University of Virginia Assistant Professor Sethunya Mokoko took a break from teaching students to get the word out this week that the entire assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump was a staged event for suckers. Mokoko explained that it was just a ploy to get the votes of “idiots.” He, however, is available to offer sage-like clarity that the Secret Service, local police, and the Trump campaign conspired to fake the assassination, kill a bystander, and seriously wound others to get the sucker vote. He is not alone in this theory while others on the left are simply bemoaning that Thomas Matthew Crooks missed.
In his tweet, Mokoko said that security ”ignored [Crooks] because trump & secrete service staged theatrics to win idiots’ vote.”
So let me get the conspiracy down. The Secret Service allowed a kid who flunked out of the high school shooting club as a bad shot to fire multiple rounds at the former president from a sloped roof at 130 yards in the hope that he would only wing him?
Mokoko previously taught at Clemson University, Gold West College, Long Beach City College and University of California, Long Beach, according to his Linkedin page.
His faculty bio states that Mokoko teaches “Race, Rhetoric, and Social Justice” and “Writing about Culture and Society.” His focus is “teaching students to appreciate and value social justice rhetorics across media; to become rhetorically listening writers, readers, and viewers; and to understand how global rhetorics shape and define agency and identification.”
He is not alone. Within minutes of the assassination attempt, the staging theory was going viral and has been picked up by many on the left. For example, actress Amanda Seales took to social media to claim that Trump used fake stage blood and sound effects to stage his assassination attempt.
“That sh** was more staged than a Tyler Perry production of Madea Runs for President. I lived in Harlem long enough to know that gunshots do not sound like making popcorn on the stove.”
She does not explain how local fireman Corey Comperatore died from the fake bullets.
Others fueled the stage conspiracy theory.
Tennessee state Rep. Antonio Parkinson posted a statement that “I certainly hope this is not a staged act. But.”
Colorado state Rep. Steve Woodrow, D-Denver, declared “The last thing America needed was sympathy for the devil but here we are.”
Aberdeen, Wash., Mayor Douglas Orr declared “The shooter is dead so we will never know if this was staged. I hope I’m wrong, but because of his record of deceit, that’s the first thing that came to mind.”
Still others accepted that the shooting was real, but complain that Crooks should not have missed. Bellarmine University English instructor John James posted on Instagram: “If you’re gonna shoot, man, don’t miss.”
Jack Black’s Tenacious D partner Kyle Gass made a wish while performing with Black that the next assassination would not miss. Various people joined in on regretting that the assassination was not successful.
This is the very face of the age of rage and shows how it is both addictive and contagious.
EXCLUSIVE: Former Democratic Vice Chair & Pres. Candidate Tulsi Gabbard on why she left the party
In an interview on “The Public Interest” with Ravi Kapur, former U.S. Congress member and 2020 Presidential Candidate Tulsi Gabbard detailed her journey from being a rising star in the Democratic Party to becoming an independent. Gabbard expressed her disillusionment with the party, saying “the Democratic Party that I joined over 20 years ago is completely unrecognizable.” She lamented the party’s shift away from principles she once valued, such as free speech and open debate.

It was fake AF. Bullets don’t whiz, they crack that close. An ear bleeds like a mf. JD Vance has the same backers as Obama plus Peter ss Theil the defense intelligence contractor. #ActorsAliensAndAvatars #EpsteinsFriendsSaidIHaveToWearAMask
Idiot
They definitely whiz “that close”. They crack while they are supersonic but that sound is AFTER the bullet has passed.
Spoken like some jack ass who has never been shot at.
Atleast one sniper/expert has claimed from the sound the rifle was “suppressed” therefore the bullets are unlikely to have been supersonic. .
John Say,
Even with a suppressor, bullets can still be supersonic.
The ammunition itself has to be loaded to reduce velocity below supersonic. And that changes the trajectory.
I have warned you a dozen times to not comment when you are ignorant. If the gun was suppressed, and was a 5.56, the bullets were indeed supersonic.
You know how you can tell? because you could hear the bullet.
.300 Blackout is a common round that CAN be loaded subsonic.
You’re right about the whizing…but this a clue that Donald probably got a fragment from a bullet which either hit metal from the stands or someone else, broke into pieces, slowed and then hit the President’s ear. Look at the location and form of the wound. Interestingly,, they were big enlarged shots of his ear early on Saturday evening, with all the blood, but the wound was not apparent… it appeared on Sunday morning published pictures.
