The more pertinent question is why everyone is hyper focusing on Springfield you dickhead. Literally the only thing these assholes are priming is violence should Harris wins. | ||

Vance is slowly transforming from merely a spineless, opportunistic, cowardly laughingstock into a legitimate threat to society. The fact that he joined Trump in Trump's latest bout of stochastic terrorism - these racist attacks on innocent people living in Ohio, full of lies and fearmongering and hatemongering, which are leading to actual threats and property damage - is incredibly alarming. Vance has already stated that he would have helped Trump steal the election if he were in Pence's position during the January 6th insurrection too. He wasn't going to make that 'mistake' twice. | ||

Depending on how this Loomer situation goes the next couple of weeks, this may spiral into an actual dead campaign. Trump has already been bleeding influence and favors lately. He has a very tough choice to make right now. But I guarantee you she has a contingency plan to make sure she doesn’t get tossed in the trash. I think it’s entirely possible she has firm and devastating blackmail on him at this point. She would absolutely tweet her own sex videos with him if he tries to ditch her. Assuming she has such things. I am beginning to think we may be looking at checkmate depending on if he pulls off a miracle in the next couple of weeks | ||

It's still crazy to me that Trump is so arrogant that he picked a mini-him/beta-cuck-simp as his runningmate, as opposed to someone who would balance the ticket and lock in way more votes, like Nikki Haley. | ||

I read the shooting incident in florida had nothing to do with trump and was two other people shooting at each other - but that the shootout happened somewhat in the vincinity of Trump. Same here. oBlade is wrong. | ||

Not necessarily, the event is too recent and there's conflicting reports still. New York Post added that two people exchanging gunfire meant specifically for each other engaged in a shootout. The shooters were not targeting Trump, the sources said, according to the outlet. However, CNN reported contradictory information. Citing its own sources, the network reported that officials believed the shots at the golf club were indeed intended for Trump. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/15/trump-safe-gunshots-golf-course | ||

Even if one of the two shooters was actually hoping to eventually shoot at Trump, they didn't. They may have fired shots, but not at Trump. | ||

But my Norwegian media made it seem like it wasn't really related to Trump from my first read, and I'm afraid to revisit the page because I'm watching a football match with 1 hour delay and it'll probably get spoiled if I go there. If that were the case, then it'd be accurate to say that an assassination attempt was foiled, but not that someone actually shot at Trump. Anyways, I'm sure that Trump and his allies will pearl-clutch and assert the worst, regardless of the facts, as always. | ||

It's like he's practically begging Swifties to register and vote against him. | ||

If someone went to a Trump golf course with the intent to shoot and kill Trump it really doesn't make a difference if the shots intended for Trump were close enough to hit him. Arguing the semantics of "shots intended for Trump" vs "shot at Trump" is kind of silly but it's exponentially more silly when it doesn't even affect oBlade's point. | ||

But i assume the basis for the hostility towards Latino migrants is built on as different basis. It feels kind of strange from him because you would never have, say, an anti Spanish sentiment in France and the target of the anti immigration sentiment are people who are culturally further away. The grief against migrants, as best as I can tell, is entirely dependent on what region you're in In blue states/cities they are disliked because they are a strain on public resources and other legitimate problems. In red states/cities they are disliked because they are black and brown. | ||

You know if Taylor Swift was to say anything even remotely bad about KH or good about Trump he'd be saying how much he loves her and expect all his biggest fans on the internet to forget that he posted this. Which is fine, but we all know they would oblige and the gaslighting would immediately begin. Again. | ||

Except oBlade didn't even bother to say who would have hypothetically been creating that stochastic terrorism (and it's not like Harris or Walz are telling people to attack Trump, whereas Trump and Vance are consistently gaslighting their supporters into harming others), so: 1. That hypothetical might not be stochastic terrorism anyway; 2. It. Still. Didn't. Actually. Happen. So oBlade is wrong in two ways. Thanks! | ||

This will totally be enough of a smoke bomb to kill the momentum against Loomer. I think Loomer is able to hold on against the backlash and remain in his inner circle now. What exactly is going on with Loomer? I keep hearing about how she's insane and also spending a lot of time with Trump, but I don't know how/why it's a big deal all of a sudden. Did something recently happen with her (besides her crazy argument with MTG)? | ||
