The Epstein document in question seems to be something in 2016, just around the election.

Trump's accuser had been expected to appear at a news conference in early November 2016, but her attorney, Lis Bloom, said she had received threats and was too afraid to show up. Doe's attorney, Thomas Meagher, then filed a notice to dismiss the case, without providing an explanation. The woman hasn't been heard from since.

Previously, there was also his answer in his Fox News interview whether he would declassify the Epstein Files, to which he was suspiciously apprehensive about doing so, claiming it would harm other people. (and perhaps maybe himself?)

It should be pointed out that this video is almost 2 years old

As an outsider (see non-american), I would chose to vote for Biden, mainly because Trump is the only other option, unless I learn about a third party candidate.

Why? I don't think I could stomach more of that so called "God Emperor".

I just realised that this will most likely be the first election since 1956 which is a rematch of two previous candidates.
Eisenhower beat Stevenson II for the second time that year.

I think it's a bad sign that the only major member of the New Popular Front that doesn't have a stupid opinion on nuclear power, the source of 70% of France's electricity, is the fucking Communist Party.

And also would share being two non consecutive terms with another child predator

So did you
now go away glowie

Donald Trump has been shot.

Never thought I'd live to see an assassination attempt

Apparently someone attempted to assassinate Trump during a rally.

No joke, this is quite possibly one of the singular worst things that could've happened if you're on the left. A second term of Trump is now a very real possibility.

oh my god, Poochy why

If they didn’t succeed that is

He lived though. It's not funny if they live.

ruh roh

Here is the video of the shooting

And here is the aftermath

Holy shit the poochyena impersonator actually shot and maybe killed Trump didnt think it would actually happen….

Hope the mods dont get called by the secret service now

Well Trump just won the election because some dumbass wanted to kill him.

I mean I've been prepared that there's a good chance for that since biden refused to step down after his term

The link in this comment isnt taking me anywhere

If you are expecting me to be glad Trump survived and some other innocent guy died instead of that bozo you are SO wrong

If someone had to die it should had been Trump, like maybe I would have a "well at least nobody died! This is…. good?" But no! Just nobody """important"""" died just a bunch of "peasants" so this is a good thing right? Right!!!!???? Nah m8 NAH

Thie media is going to be like that onion video but if Beyonce was a serial pedophile rapist and nazi as well, which is kind of disgusting if you think about it

If some guy got shot by a killer trying to kill North Korea leader Kin Jong Un I would NOT be happy that guy died instead of Kim Jong Un just cause Kim is way more "superior" and "important" than some "random nonfamous peasant"!!!

also… ALSO fuck Donald Trump!!

>We can't elect Trump because hes a threat to our democracy
>Damn I wish the shooter didn't miss

LMAO if this is you, you have zero moral high ground to stand on anymore. I use to think this was the last sane place on the internet but I can't believe how many of jack asses on here unironically screech "Trump Nazi " yammer on and care so much about this country never becoming a fascist state. Then get mad that a political candidate didn't get assassinated.

Insanity.

"NOOOO YOU CAN'T SAY KILLING HITLER WOULD HAVE BEEEN GOOD THAT'S LITTTTTTTERRRRALLLY JUST AS BAD AS NAZIS!!1!1"
kindly leave your liberal hand wringing on reddit

Already a fucking wojak of the event, i guess it has to be called "riflejak"…

If we're really gonna have a wojak can we at least have a Charles Guiteau wojak instead

Good thing the shooter had bad aim and/or Trump had plot armor, or shit would've hit the fan faster than you can say "Archduke". Bad thing that people still died, or that someone even tried this shit in the first place.

a failed assassination attempt on trump is probably the singular worst thing that could've happened so lmao of course it happened.

here's hoping the shooter was some completely off the deep end white schizo trying to take him out from the right. military fatigues are a good sign, at least.

Some of the rallygoers blamed the media for causing the assassination attempt.

CNN news clip

Another clip

I…I don't understand their logic at all.

I just realized yesterday, Marvel put out a trailer for Captain America Brave New World and said trailer featured an assassination attempt on Ross, who happens to be running for president…

I wouldn't be surprised if the spammer gets a visit from the FBI tonight.

I was thinking the same thing

Dont get me wrong (while I can pretend otherwise to piss certain people off) I would NOT be happy if Donald Trump got shot cause like yeah that isnt what democracy is about and its morally wrong to go around killing other candidates to ensure your party stays in power.

I just genuinely wouldnt give a fuck either, 0 fucking emotion is what I would have.

"well that is a pretty scummy way to solve problems we are still in a democracy guys….oh well whatever at least its over….RIP bozo"

But yeah I dont actually approve of this shooting obviously, but I also refuse to give too much of a fuck at this point…or be people's "good little sheep": Trump is at the very least a pedophile rapist

I HATE LIVING IN A DECADE OF HISTORY THAT WILL REQUIRE SEVERAL IN DEPTH CHAPTERS IN HISTORY BOOKS!

I HATE LIVING IN A DECADE OF HISTORY THAT WILL REQUIRE SEVERAL IN DEPTH CHAPTERS IN HISTORY BOOKS!

I HATE LIVING IN A DECADE OF HISTORY THAT WILL REQUIRE SEVERAL IN DEPTH CHAPTERS IN HISTORY BOOKS!

Ehem….

