Old son, we been on this road for a piece now.
Proud child rapist and convicted felon Donald Trump needs to be in prison, not in the ground. Dying just lets him get away with his numerous numerous crimes without punishment. Hopefully he makes a full recovery and can rot for many years to come, preferably without any additional votes gained from surviving an assassination attempt
Agreed. He’s old AF and lives on McDonald’s - death isn’t that far off anyways. More to the point, everybody dies . Death isn’t justice. Everybody dies. The only way for America to heal from what he’s done is for him to see the inside of a jail cell. That possibility seems increasingly remote.
It’s wild how the US allow convicted felon to be in politic, even worst so run for president.
But they can’t vote. You can run the country, but your vote doesn’t count.
Point of note, child rapist and convicted felon Donald Trump specifically will likely be able to vote. Florida law is that felons convicted in other states follow the law of that state for if a felon is allowed to vote. New York law is that only incarcerated felons lose their vote. So unless he’s sentenced to prison and the sentence starts before November he’ll be able to vote in Florida without any additional special treatment
And even if that weren’t true, he could vote anyway because he has God Mode from his past presidency, no?
At that point, we’re just doing it to be petty. Not like we’re gonna reform him and make him see the error in his ways in there. It’s just punishment for punishment’s sake.
An assassination attempt was logical at face value, at least. Trump poses a threat, so you eliminate that threat, just as you would an animal stalking you. Of course, killing trump isn’t actually going to end this craziness.
But how do you put someone that’s above the law in jail?

Sorry old man, you’re 8 years too fucking late, at minimum.
Funny how the powerful have nothing against violence when it’s the military industrial complex (including the Israel extension) killing poor and defenseless civilians in the tens or even hundreds of thousands, but the moment someone tries to assassinate a tyrant, violence is abhorrent.
I would argue that it’s the other way around: the only murder that’s ever acceptable, even beneficial to the common good, is the assassination of a tyrant whom the people cannot get rid of in any other way.
A tyrant such as the Mango Mussolini, future fascist dictator of the United States.
America must also not go down the road of 1930s Germany.
Then do something about it you piece of shit. One man is responsible for the majority of the particularly violent rhetoric, and one party is responsible for nearly all of it.
People in power really don’t like The myth of decorum, a “polite” society coming to end. People can see how silly it is to say this while being active in an ongoing genocide. There is no unifying with Trump cultists. They are not good people even if they are my fellow countrymen.
He means the road that has already existed in American politics for over a hundred years and now resembles a highway.
I’m fine with it.
So true. He should have had the military do this a few weeks ago, if not years ago.
He’s right. Violence like this will only beget more violence. We need to be clear on our side that we don’t endorse anything of the kind.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I’m not gonna lie: if yesterday had gone a different way, I’d’ve been pretty happy about it.
Dude, it’s weird. I don’t actually care about the details of the assassination beyond the fact that it didn’t work. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this way about a person before. It’s very odd.
I’ve been going back and forth about this all day. On one hand, I think it’s obvious that Trump is a symptom of the right wing’s systemic slide into open authoritarianism, rather than its architect… but on the other hand, I don’t think his cult of personality would have long outlived him (especially if it turned out he was assassinated by a fellow right-winger over his ties to Epstein) and there’s not many figures on the right who would be able to reconstitute it quickly. On the other hand, I don’t think his cult members would go gentle into the night, and there would be ugly, violent reprisals. On the other hand, I fear there’s going to be violence no matter what, and it’s probably better for it to happen before the election than after for a host of reasons. But on the other hand, etc., etc…
This administration is just beyond embarrassing. Imagine what we look like on the world stage. Good Lord.
Well, from Australia it is both fascinating and yet produces a really sad feeling for you guys. I really wish you well, but don’t see a way out for you.
Secondly, what happens in the US hardly ever just stays in the US. You guys are an idea factory. But not all of them are good ideas. I hope that our institutions are trusted enough to whether the coming storm.
I really wish you well, but don’t see a way out for you.
I’ll admit, even the optimal path in front of us is not looking too good. And I’m the guy in the office that’s saying “no worries” most of the time. A Biden win still leaves us with a corrupt supreme court and equally corrupt and deadlocked congress.
You guys are an idea factory
Thanks for saying this. Perhaps our greatest export is our culture, but it would seem that’s the good, bad, and ugly all at once. I really do wish it was only the good stuff.
Not even close to how bad we looked when the child raping traitor occupied the Whitehouse.
Are you my biggest fan now?
Keeping turning that other cheek and eventually it’ll be pleasant. Or at least, that’s what my educational sources from the Hub tell me.
Yeah it wasn’t even a cool electro spear like what the guy on Japan had
The fuckin’ splatoon gun works, though, apparently.
