“And we have some of the worst people in America with the biggest platforms and the biggest microphones.”
Sorry, Steve, but I can’t muster much outrage about the aborted assassination. Why no Secret Service protection for the Haitians in Springfield endangered by Trump‘s and Vance’s rhetoric?
Yes, there is protection in Springfield ...NOW! And no one has anything to say about the President and VP who have been threatened? it was in the Wash. Post.
Yes, and I'm wondering how many people still work as Capital Police? Who wants to risk their lives? I don't have numbers but I've heard there's been a lot of attrition since J6
What is going on now is called floating TRIAL BALLOONS. It has been happening for awhile already. But now MAGA is gathering its nuclear arsenal and lobbing one out there starting wth Springfield, Ohio.
Here we have Vance publically admitting he intends to create false narratives that put lives in danger, and he has absolutely no conflicting feelings about it. Going forward he will lie, admit to lying, watch the target burn...and smile. Everything is transactional and justified in this zero sum game.
You think Springfield is bad? Imagine what's coming down the pike!
I've been saying this for awhile and I'll keep on saying it. An evil wind is blowing, and MAGA is absolutely prepared to use it and burn the county down. They will create widespead chaos and extreme violence no matter who wins. People I know who previously thought I was wildly overstating things aren't thinking that so much now. I advise everyone to prepare themselves.
Chump put Taylor Swift in the bullseye yesterday morning. I’ll be relieved to get off this moving train wreck, but I’m not sure where the next stop is.
Agreed. They will ban books because they discuss either a history they deny or a lifestyle they disagree with. But, hey, take all the guns, you know, the things that are actually harming and killing children, you want into schools. The disconnect is shocking.
The hypocrisy is total. These people who promote bans on books and bodies care NOTHING for the people at all. More children will die and be traumatized. GO HARRIS!!!
What’s truly delusional and WEIRD is Vance publicly admitting that he will lie about Springfield, just to get the message out about migrants invading our country, and utilizing all of the city’s resources like schools and hospitals.
Apparently, school and hospital bomb threats, and threats against city officials and the Haitian community is not enough to stop this madness. Vance and Trump must create a crisis in order to solve the crisis they created to begin with.
Ironically, the Haitians aren’t migrants! They are here legally and have “protective” status. And they were asked by the City of Springfield to relocate there because Springfield had a high number of manufacturing jobs that they couldn’t fill with the current population and workforce.
The Haitian people didn’t take anyone’s jobs. And as for utilizing the schools and hospitals? They live in the community and pay taxes! So what exactly is Vance’s point? How does terrorizing an entire immigrant population solve or even address the border issue?
It doesn’t! This is the new abnormal, and the current definition of insanity!…:)
The "Social Dilemma" Netflix documentary, about how social media algorithms are designed to work, has an expert say, "fake news travels 6 times as fast as the truth". Political tactic.
Agreed. I use to say that lies travel around the world at the speed of light, while the truth is stuck in the starting gate.
This is particularly true when dealing with diseases or an economic crisis. Experts can’t solve the issue without data, and the data needed to address the issue takes time to study and collect….:)
One of the most gut-wrenching yet overlooked aspects of LIAR Trump and his minions infecting Springfiled is the misery, fear and unimaginable suffering the Hatians have gone through to get here. And now they finally are here--legally--they are proving to be honest, hard workers filling jobs that need to be filled.
Now their worst fears are being realized. They have come from Hell to find something like Heaven only now to face Hell again. And that is because of an evil scum-sucking, blood-thirsty, power-obsessed amoral narcissist piece of shit and his likewise bottom-dwelling MAGAts If you ever doubted all of that is literally true, you have absolutely no reason to doubt it now.
Every day in my mailbox I am barraged with pro Chump flyers. I finally realized what has been happening. A super PAC funded by Musk has littered North Carolina with these flyers. The gullible here will lap up this crap.
yeah, I saw that! He posted some vile shit about Springfield. You know Muskrat wants to rule this country with Trump and bring his apartheid BS to our country. oh, he was contacted by authority and the POS said it was a joke and he took it down. But someone saved it and has reposted it.
Muskrat, damn he posted some vile racist comments on X (formerly Twitter) and ASA reported to law enforcement, he said it was a joke and he took his own vile post down. But, many saved that post and it is still on X. Deport that apartheid POS back to his own country instead of trying to pull that nonsense here! And why he is funding the orange rapist.
I think this entire "assignation attempt" is bogus! This is a political stunt....MY opinion. In 9 years = 2 alleged "assassins" missed a target that large? Joking aside, how was JFK not missed? I am serious, folks. I can be wrong, but I just don't buy this crap! Please, for my sanity, I want someone to reply and convince me I am not thinking straight. This thing got wrapped up like doing the Hokey Pokey? The police.....again, how did they apprehend a criminal so quickly, when we have so many unsolved cases? And the chief of Police? Secret Service, you need to step your shite up and protect our President and Vice President, not some criminal! And on OUR tax dollars...spend that money on protecting our children while you are at it.
I suspect the first assassination attempt was genuine, but Trump greatly exaggerated the damage done. This is obvious, since no damage to his sacred ear is visible. And his useful idiots played into it, looking like a bunch of damned fools with a kotex pad covering one ear.
I agree that the second non-attempt may have been staged. Trump looked so fat in the photos; he would have made an easy target for a serious assassin.
What I think is interesting is the fact that Trump wasn’t scheduled to be on the golf course that day. It was an unscheduled visit, which means the shooter couldn’t have possibly known Trump would be playing golf that day.
So how can this be a planned assassination attempt? There are two possible explanations. One: the shooter visited the course in the past and on several occasions; finally getting lucky. Or Two: he didn’t plan on an assassination attempt.
Has he even admitted anything of yet? If he did, he’d be charged with the assassination attempt, but hasn’t.
I won’t go down the conspiracy road just yet, because I don’t see the upside for Trump in doing so. This guy was clearly mentally ill. No one in their right mind would use a mentally deranged guy to attempt an assassination. Too much could easily go wrong and Trump’s minions could easily get caught. And let’s say it was a false flag, so the shooter didn’t know who he was really working for. Again, it doesn’t really compute. Trump’s most trusted advisors right now are not military genius’s or intelligence experts. They’re more like the keystone cops, so I’m not really buying the conspiracy angle.
That said, something is fishy though and stinks to high heaven….:)
And These are the Potential Future Leaders of America??? Destruction from within at their Behest?? He just said It.!!! Hopefully I'm not giving em any new ideas but, doesn't this smell like the attempted Creation of an 'American Caliphate' from the Helter Schelter of Chaos and confusion, home grown terrorism (stocastic), Let the little people do it for us, their too stupid to understand, we're getting them to tear it down for us.!!! 2024???
To help Kamala win, we need to encourage millions of moderate and undecided people to register and vote Blue. Some voters in battleground states have had their registrations illegally cancelled– extremists are submitting fake death certificates! So even voters who have registered/voted in the past now need to check their status.
Registration deadlines vary: in Georgia it’s Oct. 7, but check your state. I don’t text or phone bank because these days, so few people answer a phone number they don’t recognize – it’s a waste of time. So I’m sending postcards to voters in Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and North Carolina. Postcards with the voterizer.org/ QR code lets people quickly learn if they’re (still) registered, they can easily register if needed, and request an absentee/mail-in ballot. Absentee voting is important because many people won’t feel safe going to vote in person, with the unrest we are bracing for.
Postcarding purists entirely hand-write each card for a personal touch. But how many cards can you send that way? If you order pre-printed cards you can add a sentence to personalize the card. You can download addresses by state - it comes in an Excel file, you can do a mail merge and print stick-on labels at home. Doing it this way enables me to mail hundreds of postcards!
If you buy cards that don’t have the printed voterizer QR code, you can print it yourself on a sticky label and affix it to the card. Or write this web address - “Can I vote?” https://www.nass.org/can-I-vote
You can buy pre-printed cards from either of the following:
Okay, there was a gunman with apparent plans to shoot TFG. That is awful and something no one should ever encourage. That said, it's being framed as an assassination "attempt", although all reports up to this point reveal no shots were actually fired at TFG, but rather from the Secret Service into the tree line. I'm no legal scholar, so perhaps reading this wrong, but a prevented attempt is still an attempt? PA 2 months ago? Sure, actual shots were fired and he was wounded, whether it was shrapnel or an actual bullet is irrelevant. Of course, he wants to portray himself as a victim and the media plays along. Yet, the dog whistle by TFG is he is already blaming Biden and Harris for this attempt because he's been called a threat to democracy. Well, he is a fucking threat to democracy by his own words and actions.
Again, every accusation is a confession with TFG. He's called for the imprisonment and execution of people (e.g., Milley) and stated, "I am your retribution" and so many other calls to violence and division. This isn't campaigning and harmless "free speech" but calls to arms and action. It is sickening.
It is out in the open now! All his lies, BS, and propaganda, yet they will still vote for a rapist, a felon, racist...and Black people need to beware but they will still vote for him. On X, I simply urge them to read Project 2025. I fear for our POC if that maniac every gets back in that Oval Office. Can they not see what is happening to the Haitians in Springfield? Don't they get it yet? and Musk funding Trump, J M and J! he is part of the apartheid culture. This is why our country is doomed.
When Republicans state "violence has no place in politics," all I can say is, yeah it is only in our schools, right? There are too many stupid Fox brainwashed people in our country that don't understand the saying " live by the sword, die by the sword." I am starting to think that maybe they should have let the South secede and if people didn't like that type of country then they could move to the North. Of course that would not have helped the slaves, but we might have had a more enlightened country in the long run.
Steve, you must realize that Ken Burns will be reaching out when recruiting contributors for what will be an epic documentary. Make sure your contract includes Mabel screen time.....I'm guessing 10 episodes, with episode 5 "They're eating the dogs"

