tenchiken , in Idaho Law Criminalizes Librarians Who Allow LGBTQ Books to Stay on Their Shelves

Don’t fuck with librarians… They have access to the chemistry books and are friends with the people who know how to use the magics contained within…

Seriously though, if you are on the opposite side from librarians, you’re doing it wrong.

That doesn’t look like her body.

The torso used to be Dr Ruth.

Her head is on a pike in the chambers of horrors.

I guarantee you that MAGA people will claim that he registered as a Republican as part of a big conspiracy that involves Biden personally sending him to kill Trump (which they won’t realize is arguably acceptable unless he is impeached and removed from office according to SCOTUS).

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Already came out that he donated to a liberal group once. They will latch onto that

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

Sure, but even if that didn’t come out, he’d be a secret librul.

avidamoeba ,
@avidamoeba@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah, it doesn’t matter if he donated or not. He’s a deep state operative or RINO, or a secret librul, or you name it.

takeda , (edited )

Yeah, single donation of $15 on January 20th, 2021 for voter turnout PAC.

You don’t think he was one of the Republicans that were outraged after January 6th?

Everything we know about him so far, screams “libertarian”.

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

Dad and sister are registered libertarians. Mom is a registered dem. Take from that what you will. I’m sure we’ll learn more about him in the coming days and weeks.

StoneGender ,

You cant register to vote as a libertarian

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

It’s a party in the USA? You can register to any party lol

Shit, you can put in your own “other” and handwrite in whatever BS you want in PA. I’ve read through voter rolls and people write in shit like “Birthday Party”

NJSpradlin ,

Even that is speculative, from many different commenters. There’s belief that that donation was from someone else with the same name. Take it as you will, but we need to speak less as ‘fact’ right now when the water is this muddy.

jeffw ,
@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

I read the FEC page. Same name, same zip code. Highly unlikely it’s someone else. Kid was 17 at the time and his job was “Not Employed”

NYTimes screenshot of the FEC document:

static01.nyt.com/…/ac182c3a-full.pdf

The donation is almost certainly him

ThomasCrooksIsHero ,

Glad to see he put some thought into it. Maybe he has friends who are better shots.

SeaJ ,

They already latched on to spouting BS that about him attending BLM protests and going all the way cross the country to Seattle to come to CHOP.

So, this is 100% speculative rambling at this point, but as a gut feeling on my part that can be proven wrong: I get the feeling it might have been someone from a Republican family, possibly shitty family psychology-wise, registered as Republican for his families sake but got f’d up by the pressure within his personal relationships and the state of the world, who radicalised himself on the internet.

“Damn Ashley didn’t want to date me after I told her I believed in Trump… I’ll show him”

Something like that?

Cosmicomical , in Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage

Ever noticed that every time the republicans look like they are doomed, immediately something progressively more implausible happens that swings the vote? And that it’s usually fake or blown out of proportion by media? This looks like just the most recent of a long list of ridiculous but effective marketing operations like the pizza gate.

Faresh ,

Were the republicans doomed? It seemed to me republicans were doing very well in the race.

VerdantSporeSeasoning ,

They weren’t wanting to talk about project 2025. Now there’s a different conversation to have, kind of.

Krauerking ,

Yeah but honestly the 2025 conversation really blew up as a result to a reversal from the Biden debate. They probably were just hoping to ignore it.

It’s been a pretty awful dead heat of general undesirables from both parties. It looks like it’s gonna be the hardest devout vs though and see where the center sways…

Objection ,

7 points ahead in PA is not “doomed” lol

I was hoping for a post game interview ngl.

fin , in MEGA THREAD - Trump shot but safe, 2 others killed at PA rally

Only if it was a little bit to the right…

I hope Biden is safe btw, he can be the target of the armored right-winged people

Mediocre_Bard , in Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage

For the people saying that the shoes comment is odd, take moment to do some reading, or watch a video, about how people react to trauma.

Basically, it’s not outrageous that his brain locked on a seemingly unimportant detail. Humans are very weird sometimes.

