Why can't they shoot straight?

Better still just don't vote for him.

Yep. Dump the Trump!

[Wyliecoyote]

You know it was a leftie behind it. Using an AK47 to take a precision shot at between 300 and 500 metres. A good old boy would have got him at Pennsylvania with his 1911 off the hip. They need to try a 6.5 Carcano next.

[Oldbloke]

Two attempts and both misses.

In the US movies nobody ever misses, unless he is the bad guy. In both cases now the good guy missed.

[alexjones]

The good guy missed? So the murder of your political opponent makes you the good guy? Interesting thought you have.

Bet you a 50bmg that Trump will win. The moment Hillary said that half of Trumps supports were ‘deplorable’ she lost the election. Her smugness pissed a lot of people off. Trump now surviving two hits on his life is pissing a lot of people off and he will win because of it.

[alexjones]

First attempt on Trump was done with an ar15. Now this second one appears to be some kind of saiga(AK).

So the commie democrats wants to ban so called ‘assault weapons’ and both attempted hits contain the two most popular kind of rifle? That is Interesting. Anyone who does not think there is more involved here has to be deluded.

[alexjones]

The political divide all over the western world is getting out of control. People use to agree to disagree. Now people want to kill other people over their opinions.

[NTSOG]

Apparently the would-be shooter is a Democrat voter. He may not have actually fired his rifle before being spotted by security.

[alexjones]

I don't buy into party politics and the notion that a person votes for this particular party so they must be put into a certain category. I have voted liberal and labor at some point in my life and I regret both but at the time I guess I was just ignorant.

Social media and one eyed biased news, it's out of control.

I agree

[bigpete]

Not exactly a modern phenomenon....

[alexjones]

There is some kind of psychological phenomena that when you tell people what to do and what to think they will do the opposite.

The best way to beat a bad idea is with a good idea. Beat him on policy, logic and reason instead of just outright telling people they are dumb, racist etc if they vote for him. Because whilst the majority of people are dumb they generally hate smugness.

Was intended to be a joke m8.

[deye243]

I hope so OB because we're all f***ed if that democretin gets in .

[Blr243]

Was he really attempting to shoot the president with an old clunker ? Or just randomly being a menace

[Billo]

Apparently the would-be shooter is a Democrat voter. He may not have actually fired his rifle before being spotted by security.

Saw a claim that he voted for Trump in 2016, so I can only guess he is upset with Trump talking about eating cats and dogs, so maybe a cat loving Republican

he also mad mental health issues and an armed barricade event with the Police 20 years ago so shouldnt have had access to firearms.

Well that is one of the charges he faces, a convicted felon in possession of a firearm.

Doesn't sound like you understand what the cats and dogs comment is in regards to..

The political divide all over the western world is getting out of control. People use to agree to disagree. Now people want to kill other people over their opinions.

In the vacuum of the Cold War and the demise of communism as an economic model, I saw it start out slowly in the 1990s, gradually snowball in the 2000s, really pick up steam in the 2010.

And what is that? Well, a coalition of the Malthusians, the Cloward Piven types, the carbon dioxide extremists, rainbow, illegal immigration types and other radicals began to coalesce under the idea that western society as it was, was too heterosexual, too white, with too much freedom of speech and economic freedom and that they didn't have enough power and control. And the way to take over was to destroy all institutions that were good and successful.

How do you do that? Push policies and culture that keep men and women apart and lower fertility rates, flood the country with low IQ, low skill illegals from foreign lands that don't share similar cultures, print money like crazy and devalue the currency, push trade policies that favor other countries over any western country, push or instigate wars of no purpose and no end, etc.

I think Trump and his election in 2016 freaked these people out, so they began to more openly accelerate their moves and openness to destroying the west. Covid I think was part of their plot, if Covid was "organic" and just some accident, they took advantage of it.

Trump actually started to turn things around some and yet he was naive to how bad it really was. Well, he is not now and these people are really losing their mind now. In the case of this assassin, he's another dork that wants confrontation with Russia and doesn't want the Ukraine war to end.

We are at a dangerous point right now because I think these people are willing to do anything from doing Trump in, to starting war with Russia, causing a great depression economic collapse, you name it.

Ryan Routh is a staunch supporter of Ukraine.

Trump has many times stated he will end the Ukraine/Russia war if elected. This has been interpreted as stopping all assistance to Ukraine.

In all likelihood this is at least one of the reasons for the attempt .

What I don't understand mate is the golf game was an impromptu one. How did he have the insider knowledge to know Trump would be there?

He was a convicted felon so could not legally posses a firearm but lets be honest, getting an ilegal gun is not a hard thing to do. But who told him Trump would be there? Same as all the dogyness with the first Trump assignation attempt there is a lot of smoke around this fire. Has to be insider elements somewhere colluding to get Trump.

[Oldbloke]

The golf course is close to his home. Would be well known he was home.
Perhaps he took a punt that he was due for a round of golf.

No different to deer hunting, find a wallow and wait. Sometimes you get lucky, other times your not.

[Larry]

The guy had been waiting 12 hours so that kind of puts the inside knowledge conspiracy to bed.

Yeap and it was well known Trump played Golf there on a lot of Sundays, just another ex Maga who was disilluioned and got jacked up by Trumps Violent rhetoric.

Starting to look like Ryan Routh was a bit of a nutter.

When you run 3 successive Election campaigns on conspiracies your bound to pick up nut job supporters, that pretty much the GOP these days, they have no Policies just concepts of Policies
