Title: Trump Assassination Attempt Thread
Post by: SVPete on July 14, 2024, 08:22:09 AM
Just to get a thread started ... I collected the Shoutbox posts as they were when I came into the Cave this AM:

Happy Fun Ball [13|Jul 04:51 PM] Whisper to Happy Fun Ball Happy Fun Ball: It seems that it was indeed a bullet and not shrapnel. Trump himself just said so.

FunkyZero [13|Jul 06:01 PM] Whisper to FunkyZero FunkyZero: i just saw the plot layouts. that guy was on a roof with a rifle prob about 100yds from Trump. SS has a lot of questions to answer. this is unacceptable

franksolich [13|Jul 06:34 PM] Whisper to franksolich franksolich: Mr. Scorpio (73,648 posts) Sat Jul 13, 2024, 08:28 PM 96 RECOMMEND My skepticism is fueled by the fact... That with Trump, you can never take appearances for granted. He is entire political existence has been built upon distorted reality and perceived martyrdom. I do expect him to do everything to monetize and politically exploit this incident. From every perspective, none of this was good for anyone.

CollectivismMustDie [13|Jul 06:39 PM] Whisper to CollectivismMustDie CollectivismMustDie: That SOB still owes us a schooling.

Happy Fun Ball [13|Jul 07:08 PM] Whisper to Happy Fun Ball Happy Fun Ball: I've heard some loons actually suggest this was staged.

Happy Fun Ball [13|Jul 07:53 PM] Whisper to Happy Fun Ball Happy Fun Ball: Press conference now

CollectivismMustDie [14|Jul 12:45 AM] Whisper to CollectivismMustDie CollectivismMustDie: The shooter was an act blue donor, that registered republican, presumably to vote against Trump in the primaries.

CollectivismMustDie [14|Jul 12:46 AM] Whisper to CollectivismMustDie CollectivismMustDie: The DUmmies got it wrong again.

Old n Grumpy [14|Jul 01:07 AM] Whisper to Old n Grumpy Old n Grumpy: So he was a fake republican? I guess the democrats won’t believe it.

Old n Grumpy [14|Jul 01:08 AM] Whisper to Old n Grumpy Old n Grumpy: the posts at the dump are disgraceful and disgusting. Their hate has no bounds.

Old n Grumpy [14|Jul 01:09 AM] Whisper to Old n Grumpy Old n Grumpy: this lies on bidens shoulders with his call to put Trump in the cross hairs

Happy Fun Ball [14|Jul 03:03 AM] Whisper to Happy Fun Ball Happy Fun Ball: I just realized something... The bullet hit Trump's right ear, and the shooter was to the right of him (facing him). This means that Trump would have to had his head turned to his left in order for it to only hit his ear. Otherwise, it would have hit him in or around the right eye (which would have likely been fatal).

Old n Grumpy [14|Jul 03:35 AM] Whisper to Old n Grumpy Old n Grumpy: He was 2” away from being killed

Mr. Corpulent cannot see anything except through a Dem-Politics lens. Disgustingly pathetic.

I'm going to use this article, Assassination Attempt Aftermath (https://hotair.com/jazz-shaw/2024/07/14/assassination-attempt-aftermath-n3791786) to pick out a few details of what is "known":

Quote
First of all, the identity of the shooter seems to have been confirmed. Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania fired at least five or six shots with a rifle before being killed by a Secret Service counter-sniper team. (You can see a couple of pictures of him here. He looks like a geeky nerd, but clearly even nerds can be dangerous in certain circumstances.) Props to the Secret Service for their rapid, effective response.

Quote
Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania is believed to be the person who shot Trump and several rally attendees, the FBI confirmed. One person is believed to have died during the shooting and another is in critical condition.

Quote
... Crooks was located on a roof outside of the rally site. But that does suggest that there will need to be a quick review of the Secret Service protocols that are in place. Providing security for Trump must be a nightmare given his packed, chaotic schedule. But that roof was apparently an obvious spot where an assassin could make an attempt. They should have had someone stationed up there.

Quote
... Crooks has no known ties to the campaign, the police, or the Secret Service that we are aware of.

Quote
The assassination attempt on Donald Trump was a chilling moment for our nation. It has also shown us the true colors of the deranged anti-Trump left. A number of leftists responded to the assassination attempt by taking to social media to express their disappointment that Trump was not killed.

"I just got out of the movies and for a split second I thought Donald Trump had been assassinated," one woman recorded herself saying. "And I thought to myself, this is the best ****ing day of my life. and then he wasn't so it's the worst day of my life."

