Someone just tried to assassinate Trump

[Nightwolfz]

Were you under the impression that what happened was legal? Because it wasn't and domestic terrorism should always be spoken out against. Which is why its particularly ironic the most high profile domestic terrorist in the nation was the subject of it himself.

Nobody would speak out against the assassination of Hitler. I would be happy to hear of a legitimate domestic terrorist being killed.

The point is Trump is neither of these and he's just someone you disagree with politically. That's why when actual violence occurs against him, it's rejected universally by any fair minded person.

Well no, Hitler is a pretty accurate comparison to Trump. Republicans are eager for an authoritarian overthrowing hundreds of years of a successful democracy. For some reason.

Well, most Republicans. At least one we know wasn't a fan.

WOW!! Everytime I am like can Seran be more dumb and then you go and prove yes, yes you are.

All he knows how to do is project.

And shit his pants.

And be on welfare.

The FEC record DOES NOT say that he donated.
It lists the address as Pittsburgh, PA only (shooter's registration was listed as Bethel Park, PA). At least Two other people in Pittsburgh have the same name.


Maybe you should do a little research, before you make claims he donated. No one is even sure it was him who made the donation, and it was most likely someone in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with the same name as him who made that donation, as he has lived and grew up in Bethel Park.




And a Democrat wearing a demolition ranch shirt… yes that SCREAMS him being a democrat… lol

Did you notice that zip code 15102 comes back Bethel Park?

I know the feeling. Seran’s head must be as vast, empty, and dark as Stormy Daniel’s snatch.

Picture it..

President William McKinley was assassinated in 1901. His Vice President, Theodore Roosevelt, became President. Roosevelt served out the remainder of McKinley's unexpired term and was elected to a full term in 1904. At the end of his nearly two terms in office, Roosevelt did not run for reelection. William Howard Taft, endorsed by Roosevelt, was elected in 1908. Roosevelt became dissatisfied with Taft's performance, and Roosevelt ran for reelection in 1912, a rare instance of a former President running for a non-consecutive term.

A would-be assassin shot Roosevelt in October of 1912 as Roosevelt was preparing to deliver a speech in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. According to the assassin, he was acting on instructions from the ghost of William McKinley. The bullet passed through Roosevelt's steel glasses case and his 50-page speech, both in his coat pocket, before entering Roosevelt's chest.

Roosevelt knew a lot about firearms and bullet wounds. Despite the bleeding from the wound, he concluded that, because he was not coughing up blood, the bullet had not pierced his lungs. As a consequence, he dismissed calls to be taken to the hospital. Instead, he instructed that the assassin should not be harmed by the crowd that had taken custody of him, probably saving the assassin's life. Roosevelt then delivered the planned speech, as his shirt continued to become more and more stained with blood. The speech lasted for 90 minutes, beginning with, "Friends, I shall ask you to be as quiet as possible. I don't know whether you fully understand that I have just been shot, but it takes more than that to kill a Bull Moose." Supporters of Roosevelt were thereafter called the Bull Moose Party.

Doctors later confirmed that Roosevelt was correct about the bullets. Roosevelt died in 1919. Some doctors believe the bullet lodged in his chest contributed to his demise, but that is just speculation.

Although the story of the attempted assassination became central to the 1912 election, Roosevelt nonetheless lost. But we got a good story out of it!

Is this history repeating itself? Or, at least, rhyming, as Mark Twain said?

Picture it…

Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980. A would be assassin shot him in 1981 narrowly missing his heart. Reagan’s approval rating jumped roughly 10 points in the following months. He went on to win his 1984 reelection with 525 electoral votes from 49 states.

ClydeR, I see you are still in the first stage of grief. The PC is here to support you in coping with another Donald Trump presidency. Just let it all out…
