US Politics Thread

What is going on with this thread? A presidential candidate has survived an assassination attempt and posters start arguing? This is a significant event, a rally supporter was killed and so was the gunman, it is disappointing that a more concerned sympathetic approach has not been adapted on this forum, no matter what you think of Trump.
 
I had a sort of conversation (about the NY Mets!) with a bloke today that was like talking to a loudspeaker mounted on a brick wall. I went back to my book after a few minutes.

You got a good book?
I have been meaning to read Sapolksy’s new book about life without free will. ;-)
 
Don't know it but (this is true) yesterday I re-read Erasmus's exchange of letters with Martin Luther on that very subject.

I have repeatedly denounced political violence and have said I would never want Trump to be harmed as I am a pacifist, a humanist, it is not justice, and would only empower him and his dangerous ideology, anyway.

I personally haven’t really commented on the incident because details are light at best at the moment and I am waiting for more verified information before forming an actual position beyond the fact that I am glad Trump was not seriously injured.
 
Dodged a bullet, he was defiant as he got ushered away wasn't he? Showed strength
Showed strength?

He was screaming "Fight, Fight, Fight..." whilst surrounded by Secret Service. He is an absolute fucking lunatic, and a bully and a coward. He's the reason for all this violence in the first place. Same happened on Jan 6th when the fat orange **** stirred up the crowds in DC. People died because Trump is fucking deranged.

I think Sapolsky actually devotes a chapter to those letters, funny enough!

I often think about politics in this context, actually.

Really? What was the Mets conversation about? While they are ins wild card spot I would hope they would be sellers coming up to the trade deadline. They would get mullered in a series against a good team. They should add pieces for the future.

As for Trump, if indeed you think he is on par with Hitler and if you think should he win this would be the last democratic election for a while, then the gun persons ( see what I did there) actions are totally justified and you support what they did, then come right out and say it. That’s all.

The merits of Mookie Wilson v Lenny Dykstra.

Trump's not on a par with Hitler. Not even with Putin. Victor Orban more like. I want him defeated, not assassinated, but he's reaped what he sowed. So, yes, I will be honest and say I'm sorry this near-martyrdom all but guarantees his election in November. Only then will we see how close he gets to Putin.

He was giving it the 'big I am" when he was surrounded by Secret Service, but let's see what happens in the cold light of day when the adrenalin wears off.

No okie was the better ball player. Dykstra hit a few home runs then he went home run crazy- not his game. Dykstra has proven he is a nut job and Mookie the polar opposite. Mookie is a total gentleman…