"A message to whoever shot at Trump," another man posted. "You is a lame ass bitch. because how the f**k did you shoot and miss? No, bitch, if you have a mission, make sure you hit that target."
...
"How do you miss that?" another charming lad screams. "We don't miss those! C'mon man! F**K We don't miss those! One shot at greatness, to be mentioned in the history books, and you miss the shot?"

Are there posts like these on DU? Or did DU Mods take down such posts?

Around 1:30 AM ET, the FBI identified the shooter as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Bethel, Pennsylvania.
...
According to Prem Thakker of The Intercept, voter records show that Crooks was a registered Republican who has made just one political donation: a $15 donation to the left-wing ActBlue political action committee on January 20, 2021, Joe Biden's Inauguration Day.

From Biden insists he's the best bet for beating Trump as allies weigh in (https://www.scrippsnews.com/politics/america-votes/biden-insists-hes-the-best-bet-for-beating-trump-as-allies-weigh-in) before it gets scrubbed:

Quote
A memo the campaign sent to Hill offices obtained by Scripps News highlights President Biden’s energetic campaign rallies, swing state polling and grassroots support.

The president joined a call with the Biden Victory Fund National Finance Committee, where the campaign says he told supporters, “It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye,” framing his strategy for the next debate as “Attack. Attack. Attack. Attack.”

Later Monday evening, President Biden met virtually with the Congressional Black Caucus — whose members, by and large, have been vocal in maintaining their support for the president.

I included the paragraphs before and after the pertinent Biden words just to show I did not wrench Biden's words out of context to distort their meaning (the way Progs do, systematically, with Trump).

If you tell enough people and repeat it often enough that Donald Trump is "an existential threat", that his election "will be the end of our democracy", that "he will suspend The Constitution", that if he wins, "there will never be another election", that "he will eliminate our freedoms", that "Trump is a dictator", that "Trump is a Nazi"...  eventually, some left-nut will do this. Hell, it's not even an accident, they were banking on it. It shows in their reaction to it all last night and today. Many of those on the left, mainly those with the loudest voices, lost their humanity long ago.
Years of violence, propaganda, and law-fare directed at Trump have failed, so this is their last line of defense since they have no viable policy to sell to voters.
For years I took the position that we were all looking for the same basic things, and that ideological differences didn't matter much if we simply try to understand things from the other point of view. That all changed with me starting with Obama, and the left have only accelerated the hate exponentially over that time. To me, it is now personal, and I have a serious dislike for those on the left because I can clearly see what they would do to me if they could get away with it. They are not fit to live among the rest of civilized society. Their thirst for power has no limits, and they simply cannot be trusted any longer.

Media Rushes to Blame Trump For Assassination Attempt

https://ewerickson.substack.com/p/media-rushes-to-blame-trump-for-assassination (https://ewerickson.substack.com/p/media-rushes-to-blame-trump-for-assassination)

Quote
It is both disgusting and remarkable that, within minutes and hours of the attempt on Donald Trump’s life, the media was blaming Donald Trump.

Jamie Gangel on CNN lamented that, in the thirty seconds after Donald Trump got shot, he did not urge people to tone down the rhetoric, instead choosing to show the crowd he was okay by raising up his fist and yelling, “Fight.”

Margaret Brennan on CBS, after Trump released a statement mourning the dead and praising law enforcement, lamented he did not urge people to tone down the rhetoric.
...
Frankly, the media’s rhetoric, not just the politicians, has been to attack Trump as a threat to democracy, a would be dictator, and an autocrat unless someone stops him. MSNBC ran an entire series called “American Autocracy” about what life would be like under Donald Trump.

Now, the press is blaming Trump for not toning down the rhetoric. The press won’t be happy until Trump is killed.

Nolte: Politico Spins Trump Assassination Attempt to Shots Fired at ‘Rally’

The far-left Politico’s first draft of history informs its stupid and gullible readers that former President Trump was not an assassin’s target Saturday night in Pennsylvania, the “rally” was.

Here’s the opening of Politico’s lead piece, published at 5 a.m. Sunday (I don’t link misinformation):

Headline: “Shooting at Trump rally spotlights rising violence that has become America’s political reality”

Sub-headline: “Saturday’s violence broke out against a backdrop of a government already inundated by threats for members of Congress, judges and other officials.”

The shooting at Donald Trump’s Pennsylvania rally is the latest horrifying proof of the increase in violence and threats that has gripped America’s contemporary political discourse.

