US Politics, July 2024 - "Will you just drop out, man?"

I’m sure there won’t be any conspiracy theories about this

Remember when Trump faked having COVID and survived and then won by a landslide in 2020 cos all voters finally saw COVID was a sham

yeah all those independents who hated his guts will suddenly vote for him out of sympathy?

More money given for ads, more psychos doing a bit of freelance voter intimidation, more just showing up to vote in general. Little things.

The footage,like the mugshot, makes him look badass.

Idk I prefer to think about the things that are real and actively already costing Biden the election

how the fuck do you miss from there

/euro thread cross post

LMAO

Doomcasting is a universal epidemic like gun violence

More money given for ads

I haven't seen a single Trump ad this year. I've seen tons of ads about what a piece of shit Tim Sheehy is; it's all I get on YouTube. But zero pro-Trump shit.

more psychos doing a bit of freelance voter intimidation

You can try that shit, but the old ladies running the polling places will kick your ass. And when they're done, they'll call your mother and tell her to come get you.

more just showing up to vote in general

Nah. He's got every single remaining member of his cult already on board, and he's not winning anyone over with this bullshit.

The footage,like the mugshot, makes him look badass.

Jesus, you're such a mark.

What would actually be funnier is the shooter going to the press and saying it was a bb gun and that he only fired it into the air

You scoff but it sure fucking does

Badass I guess is in the eye of the beholder, he looks like a tryhard in that mugshot, like he thought of a shitty movie where you think the villain is dead but his eyes open as the credits roll

I get it, the invicibility cult is going to need to steel itself mentally for the next few months. Stay strong.

As the people saying for years that Biden's age and mental state would be a negative in the election have been proven conclusively wrong.

It isn't what you said so much as your automatic flip to cracking your knuckles and saying, "Here's why this is bad for Joe Biden."

I would avoid being 100 percent certain about the outcome here, pro or con

I've been offline all day and had absolutely no reason to think there'd be any news on a Saturday evening but I felt compelled to open this thread anyhow. Wow.

From MSNBC: Former President Donald Trump was rushed offstage at Pennsylvania rally by Secret Service after loud popping noises heard during the event. Trump had blood on his ear and pumped his first as he left the stage. He appeared conscience the entire time.

This really is the wrong timeline, isn't it

My theory that is 1000% true and you are an idiot if you think otherwise: That loud popping noise was from the blood vessels in his brain

explains the ear bleeding, and the fist pumping was his autonomic nervous system

He had an orgasm.

There's a fatality.

Guess that's fake

ooh ooh ooh, i got it, the would-be assassin was a typical member of the Democratic Party, missing the easiest target possible

It isn't what you said so much as your automatic flip to cracking your knuckles and saying, "Here's why this is bad for Joe Biden."

If you check again, you might find that I didn’t say that? I said I wouldn’t be dismissive of the idea that it matters.

AP: shooter and bystander dead

I was hoping to catch some of the Trump rally but he's a half-hour late and counting and I'm going tonight to Earth, Wind & Fire + Chicago with my mom, so think I'm going to have to punt on live coverage. Have a lovely Saturday.

Whatever the story of this turns out to be, there’s going to be retaliatory violence, especially in red states. There are a lot of people who have been waiting for an excuse.

Lotta people saying "the shooter was bad, he couldn't shoot straight" but what if the dead guy was the target?

Convicted Felon Shot In Ear In Pennsylvania

NRA Cheerleader Licked By Hot Lead In Keystone State

Battleground State Becomes Actual Battleground

There will be violence in America from his cult members even if this fuck wins in November. They’re itching to murder anyone

“Notice how none of Trump’s supporters flee?”

Yeah, it’s hard to run when you’re morbidly obese

I'm frankly surprised this hasn't happened sooner, and absolutely certain there will continue to be lots of politically motivated violence in the near future

Why would you flee when that makes you an easier target rather than ducking for cover

Was the shooting an "official act"

trumpists are living in their own reality. this will not change their behavior, which is already violent. trump has been telling them that democrats want rapists and murderers to eat their babies. trumpists have been acting like that is true for years.

I’ve reached a place with Trump where I find this hilarious.

Is that his hair, or part of the hat?

Probably one of those novelty visors.

He still wastes his time going to church? Trump doesn’t do that shit
