[W: #795] At least three people have been shot at the homes of Minnesota Democrats in overnight attacks by a gunman posing as cop

Your argument is silly. Bunch of evidence points to this murderer being 100% maga but your argument is that because these two lawmakers didn’t want to give immigrants “free healthcare” then that means murderer was not MAGA?

That's exactly what he is inferring, and for the record it's pretty obvious that some mentally ill teen was sacrificed for a reality tee vee stunt that they call an assassination attempt because ear cartiledge does not magically grow back.
It was not as assassination attempt, it was a stunt.

As for Scalise, let's remember that Hodgkinson had a long record of domestic violence and mental illness, and he received the appropriate response, because is dead now, unlike Vance Boelter.

These two just broke with the Democrat party. Sounds like retaliation.

Here we go. You guys always truck out the same shit the day after something like this happen and a day before the facts come in, then slink away shamelessly and never bring it up again. We hear it every time: He's a tranny, a secret gay, a closet Mexican, voted Democrat once in 1994, yada yada yada.

Give it a rest, literally: Let the dust settle and the facts come out for chrissakes. You don't have to be first in with the latest lies before we have all the facts. There are no points for being quicker, but still wrong.

Generally his targets and current manifesto (if there is one) are more than enough to tell you about a shooter's politics in the moment he acted. Other than that, and often in addition to it, he's just ****ing crazy anyway.
 
I actually find this slightly offensive because it doesn't make any sense that it was a stunt.

1. A stunt set up by who? And how did they get around security and the Secret Service? That would require collusion. And if that's the way it happened, then it makes more sense that it would have been people that wanted to kill him, not people that wouldn't.

2. You don't fire multiple rounds of live ammo onto a stage full of people for a stunt.

3. An innocent man was murdered during this.

There are so many logical arguments you can make against Trump. You don't benefit from arguments that don't even make sense.

Not to mention that comment was lobbed right around the time Chelsea was in the most awkward phase of puberty where both young girls and boys are at their most vulnerable, so it was a truly tasteless attack.
And Miss Chelsea did grow up to be an attractive and smart young lady, not a dog at all.

Don't agree with the text here, but it appears she recently voted in a matter that may have some relevance as to why she was targeted.

From the NY Times, reprinted in my local newspaper today re the above:

"She wanted to protect state health coverage for adult immigrants living in the U.S. illegally, a liberal policy enacted on her watch as speaker in 2023. But when the only budget deal that she could broker included a GOP bill to cut that coverage, she provided the single Democratic vote in the House, securing its passage so that state government would remain funded for the next two years."

So, it appears that she had the interests of the entire population of Minnesota in her decision. Good for her.
 
In a sermon in Matadi Congo, Boelter railed against the LGBTQ community. “There's people, especially in America, they don't know what sex they are. They don't know their sexual orientation. They're confused,” he said. “The enemy has gotten so far into their mind and their soul.”
”God is going to raise up apostles and prophets in America,” he added, “to correct His church.”
 
No consequences for rush and now we have people like Mike Lee posting shit on Twitter to troll
 

There are a dozen DP posters who could say something like this. They're all MAGA.
 
Textbook Maga speak.

Notice how it's been four years since he croaked and NOBODY in media and none of the pundits on either side have mentioned him or any of his work, even in passing.
Nobody has ever celebrated January 12th, his birthday, there is only a single plaque honoring him in a hall that honors famous Missourians but nothing anywhere in our Nation's Capital, or in New York City where he did his largest syndicated radio show. There's virtually NOTHING that keeps in the hearts and minds of Americans.
It's almost as if he never even existed.
 
The bothsiderism (from sane and decent people) has a chance to allow Trump and the Republican Congress to end our democracy.

Which will destroy the families of many of the people who played the bothsiderism.

Obviously I was replying to your last comment about your stupid conspiracy theory about the two victims voting against healthcare for immigrants, and how that somehow explains why the killer was not a Trump supporter.

The bottom line is Trump and his supporters are authoritarian thugs who rely on the threat of violence to get what they want. The reason why Trump supporters are inventing all manner of conspiracy theories to explain this attack away is because it is an example of illegitimate violence that undermines the broader rationale for Trump’s authority (big “tough” guy needed to solve emergencies).
 

Obviously you're just as brain dead as Biden.

If you reply to my questions, answer the questions. If you reply to my questions, and don't answer the questions, then I have no reason other to conclude that you are full of shit.

I wish.
They arent like that unless you are trump it seems.
 
Jenny Boelter, spouse of the lawmaker‐assassin still on the run, got pulled over in Onamia, MN around 10 a.m. Saturday. Pop the trunk and what do cops find? A handgun, a stash of ammo, wads of cash, and multiple passports— TOTALLY NORMAL LUGGAGE.

Ten bucks says she was headed to International Falls.
 
Another case of a republican shooting dems. First loughner and now this guy. When will GOP violence end?
