Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that the right continue to promote actions and groups that would do harm to those we love? Groups like the Proud Boys, and actions like anti-LGBTQ legislation?

Oh so that justifies the latest school shootings.

Gotta admire Gator's stamina. Dozens and dozens of posts, basically the same 2, 3 shallow bits over and over again, conveniently ignoring replies that disprove his claims.

For a while it felt like he was genuinely interested in an honest exchange of opinion, but I guess we have reached a point where it has become clear that the power of the echochamber is strong in this one and he is not willing or capable to really listen.

 

For the record:

- No, not all people that dislike Trump are leftist extremists. Stop insinuating that.

- Writing in a similar manner as Trump speaks does not lend credibility.

 

Thumbs up to all of you that contribute and try to keep a civilized conversation going.

No I literally don't as I have pointed out the context earlier.

 

I just love how you see the context here, but not in any of the things Trump says. 

 

If you read I mentioned it's a very odd "figure of speech".. Acknowledging that it wasnt meant literally

 

But go ahead and twist things for your narrative

 

Ignore that bad in your party. I'm actually baffled at how openly people ignore things talking politics. It's both comical and scary.. People like you make it very hard to side with the left.

 

And I'm an anti gun, pro vaccine guy, and pro abortion (not late term).. Yall are gone mad though. Big time

When you asked about the bloodbath sensationalization, i gave you the exact response you were looking for. You promptly ignored it.

 

I don't pick and choose, or ignore what is inconvenient.

 

You can't scream context and ignore what is inconvenient to you.

 

I didn't.

Once he's out there it's a public fact. It's not like he was shot at on the 1st tee.

 

It's like when a coach is seen in town dining with the team owner. The current coach is on borrowed time. it's not rocket science.

Secret service? Oh you mean the people that basically allowed him to be murdered in front of millions of people and got away with it?

 

Lucky for Trump the dude was a horrible shot.. That poor man wasn't so lucky. Victim of the Secret Service's incompetence/possible assassination failure

 

That is my opinion. Figured I'd say that before people twist it into me presenting "facts".. But no sane person can look at all those facts and not be atleast a LITTLE suspicious 🤏.. Think yall are the wrong kind of "woke"

BTW: The previously stated "200 yards" between Trump and the shooter has been updated to "300 to 500 yards".....

When quizzed on how close Trump was to the suspected shooter, a FBI spokesman replied: “300 to 500 yards.”

 

....or about the distance of one of Trump's tee shots....:classic_rolleyes:

Oh OK. Sorry my bad. Missed it. Definitely didn't "ignore" it 😅

 

Trying to debate a dozen people at once with real life happening can be a daunting task LOL

Bunch of crap. There have been 288 school shootings in the US 2009-2018. The 2nd highest number in the same timeframe is from Mexico: 8. Canada had 2. Japan none. 

The US had 28 in 2024 alone. They have always been there and will remain. Luckily I don't have to send my kid to school in the US.

Based on true events during the times of 60s.