Why does the fact that peoples recollection of an event like this does not always match what “experts” claim it should mean that it is fake ?
It is possible that Trump’s recollection is wrong.
It is possible that your “experts” are wrong.
It is possible that something else created the whizzing sound.
What is highly unlikely is that they was “faked”.
Peter Thiel is a tech entrepreneur.
Just wow. Twisted submorons.
Speak with anyone in law enforcement who has been involved in working with the Secret Service during President or VP local events and you will learn that the Secret Service has complete control over local law enforcement before and during the activity, especially in establishing a “perimeter”. This is never left solely to local law enforcement. The local law enforcement Commander has two radios, one to communicate with local law enforcement under his/her command and one radio, the only radio, that can be used by law enforcement to communicate with the Secret Service. Local law enforcement officers are explicitly warned that if they happen to point their weapon in the direction of the VIP, they will be shot by Secret Service. Local law enforcement is informed that if they desire to pose for a photo with the President or Vice-President and are granted the opportunity, they will first be disarmed before doing so. There are many appropriate questions to be asked, and answered, here.
Vincente said: “There are many appropriate questions to be asked, and answered, here.”
They apparently won’t be asked or answered today. The House Subcommittee investigating this assassination attempt had scheduled interviews today with Secret Service functionaries, which SS had agreed to . I read a short time ago that DHS then stepped in and pulled the plug on that process. Just the usual colossal DHS arrogance, or something more insidious?
Maybe Sethunya Mokoko needs a personal demonstration.
This is likely good advice.
https://x.com/Michael_Yon/status/1813056780790034838
The FBI seems to regard all evidence as exclusive agency property to be grudgingly parceled out to support a preferred narrative that may, or may not, correspond to the truth.
Sethunya Mokoko is simply wrong in his ostensibly irrefragable hypothesis that “the entire assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump was a staged event for suckers.”
What he/she/it/they/ze would not be wrong about, by contrast, is the fact that the American Founders intended that Sethunya Mokoko et al. may not be admitted into this country to become citizens, and that pertinent law of the Founders, passed within the year of the adoption of the Constitution, was never abrogated by proper legislation but by illicit and unconstitutional brute kinetic force of arms and extreme mayhem and bloodshed.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Naturalization Acts of 1790, 1795, 1798, and 1802 (four clear iterations)
United States Congress, “An act to establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization,” March 26, 1790
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Congress assembled, That any Alien being a free white person, who shall have resided within the limits and under the jurisdiction of the United States for the term of two years, may be admitted to become a citizen thereof…
I wrote the following this past January tired of having people making claims of denial over who is or not a natural born citizen…(this is a fragment):
Interestingly, while most scholars appear to agree that the expression “Natural-born Citizen” doesn’t appear anywhere else in relevant text close to the ratifying of the Constitution, the expression is used in the Naturalization Act of 1790 signed into law by George Washington: “And the children of citizens of the United States that may be born beyond Sea, or out of the limits of the United States, shall be considered as natural born Citizens: Provided, that the right of citizenship shall not descend to persons whose fathers have never been resident in the United States: Provided also, that no person heretofore proscribed by any States, shall be admitted a citizen as aforesaid, except by an Act of the Legislature of the State in which such person was proscribed. ”
The most important lineage for the Framers apparently was that to be naturalized one had to be a “Free White Person of Good Character”. Good character excluded a slew of ethnicity, and white being understood as Christian it excluded Muslims… But the Laws have evolved to be inclusive: 1870 of Native Africans or of African descent, further down the road, of other groups such as Native Indians and other Marginalized residents.
With the effect that if Nikki Haley’s parents were legally within the United States territory at the time of her birth she is a Natural Born Citizen and can access the Presidency if you decide to vote for her, naturally.
The basis of the reflection I believe would be 2 types of sovereignty, one set in the persons, in this case the parents bare US Sovereignty by their citizenship, the other being the sovereign Territories of the United States, both providing a conduit to becoming a Natural Born Citizen of the Free United States of America where everyone is Equal Under the Law.
The Constitution employs the phrase “natural born citizen” but does not define it.
The only definition of “natural born citizen” in the universe and in all of history is by Vattel in the Law of Nations.
