Donald Trump whisked off stage in Pennsylvania after apparent gunshots rang through the crowd

And in fairness to jack black he left the band condemned the comments, broke up a 30 year partnership and pretty much immediately flew back to the Us.

Basically they had to leave the country or the Australian government was going to expel them. The Australian far right who pretty much take their orders from Rupert Murdoch, maga headquarters or want to look relevant to trump (like he’d care about new south Texas) was in the process of wedging the government in to doing so.

You’ll excuse me if I find that claim, like so many others you’ve made, doubtful.

Also let’s not forget that trump is basically running a shadow presidency at this point and has since 2021. He deals with foreign leaders directly like Orban and Modi or opposition leaders like Farange in the Uk and Dutton in Australia.

And increasingly control over foreign leaders and the democracies of other countries. Some of whom appear to be refusing to deal with the Biden administration to prove loyalty.

It’s not only US who are clinging to democracy. France, Germany , Australia, Austria, Italy, Israel, it’s not good.

There's no "behind" in this kind of situation because they can't know if there's not a second shooter. They're trying to cover all sides.

And the POTUS is supposed to keep down so that they *can* cover him. His standing fist thing was probably incredibly frustrating to his protectors.

That's because only Democrats hold each other responsible for their actions. If a democrat does something horrible, other democrats call for their resignation. If a republican does, other republicans defend them even after found guilty of 34 felonies. The only thing the republican party will see as grounds for resignation is not towing the party line at all costs. Rape a 12 year old. No problem. Speak out against Trump and you're censured. Then Kyle Gass makes a comment that's not even as bad as Trump or Trump Jr made about Nancy and Paul Pelosi and MAGA goes fucking nuts. Republicans are the epitome of "you can dish it out but you can't take it."

It's been four days now, and there have been no official medical statements regarding Trump's condition. No doctor's statements. No medical records. Nothing other than several conflicting stories of what his injuries were, lots of "trust me bro", and a truly hilarious ear bandage.

And no one in the media seems even remotely inclined to pursue any further, probably because they're still busy digging through every inch of the records Biden has released with a fine tooth comb and calling endlessly for fitness, mental acuity, and other medical tests. All while getting constantly derided by the GOP for being "fake news".

Hell of a job, media. You're doing great.

If they’re not sharing any info, assume it would not support the “I got shot and I’m strong” narrative. Maybe he had something in his system or wasn’t hurt. Do we have confirmation it was Trump’s blood. Just asking questions….

Rumpy · Post by **Rumpy** » Thu Jul 18, 2024 1:17 pm

Amusingly, the day this happened, we were tuned to a live broadcast on a news channel where they were sharing details as they came in. At one point, there was a sidebar showing the first bit of confirmed news, where it would have said that Trump was shot at in Butler, Pennsylvania. Except, that's not what it said. It said that Trump's butler had been shot at. That's a pretty big gaffe, and I'm not sure if it was a careless aide or AI misinterpreting the details, but it made me do a double-take, and I rewound it to make sure my eyes weren't deceiving me.

The shooter looks more and more like the usual school shooters except he had an opportunity to target an ex-President. More reason why the politicians need to do more to prevent school shootings.

I just wish people on the left would stop with the "false flag/conspiracy theory" nonsense. I have good friends who are firmly convinced that it was all staged and I find it disgusting that they're willing to play the same game as the other side. If both sides stop believing in reality, then we truly are all doomed.

Trump is an opportunist. Of course he's going to go for a photo-op in the middle of getting shot at. Of course he's going to wear a ridiculous giant bandage for his mildly scratched ear. That doesn't make this staged. That's Trump making a situation in which other people died all about himself instead. That's his brand. That's his mental illness. You don't need conspiracy theories to explain that.

Because he's holding his right ear with his right hand as he goes down. I think ears bleed profusely sorta like ball sacks do after you nick them. Don't ask.

Ears don't bleeding that profusely. Trump said something about them bleeding more but they don't. If he grabbed his ear, it was probably with his palm. Not the outside of his fist.

STOP. MAKING. SENSE. lol

It’s amazing to me that in a land obsessed with conspiracy there is no conspiracy. Just like Sandy Hook, just like other mass shootings there is no conspiracy. Just a lone gunman, an intelligent gun obsessed loner with no economic prospects who couldn’t afford to go to college who wanted to go out in a blaze of glory. With no political agenda.

Oh yeah? Then why have all reports on the grassy knoll been suppressed? I have it on good authority that the real assassin was Col. Mustard, with the pistol on the grassy knoll.

I fully thought it was staged until I heard about the people who got hit and the guy who died.
I was talking about this with my mom and said that no matter how much of a dirt bag he is I can't accept that he would do something like this that directly led to at least one death.
Not to mention the shooter would have to have been some type of extremely talented sharpshooter to have been able to just clip Trump's ear like that. Yes of it was staged then Trump could have used a blood capsule or something to fake it but then we run back into someone dying.

LordMortis · Post by **LordMortis** » Sat Jul 20, 2024 8:31 am

Never thought it was staged but given the sound and how no one was moving, I wasn't convinced it was a shooting nor assassination attempt until shooting was confirmed.

I wouldn't think that, but the thought that they're ALL in it together from both sides just playing all of us rubes could enter my mind. I think Zuckerberg just intimated that he "messed with" the last presidential election, but doesn't intend to mess with this one.

I think you give way too much credit to forces that just broadcast the stupidity of others, not generates it. The end result may be the same, but you don’t hang the town cryer for talking about what’s trending. You can blame them for not fact checking, I suppose. But as we all know, the moment you start fact checking Trump, he and his supporters erupt in outrage and claim folks are being unfair to them.

If hes interfering he’s doing so for trump and the far right has been for a long time. Cambridge analytica sponsored by an alliance of far right American and British interests and Russian oligarchs led to Brexit and the 2016 election result in swing states.

Study after study shows that you tube, Facebook etc are completed dominated by far right narratives and that is impacting not just this election but is converting young men in particular to narratives of female inferiority, racism etc and this is spilling out into real life in our schools and workplaces.

The super rich are lining up being trump for the sweet sweet tax cuts and the tech bros for unrestricted crypto and AI.
