I'm glad that Democrats are so ready to give Biden the adequate hell for his role in the ongoing genocide.
Oh wait.

I don't know whether or not TR actually said any of that. It certainly sounds like something he might say, but quote or not, it's the damned truth.

I'm sad Teddy and von Bismarck never met, would've been awesome to see how they'd interact.

Like Don Sr whining that “mean ads” should be illegal once voting begins and the Dem commentators shouldn’t be allowed on Fox News either then going to Murdoch to demand that happens? Like that?

That's the argument made to block gun control.
SkutFarkas
'gun control'. That's a loaded statement. Look at the statistics. We were safer during the assault weapons ban. Otherwise, I'm a firm believer that 'normal' gun control is hitting the target on the second shot

"and will lose both!" - is the end of the quote as I knew it. Not sure if accurate.
SkutFarkas
I was paraphrasing anyway...
CrabbyBlueberry
I've seen dozens of versions. It's probably apocryphal but the sentiment is true regardless of attribution or phrasing.
BolenArrow
Where was this quote when Biden was clearly incapable of functioning tho amirite? People into politics are so obnoxiously hypocritical xD can't stand a conversation with either group of sheep I swear
blackcat360
Ain’t that the truth.
We got which ever the why the wind blows Harris and lies/senile trump.
I have to go vote and it makes me mad just thinking about it.

Did you forget the massive surge of excitement when Biden announced he wasn't going to seek re-election, though?
None of us were super jazzed for another four years of Biden, but the other option is another four years of Donald Trump.

It's not like any of the people saying this actually mean it, anyway, since it only applies for certain presidents.

Friendly reminder that the traditional punishment for treason is hanging by the neck until dead
DestinyPrevails
"Tad"? He collaborated with enemies of the US to try to overthrow the US government. Trump, every Trump appointee, every Trump endorsee, every Trump endorser, every Senator and Representative who voted against certification or impeachment, and all GOP appointed judges, should be considered traitors by default and taken into custody until their guilt can be established.
TELunus
Fuck Trump, but maybe let's fuck him using due process instead of just throwing out "innocent until proven guilty"
DestinyPrevails
Proving him guilty will take all of 5 minutes though. "You incited the violent terrorist attack and tried to overturn the election. Okay. The gallows are over there." Maybe take a whole day to introduce evidence etc. His "defence" can get a day too, for all the good it will do them. Mind you, all this should have happened on Jan 21st, 2021, and his accomplices should have been taken into custody at the same time.
TELunus
Yeah I think the bigger issue is proving the judges' guilt. Being appointed, in and of itself, surely is not a crime?
DestinyPrevails
They're part of a terrorist network called the Republican Party and may have been part of planning a terrorist coup. Taking them into custody and trying the case is not excessive when that's the allegation. Of course while in jail they can't sit as judges and their spots on the Judiciary will have to be filled with new people. If they're found not guilty they'll have to wait for the next Republican to reappoint them to the Bench. Oops, the Republicans are all in jail. Oh well.

One of the extremely few Yank political leaders I have a great deal of respect for.

Unfortunately, Roosevelt was very much a White Supremacist, though with a few caveats. He overall believed that while the white race was superior in general, he felt that others could raise themselves up above their races' shortcomings as individuals to stand as equals. I don't know, it still seems wonky to me and the amount of respect I lost for the man is staggering.
Quessir
Well, poo :(
JapaneseGeneticists
I grew up in a town named after the guy, all I heard growing up was how great a man he was and all he did for the country. Lo and behold, there was stuff they didn't mention at all, like what I said up there and his hatred for the indigenous people of this country (my people). Never have I felt such a metaphorical bitch slap. The conditioning is strong too, because even now I want to make excuses, to say it's not that bad. This and Chuck Norris have ruined male role models for me.
Quessir
I'm sorry. It does seem like anyone who gets famous enough to be mentioned like that has some serious character flaws. Or as Malcolm Reynolds puts it, "It's my estimation that every man got a statue made of him was one kind of son of a bitch or another".
Disappointing is far too weak a word for it.