Blackstone mused on “natural born subjects” related to the purview of legiance to a liege lord.
The Law of Nations “…has been continually in the hands of the members of our Congress, now sitting,” wrote Ben Franklin in his letter to Charles Dumas.
98% of the presidents before Obama had two parents, including a father, who were citizens at the time of the birth of the candidate.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Law of Nations, Book 1, Chpt 19, Sec 212
§ 212. Citizens and natives.
The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights. The society is supposed to desire this, in consequence of what it owes to its own preservation; and it is presumed, as matter of course, that each citizen, on entering into society, reserves to his children the right of becoming members of it. The country of the fathers is therefore that of the children; and these become true citizens merely by their tacit consent. We shall soon see whether, on their coming to the years of discretion, they may renounce their right, and what they owe to the society in which they were born. I say, that, in order to be of the country, it is necessary that a person be born of a father who is a citizen; for, if he is born there of a foreigner, it will be only the place of his birth, and not his country.
Google “Trump vs bullet Biden vs stairs meme” and click images.
Trump hit by a bullet rises with clenched fist and defiance and shouts “Fight! Fight! Fight!” Standing above his security detail and with the American flag waving boldly still as it did at Fort McHenry.
Wonderful!
I just ran a thought experiment imagining Obama in the same scenario. I can think of no response of his that would inspire confidence in him or in the country.
People were warning that this would lead to civil War and violent retaliation – it hasn’t. The response of EVERYONE on the right has been reasonable and rational. While there is a TINY bit of claiming there is an overt Biden conspiracy. For the most part Republicans are just accusing Democrats of running the Secret Service incompetently, driven by DEI not the requirements of the job.
Plus maybe a tiny bit of being deliberately lax on Trump security in the HOPE he would get assassinated.
It is democrats ranting nonsense – like the tiktoks with millions of views lamenting that the shooter missing by millimeters
Republicans are toning down their rhetoric – not because “targeting” democrats and putting a “bullseye” on them is not perfectly legitimate speech, but because Republicans have been given a gift and they are exploiting it. They are acting as if they already won, and working to unite the country when Biden is no longer president.
That is the moral choice, it is also the politically expedient choice.
What would have happened if this happened to Obama ? A left wing holy war against white people.
Security Detail for Ex-Top Trump Official Denied by Biden Administration
The Biden administration has declined for almost a year to provide security to Robert O’Brien, a former national security adviser in the Trump White House, despite behind-the-scenes pressure from lawmakers and what they describe as ongoing threats against his life.
https://www.wsj.com/politics/national-security/security-detail-for-top-trump-official-denied-by-biden-administration-0db6c0f4
RFK Jr aside, is there no limit to Biden’s Handlers viciousness, vindictiveness and lust for power? And then they screech that Trump will seek revenge on them.
Nope, there are no limits. They wrote the dark Brandon speech to take one example of a thousand. The speech said half the country’s population was fascists. They were projecting of course but they are A-h0les through and through, and they thought they were right.
it’s amazing what people can be primed to perceive. MAGAts see someone presidential, who is a victim of a “deep state” that somehow prevented him from succeeding as president, whose glorious landslide victory was stolen by widespread voter fraud, whose presidency was marred by a China virus deliberately set loose to kill people, who is not guilty of stealing classified documents because he had some right to possess them, that is the victim of lying women like Stormy Daniels and E. Jean Carroll, that he is the victim of the NY State legal system, and who will set things right in this failing country of ours.
OTOH,a non-MAGAts see America as booming, with the stock market setting new daily records, a long-overdue Infrastructure Bill that will finally fix our airports, roads and bridges, a Chips Act to domesticate computer chip production, and our Preasident who is respected world wide, who successfully lead a NATO summit and pulled together a unified opposition to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.