The country, already seething and polarized, appears to be bracing for recriminations, even as details about the shooting were only beginning to emerge.

Yes, according to Politico, the wannabe assassin wasn’t firing shots at Trump, the wannabe assassin was firing shots at the “rally.”

Don’t you get it? Trump wasn’t the intended victim. The “rally” was.

One more from John Nolte at Breitbart:

Nolte: Trump-Is-Hitler Media Want ‘Rhetoric Toned Down’ to Avoid Accountability

The corporate media tell us Donald Trump is Hitler, is Mussolini, is a unique threat to democracy, a fascist, a dictator, a Russian spy who stole a presidential election, a rapist, an insurrectionist, and a traitor. The corporate media champion phony impeachments, cheer a federal raid on his home, and validate Joe Biden’s attempt to imprison him, bankrupt him, and take away his businesses…

And now this same corporate media want us to tone down the rhetoric.

No.

The media have spent a decade sowing the wind,  and now the media hope to avoid reaping the whirlwind.

No.

They want the rhetoric toned down for only one reason: to avoid accountability—their own accountability and Joe Biden’s accountability for recently telling his donors to put a “bullseye” on Trump and for declaring Trump a “dictator” on the same night as the assassination attempt.

The media (and Democrats) must be held accountable for a decade of assassination dog whistles. When you launch a dehumanization campaign backed by billions of corporate dollars against one man in a country of some 350 million people, you are knowingly targeting that man for assassination.

After all…

Is it not a moral imperative to assassinate the next Adolf Hitler, to assassinate the man who will end democracy as we know it, to assassinate a fascist who will ensure this is America’s final presidential election?

Of course, it is.

But never mind that Trump is none of those things… The media thinking is this: We can’t defeat him politically, we failed to imprison him, so let’s call him a “unique threat” to incite someone to shoot him and then, after the shooting, let’s blame the victim and then try to shame Orange Hitler’s MAGAHitlerTard followers into silence.

No.

This is not the time to tone down the rhetoric. A former president, a current presidential front-runner, a husband, father, grandfather, and leader of tens of millions of everyday Americans was a half-inch away from annihilation Saturday night.

There must be accountability.

There must be a reckoning.

We must never stop shouting “Assassin!” in the corporate media’s hate-filled face.

Disgusting people like joy Reed the people on the view Rachel Maddow they should be taken off the air.
Biden has his share of blame for this too. We’re telling people to put Trump in the bull’s-eye

J6 Cmte. Chair Bennie Thompson's Aide Shows Us Who Dems REALLY Are Making THIS Wish After Trump Shooting

Working at Twitchy, we see and read a lot of horrible stuff. It's just part of what we do. And as you all know if you've been reading us at all over the past 12 hours, we've been seeing and reading a lot of horrible stuff.

Stuff that honestly even surprises us.

And considering we cover people like AOC, Eric Swalwell, and even Joe Biden that's really saying something. This post from a field director for Congressman Bennie G. Thompson is really and truly awful.

Note, Thompson was the ranking member of the January 6th Committee so ... yeah:"

(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GSaHaDaW4AAjVCw?format=jpg&name=small)

Not only did she think it, she put it on Twitter for millions of people to see.

What was she THINKING?!

A sane person, a rational person, would probably think twice before posting such a thing on Twitter. Especially if he or she works for an elected Democrat who just so happened to chair the J6 Committee.

Then again, no sane or rational person would likely work for Bennie Thompson so there's that.

I was at a friends house last night after the shooting. We were all talking about what had happened and what might take place afterwards. I knew there would be some sick crap in the media and online.  One thing I mentioned to my friends was I doubted the media would take responsibility for all the hate they were putting out over the years. When a person has to take the major media to court over the lies that are told about them on TV and in Radio and then that same media says little to noting to apologize for the lies then that tells you everything you need to know about them. The media is not journalism and stopped being so decades ago.

The MSM will not admit that they have been spewing hatred and lies about Trump non-stop, for 9 years.

This reflects what I've expressed here for decades, but here's what I posted at the Gutfeld forum this afternoon:

This brief 24 hours of Kumbaya and can't we all just tone down the rhetoric will disappear by tomorrow night.

I've already read about several MSM "journalists" spouting lib-turd talking points that President Trump's and his supporters contributed to the violent rhetoric. Briefly caught Tarlov (yeah, guess she's back from maternity leave) and Marie Harf essentially blame DJT & Republicans and twisting the narrative.