Let's be honest, few of the Western powers have placed quality politicians into power as of late. There are bright spots but....le sigh.

Jamie Raskin and Jasmine Crockett are 2 more I've noticed that I have hope in.

the guy was shot and still wanted to deliver his speech. The other guy was shot and wear a huge diaper on his right ear
NightfallEverdark
Shot AT. The blood came from being tackled by Secret Service.
cabalin
He did deliver the speech after being shot in the chest. The speech was 50 minutes long. Only then did he submit to medical treatment.
Hashbrown123
Didn't just want, he did continue.
Vicissitude
And mocked the would-be assassin during the speech :v
Bunnies007
He later said "I took a bullet to the head."

shot at*
idiotsonfire
He wasn't shot. Ears don't heal that quickly for a healthy 20y/o person. He's 78 and phenomenally unhealthy. No fucking way.
idiotsonfire
There is no fucking scar on his ear. There's not even a fucking scratch. It was all makeup.
RichardPotato
He got grazed by a bullet or shrapnel -- as lucky as it is possible to be. But his dr's report of a 2cm hole is obviously bullshit
GCRust
They don't even mention it any more. I'm not super comfortable calling it a publicity stunt since a young man ended up dead, but it does feel like it was just a publicity stunt.
idiotsonfire
That's the only reason I don't think it was totally faked. Yes, someone took a shot. But I don't think Trump was hit because of how fast they stopped talking about it. If he'd actually been injured, they NEVER would have stopped talking about it. Then again, maybe the NRA and the arms industry lobby just told them to STFU with enough bribes--I mean, donations, that they just moved on.
GCRust
I mean, as horrific as it sounds, I'm kinda glad the attempted assassination of a political figure got less time in the news cycle then a school full of dead children, given how these assholes have all decided the gun is more precious than human life.

It wasn’t makeup but it wasn’t a bullet either. /a/02ELs9P

So, you are one. It was a rhetorical question, by the way, I didn't require further proof.
16bitStarbuck
I'm more than willing to belive it was glass shapnel from the teleprompter. That's what reasonable people said on the day of the shooting. But to say rhat it was a blood capsule and staged is where I draw the line and I don't stand for bullshit from my allies.
HaberdasherInGold
Immediately after the incident I heard people describing it as shrapnel from the teleprompter. I still believe that's what nicked his ear.
W0lfsbl00d
Moment he got in the car and on his burner phone "that god damn kid! I thought you paid him to fucking miss me!?"
Hevach
The teleprompter or the bullet that hit the hydraulics on the lift, since that shot was the most direct on him. Remember: every shot is one in a million before you pull the trigger and switch from statistics to physics.
idiotsonfire
I can't dismiss that possibility, but I can't rightly agree with it without a full forensic analysis either. Its so in character for these nutjob fascists to manufacture a narrative that oh, our savior god king got injured by the evil archnemsis, even though he was totally fine the next day and there's no evidence of injury! Nevermind the blood capsule that we conveniently just carry around to make him seem like a martyr. I realize its conspiratorial, but that fits so fucking well in my view.
Tardis1217
My view is this: if it had been a setup, they would have picked somebody with far-left or at least left-leaning politics. The fact that the kid who shot him was a staunch conservative from a staunch conservative family really kinda confuses the "us vs them" message.
Also, I'm not sure if trump is trusting enough to let somebody take a "fake" shot at him. But I guess maybe he's narcissistic enough to think that he can survive anything. Idk. I just doubt that it was a setup. He's still an asshole
tidepool
Yes it was. tw: blood /a/02ELs9P
idiotsonfire
That's really easy to fake with a blood capsule. Its also the same kind of ghoulism, vampiric lie that a fascist who wants to deport millions of people would create.
