he is right now, starving to death.

For god sake, are there no competent assassins these days?

I am really shocked at the comments wishing death on somebody because of their political views. That is appalling. When I don’t agree with a politician I don’t wish them to be murdered. Have people in the UK forgotten David Amis and Jo Cox. If trump were to be assassinated it would be a disaster, the ramifications would be huge civil/global unrest, leading to god knows what. Biden was far worse and people didn’t call for him to be killed. People calling fro trumps death need to get a grip.

You get a grip
Shocked"" the guys a piece of shit
Embarrsing to try explain this clown to my family.
Causing companies fuel problems..
Hope he get hit very soon.

If you dont want to watch it all watch from 6 minutes in ...its interesting what Kathryn Leavitts husband had to say beforehand but the narrative was cut off...and then the 'this is why we need a ballroom' narrative when the building has stalled recently. Its all so convenient, recently cancelled talks, 2 week deadline ending, terrible polls, recent emergence of the last assassination attempt in Butler and its authenticity. Distract distract distract.

I hope you have been equally appalled by the pedo president who is randomly murdering fishermen, starving Cubans, enabling gazan genocide, stopping child cancer research, while filling his own pockets and stuffing his face while American service men are on paltry food rations on active service. Would you be crying for the German dictator ?

I'll save my tears for someone more worthy.

I guess killing inconvenient people is something the far left and far right have in common...

It might save a lot of lives if he was shot to be honest. Same with Hitler if Munich had been successful.

Leftists say this shit but pretend it’s not an incitement to violence.

Hw can’t keep crying wolf every time he thinks he needs a boost in the polls - it’s getting ridiculous. And some poor soul always dies 😔

What evidence do you have regarding this? Or are you throwing mud hoping some idiot believes it.

im in no way a fan of Trump, but I’m even less of a fan of hypocrites.

Time for a Go Fund Me to provide better training for future attempts?

I think a lot of people right across the world would happily contribute.

Have you not seen the footage of the alleged “attacker” running past security. Come on! Said security were supposed to be guarding a highly vilified president in one of the most powerful countries in the world with a big gun problem. I’ve been to post offices in the USA with better security.

It’s almost like this is a well known philosophical dilemma being debated for decades!!! If a bad person is killed, you need to be sure as hell that what follows isn’t worse. It’s very rarely just the person, it’s usually the circumstances which allow bad men to rise, if one bad man is killed, there will be be 100 more waiting in the wings. You need to understand the circumstances that make people choose men like Trump to lead. Only by changing the circumstances will the outcome change.

Guess you are all about the 2nd amendment now 🙄

(I’m right-wing but actually think it should be tighter restrictions, always have been like that)

Its just ... A LOT of men, kind of chaotic

But that's probably the norm in these circumstances - they've probably not had this much work before

how do they keep missing the orange crumpet

Because leftists glorify political violence. Even on this thread you can see them.

I am actually more right-wing than Trump in most respects. So I feel threatened by them
too. They’d kill me without a second thought and brand themselves virtuous.

Turns out it’s okay when you apply it to your enemies!

Do they? I thought it was the right wing NRA who think it’s ok for children to be shot in schools.

And the whole storming of the White House in 2021 when Trump lost the election was the peaceful rational Right was it?

What do you mean by "pulling this trick again?"

Most people, including a lot of MAGAs these days, think that he stages this stuff to seem all courageous and hero like. Most people think its a load of bollocks though, including me.

I cannot stand him Donald Trump and I cannot wait to see the back of him. But political assassination is appalling. It is anti democratic and sets a dangerous precedent that harms all of us, regardless of where we stand. we cannot resort to lawlessness when it suits us because we then lose the legal foundation that protects everyone. Only a fool would think otherwise.

It was the same after Charlie Kirk.

It's horrifying to see how the extremes on both sides have lost their humanity, and have complete ignorance of the concept of democracy.

Not a single thought in their heads but being 'right'.

'If I think it is morally justified to publicly encourage the killing of someone I disagree with, someone bigger and badder may come along that also thinks it's morally justified to kill those I agree with. And then democracy means nothing, it just comes down to who is bigger and stronger, and that probably isn't going to be me.'