In Trump non-MAGAts see someone who is manifestly unfit to be President, who has a long history of being a cheater and liar in business, someone who craves attention, power, adulation and praise, someone who wrecked our economy with tariffs, who tries to bully people to get his way, including starting an insurrection because he lacks the moral fiber to graciously accept the fact that he was voted out of office; someone who misleads his fans by lying to them about nonexistent voter fraud and who stood by for over 3 hours while his deluded followers battered police officers, broke into the Capitol building and were hunting for the Speaker of the House and Vice President, to kill them; someone who got fake electors to commit felonies by falsifying Electoral College documents; someone who is not patriotic, who views members of the military as “suckers and losers”, himself a draft-dodger; someone who was impeached twice, a convicted criminal, who is under multiple indictments, who is afraid of going to jail; someone whom economists say will wreck our economy once again with more tariffs on imported goods; someone who is willing to sell the opportunity to write an Executive Order rolling back environmental protections oil companies don’t like for a $1 billion campaign donation; someone who intends to ban all abortions and IVF, to establish concentration camps for migrants and to deport millions of them, to take away rights of LGBTQ, to eliminate the Department of Education, to eliminate programs that help blacks and minorities own homes, and to use the DOJ and FBI as tools for vengeance on his perceived enemies.
At Friday’s event, I saw a well-rehearsed fist-pumping, lip-biting performance of someone who is mocked for being a chronic liar, who is behind in the polls, who is desperate to win at any cost, and who always has been desperate to “win”, including cheating his way into office. I have yet to see a treating physician’s news conference in which any doctor described alleged injuries, treatment rendered or prognosis. I have yet to see any forensic report on the alleged bullet that struck Trump being tied to Crooks’s gun. What I HAVE seen is Republicans trying to portray their hero as some kind of “he-man” who “took a bullet for America”. Such hogwash! Knowing that Trump is a showman, that he is desperate to “win” at any cost, and the lack forensic evidence, I submit that it’s not outside the realm of possibility that this was staged.
Gigi, at 5:41 you forgot to sign in, and to like your own post.
Bullying?
You are pathetic, mentally unwell and unhinged from reality.
So of course you are voting Democrat. It’s the party of the mentally unstable liars, lunatics and freaks who hate America.
Your party created your mental illness, along with the lying propaganda fake news brainwashing.
Truly pathetic.
Yeah, Democrats are the ones who put Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal up to setting a trap for Trump so he’d have to falsify business records to cover up payoffs to them to buy their silence. Democrats are probably the ones responsible for Trump stealing classified documents and lying about returning them; Democrats likely also faked the Access Hollywood tape with a voice actor bragging about grabbing women by their privates. Democrats probably faked loan applications by misrepresenting Trump’s assets to the degree that the judge found “shocking to the conscience.” Democrats likely spread the Big Lie to sucker MAGAts to Washington to “fight like hell “ and got fake electors to sign false election documents too. It was probably Democrats who put tariffs on goods imported from China and lowered taxes for the wealthy just to jack up the national debt and cause inflation. Democrats likely pulled the Iran nuclear deal, and they probably reduced troops in Afghanistan from 14,000 to 2,500, turned loose 5,000 Taliban without getting people out first.
Yeah it’s probably Democrats who economists say will tank the economy by enacting more tariffs and take health insurance away from millions, ban abortions and IVF, allow discrimination against LGBTQ people, set up concentration camps and deport millions of people, and it was likely Democrats who will reverse consumer and environmental protections, push fossil fuels, eliminate the Department of Education and allow the president to use the FBI and DOJ to get revenge on their enemies.
Yeah it’s those lying lunatic Democrats—right?
Yeah it’s those lying lunatic Democrats—right?
Right. 100% correct.
Concur hear hear!
Trump succeeded as president.
Biden is the failure – that is reality.
Denying it make you look like a fool.
The deep state OBVIOUSLY staged a soft coup against Trump – IT FAILED.
Trump was not going to win 2020 in a landslide in the middle of Covid – but for Covid 2020 would have been a landslide.
But elections have to bough fought in the world we have – not the one we wish we had.
Covid is a factor Republicans must accept – while it is possible to blame on Fauxi, it is not possible to claim that Fauxi intentionally finded GOF research in Wuhan for the purpoose of a lab leak and causing Trump irreparable harm. Fauxi is neither that smart nor that devious.
Regardless the election came down to razor thin lines in the EC – and yes the difference between a solid EC win and a loss is directly attributable to Election fraud.
Almost no one beleives that the release of Covid was deliberate. Just as almost no one beleives the incompetence of the Secret Service was deliberate. But just as Trump is harmed by the fact that Covid occured while he was president.
Biden will have to deal with the political harm that so many many poor decisions with bad consequences occured while he was president. Including the Trump assassination attempt.
