He talks about Rosie because she’s just living her life and not seeing massive consequences from his hatred. The would be assassin got the fury of the state stomping down on them.
That’s Thomas Matthew Crooks on the right. It’s wild how easily I forgot that at least 2 people have tried to assassinate him.
I don’t believe for a second that the first attempt was legitimate.
Which was the first one?
This guy was on a roof and shot his ear.
The second attempt would be from Ryan Routh, NATO obsessed guy who loved Biden and Ukraine and could summon 10,000 volunteer soldiers he recruited to help Ukraine, if only he got to charge his ult.
how in the ever loving fuck did I not hear about Ryan Routh. that should have been everywhere
2 people so far….
Yeah, I was sure to phrase it “at least”, because who knows if there’s been other attempts that we don’t know about or have been foiled before they got the chance to.
Why would you remember him?
None of the spaces on the left are set up to keep anything like this topical. Even this post is only because of Rosie which is from this week. Next week you’ll forget about both.
Have you seen the latest moth Sheeran post though 🔥🔥🔥
First of all, I’m not even American. Should I really have to remember shitty assassins like John Wilkes Booth? I bet you don’t know who destroyed my nations fleet during the Napoleonic Wars. I’ve given you enough clues though… Secondly, don’t you think the left was just as interested in the very close assassination attempt at the leader that is now black bagging civilians off the street?
What “spaces on the left”? Where? Every social media site is either run by the far right for the far right or is like lemmy and is at best fairly moderate.
Bluesky? I run in some circles over there but it stays pretty sanitized. I would dare call it insufferably sane-posting
How’d that happen? The Internet was fairly left up until recently.
Organization and exploitation of the tolerant.
The right wants to meddle and they wanna fight you so they can meddle more. The left don’t want to bother, they want everyone to mind their own.
Letting meddlers mind their own means they come to you to meddle and you leave to avoid it and suddenly there’s Lemmy in an internet full of people that want to kill you for not being them. The left doesn’t fight, it allows.
Close. The internet was never leftist – as in opposing capitalism. It was at its best the ACLU wing of liberal, and at its worst the age of consent wing of libertarian.
When social media exploded, the internet condensed to just a few aggregator platforms. You now had all this traffic and attention that could be more easily monetized than a million small websites and forums, and that’s what happened. Your few companies that own these aggregator platforms now have an enormous financial interest in (1) keeping content palatable to advertisers and (2) keeping regulation and taxes at bay. They accomplish the second in part by cooperating with the U.S. intelligence community, to the point of becoming one of the many industries with a revolving door between their corporate governance and the parts of the actual government that deal with the industry.
Of course any significant leftist communities on these platforms get snuffed out: big business and the American government hate the left. Your ACLU-type liberals get pushed right or out as the impetus to make money drives every decision, with their free speech language selectively co-opted to protect the right. Then your most right-wing party starts to become openly fascist around the time a fascist buys one of the major platforms and removes even the nominal guardrails against the most egregious fascists.
Now we’re here: with a few small non-fascist corners of the internet populated by a mix of leftists and liberals.
Rosie is giving me Christopher Pike vibes in that pic. Love it.
Comments like this prove lemmy is insurmountably better than reddit
Am I too European to understand what this is about?
I’m not American, and thanks for asking. I had no clue either haha.
Rosie O’Donnell criticized Lord God Emperor Trumpus Maximus and like the true narcissist he is, he has never stopped being mad at her for it. He recently threatened to revoke her citizenship even though she was born in the US to US citizens.
The guy on the right literally tried to assassinate Trump, but he’s dead now. Not sure why Trump never mentions him though, other than he’s probably satisfied with the fact that he died trying to kill him.
Trumpus (~Trumpet) Maximus
The fact he never mentions the guy on the right is odd because there are a lot of unanswered questions. Two phones, foreign (Mossad) tech used to hack them, never mentioned again. His lone-gunman (CIA/Mossad agent) background is suspect. Yet, Trump isn’t digging down into him, or maybe he was told not to by his handlers (Zionist.)
How do we know this about him? I hadn’t really read anything about him after the attempt
yes. appreciate that fact and enjoy your day.
No. Matthew Crooks went after him because of his suspicion of Trump being in the Epstein Files.
Rosie was brought by Trump, in association with a heinously treasonous idea, to distract from Trump’s association with the Epstein Files.
Distraction is Trump’s preferred tool when he’s scared or grifting.
He never mentions the guy because the “assassination attempt” was a poorly disguised hoax, and EVERYONE knows it.
Worse for HitlerPig is that he KNOWS that everyone knows that it is a hoax, so he’s keeping relatively quiet about it. Now and then he makes a reference to it, but it ALWAYS falls flat. Even his own followers don’t get worked up about it because they know it was a clumsy hoax. If they claim to believe it, then they have to explain the fact that the guy was a hard-core MAGA, another awkward fact they don’t want to deal with.
It was a hoax that didn’t work, and one guy had his head literally blown off, so best to keep it on the DL.
How can it be a hoax if it resulted in the death of 2 people. You really think Trump hired somebody to fire live rounds at him? I think you’re in the minority here, I too thought it was awfully convenient with the timing and the lack of information about the shooter, but I just can’t believe Trump would allow someone to take a shot at him.
Could have been someone else (not Trump) allowing an attempt on Trump’s life, figuring:
- If they stop it early, they’re heroes and Trump gets a boost. Could have planned to not let him get shots off and fucked up that part.
- If Trump actually dies, it’s a tossup election at worst and Trump is more self-interested than ideologically conservative anyway.
Possible, definitely not a sure thing.
Wow. I thought only the right had conspiracy theorists.
That’s actually a good point.
