    This is probably the least crazy part of the whole equation. I mean if you’re about to go do something that’s going to absolutely get you fucking killed, might as well rub one last one out before you go.

    Didn’t Project 2025 say that they wanted to ban porn?

    This seems like something they’ll use to get leverage on that matter.

    “Porn makes you want to shoot down the furher”, or something like that.

    Who doesn’t. I’m sure he also consumed bread. (But I fail to see the connection with the case. )

    This sounds very much like typical psy ops information to be honest. Trying to paint a picture of someone as a degenerate.

    I bet he was looking at some porn the same day, as some people do. Nothing special.

    No one secured the ladder or the roof or responded to alerts of a gunman on the roof. There’s only two angles where you could shoot the ear without it entering the head, must be a million to one shot… but the real question to ask is…. a teenage boy looking at porn?… that is crazy!

      In america a 20 year old looking at porn is crazier that shooting someone in the face. Like obviously he was bullied and naturally he’s gonna murder someone at some point. But holy shit, he also looked at porn, what a degenerate

      It was the FBI who released this info. You’d kinda think there’d be no need to publicly share this kind of info because it is not relevant and not great for surviving family members.

            Except we got him by voting for him, but most of us on this platform didn’t do that.

              I’m talking more about the buzz when he was still just a cooky candidate that obviously wouldn’t be put on the republican ticket, but god damn did he make for good television like every time he appeared! And he just kept saying wild things that we all loved reacting to.

                that we all loved reacting to.

                I hated the fuck out of trump since I first saw him on the apprentice. I was too young to know anything about him before that except he cameoed on home alone 2. But on the apprentice his entire persona was that of an ignorant rich asshole. His whole schtick was that he knew more than anybody when clearly he knew nothing. I told my parents I don’t get why they watch a show to see an ignorant moron be a jerk.

                Then literally everything I heard after that made me hate him more. At no point was I glad to hear about Donald Trump. At no point did I find any of it funny. Fuck him.

                And I disagree talking about him got him elected.

                  In another timeline, the apprentice didn’t run and when trump tried to run after being insulted by Obama, had people laughing at him like RFK.

                  Fucking idiotbox…

      As a thought exercise: if he succeeded, doesn’t that only further incite the right, convince them that they are fighting the holy fight, and accelerate violence against the citizenry?

      I don’t like Trump either so I get the feeling behind the message, but I don’t see any universe where a successful assassination attempt is a net positive for the country. Seems like it only furthers division and probably leads to a worse place overall.

      Would love to know how I’m wrong though.

        I feel like somehow this assessment focuses heavily on speculation and ignores a very key fact in that scenario. Trump would no longer be able to be president. And we don’t really know what violence they’d commit exactly. I think it’s pretty sure there would be violence… But why are you assuming it would be widespread and against innocent people? And again it’s like Trump being gone is not even worth mentioning
