Second Attempt on Trump's Life?
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
NEW: Former assistant FBI director says would-be Trump assas*n Ryan Routh may have had inside information on Trump’s schedule. Chris Swecker says there is a “scary” possibility someone else was involved. “The biggest question to answer is: ‘How did the would-be assassin know to be at that location at that time?'” he told Newsweek. “There are only three possible answers: He guessed and got very lucky; he conducted surveillance on Trump and followed him to the golf course, or he had inside information about Trump’s schedule.” “The last answer is scary and has implications that another person was involved.” During an interview with Fox News, Martin County Sheriff Will Snyder said the “million dollar question” is how Routh knew where Trump was going to be.
If Trump wins, there definitely will be.
I can't imagine Thiel spent all that money to get Vance into the VP spot without an intention to have him in direct control and Trump out of the way.
It has ever been thus.
American politics has often been an arena for angry minds. In recent years we have seen angry minds at work mainly among extreme right-wingers, who have now demonstrated how much political leverage can be got out of the animosities and passions of a small minority. But behind this I believe there is a style of mind that is far from new and that is not necessarily right-wing. I call it the paranoid style simply because no other word adequately evokes the sense of heated exaggeration, suspiciousness, and conspiratorial fantasy that I have in mind. In using the expression “paranoid style” I am not speaking in a clinical sense, but borrowing a clinical term for other purposes. I have neither the competence nor the desire to classify any figures of the past or present as certifiable lunatics. In fact, the idea of the paranoid style as a force in politics would have little contemporary relevance or historical value if it were applied only to men with profoundly disturbed minds. It is the use of paranoid modes of expression by more or less normal people that makes the phenomenon significant.

I have been following Thiel a bit over the years.
Not much can stop him.
He is a frustrated gay gay that thinks he can rule absolutely anyone.
He appears to be a "I want something else" supporter.
Trump in 2016.
Tulsi in 2019.
Get Trump out in 2020.
Hayley and Vivek in 2024.
Why do you think Peter Thiel paid Trump to take JD Vance as a running mate?
So that Thiel could have a president of his choosing if Trump wins.
So the government security successfully stopping this guy with no shots fired means they shouldn't be trusted?
OH!
You think Alex Jones is a "modern day prophet".
LOL
Never mind.
Who voted for Trump in 2016 and begged for a Hailey Vivek ticket. Yup, another disappointed Trump voter who realized he fucked up and wanted to rectify the errors of his way.
He had an automatic rifle.
I believe at various times various states used to define fully automatic rifles as weapons of mass destruction.
I don't think any do now.
Or he just hung around the golf course and figured eventually he would get lucky?
Mitchy, you owe me a pack of double AA batteries. Using my mouse constantly to scroll over your vomit is wasting my duracels man!!!
Hey!
Don't put yourself down like that.
Just because you have a wildly lower IQ than me doesn't mean you aren't allowed to respond.
No argument there.
The whole category of "Weapons of Mass Destruction" is a problem, even restricting it to chemical, biological, and nuclear, because those really aren't the same things.
I'm not a fan of it.
What?
Never!
Predicting Trump would play golf instead of campaign clearly requires a super genius.
