So was it an assassination attempt on Obama when that man was found in a vehicle with weapons in his neighborhood after

[malaise]

the CONvicted felon posted Obama’s address?

What about the gag orders imposed by judges after threats from the Slobfather?

A guest on Nicole’s program was pointing out the only users of violent rhetoric.

Enough of this effin bothsideism.

And for the record, Jan 6 was more than violent rhetoric. And so was the attempted kidnapping of Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer

[SheltieLover]

1. Absolutely!

[malaise]

3. The Obama suspect was a Jan 6 criminal

as well.

[SheltieLover]

13. And did they get a firm finger wag from the judge for "sentencing?"

[Blue Owl]

2. K&R

[marble falls]

4. Or the guy carrying an AR-15 around the Phoenix parking lot where President Obama was campaigning for re-election.

[malaise]

5. Yep

Rec

[flying_wahini]

6. Great point.

Yes, the decks seemed to be stacked.

[malaise]

8. And note that he was a Jan 6 goon

That is all

[Kingofalldems]

7. Absopositively.

[Bev54]

9. Funny, I don't remember any of the media framing it that way.

Once again................

[malaise]

10. If that wasn't neither was this one

and again. I repeat he was A Jan 6 goon and it was the CONvicted felon who posted the Obama home address.
Fuck this shit.

11. This is the USA, Malaise. Home of the heroes who, along with the Brits, won WWII pretty much 'single handed'.

The laurels we rest on are padded with racism and laced with bigotry. The shiny lining is the carefully woven fabric of lies we've told ourselves for hundreds of magically ignorant years. Some folks would say Barrack Obama was smart, and lucky, to have lived through his whole two terms unscathed. That talk, in some ugly circles, is still called free speech.

Can we, will we, change? Yes, if there is enough time for the truth to sink in far enough. Said truth, though discovered in the 1960's, has not been served much since. One of the major political parties still regularly uses Red-White-and-Blue red meat and spicy "greatest generation" white power powder in the special sauce of their political stew. It's an old recipe, but some people still eat it up. So many refuse to accept the coming, and infinitely sublime, reality of a "brown-majority" demographic in the USA. The worm is turning faster.

14. "Home of the heroes who, along with the Brits, won WWII pretty much 'single handed'."

The Russians might object to that view.

[ananda]

19. My dad always gave Russia credit for WWII.

If Hitler hadn't tried to take Moscow, he thinks
we would have lost the war.

[malaise]

23. So did both of my parents

And so does any correct reading of history. They got there first.

[HUAJIAO]

31. 27 million Russians died in ww2 including 19 million civilians.

[HUAJIAO]

32. in fact 27,000,000 Russians died in ww2

so don't tell me the USA and the British did it almost single handed.

[jaxexpat]

33. I'm so sorry. I didn't think the "sarcasm" smilie was necessary.

[HUAJIAO]

35. Sorry i misunderstood..

[SomedayKindaLove]

12. Media referred to Obama stalker

Using only his first and last name. If the media had considered it an assassination attempt, we would have learned his middle name as well.

Was amazing all the wrong information that was conveyed just merely in the breaking headlines on Sunday. All seemed to make Trump more “heroic”.

[kimbutgar]

15. The MSM only cares about the convicted felon

They get all excited when incidents like Sunday happens because they get more clicks to their sites.

They gush with ecstasy reporting on him and they still want to be in the bad boys club with him!

[surfered]

16. Excuse me, but which side of the political spectrum are these groups on:

The KKK, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, Militias, Three Percenters, and the Boogaloo Bois?

Who are ones still living in the basement of their mother’s house and dressing up in paramilitary gear and playing Army on the weekend?

Who wants to ban assault weapons and who doesn’t, thinking they’re more important than the lives of school children?

Who said he would pay the legal fees of his supporters if they beat up a protester at his rally?

Who ask their Secretary of Defense to shoot Black Lives Matter demonstrators in the leg?

It’s always Trump and his supporters on the right.

[malaise]

20. Great post

The truth

[electric_blue68]

17. Woah, I don't remember that! But I also Wasn't Yet on DU. Otoh, I Knew President Obama was getting like 3xs the amount..

of death threats of any modern President (thinking of Lincoln), if not all of them.
Yikes! 😞

[malaise]

18. I remember well

If that wasn’t an assassination attempt neither is this one

[electric_blue68]

24. It's possible it got buried w other other problems I had 2 rough years during his Presidency...

Anyway... Sure sounds like one to me after the Orange Goon opened his mouth!
Coincidence?

No!

I'm a spiritual person and I prayed for him & his family's protection practically every night knowing how some white people were/still are! Especially w drumphf blabbing his birtherism crap back then.

[Warpy]

21. Been listening to European vloggers

who say this asshole was a well known grifter over there after the Ukrainian forces took a hard look at him and said "thanks, but no thanks, kid" when he tried to join up. He then apparently spent much of his time over there until his visa ran out collecting money that no one ever saw being used for its intended purpose

Maybe he was going to ;plug the Secret Service guys so he could approach TFG for some pointers. Or maybe he was going to shoot TFG, a shitty course of action because we'd end up with President Vance (shudder) if he succeeded.

His pedigree (rap sheet) lists over 100 arrests, probably small stuff since the last one was for destruction of a machine, whatever that might be.

Politically, he's all over the map, supporting Sanders and TFG and Biden and now Harris. He doesn't strike me as stupid or even particularly malicious. I have to think there are some untreated mental issues going on.

[malaise]

25. Very interesting

Thanks

[PortTack]

22. Great points!

27. Here's the answer.

ALL media needs to adopt a policy to STOP reporting anything that stinks of attacks on personality, or contains unsupportable claims or unverifiable "facts" ("alternative facts&quot . "Tabloid" (ALL, now, apparently) journalism needs to print a warning at the beginning and end of each piece indicating if the information is unsupported and unverifiable (you know ATTRIBUTION, Accountability, a person to OWN the responsibility for the veracity of their statement)... you know... a lie, or, charitably a fantasy. Failure to do so should be punishable by a LARGE fine, prison time, and a lifetime prohibition on publishing or otherwise disseminating anything at all, punishable by Life in prison. I can't over-state how important it is to protect the integrity of the information that citizens need in order to make any of the many, many decisions they must make in this life. (And... I want to know what Loopy Laura Loomer was doing when she SAW Ms. Harris "sucking dick to get ahead", or shut the fuck up. And how it was when she was trying to get the flaccid out of THAT Deplorable Mushroom. America Wants To Know.) I'm old, but I remember something called "Libel", but apparently such things as that are now rendered "quaint" and "moot" in a world beset by "Invisible Hands", "Imaginary Friends", "Alternative Facts", and "Magical Thinking". I mean they PROMISED to contrive any kind of fantasy to showcase the "suffering" of the American (White) People!?!?!?!? Can I get A "WTF"?

[malaise]

28. Sorry that is not the answer to this OP

That is all

[BurnDoubt]

30. Yep. Ooooops! That is all.

[MichMan]

29. Should have been

Not sure why the DOJ didn't refer to it as such.
