I mean he should have been caught by then, full stop, realistically they just let him try to kill Trump i don't believe anything else, everything about this situation is stupid and unrealistic.

Dude should have taken drugs at this point probably anyways.

Well you see, the secret service has certain rules of engagement.

Except the snipers were 'police' and pointed right at him already.

Idk maybe they weren't actually police, or secret service. Maybe they were just actors.

I feel we will just not know what actually happenned down there and i personally don't exactly care.

What I really like to see would be Trump`s medical records. Why cover all this up when you have nothing to hide.

Turns out the Orange Trumptard was never hit by a bullet.

And? How does that change anything?

[DoomsDay]

imagine this, the government give people the right to bear arms to fight oppression from government, it is written in the constitution during the founding of the nation, so that later politician cant change it to suit their own need without touching the foundation of the nation.

what did this Thomas do? is he demonstrating guns isnt enough to fight oppression anymore?

He was a registered Republican.

Therefore "a Republican."

If we're talking about personal behavior and online social interactions being the defining traits for someone's political affiliation, instead, then many so-called "Republicans" are not actually conservatives or traditional "Republicans," but are Fascists and other, less savory, terms. But, we don't have any other powerful political parties dedicated to those ideals, so...

And, I used to be a "Republican." Now, I'm just a "Fiscal Conservative." What I am not, however, is a fascist, totalitarian, misogynistic, wacko. While that could be just about anyone of any political affiliation, those seem to gravitate to one side of the line these days. I don't know if there is a party-registration card for those sorts.

As far as the shooter, it appears he really just wanted his name in the history books. He was probably more inspired by the school's "Shooting Club" refusing him for unsafe practices and unskilled performance, or whatever. So, I guess maybe he decided to show them what he could do? Dunno, data is still unfolding.

like demonrats using terms like social democrat when it just means communist.

Let's not confuse pro-Trump or pro-Biden with Republican or Democrat.

The first two are people, the other two are political parties.

There's no reason you can't be a Republican or Democrat (or neither or both) and still hate both of those guys.

Yep. Exactly.
And you can still like Biden as a Republican.
People really need to stop thinking everything is black and white literally.

And that every Republican is a member of the G.O.P and also idolizes Trump.
OOF.

Same with every Democrat liking Biden.

Heck, my dad was a card carrying member of the Republican party all his life, and he liked Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton even recognized him decades later when meeting my dad in North Carolina at like a fundraiser, or something like one.
I'm not 100% certain what it was, my memory is faulty after so many decades.

Trump shooter, Thomas Crooks, signed up as a registered Republican.

He was actually monitoring both Joe Biden and Donald Trump, having thousands of photos of each. He just decided on Trump. He did have a small $15 donation on the Democrat side, but apart from that, it was all Trumpism. It was soon after Trump denied Project 2025.

I think he supported Trump, but then got pissed off with some of his denial from what he was actually doing.

I wonder how much they paid this guy to say this. Probably not much

Interestingly, his other classmates described him as a quiet kid that wouldn't talk to anyone, let alone express political opinion.

Trump gunman Thomas Crooks likely had a Gab account that he used to ‘support’ President Biden, site’s CEO says

โพสต์ดั้งเดิมโดย nypost link:

Gab CEO Andrew Torba said he learned Wednesday that Thomas Matthew Crooks “may have had an account on our platform” after getting “an emergency disclosure request from a law enforcement agency.”

The account @epicmicrowave — which the CEO stressed he has been “unable to confirm” was definitely Crooks’ — “posted on the site nine (9) times total,” Torba tweeted just 30 minutes after getting the law enforcement request.

An undated image obtained 14 July, 2024 shows a driver's license photograph of Thomas Matthew Crooks.

“While the account made very few posts on the site, the majority of them were in support of President Biden,” said the CEO of the platform launched in 2016 as a completely free-speech alternative to Twitter.

“A number of posts in particular expressed support for President Biden’s COVID lockdowns, border policies and executive orders.”

The whole reason he was registered as Republican is because PA is as closed primary state and the left has a history of try to primary people in states where they have large numbers. He voted for Nikki in April 2024 she got 16 percent of the vote even though she dropped out months before. Her donors were mostly Democrats. Look up RINO to understand Nikki.

True, but it's not like they're going to be convinced.
They'll just parrot that he's a republican because he was registered as such. Case closed. We win the argument forever. Ignoring all the context and other evidence that points otherwise.
Such an infantile and simplistic world view.

I don't care what the parrots think as they are not repeat their own thoughts. I hope to reach people who can think for themselves.

They don't want the whole truth, just the tiny shred of it that validates their existing positions. Such an unsophisticated world view.
