Collins followed up with another tweet calling for the local county prosecutor to “immediately file charges against Joseph R. Biden for inciting an assassination.”

Someone didn’t get the memo from SCOTUS.

      An actual trained sharpshooter/sniper/assassin wouldn’t go for a head shot, they would shoot for center of mass.

        I’d imagine Biden has access to lots of government officials who would have the capacity to get much closer to trump then 100m without having to go through security. Also once again the republicans accuse Biden of something most of us know he doesn’t have the balls for. If Biden was half the things the republicans accuse him of being he’d probably be my favorite politician ever.

        Either way, if Biden ordered it, it’s fine unless congress removes him from office as long as the SCOTUS decides it’s an official act.

        FTFY, they left the door open to future interpretations in their ruling.

        Still a crazy, dangerous ruling.

    The Republican District Attorney in Butler County, PA, should immediately file charges against Joseph R. Biden for inciting an assassination.

    Why? Supreme court very explicitly said that it would be legal.

      Ok let them bring the charges against him and let’s have the supreme clown court explicitly say it’s not an official act. Let’s get that on record now.

        Like the six stooges on the court wouldn’t find it unofficial for Biden and then two months later say the exact same thing is legal when a Republican does it.

        The record means nothing to these fascists.

        SCOTUS says that charges can’t even be brought unless there is a legal procedure where it’s proved to be not “an official act,” and DoJ has the burden of proof on that.

            That reminds me of that Lewis Black joke where they dig up a dead justice to swear in a dead candidate and it’s just 2 hours of silence on live national television. He joked that if we did that, no terrorist would ever fuck with the US again because they’d be so creeped out.

      There’s a reason conspiracy theories run rampant on the right. These people are so gullible, and a big part of it has to do with the fact that they are far less educated on average. As a result they tend to just follow news they want to believe in as opposed to challenging their own biases.

      It’s a defining feature of conservatism

      Does Lower Cognitive Ability Predict Greater Prejudice?

      [T]here exists a solid empirical paper trail demonstrating that lower cognitive abilities (e.g., abstract-reasoning skills and verbal, nonverbal, and general intelligence) predict greater prejudice. We discuss how the effects of lower cognitive ability on prejudice are explained (i.e., mediated) by greater endorsement of right-wing socially conservative attitude. […]

      Right-wing ideologies offer well-structured and ordered views about society that preserve traditional societal conventions and norms (e.g., Jost, Glaser, Kruglanski, & Sulloway, 2003). Such ideological belief systems are particularly attractive to individuals who are strongly motivated to avoid uncertainty and ambiguity in preference for simplicity and predictability (Jost et al., 2003; Roets & Van Hiel, 2011). Theoretically, individuals with lower mental abilities should be attracted by right-wing social-cultural ideologies because they minimize complexity and increase perceived control (Heaven, Ciarrochi, & Leeson, 2011; Stankov, 2009). Conversely, individuals with greater cognitive skills are better positioned to understand changing and dynamic societal contexts, which should facilitate open-minded, relatively left-leaning attitudes (Deary et al., 2008a; Heaven et al., 2011; McCourt, Bouchard, Lykken, Tellegen, & Keyes, 1999). Lower cognitive abilities therefore draw people to strategies and ideologies that emphasize what is presently known and considered acceptable to make sense and impose order over their environment. Resistance to social change and the preservation of the status quo regarding societal traditions—key principles underpinning right-wing social-cultural ideologies—should be particularly appealing to those wishing to avoid uncertainty and threat.

      Indeed, the empirical literature reveals negative relations between cognitive abilities and right-wing social-cultural attitudes, including right-wing authoritarian (e.g., Keiller, 2010; McCourt et al., 1999), socially conservative (e.g., Stankov, 2009; Van Hiel et al., 2010), and religious attitudes (e.g., Zuckerman, Silberman, & Hall, 2013).

    What you saw were Hollywood style special effects. Had this been a real shooting you would never see trump again, the security team would have been shielding him. They would not have let him have a photo op. Please tell me you are not this stupid…

      Like the could drag his dumpy fat ass off the stage before he’s ready to move while keeping him covered. They did the best they could with a man so driven by theatrics and ego.

      If this was a false flag I doubt the secret service agents would be in on it anyway. Now, I wouldn’t put it past Trump to fake an assassination attempt, but I would be surprised if he pulled one off without any blatant mistakes or leaks. I guess we’ll see, but there isn’t enough public information yet to jump to any conclusions. There are plenty of people with plenty of reasons to want the man dead after all.

He has a history in pro wrestling, hell Linda McMahon worked with him in his cabinet for years, so blood packs are no mystery, and are you going to tell me that a rooftop a mere 400 feet away from him was unmonitored? This is all faker than his tan.”

    I think we should spam his inbox with accusations of false flag operations by the Trump campaign in order to generate sympathy for him in the coming election because he’s afraid of Biden’s polling numbers.

    If it was Biden, he’d send the Navy Seals. Navy Seals wouldn’t have missed.

    Also, SCOTUS says that’s 100% legal.