Once the Joyless-twins (Behar and Reid), that "dude" on PMSNBC (Maddow), her twin Hayes, and Lawrence O'Donnell chime in tomorrow, the crazies on the left will have completely adopted the same bullshit they were saying up until the assassination attempt almost 24 hours ago.

I've heard a lot of the media propagandists touch on this and invariably combine it with his current voter registration in order to make the point that you can't really tell if this scumbag was politically motivated to try to assassinate Donaldus Magnus.

I would contend that it confirms that this shit bird is a dyed in the wool leftist scumbag, absolutely steeped in the party dogma. I suspect his voter registration was Republican because his last vote was cast as an Operation Chaos-esque effort to help a weak milquetoast Republican through the primary ballot.

Officer reported man at Trump rally with range-finder 30 mins before assassination attempt: source
https://www.foxnews.com/us/officer-reported-man-trump-rally-range-finder-30-mins-before-assassination-attempt-source

Quote
BETHEL PARK, Pa. – A local law enforcement officer spotted a suspicious man carrying a range-finder "in or just-outside" the venue before former President Donald Trump took the stage at his rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania on Saturday night, according to a law enforcement source.

The officer reported the sighting to state police, the source said. He took a photo, and there was a discussion about whether what he was carrying was a pair of binoculars to try and see the rally better.

A few minutes into Trump's remarks, a would-be assassin identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire, according to authorities.

He wounded the former president, killed a 50-year-old father of two and wounded two more spectators before a Secret Service counter-sniper neutralized the threat, according to authorities.

Activision Announces Release Of 'Call Of Duty: Moderately Sloped Roof'

(https://media.babylonbee.com/articles/669bdbd941042669bdbd941043.jpg)

U.S. — Video game developer Activision announced what has quickly become its most anticipated release in years, with newest franchise installment Call Of Duty: Moderately Sloped Roof.

"The adrenaline is off the charts," said lead developer Kevin Masterson. "It's all the excitement and intensity you love about Call Of Duty, but now with a slight incline. It's insane."

According to sources, the campaign mode will follow Private Soap as he makes his way through the intense regimen of Secret Service training, then attempts to stop an assassination plot against the President. "This is the most difficult, extreme campaign we have ever made," said Masterson. "You have to literally crawl on your tummy up a slight slope and not fall down. Then, you have roughly twenty minutes to line up your shot. I'm light-headed just talking about it."

The game will feature new character options, including the opportunity to play as a five-foot tall woman who cannot wield a pistol. "It adds a whole new element to the game," said game tester Stephen Carson. "You can also outfit your character with brand new perks like 'enhanced sitting', where you are able to sit on a roof with ease. If you progress to level 50, you can even unlock an extension ladder to help get up and down off the roof. It's so exciting."

At publishing time, Activision had announced that the multiplayer platform would have an invincible "Trump" character that could be unlocked if your character survives having an ear blown off.

Michigan Charter Boat Captain Says Account Was Hacked, He Didn’t Wish Trump Dead
https://www.shorenewsnetwork.com/2024/07/16/michigan-charter-boat-captain-says-account-was-hacked-he-didnt-wish-trump-dead/

Quote
Caseville, MI – The Caseville community is embroiled in controversy following a contentious Facebook post linked to Tom Carriveau, owner of Explorer Charters, after the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump on Saturday, July 13.

Tom Carriveau claims he was hacked and did not author the post from his account, which appeared Saturday night and suggested disappointment that the shooter missed his target. The post ignited widespread backlash, leading to significant consequences for Carriveau.

“Damn, bad shot,” Carriveau posted on X. “Would have done the world a service.”

Now, he says he didn’t post the message and that somebody else did that. He claims his account was hacked by a nefarious actor who posted that comment about the former president after Saturday’s failed assassination attempt.

Steve Louwers, President of the Caseville Chamber of Commerce, announced that the board unanimously voted to terminate Carriveau’s membership. The decision was based on the post violating the chamber’s by-laws by engaging in conduct deemed unbecoming a charter member and practices detrimental to the community.

Trump shooting: UBC prof celebrates assassination attempt, then deletes social media

A UBC professor is under scrutiny after posting a tweet that appeared to celebrate the assassination attempt on former U.S. president Donald Trump, and another that lamented its failure.

“Damn, so close. Too bad,” Karen Pinder, a professor of teaching at UBC’s medical school, posted on X.

“What a glorious day this could have been!” she wrote in a subsequent tweet.

