July 17, 20241 yr 1 hour ago, Next_Up said: Deranged, most likely. The point is that the weight of evidence so far points to an assassination attempt on Trump by one of his own. Not uncommon -- Chapman-Lennon. The reason this is factually important is because of how the personality profile would be weaponized by the right to further divide the nation with "FIGHT" energy if the kid was left leaning. One of the first info sheets available on Crooks if you searched was quite likely created by Russian sources. It was a long list of his participation in lefty events and groups, lots of antifa, that was civil war fodder. The attempt on Trump's life is tragic and should have no place in our political arena. Sadly, that's not who we are as a nation nor who we have been. It's not glee to cite what's known about Crooks as right leaning, it is relief that his association with almost any other group would have resulted in the demonetization of that group and that the ramping up of fear mongering that is a tool too much used by both sides won't happen. Unless there is a new campaign against mental illness. Dude, go back and start from the beginning of this thread. I’m not citing random tweets by Russian bots. I’m pointing to people IN THIS THREAD who were quite clearly in glee at the attempt and disappointed it wasn’t successful. I’m not pointing to random to random Russian bots for facts, I’m pointing to the New York Times. Quite clearly the shooter was not a fan of Trump. Quite clearly he donated actual money to democrats. Those are actual facts — an attempt on his life and financial donations to democrats. "Well known right leaning” is not a fact. It’s something a classmate claimed, while others have claimed he was apolitical and most just said he was weird. Unless you can cite something he himself actually said…

It’s something a classmate claimed, while others have claimed he was apolitical and most just said he was weird. Unless you can cite something he himself actually said… He was a registered republican. His classmates in history class cited that he was often the only student on the conservative side (this is a fact unless you say there is a conspiracy of misrepresentation by his peers: https://www.inquirer.com/news/pennsylvania/thomas-matthew-crooks-trump-shooter-id-butler-20240714.html), he belonged to a gun club, neighbors have said his house had Trump signs in front of it. Some circumstantial but this is a lot more than a single donation to democrats to be able to watch the process--"A spokesperson for Progressive Turnout Project said in an email that the group had received the donation "In response to an email about tuning into the inauguration” -- not support but participation to be informed. It is also pretty apparent that he was suffering from mental illness -- an agnostic political position. BTW, you do the victimhood thing well--foundational RNC platform. Congrats.

July 17, 20241 yr I like Tim Kennedy. He went into Afghanistan as we were pulling out to rescue a few interpreters.

That's pretty crazy, you think he got the idea to do that after tearing through a case of Miller Lite? his welfare collecting arse can only afford natty ice.

July 17, 20241 yr Jack Black’s band cancels tour after backlash to bandmate’s comment on Trump assassination attempt Quote Jack Black’s comedy rock band Tenacious D has canceled its remaining tour dates after band member Kyle Gass sparked a backlash with an apparent joke about Saturday’s assassination attempt on former US President Donald Trump. Footage posted on social media from the band’s concert in Sydney on Sunday showed Black presenting Gass with a birthday cake onstage and telling him to "make a wish.” Gass responded: "Don’t miss Trump next time.” The exchange prompted a call from one Australian lawmaker for the band to be deported from the country. In a statement to CNN on Tuesday, Black said he was "blindsided by what was said at the show.” "I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” he added. "After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.” Gass apologized for the comment in a post on Instagram on Tuesday. "The line I improvised onstage Sunday night in Sydney was highly inappropriate, dangerous and a terrible mistake. I don’t condone violence of any kind, in any form, against anyone,” wrote Gass. "What happened was a tragedy, and I’m incredibly sorry for my severe lack of judgement. I profoundly apologize to those I’ve let down and truly regret any pain I’ve caused.” Gass has since been dropped by his Hollywood talent representative. His agent, Michael Greene of Greene Talent, told CNN that he has parted ways with Gass, but he did not provide additional comment. Band members Black and Gass had been due to play in the city of Newcastle, New South Wales, on Tuesday, but promoter Frontier Touring announced that the show had been "postponed” in an Instagram post earlier on Tuesday. Tenacious D was scheduled to perform in Brisbane on Thursday, before heading to Melbourne and Adelaide, and then onto New Zealand and the US. Backlash While some commenters interpreted the exchange as a joke, Australian senator Ralph Babet said that the pair "should be immediately removed from the country” in a statement posted on X. "To advocate and or wish for the assassination of a President is egregious, disgusting, filthy, evil, and not acceptable in any way, shape or form,” said Babet. "This was not a joke, he was deadly serious when he wished for the death of the President.” "I call on the prime minister Anthony Albanese to join me in denouncing Tenacious D, Jack Black and band member Kyle Gass, and I call on the immigration minister Andrew Giles to revoke their visas and deport them immediately,” Babet said on Tuesday. "Anything less than a deportation is an endorsement of the shooting and the attempted assassination of Donald J Trump,” he said. Australian radio host Kyle Sandilands also criticized the band. "I will not be participating in any future Tenacious D interviews,” he said. Tenacious D have previously appeared on the Kyle & Jackie O "In the Morning” show on KIIS radio. On Saturday, US President Joe Biden condemned political violence in the wake of the shooting. "There is no place in America for this kind of violence – it’s sick, it’s sick, it’s one of the reasons why we have to unite this country,” Biden told reporters. "We cannot allow for this to be happening. We cannot be like this. We cannot condone this.” Glass's agent also dropped him