“who is not guilty of stealing classified documents ”
Before getting “fired” Smith had already conceded there was no theft of classified documents.
Smith’s case had devolved to Trump failing to return them – something that is not a violation of the law – and according to Judge ABJ and the DC courts is not only not required – but not even something that NARA or courts can do.
“because he had some right to possess them”
JW V NARA – he did
Chenney V CRew – he did.
“that is the victim of lying women like Stormy Daniels”
I do not know if Daniels is lying. It does not matter much.
I think it is likely – or she would have gone ot Hillary for even more money.
“E. Jean Carroll”
Carroll has accused something like 80- men in her autobiography of raping her.
Not ONE of which is Donald Trump. Her entire story materialized AFTER he book was published.
Is Carroll lying – I do not know. Is it likely she is lying – absolutely.
Regardless for many many reasons the case never should have gone to court.
We do not allow 35 year old allegations of anything because doing so deprives defendants their ability to defend themselves.
“that he is the victim of the NY State legal system”
Absolujtely !!!
“who will set things right in this failing country of ours.”
There is no Question that Trump II will be head and shoulders better than Biden.
But it will no t “Set everything right”./
John Say said: “Almost no one beleives that the release of Covid was deliberate. Just as almost no one beleives the incompetence of the Secret Service was deliberate.”
True. OTOH, there is a point at which negligence becomes culpable. IMO that applies to both of your examples.
You live in a fantasy world. The majority of Americans did not vote for Trump in 2016 or 2020 and likely will not in 2024 because he is repulsively arrogant, constantly lies, is emotionally immature and weak-he did a lousy job of pretending to be President, and is a laughingstock around the world. He’s all BS and bluster— a woman-grabbing showman with a big ego who is also a sociopath, liar, cheater and convicted criminal.
Results speak louder than rhetoric. Look what both did with what they were given—Trump took the successful economy handed to him by Obama and turned it into the worst recession since the Great Depression—and COVID is not the cause-it was Trump’s tariffs, the cost of which he still doesn’t understand are passed along to the consumer. His tax cuts mostly benefited the wealthy and drove the national debt to a record level—interest on that debt is helping to drive inflation. He threw out Obama’s pandemic playbook and was overwhelmed by not having any plan to replace it, so he did what he always does—faked it while Americans were dying at rates higher than other industrialized countries. Unemployment was in double digits, the country was shut down, kids couldn’t go to school, businesses and restaurants closed and there was no leisure travel.
Biden turned all of that around. Unemployment is at a 50 year low. The stock market keeps setting records, real wages are outpacing inflation and Biden pulled together a coalition of our allies to push back against Putin. NATO is stronger than ever, and is our best investment to prevent another world war. Manufacturing is returning to America. Our economy is the strongest in the world. We are energy independent.
Presidential historians say that Trump is the worst president in modern history. Economists say that if Trump gets into office that his tariffs will drive up inflation. Trump praises Putin and Orbhan, dictators, and will try to help Russia take Ukraine. That would destabilize Europe because Putin wouldn’t stop with Ukraine.
Project 2025 will roll back decades of progress we’ve made in civil and individual rights, it will provide unprecedented power to the Executive Branch, which will disrupt our system of checks and balances and be abused by Trump—we’ve already seen how he abuses power and bullies people. Radical right wing Republicans are using a desperate narcissist afraid of going to jail and who is willing to lie and do anything it takes to get power in order to push their agenda that most Americans do not want. America is on the precipice of potential upending of the foundation of our democracy. Trump has to lose. The world depends on it.
“willing to lie and do anything it takes to get power in order to push their agenda that most Americans do not want.”
“abusing power”
“clinging to power”
“upending the foundation of our democracy”
Do you really think President Biden and Democrats are upholding the foundation of our ‘democracy’ as they cling to power as they pursue their radical agenda that MOST of this country does not want? Democrats can’t even get Biden to relinquish his power that he is clinging to for dear life.
Democrats are upending and destorying our democracy.
Their oath of office will not stop them.
The Constitution will not stop them.
The Rule of Law will not stop them.
The Supreme Court will not stop them.
None of the foundations of our ‘democracy’ will stop them and their agenda.
They see the only thing that will stop them is Donald J Trump being elected for another term.
Which is why they are doing everything they can to stop him, including assassination.
Make no mistake, Joe Biden and his Democrat party are not ‘defending democracy.’
