You'd have to have the IQ of a turnip to post or say in any forum/stage that you wish Trump had died.

Wrong.

It is possible to recognize that the assassination attempt was wrong and never should have happened. And that such an attempt will only make matters in the country worse.

But it also possible to recognize that once that threshold is crossed, it would be better for the country had the effort not failed.

Both can be, and are, true.

Agreed, but mainly for a different reason than the ones you mentioned.

Perhaps I am overly paranoid, but that isn't something that I would recommend that anyone say on video or on the internet in the modern surveillance age.

I meant in a setting that matters (and by someone that matters). I'm fairly confident I could say "I wish politician X would be assassinated" and there would be no real life consequences. Meanwhile Tenacious D is no more and there is a movement to kick them out of Australia....although I'd imagine they've already left.

Agreed with this as well.


Yeah, everyone has to be civil and appropriate and say or not say the right things, while Trump can say and do as he pleases and call for people to be jailed and executed and it's all good. Seems totally legit.

Go ahead and say what you want. Have fun.

I have regular golf partners. If I decided to inject politics into our rounds of golf I'd no longer have regular golf partners (I know one of them is a liberal). They'd say "yeah, you're no longer welcome." That'd be my choice.

That's fine and a pragmatic approach.

I am talking about the pearl clutching and rushing to fainting couches about how the left are the ones lowering the level of political discourse and/or being antidemocratic if they say they wish he was dead, when the guy routinely calls for journalists to be jailed and called for a general to be executed, amongst other things.

He didn't ask any questions until after he made assertions.

Unbelievable... I've had to stop reading the Russia and Israel threads since you've been back trying to avoid your BS, and now you bring it here as well.

You are so addicted to dishonestly sabotage of the forums that you even do it to defend people who are your ideological opposite. Yet you somehow think people are supposed to take you seriously.

address the content and not the poster.

"let's put Trump in the bullseye"

Radical kid: "ok Mr. President, I'm on it"

He forgot to add "peacefully". That makes all the difference, didntcha know?

Anyway, what's your point? I have quotes too:


Donald Trump, on his social-media network, Truth Social, wrote that Mark Milley’s phone call to reassure China in the aftermath of the storming of the Capitol on January 6, 2021, was “an act so egregious that, in times gone by, the punishment would have been DEATH.”

I'm sure you're shocked that Trump said such a thing and withdraw your support for him immediately, right?


the point is lols

If you're out with a group of friends and someone farts, do you laugh? Be honest.

I mean depends on the situation.


I guess I just don't understand what's funny about Trump. I like lols as much as the next guy, but Trump has pretty much all the wit and sophistication of a wet fart, which is why I asked.

I mean it's not just me. Seems fairly universally agreed he's one of the funniest presidents. Google it. And it's not because he's some stand up comedic genius. He has some decent bits but mostly it's outlandish soundbites and buffoonery that bring the lols.

Incredible how some right wing dillweed takes a shot at Trump and somehow we're scolding the left for intemperate speech.

Not a chance I saw Lester Holt and Biden's mumbling excuse was I meant to say crosshairs. Oh like that is a difference . Biden is fine with that comment No one is hearing that and saying Oh I guess Ill go shoot Trump. Though The Dems were incensed when the GOP did it

What physical advantages do men have over women when it comes to holstering a weapon or being a meat shield?

I'd rather have a 200 lb meat shield that is 6 ft tall than a 140 lb meat shield that is 5ft5 or whatever.


Not even up for debate.


by d2_e4 P

I mean, horsenut quite obviously has a point there. Obviously, some people are going to be better candidates than others, and this goes for any job. And of those, some will be the best. This seems like a silly hill to die on.

Yeah this argument is very odd.


If you have a 6 ft 2, 270 lb guy to protect, the best candidate for the job will be other 6 feet humans, 200+lbs that can move.


Anyone that thinks otherwise has clearly clearly lost the plot here and doesn't think straight.

Sure, but blocking a bullet with your body seems like only a tiny part of Secret Service work. Otherwise, the ideal agent would look like Andre the Giant.


It's not clear to me that was her job at all, probably due to the reasons mentioned. Asking where they're going isn't necessarily bad either.

I doubt anyone here is actually qualified to be commenting on this.

I mean, I don't know much about secret service work, but I doubt her job was to duck behind the guy they are supposed to be protecting lol. Although, as I said before, can't blame her, I'd have been waving a big red flag and shouting "he's over here!" You know, to get more help, obviously.


That extra 60 lbs of human flesh is essential when it comes to stopping a round from an AR-15.
