OT - I don't mind turning a quick buck on a current event but this may be a little over the line...

The timing is probably not best, not for Trump anyway. Others could have capitalized on the sympathy, Trump will not. It might he hard to see right now, but people will forget pretty quickly. This election has barely begun. A couple weeks before the election wouldve been better for him I think.

Also, that it was a Republican shooter takes some wind out of those sails.
thank you for your interesting perspective

It is the #1 trending topic in the world since it happened, and as you surely know, anything related to name recognition, however it happens, works with elections.

No.

Are you saying if it's true then they are corrupt, you just think it's fake news?
I am saying I have read many articles about ALL the supreme Court justices making money outside the court. KJB just got a huge book advance and Sotomayor has also earned money outside the Supreme Court salary. I do government work and have had to fill out financial disclosure forms. In the cases of who I am sure you are talking about, they did fill out those financial disclosure forms. And it hasn't been an issue when the court was making decisions that fall more in line with your opinions. So yes. Fake <17>n' News.

He probably registered to vote against Trump in the primary.
Possible. Not a conspiracy guy, but it could be a legit false flag, or just disturbed. It's generally a fallacy to try to apply logic and reason in a situation that, by default, defies logic and reason. Unless he left some, yet unpublished, note it's unlikely we will ever know.

Delete. Your position is ridiculous, but this board has had enough political bickering of late.

That registered Republican aspect is weird. At 20 years old, his only association with the Republican party would be with Trump as the leader. In other words, there is no way that this Republican party resonated with him so he decided to shoot Trump. He would have to be a Republican because of Trump. The only way I can think about that making sense is if he had someone older in his ear talking about the need to take back the party. What am I missing?
Don't forget that even 6 months ago it was far from forgone that Trump would be the nominee.

Not possible. More likely a Democratic conspiracy to assassinate him for real that failed. That conspiracy would be much more plausible. But much more likely it is what it looks like. A disturbed loner tried to be a hero (in his mind), and almost pulled it off thanks to a major screw up by Secret Service.

How many people died on Jan 6?

I know it's all just a coincidence.
Can you tell us how many people died cuz uh Jan 6? I'll give ya a hint. The number starts with a "Z".
ETA: except the unarmed 5'2" unarmed female who was shot by a big male cop. That incident was porn to TDSers. Even a 12 Yr old whose watched 2 or 3 Gunsmoke episodes knows that Coward shoulda been swinging from a rope by 10th or so.

I was waiting on that from one of y'all. Those you vote for call us Nazis so no *** needed.
I've not called anyone on here a Nazi. I have pointed to far-right terror groups who support MAGA and call themselves Nazis. About 100 of them marched in Nashville last week. Nobody here should feel attacked unless they are a member of that lunacy. Also, far left lunacy looks like anarchists/burn it all down types. Both parties should do more to distance themselves from extremism, rather than try to walk a fuzzy line that holds onto those votes.

In all seriousness, the first time I heard the Hitler reference it was when his now VP pick called him "America's Hitler" back in the 2016 time frame. You literally couldn't write the something this crazy as fiction.

It’s 17ing JULY. Jeebus.

I’m as guilty as anybody, but lord.
It’s not even that it’s political at this point it’s the same posts in different threads. It’s like Good Will Bunting all over again but in political thread form. He11, I’d give my left nut for an economic or virology thread at this point. Can we get some graphs from L4 and Poopop?

JFK was also killed by a lone gunman.

And no one benefited.

Boy, this thread went off the rails quick. Where's the bitching about the money grubbing capitalist trying to make a buck off of someone's misfortune? Oh well, I guess the war of Left & Right continues........

Thanks sliding some honest schit. The Nazi group is despicable and Trump vehemently denounced them yet "Good folks on Both Slides was a lie from Dems. Compare Antifa ,& BLM to extreme right wing crazies you'd find much more violence and destruction on the left. The prosecution and sentencing differences between the 2020 rioters & the J-6'ers is off the charts different from one another other. Adams & Jefferson would vomit for good reasons that are more important now than they've ever been I find it amazing how intelligent those MFers were to understand there are rights all men have from God that no man can take away. The further we stray from the Greatest Government Document in World History (I agree The Magna Carter runs a close 2nd) the further down the schit hole we will plunge.

It's almost like people on the left are celebrating this, and that doesn't surprise me. But he did donate to a Democratic PAC, so that takes some wind out of those "hE WuZ a 'PuBliCuN!" sails.
I saw a report that that was actually a 61 yo with the same name. So, fake news.

he claimed he was republican and registered as one but he had several donations to left wing causes and none to Republican ones.
