Massdriver Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 20 minutes ago, Spawn_of_Apathy said: Interesting I voted in the 2000 Republican primary and do not remember having to register first. So not needing to may be just a Texas thing. Texas is a state where you become registered automatically by the act of voting in a party’s primary. Many other states require a separate registration.

I saw that he donated to a progressive get out the vote organization. I think his motive will become more clear when they dig up some texts and social media.

AbsolutSurgen Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 My wife’s family group chat this morning: SIL Quote So there was an "attempted Trump assassination" at a rally. It feels like an incredibly obvious ploy. 3 shots, no collateral damage. But this is the beginning, folks. My American friends are terrified. Watch the footage. Yeah. So damn shady. Wife Quote The current report from the Pennsylvania Attorney General is one rally attendee is dead and two more were seriously wounded, and the shooter was killed also. But you are right that this is likely to help his campaign. SIL Quote Watch the footage. Trump does not appear surprised at all, or scared. Also the security reaction was nothing close to the legit reaction. Also, how the hell did someone get a gun into a closed rally? Not trying to conspiracy, but this is the exact next step in the playbook. MIL Quote What playbook? Nibling Quote Make him look like a hero or that he’s brave to keep running. Plus since the Supreme Court ruling her could imply Biden called for the hit. Of course this is from the same SIL who told me I was a climate denier when I suggested the “climate catastrophe” wasn’t responsible for increasing volcanism and earthquakes. You always know when someone says “not trying to conspiracy”, that’s exactly what they are doing. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chairslinger Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Both candidates need to be very, very careful going forward. I feel like there was a kind of bedrock assumption that security around a president was so good nowadays that something like this could never happen and so people didn't even try. Because with the amount of political vitriol and easy access to guns it just didn't make sense that this didn't happen more often. I feel like the message certain people will take from this incident might be, "Wow, I didn't realize it would be that easy." 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
