Neither of the parents were injured, and are believed to have left because they had warrants out for their arrests and were not found until an hour later.

So these folks were as good at fleeing as this 'woman' was at shooting?

A Deep State apparatchik in the Department of Homeland Security commandeered DHS's communication in order to get this meme out and have it be repeated endlessly as coming from "Trump's own government".

I mean, even if you don't believe there was massive fraud (disclaimer: I don't, though I do think they rigged it legally), obviously an election with massive mail-in ballots is not going to be more secure than one without, let alone "the most secure in history". So batshit crazy, but idiots eat this up.

You misunderstand, I'm not arguing that it missed on purpose, only that the guy was a very bad shot. He fired several shots after Trump moved his head. Now I as a Eurofag am not exactly an expert on shooting, but surely you can move your gun slightly after you get off the first shot?

They'd sell far more magazines if that iconic image is on the frontpage.

Clearly, they have other priorities.

Clearly this bitch knows what she is talking about.

Some of her history:

Timely reminder that on debate night, members of Trump family and Trump administration did not wear masks, which were required by the Cleveland Clinic. A doctor approached the Trump guests, offering masks and reminding them to put one on – but nobody did.… link - archive.org - archive.today

“Dominion Voting AND top election infrastructure officials categorically deny this. “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history... There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised.”” link - archive.org - archive.today

What does that have to do with them recruiting the worst shot in the world to carry out a world-shaking assassination?

Also, 'the plan' didn't take into account that Trump might turn his head?

Like I said before, I think they're too smart to want to take out Trump this way, not that they're not capable of doing it or that they're not evil enough to want to do it.

That's still better than the only other thing they do, which is surrender.

I have to admit that I was more skeptical of this idea before more and more weirdness came out, but...

Why did they recruit a guy who was thrown out of a rifle club for being a terrible shot?

If she got a better deal after she claimed her old posts were made by time-traveling Russian hackers, there is no way she's getting Roseanne Barr treatment, let alone Alex Jones treatment.

War Profiteer's Wife

Excuse me, that is very offensive and like triggering and such as.

I believe you meant "War Profiteer's Daughter".

She said that she entered an upscale New York clothing store and when they discovered the horrible fact that she is 1/1024 black, they held an impromptu KKK-meeting, burned a cross, ripped off their shirt to reveal an undergarment with a swastika, and threw her out while cursing "niggers" and saying they should all be hanged.

That is such a huge difference in magnitude that it is a difference in quality.

Advocating assassination, of anyone, in my view is not legitimate discourse. I'm not just saying this because it's my ox that's being gored. I condemned the crazies who were making fun of Pelosi's husband.

Advocating assassination can never be put on the same plane as pointing out pure facts.

OP is right that "war is a continuation of politics by other means",

As you no doubt know, that is from Clausewitz, and the proper translation is policy, not politics. And that was obviously never meant as domestic politics, except when war is leveraged to accomplish to accomplish domestic goals - e.g. the French Revolutionary Wars.

I said at the time (before 1/6) "these people saying these things are playing a dangerous game, because you risk people taking them seriously and taking them to their logical conclusions. So if you say them then you'd better really believe them, because some people will." And lo and behold, a lot of the politicians saying those things actually didn't believe them; and a lot of normal people who did are sitting in prison right now as a result when support they probably thought they had completely evaporated.

But that was probably inevitable. Even if they did all believe it, there is nothing that you can do. Not to mention that they act in accordance with their interests and not in accordance with their beliefs, whatever these are.

And it's happening here too: "threat to democracy and our very way of life" taken to its logical conclusion is...what almost happened on Saturday. If you believe that statement is true (which I don't of course), then the only logically consistent critique of the shooter is that he didn't actually wait until Trump won the election.

He'd probably have better security. But point taken. Condemning this attack is incompatible with believing that he is worse than Hitler. There are some people who try to square the circle by arguing that Trump is an existential threat who should be taken out using lawful means, but I can't say it is very persuasive.

Ideally the politicians and press who pushed this would be in prison for instigating it, but I think we both know that won't happen.

It'd also violate Brandenburg vs. Ohio.

The next best thing (but far from a perfect solution because it punishes normal people) is for there to be consequences for normal people saying such things the same way there is for joking about bombs in an airport security line.

But that serves an actual purpose. I would be OK with the cruelty if it actually advanced the good in some meaningful way. How exactly does punishing miserable minimum wage workers, who have no idea about politics beyond what they hear from the lying media, advance the good?.

I guess spreading terror. But will it improve things if people do not feel as comfortable mouthing off about Trump as they are now? I'd say that a lot of pro-Trump sentiment is caused not by the man's virtues, but by the vileness of his opponents.

I'm pretty sure that if I asked HR if they fire people for supporting Trump, they'd look at me in bemusement like I'm a crazy person, and point out that it's not even legal.

So much of these ideas are based on rare worst case scenarios.