They are destroying it. Ruthlessly.
Make no mistake, Biden is a very weak man, a weak leader, clinging to power, and he is creating hard times for this country.
Right now his psychopathic HHS Secretary Mayorkas is blocking the Secret Service Director from testifying about the total incompetence and probable malice that was the Trump assassination attempt. The Democrat party of today, and Joe Biden are truly representing EVIL in action. These people are EVIL and ruthless psychopaths. No one is safe in Biden’s Banana Republic. No one.
Constitutional Republic…
Say it, Constitutional Republic.
God Bless America and God Bless Trump!
The only way to set this country right is to prosecute and hold accountable those that have actively participated in the coup against Trump. That means prior Presidents, their wives, deep state officials, all! You can’t have a nation without laws and you can’t have laws without equal accountability for those that break them.
“OTOH,a non-MAGAts see America as booming, with the stock market setting new daily records, a long-overdue Infrastructure Bill that will finally fix our airports, roads and bridges, a Chips Act to domesticate computer chip production, and our Preasident who is respected world wide, who successfully lead a NATO summit and pulled together a unified opposition to Putin’s invasion of Ukraine.”
Pure delusion – you do not live in reality.
The DJIA was Below where is was when Trump left office. It took a full 3 years to get above.
Adjusted of Inflation it is STILL below where it was.
All that our airports need is the end to government control.
Why should people who do not fly pay for airports ?
Our roads and bridges are fine and to the extent that government should have anything to do with them, that should be local govenrment and the cost should be paid for by gas taxes. Which should ONLY pay for Roads and bridges.
Semi-conductor manufacture was moving to the US before the Chips act – TMSC has been building the worlds largest FAB in TX since Trump was president.
Lots of manufacturing is returning to the US. China has lots its competative advantage as labor costs have risen and it is politically unstable which supresses investment.
Biden has nothing to do with that – neither does Trump.
We are in the midst of a Global restructuring.
Over the past 50 years the US has had to choose between its role guaranteeing global free trade and being able to fight two major wars in two theaters concurrently. We are no longer capable of either. Increasingly we are expecting other countries to step in.
The entire push and pull over NATO – which started before Trump – who did nothing more than say the quiet part out loud.
Europe must take full responsibility for its own national security. The US will remain in NATO – but we are no longer doing all the fighting and paying for it all. Europe is more than capable of not only dealing with any actual regional threat – like Putin, but also projecting power. The US role in the Mideast has been and will continue to diminish. The US no longer has any need for mideastern energy. Securing mideastern energy as well and maintainin mideastgern Peace is increasingly the job of Europe.
The US has NEVER been a major force in Africa – that TOO is a pasdt and future EUROPEAN sphere of influence.
The US attention that USED to be focused on Europe and the mideast is shifting to Asia – the pacific Rim. Trump Unified the nations of the Pacific – India, Philipines, Vietnam, Malasyia, Japan, Taiwan, Australia and New Zealand into a NATO like alliance to contain China.
And just like Europe and NATO in time they will be able to contain China on their own without the US.
AS Vivek correctly stated – The US will defend Taiwan from Chinese invasion without any doubt at all – until it is no longer in our national interest to do so. Taiwan currently produices 50% of the worlds Semiconductors – TSMC the people who started building a major Fab in Texas under Trump is the worlds largest producer of Semiconductors – and they are committed to moving substantial production to the US – long before Chips.
Regardless, US Trade with Europe is on the decline. Canada, Mexico, the nations of the pacific our our most important trading partners and our most important national security interests.
The deep state war on Trump is primarily a reflection of Trump’s public grasp of the reality that Europe is not in our interests anymore and that Russia is a paper tiger. Obama understood that but continued the US focus in Europe and the mideast to avoid being stabbed int he back by “the deep state” regardless, the shift in focus was inevitable. The Russia Desk, the mideast desk in various branches of government is declining and the Asian desks are rising.
You will notice ALL the deep state actors targeting Trump are affiliated with the Europe/Mideast wings of our foreign policy.
Biden has a long history of inapproriate and perverted sexual conduct.
Trump was OPENLY a playboy most of his life.
He has never pretended to be different.
No one has ever credibly accused him of anything else – Including Carroll.
While it is questionable whether Trump had anything to do with Daniels.
