Excuse me, but are you new here?

We are all dicks.

I know.  But jmog is so literal and is like a dog with a bone about p-town.  He thinks p-town is wrong for calling himself a moderate and he disagrees with his take on Biden’s senility.  WE GET IT.

More info (allegedly) on the man killed in the crowd. His daughter posted that he died while shielding her and her mother.

I feel so much sympathy for the victim and his family.

I also feel some of that for the villains family. I mean can you even imagine all of the feelings that they are experiencing? They will carry all this forever, too. Hopefully they will be left alone and not targeted in any way.

He chases away any poster who isn’t on the right or challenges any posts on the right but claims to be libertarian. This is why the site has so few members and people just leave because he’s insufferable.

I was talking specifically about the politicians and their media.  The party of "isms" have been using those labels perjoratively for 20+ years with anyone that disagrees with them.

Saying Trump is Hitler is over-the-top vile hyperbole.  Saying Biden is senile turns out to be true...

Jd Vance is probably the most notable person who called trump americas hitler unless I’m missing someone considering he’s up to be the vice president.

On a side note, my wife is from butler, pa and had childhood friends and neighbors there. This is definitely the heart of MAGA country with most yards and houses with trump flags and multiple billboards similar to the hell is real thing we have here. I have posted them before. I wonder if this is why security was so lax or maybe not as stringent as other places.

There were and are other posters who have done way more damage to traffic on this site than jmog.

Look, man, just because you have other things in your life besides saying you "won" an internet argument and your brain doesn't break and put you in "obsessive ex" mode because someone openly disagreed with your opinion, doesn't mean everyone is so fortunate!

A little while ago I was watching a Jimmy Dore Livestream where he played a vid of the shooting. It shows snipers on a roof, finger on trigger, looking down their scopes, didn't shoot until the villain did. Now, I'm not sure if that vid is 100% correct with the timing of it. But it does kind of draw me in considering just how long one bystander was telling the cops/Spooks that there was a man on a roof bear crawling with a gun. 

Has anybody else seen that vid?

I don't think it's possible to know the timing.  I also heard that a cop climbed a ladder to confront the shooter, but then must have bailed when the shooter pointed the gun at him.  Then apparently the shooter immediately open fired soon after, so it's possible that cop disrupted him enough to just miss.

As for the counter sniper, guessing he could have been 200 yards away or more.  It's going to take a few seconds to line-up that shot.

But if any of the above is true, that's going to give conspiracy theorists plenty of material to work with.

Well, aside from the current POTUS whom, if he hasn't directly referred to Trump as Hitler has certainly made that connection numerous times.

I haven’t seen it but I only need to be on X for a few minutes before being overwhelmed with everyone screaming conspiracies or assigning blame. Need a social media blackout for a bit.

He’s making an opinion.  Don’t be a dick.


Have you read any of ptown’s BS on Biden’s mental faculties? Couldn’t give an opinion unless you were a doctor

Oh yes, so few members because I have called you out for BS. Yup, that’s the reason.


Good Lord.


And I have actually voted for both sides of the aisle for POTUS and Congress, multiple times each way.


Can you say the same? How many R presidents have you voted for?


I understand bc I am not a far left wing nut case that means I can’t possibly be middle of the road, but I have actually and do consistently vote both sides. Can you say the same?  


I voted for Bill C and Obama (whichever term he went against McCain/Palin).

Ok, so the livestream I watched earlier has been segmented and I've found the pertinent video that shows what I brought up earlier.

Skip to 13:15

That clip clearly shows the snipers ready, fingers on trigger, already scoping the guy and then they wait until he fired first. Now, unless the timing was off somehow - which came easily be the case - it's a pretty alarming vid to me.

We've lost more than a few pretend moderates over the years.

But somewhere Boatshoes is finally laughing at me about buying treasuries....

Glad he didn't succeed in killing Trump. Can you imagine the chaos that woulda ensued?

Agreed. I can't stand Trump, he is a narcissistic asshole. I have voted for him zero times in primaries as I thought he was the worst R candidate all 3 times. But political assassinations are never a good thing.


Anyone (I have seen none on here, but plenty on social media) who is even a little sad that the shooter missed, is worse of a person than they believe Trump to be.


But just as there are nut jobs on the left, there are plenty of nut jobs on the "MAGA" side that would have caused insane problems if that bullet had been 1/2" one way.
