ex-President Trump
I assume it's still acceptable to have a Trump thread in a Politics forum?
So this is an obvious lie - basically aimed at low-info Boomers like my religions aunts. I have two questions:
a) Is anyone here who supports Trump bothered by lies like this?
b) Does anyone know what he's even talking about here? Like is there some grain of truth that he's embellishing on bigly?
You are the one insisting on harping on his politics, so don't pretend like it's someone else that wants to make it political. It's you.
And no, being anti-Trump is hardly only a liberal stance. A group of Republicans tried to remove him from the ballot in Colorado. It was pretty exclusively Republicans testifying against him in front of the J6 committee. A lot of republicans are mad for what he has done to the party.
And he was wearing the t
Most gun enthusiasts are repub, but not all. Suggesting this idiot doesn’t lean left with the lack of info we have is coming off very conspiracy theory of you. Do you think everyone who shoots someone else with a gun and watches a YouTube channel about guns is from the right?
Hi.
Some of you may know I was an intelligence analyst. I've done several threat assessments. Rooftops is one of the first priorities.
The critical issue is the failure of the secret service. That rooftop not being secured is a preparation issue. It's such an egregious oversight it's hard not to be conspiratorial. However, the odds on favorite is complacency, apathy, and incompetence.
I'm not going to criticize once stuff started going down. By that time it's too late anyways and you got to make do with what you got.
Politics:
The actual motivation of the shooter is irrelevant. Shooter is a wack job, either way.
The right has lost trust and confidence in institutions. You can't have 51 intelligence people say "hall mark of Russian disinformation" to discredit factual reporting about the Bidens, amoung many other distortions and lies, and expect people to believe them on something like this.
The left repeatedly saying "threat to democracy" has come home to roost.
That photo won Trump the election, especially in contrast to a much feebler Biden.
Have a good summer!
Trump asking for his shoes as the secret service attempts to drag him away from almost being assassinated has got to be the most baller move in the history of US Politics.

How would anyone know you were an intelligence analyst when this is your very first post?
Btw, my understanding is that those were 51 former intelligence officials, not members of any "institution" and there is no proof that the Biden campaign had anything to do with it. Plus, the laptop turned out to be a nothingburger.
Not sure how else a President who attempted to coerce others to overturn the results of a US Presidential election could be more accurately classified.
You don't understand. Trump being a threat to democracy is a minor foible, people saying that he's a threat to democracy is the real problem here.

A person can't be a threat to something if it's not possible for him to circumvent.
Trump engaged in lawfare in order to change the results of the election. He wasn't successful because elections are ran at the state level, and any nefarious act by a state actor is going to get checked by the courts.
I don't find Trump's lawfare to be appealing, quite the opposite. However, the response has been hyperbolic. Like good lefties, you guys get spun up by the political narratives and you lose sight of reality.
TIL that inciting an insurrection is "lawfare".
Merrick Garland called it an attack on democracy.

So a failed attempt to overturn the results of a Presidential election is not a threat because there were others around to stop it. That means the kid who failed in his attempt to murder Trump is not a threat because the secret service was there to shoot his head off to stop it.
You also left out how since 2020 Republicans have worked to replace state election officials with those sympathetic to Trump, so that future attempts to overturn an election will be successful.
And I'm not a lefty. I'm just not a seditious Republican who places party above country and doesn't believe in The Constitution.
Oh boy, HIV is back.
Remember when he used to go on multi-day probably meth-fueled posting binges until somebody finally put him out of his misery and dropped the banhammer? Good times.
ETA: I seem to recall he was also a genius with numbers, stuff like percentages and division by powers of 10. Hopefully he get an opportunity to demonstrate that again on his return.
04/02-24 CSPAN: Donald Trump Calls President Biden a "Threat to Democracy"
"A vote for Trump is a vote to save Wisconsin and is a vote to save your country. This country is finished if we don’t win this election" 2024 GOP presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump told supporters in Green Bay as voters made their way to the voting polls for the state's primary election. He went on to tell voters that President Biden "is a threat to democracy".
What do you calling inciting an assassination attempt?
You guys don't know it, yet, but you've lost the rhetoric battle.
This is beyond asinine. It would be completely inaccurate (as well as civic and political malpractice) for Democrats to describe Trump's behavior as anything other than an attempt to undermine democracy.
And it is ludicrous to suggest that the current state of our politics is attributable to Democratic unwillingness to rely on doublespeak to describe Trump's behavior.
Cannon throws out the docs case
This is equal parts absolute ****ing bullshit and entirely predictable
