You so want it to be true though. Still pounding that drum so hard, weird.

 

 

Yeah, that might do it.

Yeah, if you're going to make something up about a rally you should at least wait until the rally has taken place.

Drums are cool. I'd recommend trying something like a saxophone instead, though. Or a piano if you don't have to move it anywhere.

It certainly looked staged...until I found out that somebody was killed.

I don't think that constitutes proof positive that it couldn't have been staged.

I think people who can’t accept that a FELON  who hangs out with members of the Russian mafia would be involved with crime are stupid.

Or aggressively ignorant. One or the other.

I think at least one person on here as already said that he could see Drumpf being willing to accept somebody being killed in order to stage some of the event... he has been shown in the past to be callous when somebody near him is hurt. 

That said, no, I don't think it was staged. Not the first one anyway.

The second situation makes me think that the party's "we think people should be allowed to carry a gun everywhere" doesn't apply to everybody.

What I don't understand is why it's so important to him for people to think he was hit by a bullet. Isn't being shot at serious enough all by itself?

Are you really trying to understand why Trump thinks the way he does!  It will drive you crazy. 😃

I know. I really picked the wrong time to be at home recovering from surgery.... I need to do something relaxing, like reading the books on serial killers that I just got!

Even mailroom gov’t employees have some level of security clearance. Clarity is starting to settle in.

He is a criminal who has a credible history of rape.  Yeah, i could see him killing someone.

Quote

Donald Trump’s private life is marked by a cascade of sordid episodes. But so is his public life. Trump simply has no character.

When I asked a scholar what Shakespearean figure Trump most resembles, he replied that Trump is not complex enough to be one. You have to have a character to have a tragic flaw that mars your character.

 

 

And that raises the question: How did the America of George Washington never telling a lie, the America of Honest Abe, the America of the Greatest Generation, the America of Gary Cooper facing down a murderous gang alone in “High Noon” — how did this America, our America, become a place where a man with no character has an even chance of being re-elected president?

who knew, Fetterman is a closet republican!

The only thing I can think of is that there are many people who look at stories of the Wild West with its lawlessness and find them romantic. The reality was different, of course but people still like the idea.

What happened at Cobo was the most disgraceful thing to happen jn the city since the riots. A bunch of white people demanding they stop counting the votes of black Detroiters.  My wife and I lost a friend over that.  He was down there and we both flat out told him we are done with him. The police should have tear gassed those people out on to Jefferson and and March them up Woodward to Highland Park or up Gratiot a few miles. Then as Marcellus Wallace said…. They can get mideivel on them.    I’m half joking.

It's Bill Maher, but this is good:

https://x.com/billmaher/status/1852552373484589118

so true. Here is another clip from last night as well where he calls out the media for NOT portraying the clip with full context about Cheney.  Mainstream media is fully on board with Harris. Instead of reporting facts on both sides they are in a frenzy. Bill having to call them out is amazing.

If mainstream is totally on board with Trump's opponent, then it's about time.  He is one of the worst human beings in America and they've been letting get away with murder for 9 years.

Absolutely stunning. If this is accurate, which Seltzer is one of the best polls there is, we are looking at a landslide.

That’s fair. I really do believe though they think they are bulletproof and that it wouldn’t even matter if they got caught.
