It checks out. The double standard is written in crayon by the media.

From the guy who whines about Democrats inciting violence by calling him a threat to democracy after he tried to overturn an election too stay in power.

Were any shots fired?

Cause I’ve said it before, if no bullet is fired then it’s not assassination attempt, it’s just sparkling intimidation.

I thought this when I heard about the Manson chick was charged with attempting to shoot president Ford, when apparently it was an unloaded gun.

Interestingly, two women have been done for attempting to murder a president; both of which was against Ford within the same month within a small radius (maybe 100 miles).

It was concepts of an assassination attempt.

I think generally anything that is considered an attempted <whatever>, the judicial system takes into account the intent of the person who is being accused. If the intent was to assassinate Trump, and the person had everything they needed to do it, and would have done it if they had not been stopped, then a real attempt was made.

So the state has to prove that they would have done it not stopped and the defence has to prove the opposite (or something like that)?

I think the vast majority of his current supporters are self-hating and want to make others feel as badly about life as they do - without realizing it, of course.

I could see someone coming to resent him while still holding the Republican “deplorables” identity. He is functionally above the law. Still ripping people off. Still pretending to be something he’s not and will never be. And they still have crappy little lives.

But who knows? I’m just a rando.
We’ll never know the intent or reasons of the first shooter. It’ll be interesting once the second guy’s story comes out.

This isn’t accurate. What they are saying is, “why isn’t anyone shooting Kamala Harris.”