Exactly Ron
Yes, there is protection in Springfield ...NOW! And no one has anything to say about the President and VP who have been threatened? it was in the Wash. Post.
I think Biden needs to seriously start thinking about having the National Guard protect our elected officials, election workers, etc.
Yes, and I'm wondering how many people still work as Capital Police? Who wants to risk their lives? I don't have numbers but I've heard there's been a lot of attrition since J6
Absolutely! Get tougher, Biden!
Agreed! See my comment.

It's going to be a looooong while I'm afraid.
The sickest thing, to me, is that more school children will die because of these evil calls to violence.
Agreed. They will ban books because they discuss either a history they deny or a lifestyle they disagree with. But, hey, take all the guns, you know, the things that are actually harming and killing children, you want into schools. The disconnect is shocking.
The hypocrisy is total. These people who promote bans on books and bodies care NOTHING for the people at all. More children will die and be traumatized. GO HARRIS!!!
What I also found especially troubling are Trump’s rallies in sundown towns.
What’s truly delusional and WEIRD is Vance publicly admitting that he will lie about Springfield, just to get the message out about migrants invading our country, and utilizing all of the city’s resources like schools and hospitals.

Musk put a mark on Kamala's back on purpose. He should be thrown OUT of the U.S.A.
yeah, I saw that! He posted some vile shit about Springfield. You know Muskrat wants to rule this country with Trump and bring his apartheid BS to our country. oh, he was contacted by authority and the POS said it was a joke and he took it down. But someone saved it and has reposted it.
Some brainwashed MAGA-Cult followers will kill for 'dear leader'. Musk knows.