The tweets were published early Saturday. Pinder almost immediately deleted her account, but not before another user named @IR_AMauntie replied, “I reeeeeally wish the person had better aim.”

Michael was sad that the sh**ter didn’t finish Trump & posted multiple comments about it.

Would be a shame if everyone called Great Lakes Stainless at (231)943-7648

Sioux Falls School District employee fired after comments about assassination attempt on Donald Trump

The Sioux Falls School District has fired a Ben Reifel Middle School behavior facilitator, after she made comments on social media regarding the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally Saturday in Pennsylvania.

Cassandra Oleson, on her personal Facebook page under the name Cassie Martin, which is now inactive, had posted “Shoot -- If only he would’ve had his scope sighted in correctly,” shortly after the assassination attempt by the person FBI identified as Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania.

A bullet grazed Trump’s upper right ear, leaving him bloodied but not seriously injured. One rally attendee was killed in the gunfire and two others were "critically injured," authorities later said.

The Sioux Falls School District said in a statement provided by district multimedia specialist Tory Stolen that its Code of Conduct policy “clearly outlines the high standards to which we hold all staff members, given the public trust in our responsibility to educate the children of our community and serve as positive role models,” the statement read.

Race On Broadcasting Employee Fired Over Trump Death Post, Says He Was Hacked

Shreveport, TX – Phil Whipple, an employee with Race On, an auto racing broadcast company in Texas, has been fired after his comments regarding the failed assassination attempt against former U.S. President Donald J. Trump.

“Hey, rednecks,” Whipple said. “The next shooter isn’t going to miss. This was just to get your attention, and I see it worked quite well. By September 1st, that man will be DEAD. And the half of us in this great nation who understand what a threat he is to Democracy will stand and cheer.”

Race On said they terminated Whipple’s employment upon being made aware of his comments.

“We are aware of the post made by Phil Whipple. Those statements reflect Phil’s view, not RaceON’s, our racing community, sponsors, or partners. Phil‘s relationship with RaceON has been terminated,” the company said in a statement.

Later, Whipple, like others facing backlash for their comments, said his Facebook page had been hacked.

Here is the post.

Trump assassination attempt: Iran threat prompts questions about gunman's uncracked encryption
https://www.foxnews.com/us/trump-assassination-attempt-iran-threat-prompts-questions-about-gunmans-uncracked-encryption

HARRISBURG, Pa. – The FBI investigation into the failed July 13 assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has revived the argument over whether Big Tech firms should provide law enforcement with a backdoor method to break their own "unbreakable" encryption.

Weeks before the attempt on Trump’s life, the Secret Service received intelligence warning of an Iranian plot to kill the former president, according to federal law enforcement officials. But while experts are skeptical of any connection between the 20-year-old would-be assassin Thomas Matthew Crooks and Iran, they haven't been able to access some of his communications 18 days later.

So it remains unclear who he was talking to, if anyone, and what topics would have been discussed.

"I think we've experienced a range of returns because some of the applications that he was using online were encrypted in nature," FBI Deputy Director Paul Abbate said during a Senate hearing Tuesday under questioning from South Carolina Republican Lindsey Graham.

The FBI has gained access to some of his emails, he said, but some of his encrypted communications remained undecipherable Tuesday.

This makes you go hmmmmmm......................

Rock Star Slammed For Anti-Trump Stunt During Concert

Green Day lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong is facing criticism for a stunt during a Washington, D.C. concert.

The rock star held up a fake head/mask of Donald Trump during a show at Nationals Park Monday night, and people weren't impressed at all.

After all, people are being encouraged to turn the temperature down following Trump being shot, and holding up a mask of the Republican leader hardly seems to be doing that.

Leftists are unhinged.  :mental: :censored: :mad:

I approve of moronic hate-driven "reporters" and celebrities self-Dixie-Chicking. Self-culling the MSM and Hollyweird sounders.

Former Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle Ordered White House Cocaine Evidence to Be Destroyed, Report
https://www.dailyfetched.com/former-secret-service-director-kimberly-cheatle-ordered-white-house-cocaine-evidence-to-be-destroyed-report/

Quote
Former US Secret Service (USSS) head Kimberly Cheatle attempted to destroy the cocaine found at the White House, according to a report.

The report comes following the infamous cocaine discovery at the White House earlier this year.

Last month, Cheatle resigned from the Secret Service following major failures that led to an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

According to anonymous sources within the Secret Service community, Cheatle and other top agency officials pushed for the disposal of the cocaine when it was first discovered at the White House.

This is the tip of the iceberg.