JasonDJ ,

No.

I don’t care if it was staged or not.

They pull this type of shit all the time. Lie to people, make up shit, stage events, intentionally sow outrage, etc.

As far as I’m concerned, it’s entirely within the realm of possibility, and probably more likely than somebody actually taking a shot at him.

I’m Just Asking Questions!

  • tillary , in Trump rally shooter identified as 20-year-old Pennsylvania man

    Feel like I’m gonna be posting this a lot today. Pennsylvania uses a closed party primary voting system. If you’re a liberal voting in the primaries, it made the most sense to register Republican in Pennsylvania to vote for someone like Nikki Haley if you despise Trump. Don’t want to say this is what happened, just that we shouldn’t jump to false flag conspiracy conclusions right now.

    jeffw , (edited )
    @jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

    I remember canvassing for Bernie back in 2016 and I knocked on a few doors of people who said “oh sorry, I switched to Republican to try to block Trump”. This is completely anecdotal evidence but it does happen. It’s rare though.

    Edit: did a touch of cyber stalking… dad is a registered libertarian, mom is a democrat

    tillary ,

    Yeah, just one of those stupid games we have to play until we get with the times and implement a ranked choice voting system…

    mctoasterson ,

    This is the right answer. It is entirely possible and feasible to register as a party you don’t agree with for strategic reasons such as voting in primaries for important state offices etc. Millions of people do this across various states.

    kescusay ,
    @kescusay@lemmy.world avatar

    This is important to know, but at the same time, the majority of registered members in both parties in Pennsylvania voted for the front-runner, and given his youth (20), the primary was his first election involving presidential candidates.

    We need to wait until the facts about him come out. Very little is currently known beyond the party registration and the YouTube gun channel.

    praise_idleness ,

    TIL…

    takeda ,

    He appears to be more of a libertarian.

    JeSuisUnHombre ,

    Sauce?

    Kit ,

    He was wearing a t-shirt of a far-right militia group and owned an AR rifle. Does that sound like a Democrat?

    Sir_Kevin ,
    @Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Demolition Ranch doesn’t really mention their politics. And there are plenty of Democrats that like guns.

    far-right militia group

    LMFAO! Somehow every word in that phrase is wrong.

    I vote straight D, and among a shitload of other guns, I have an AR-15. Now what?

    Source?

    Last I heard it was a completely apolitical YouTube channel merch

    And just because he was registered as Republican, doesn’t mean he was necessarily a Trump supporter. After all, those Lincoln Project guys had to come from somewhere.

    EnderWiggin ,

    He was registered back in 2021. Not sure this has much bearing on the 2024 primaries. He could have been a right leaning person who didn’t like Trump. Those people exist. Basically, most libertarians.

    Dran_Arcana ,

    Those people exist

    can confirm; am a small government fiscal conservative who thinks gays are people.

    EnderWiggin ,

    Hey you. I like you.

    Interesting, I didn’t know there were so many assassination attempts in the past.

    Sam_Bass , in Gunshots reportedly fired at Donald Trump rally - as former president rushed off stage

    And the repugs are already blaming biden lol.

    UltraGiGaGigantic ,

    Why would it even matter? Wouldn’t this have been an official act?

    How will we unite to solve our problems now?

    Divided and conquered.

    Sam_Bass ,

    Ask your repug saviours. They always look for reasons to blame dems for shit they bring on themselves

    oyo , in 18-year-old charged with violating mask law: ‘I didn’t even know it was a law. Nobody knew it was a law’.

    Ignorance of the law is no excuse. Unless you’re rich; then you have to also have intent to break the law.

    Unless you’re rich enough to bribe the DA.

    werefreeatlast , in Fitness guru Richard Simmons has died

    Anyway, this presents a good set of questions:

    1. if trump and Biden are basically 80, and both don’t look like they do much to stay in shape, specially trump, then does excessive exercise actually help?
    2. Is working even worth it? You’ll be retiring at 64 and passing at 76 so 12 years??? Really? And every asshole with a scam idea is after your money 🤑!