It is not out of character to expect that he would have had relations with playboy models and porn stars.
What he has not done is raped anyone or showered with his preteen daughter or sniffed the hair of myriads of girls.
If you want an excellent analysis of Joe Biden’s character – he is Glenn Greenwald.
John Say: you just make things up. Trump has been adjudicated by courts of being a sexual assaulter of E Jean Carroll, of falsifying business records and of fraud in loan transactions. He isn’t a “playboy”— he assaults women, especially when he thinks they have demeaned his manhood— including Ivana when she wasn’t sympathetic after his scalp reduction surgery. He assaulted E Jean Carroll because she teased him about trying on lingerie. He lured Stormy Daniels to his bungalow by promising to get her on “The Apprentice “. All of the above statements are from testimony under oath. Trump is a sociopath, not a “playboy”.
But Gigi, when you sign in as Anonymous
you don’t get full credit for your ‘truth telling’
(but then again, how selfless)
Trump was a well known playboy. Trump is authentic and we know who he is. We can see the lies being told about him by Biden, et al. As president he donated his salary and was in it purely for the LOVE of his country and the GOOD of the nation, not to financially enrich himself in the ways Joe Biden has done his entire public service career.
Biden wants the country to believe the lies about his own character, “I’m bringing back decency and honor.” That is laughably false. Joe Biden has been a well known serial LIAR and corrupt politician for his entire public service career.
Biden has the fake news selling the country the absolute lie that HE is honest, honorable, decent, compassionate man with a good family. LOL. Biden is NONE of these things. His family is a mess of crooks, grifters and degenerates sucking the government tit just like Joe. His “character” is nothing like the lies he tries to sell to the country. Most people do not want a corrupt “president” like Biden who is in it for personal enrichment AND goes around like a creepy pervert touching and sniffing women and children.
Just to reiterate how shallow, petty and lacking in character Joe Biden is and has always been….
Biden says he decided to run when he saw Trump say there were ‘fine people on both sides.’
That’s it. That is Joe Biden’s sole reason for running.
He tells that story over and over. It is based on a lie.
Yet that is the REASON Biden says he ran for president for the third time.
Biden is a petty, viciously vindictive, small-minded, dumb, insecure, weak man who wanted to be president to PROVE he was bigger than the very petty, small minded, mendacious, nasty corrupt politician he’s always and only ever been. Just as his wife got her Ed.D degree so she could demand the world call her “Dr Biden” to PROVE she wasn’t the insecure, white trash, scum human being she actually is. They won’t even acknowledge grandchild Navy Joan or her mama. Navy is PNG to the Biden klan. How cruel.
Biden began his campaign based on a lie and has never stop lying to the voters for even one day. The man is incapable of telling the truth; he is pathological and mentally ill.
And he is a corrupt to his core. He is a crook, a criminal, and a treasonous traitor to his country.
That is the truth about Joe Biden. He is a truly despicable man. Everyone in Washington DC and Delaware knows this as well.
Definitely a clueless fool out of touch with reality
Is everyone on the left unable to think logically ?
Is it completely beyond the realm of possibility that Trump conspired with a 20yr old kid to shoot at him miss a fatal head shot by millimeters kill one bystandeer and critically injure two others with the Secret Service killing the 20yr old ? No.
Anything is possible – if all forms of rationality are out the window.
Is there a snowballs chance in h311 that Trump conspired with a 20yr tonick his ear, kill someone else, critically injure two others and get himself shot in the head – less than a snowballs chance.
Neil Armstrong landed on the moon. The Steele Dossier is a hoax and the Hunter Biden laptop is real;.
John Say,
Well said.
Logic. It is an anathema to leftists.
So is common sense.
How can you take anybody seriously whose name is MOKOKOKOKOKOKO
Well this is awkward

Democrats fret about the political fallout from the Trump rally shooting
…some professional Democratic political operatives said Saturday’s shooting will end up sealing the incumbent’s electoral fate. “We’re so beyond f—ed,” one longtime Democratic insider said, noting that the image of Trump thrusting his fist in the air, with blood dramatically smeared across his face, will be indelible. “The presidential contest ended last night,” said a veteran Democratic consultant, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to give a candid assessment of his own party’s standing less than four months before the election….. “The only positive thing to come out of last night for Democrats is we are no longer talking about Joe Biden’s age today.”

