Trump’s own use of stochastic terrorism was what caused his assassination attempt. The problem with stochastic terrorism is that the person using it can never quite control the location where it will occur.
I do enjoy the weak use of (falsely) in that headline.
Why not ‘Trump lies about his assassination attempt to Dr Phil’
More accurate and it would save on printing costs too
His own party wears a lapel pin of AR weapons. It’s their self proclaimed weapon of choice.
LeopardsAteMyFace, why would they do this?
Had to look it up.
From Wikipedia:
“Stochastic terrorism is political violence that has been instigated by hostile public rhetoric which is directed at a group or an individual. Unlike incitement to terrorism, stochastic terrorism is accomplished by using indirect, vague, or coded language that allows the instigator to plausibly disclaim responsibility for the resulting violence. A key element is the use of social media and other distributed forms of communications where the person who carries out the violence has no direct connection to the users of violent rhetoric.”
Trump told Dr. Phil he thinks Jesus wants him to copulate the country.
Funny, I blame irresponsible gun laws and a bloated, ineffective secret service. The guy’s motives aren’t known well enough to say for sure how much Trump brand politics played a role.
Coming from the “King of MAGA Harassment”. He mentions someone and his minions go after them. The worker at Arlington won’t press charges because she’s afraid of retribution. They are like the gangs Trump scares his followers with
Gun nuts being told that the political opposition tried to kill your cult leader? Can’t imagine this going poorly.
The audacity of it all.
Trump’s legal team argued in front of the Supreme Court that the President can target a political rival for assassination and still be immune from prosecution, and the Supreme Court agreed.
No one really cared about it when it happened and now he’s doing his worst to politicize it… And I think everyone’s gut prediction that he’d do so is part of why no one really gave a shit.
Democrats really need to push back hard and explain to the world that the reason no one cares he got shot at is because **he** and **his
party** ramped up the rhetoric and what lines they were willing to cross so much so quickly in the past 8 years that it just didn’t feel like that much of an escalation. Which is a really sad reality, but one they caused nevertheless.
Not sure if actual politicians can be this clear but any Dem pundit/operative not in office needs to completely shut this down. We need to start rhetorically fighting fire with fire, something liberals have been scared to do for far too long.
You know, I kept waiting after the assassination attempt for someone–anyone–to point out that the common denominator in shooting sprees in public spaces tend to be isolated, young white men. I think it’s a rather moot point that he was a registered republican and supposed trump supporter. It came out a few days ago that he’d searched for both trump and biden events. It was indiscriminate and symptomatic of how dangerous IMO rhetoric and red pilled/incel podcasts have become for our society. This is the root cause and the ability to get an assault rifle within hours in America is barrier (lack thereof) to entry.
He’s facing prison. He doesn’t care. If Americans die, it’s all worth it.
Every accusation out that guy’s mouth is a confession of what he’s done, is doing, wishes he could do, and will do if able.
He’s stoking the base hoping some nut will retaliate at some point and he’ll wipe his hands of it.
I had completely forgotten – no joke – that there was an attempt on Trump!
His own supporter tried to kill him. Trump only has himself to blame.
This has to be getting to territory where it’s just illegal you cannot just say your political opponent tried to assassinate you on live tv when your own base is fucking deranged. When will he be held accountable for this language? Probably never like always.
What’s also troubling is that people still listen to “Dr” Phil.
We’re *already* in an “are of danger unparalleled in modern American history” because Trump tried to overthrow the peaceful transfer of power. Trump blaming Biden and Harris only *further* ratchets up the danger a little more.
Why the fuck is Dr. Phil still a thing
What is with his weird butthole lips?
Well, how does it feel when Sarah Palin’s website showed a map of the US with gun sights labeling states and House districts held by undesirable Democratic members of Congress, shortly after which appearance of said website, the representative of Arizona’s 8th Congressional District, Mrs. Gabrielle Giffords, was on January 8th, 2011 the victim of attempted murder in her local voter-outreach office in Arizona IN THE PRESENCE OF HER CONSTITUENTS, SIX OF WHOM WERE MURDERED by a mentally-ill young man with a gun, whose name I will not type here?
Website of degenerate Palin’s PAC website as reported by Huff Post: [https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sarah-palins-pac-puts-gun_n_511433](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/sarah-palins-pac-puts-gun_n_511433)
The answer is Trump feels nothing unless he is in pain. His followers feel nothing unless they feel pain.
Fuck this meatsack and fuck everyone who lusts after him.
it’s already past that point.
