      It was the FBI who released this info. You’d kinda think there’d be no need to publicly share this kind of info because it is not relevant and not great for surviving family members.

            Except we got him by voting for him, but most of us on this platform didn’t do that.

              I’m talking more about the buzz when he was still just a cooky candidate that obviously wouldn’t be put on the republican ticket, but god damn did he make for good television like every time he appeared! And he just kept saying wild things that we all loved reacting to.

                that we all loved reacting to.

                I hated the fuck out of trump since I first saw him on the apprentice. I was too young to know anything about him before that except he cameoed on home alone 2. But on the apprentice his entire persona was that of an ignorant rich asshole. His whole schtick was that he knew more than anybody when clearly he knew nothing. I told my parents I don’t get why they watch a show to see an ignorant moron be a jerk.

                Then literally everything I heard after that made me hate him more. At no point was I glad to hear about Donald Trump. At no point did I find any of it funny. Fuck him.

                And I disagree talking about him got him elected.

                  In another timeline, the apprentice didn’t run and when trump tried to run after being insulted by Obama, had people laughing at him like RFK.

    This sounds very much like typical psy ops information to be honest. Trying to paint a picture of someone as a degenerate.

    I bet he was looking at some porn the same day, as some people do. Nothing special.

    Didn’t Project 2025 say that they wanted to ban porn?

    This seems like something they’ll use to get leverage on that matter.

    “Porn makes you want to shoot down the furher”, or something like that.

      As a thought exercise: if he succeeded, doesn’t that only further incite the right, convince them that they are fighting the holy fight, and accelerate violence against the citizenry?

      I don’t like Trump either so I get the feeling behind the message, but I don’t see any universe where a successful assassination attempt is a net positive for the country. Seems like it only furthers division and probably leads to a worse place overall.

      Would love to know how I’m wrong though.

        If you see the upcoming civil war as inevitable, then triggering it now would mean the government forces are on our side, and with Trump dead you’d get a bunch of different maga factions the government could sweep up quickly. Now when the civil war begins, Trump will be president, maga will be united behind him, and the government forces will be working FOR them.

        You assume I would think you’re wrong. I do not.

        Morally, assassination is despicable. But so is fascism.

        I applaud you for taking the high road, while I just say Fuck ‘em all. Fascism should not be tolerated, even in a democracy.

        I think I agree, but I’d phrase it a bit differently. The problem in our country isn’t division, it’s that there’s an energetic fascist movement that needs to be stopped. The problem with assassinating Trump is that it gives that movement a martyr and would very much energize them (disorganize them too, since they wouldn’t know for sure who to follow anymore, but they’ve never needed to be too organized to do damage and they could do plenty before succession fueled infighting really started to take a toll).

        Killing Trump won’t kill his ideas, the only way to do that is to embarrass Trump and Trumpism badly, so I think the best series of events would be a) Trump loses the election, b) prosecutors explain Trump’s many crimes in meticulous detail to a series of juries who sentence Trump to years and years behind bars, c) Trump dies of a heart attack while taking a shit in prison.

        The fact that the voters already did a) once in 2020 and the system’s let us down on b) is deeply frustrating and worth acknowledging for the sake of identifying the country’s underlying problems (it’s the politicians and lawyers more than it is the voters), but it doesn’t change the fact that assassinating Trump is the last thing we want to do at this point.

        further incite the right, convince them that they are fighting the holy fight, and accelerate violence against the citizenry?

        Literally already happening.

        How anyone can think that rolling over and playing dead while fascists stomp their way in to (more) power is a better way to “fight” them, than, I don’t know, actually fighting them, is honestly mind blowing.

        Check your privilege, the fact that you aren’t impacted by their ongoing war, doesn’t mean no one else is.

          And what IS my privilege internet stranger? I’m making a good faith argument on the internet that you disagree with, but I’m a stranger to you and you have no idea of what my daily life looks like or how much privilege I have or do not have.

          I appreciate the disagreement, but I don’t appreciate assumptions of what kind of fucking castle I live in or how isolated I am from current events or political violence.

        I feel like somehow this assessment focuses heavily on speculation and ignores a very key fact in that scenario. Trump would no longer be able to be president. And we don’t really know what violence they’d commit exactly. I think it’s pretty sure there would be violence… But why are you assuming it would be widespread and against innocent people? And again it’s like Trump being gone is not even worth mentioning

    He needed the erection to steady himself for the shot, not unlike a tripod. He lost it when one of the cops popped up over the roof like a sweaty gopher, and thus lost aiming stability.

        Or an ethereal bisexual long-legged socialist to purr into his ear to remember to exhale before firing, and to use the edge of his finger to pull the trigger so that the barrel doesn’t jerk away from the target at the last second. And also to aim at the largest fucking center of mass, for fuck’s sake this isn’t an FPS even if you live your life feeling like Elvis from Perfect Dark.

    This is probably the least crazy part of the whole equation. I mean if you’re about to go do something that’s going to absolutely get you fucking killed, might as well rub one last one out before you go.