Anything can happen, tho’. Another Act Blue sniper, another assassination attempt of a SCOTUS Justice, especially a Trump appointee (e.g. Judge Cannon), a sabotage of the RNC convention….. Democrats / MSM are now like feral animals. I wouldn’t trust any of them until they fled to Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua or Gaza where they would thrive….or not.
Meanwhile, CBS reports that Trump did not get any boost in the polls as a result of whatever the incident was on Friday.
No it wasn’t.
The “incident” was the attempted assassination of President Trump.
As to the rest – Biden’s candidacy was saved – for now, but the election went from likely Trump to Certain Trump
Betting odds are not 4:1 Trump with Trump approaching 70%. The loser was Harris who is not down in low single digits.
It’s not certain.
Trump must stay alive to win.
Who knows what ‘they’ will try to foil the ‘certain’ election of DJT.
It’s going to get worse before it gets better.
After the attempted assassination attempt by the Act Blue shooter, Google search found “Where can I buy Trump yard signs,” “Trump hats,” “Trump tee-shirts,” Trump bumper sticker” were all trending, just to name a few.
Why America’s Zoomers Are Turning MAGA
“Being young and Republican is often seen as a contradiction in terms. But Olivia Reingold talks to the young people excited to vote Trump—especially after the assassination attempt.”

Those young people are much more in tune with reality than you are.
Estovir,
I have also read that Democrat mega-donors are not likely to continue donating to the Biden campaign. They dont want him in the first place, which is why several have said they will not donate any money to Biden or the DNC till Biden steps down and is replaced. And they know he is going to lose. Why throw money at a lost cause.
When I want to get the attention of people, I often have a 20 yo kids take a few shots at my head from 450 feet, take at least one bullet, leave others dead and would, but let out a hearty “LOL, JUST KIDDING FOLKS!”
What is fake, and ripping of students, is a professor teaching “Race, Rhetoric, and Social Justice” and “Writing about Culture and Society.”
Well, I guess Trump won that idiot’s vote!
DEI Kim ‘sloped roof’ Cheatle says she will not resign.
But somebody has to resign and Mayorkas is her boss and he already has enough s**t on his toast with the border fiasco. Mayorkas is already saying mistakes were made but, surely, not by him.
But by whom?
Cheatle and her sorority girls should be updating their resumes.
Meanwhile, Trump would be safer if he hired his own security.
“. . . ‘sloped roof’ Cheatle . . .”
Of all the rationalizations used by the Biden administration to rationalize their incompetence, that one is the most insane.
The roof was allegedly too sloped for well-trained snipers to be safe and secure. But not too sloped for an untrained punk.
The conspiracists have no sense of logic or facts. The shooter did not miss. Not only did he hit Trump, he only failed to kill him because for some inexplicable reason, Trump turned his head at the exactly correct moment to save his own life. So I assume that Trump must have been in on the plot; he knew exactly when and how to “duck” (which is the best advice for what to do when you hear what sounds like gunshots). And gunshots from a nearby handgun in Harlem are going to sound quite alike rifle shots from more than a hundred years away.
The bullet is supersonic. So Trump would not be able to duck once he hears the shots. If i might be helpful here, you need to suggest that Trump would need to duck when he sees the bullet coming. Lol
This one deserves vest he Alex Jones treatment…
Hmm, All Recall how House Democrats recently sponsored a Bill to remove Secret Service Protection for Trump!
I’m trying to get a copy of that picture of Trump defiantly holding his fist above his head with blood on his face and the American flag in the background. If can get it I will proudly put it next to the picture of the marines raising the flag on mount Surinachi on Iwo Jima. Two Iconic pictures of our American heritage that will live forever. God bless America and god bless Donald Trump.
You’ll probably like the article linked below. It shows the photo you’re referring to, as well as several other iconic images involving Old Glory and depicting important events in American history:

Dang, that just became members-only. An hour ago anyone could read the article and view the images. But they included such images as a photo right after 9/11 with a huge flag draped on a building, the end of the Olympic hockey game in 1980 when USA beat USSR, an image from the War of 1812 with an earlier American flag, the painting of Washington crossing the Delaware – and of course the Mount Suribachi photo you mentioned.
I’d put it right next to a picture of Biden falling down at the Air Force Academy graduation. It would sum up the entire 2024 election in two pictures.