But more seriously, the next couple months are gonna get fucking rough. Now that Extreme MAGA members like those that raided the capital have what they will see as a casus belli, we are gonna see so much fucking political violence over the next couple months

I would normally say this guarantees trump the whitehouse, but given how insane some of the far right people are gonna get and how much shits probably going to go down, if Biden somehow survives to November there will probably have been several attempts on him too as well.

Well shit was going to get ugly one way or another so I aint even stressing about it too much….it was gonna be either an orderly nightmare or a chaotic nightmare either way assuming Trump was guaranteed to win before all this bullshit… which seemed likely anyway

All that changed is that its gonna be a slightly worse chaotic hellscape rather than an orderly dystopian hellscape….oh well

We been in the worst timeline for several months now and there really isnt shit I can do about it so I am just here for the dark ride.

My life is shit so its not like I have all that much to loose anyway lmao.

I need to make it clear that while I for example think Batman is a pussy for not killing the Joker, NOBODY and I mean NOBODY is justified in killing ANYONE right now…yet

Have some honor people…at least try winning the "game" of democracy instead of just killing your fucking opponents and then claiming you won fair and square.

I think almost anything can go when it comes to politics….but certainly not THAT, have SOME honor and class people!

I mean I hoping that Trump supporters do something stupid but I also kind of want people to stop killing each other….especially this early

I mean I would want Trump to die but I dont want him to get murdered its a matter of honor and democracy

Please wait till AFTER the elections are over before we start killing each other like animals. Violence is often unavoidable but lets have some class ok? ok

Because the magats don’t have logic

OH MY GOD, THE SHOOTER WAS A REGISTERED REPUBLICAN WEARING A GUN CLUB SHIRT WITH A SHITTY MULLET

He was probably a groyper who thought trump was controlled by the jews or some shit!

That's fucking hilarious! Too bad even if he's actually, like, a raging right wing nut job the rights gonna treat it like he's a far left plant, but seriously, hilarious

Trump rally shooter ID’ed as Thomas Matthew Crooks by FBI

The shooter at former President Donald Trump’s rally has been identified by the FBI as Thomas Matthew Crooks, a 20-year-old from Pennsylvania.

[…]

Crooks was a resident of Bethel Park, a village about 55 miles south of the shooting scene in Butler.

He was registered to vote as a Republican. But records show that his one known political donation, for $15 in 2021, was to Act Blue, a group that supports Democratic candidates.

@VeteranAdventureHobo: That single political donation he made is going to be focused on to tie him to the left.

That's true, but the simple fact is that there are insane republicans that somehow like the democrats more because they think they are anti Jewish. You know like how Jeremy Corbyn got labeled as antisemetic while absolutely not being so? That kind of rhetoric means truly insane antisemites can trick themselves into supporting democrats as crazy as that is.

His political donation was made on 1/20/21, a few weeks after Jan 6th, so I can see a possibility he's a Never Trumper who was horrified by what happened on that day.

WaterFilterMerchant pointed out the donation came from a different city, so either the guy moved at 18 or its a different person. I'm gonna assume he moved, but if it was a different person this is some wild shit

According to Wikipeida for Bethel Park

It is a suburb within the Pittsburgh metropolitan area, located approximately 7 miles (11 km) south of Pittsburgh.

The proximity between the two cities may explain the confusion, but maybe we need to wait a few more days for clarification on the discrepancy.

Thing is, in order to donate to ActBlue, you have to be 18 according to their site. Thomas Matthew Crooks would've been 17 at the time of donation.

It should also be noted that the campaign contribution form lists "Thomas Crooks" as the donor name, not "Thomas Matthew Crooks", so it is plausible that it wasn't him, though it would be the most contrived of coincidences if so.

I just remembered Trump was supposed to be sentenced on July 11 regarding the Hush Money case until the Supreme Court got involved. Had he been sentenced, he might have been at the very least under house arrest and would not have been easily able to hold rallies.

Alleged timeline paints the trump shooter as someone who was left wing shift to the right

January 2021 – 17 years old
• donated to a progressive PAC

October 2021 – 18
• registered as Republican

November 2022 – 19
• voted as Republican

July 2024 – 20
• tried to kill Trump, while wearing a right-wing gun YouTuber's T-shirt

Do you not realize this has nothing to do with defending Trump his ideas his policy or his actions?

When "The left" for a lack of a better term has been shouting for years that this guy is a fascist Neo Nazi a threat to democracy ect but then turn around and down play and even worse encourage an assassination of a political candidate it makes us look like hypocrite jackasses

The left should be an example of what civilized adults act like not rolling around in the mud lowering ourselves acting like radical brain dead children. His popularity rises because of shit like this.

And what the fuck do you think would be happening right now if it killed him? Like hes the final boss and everyone of his supporters deagro or explode? Really good idea to pick the fight of "Shooting political people we dont like is ok as long as we call them Hitler" with the anti goverment gun loving rebel flag wavers. Real big brain 500 IQ Jimmy Neutron idea.

I feel like im in a fucking mad house right now.

Imagine if Donald Trump while saying over and over he isn't racist, during his Presidency guided the DoJ to ignore complains about racism in his administration, used political interference to stop the complaints, and failure to properly train the staff into how to deal with racist complaints. Imagine if a Trump ally during his stay in office would accuse a Black journalist of being like a KKK member? Imagine if Trump defended an artist who drew a mural of Black people looking like something out of a minstrel show: big red lips, round white eyes, small heads. Asserting then that black people don't understand American comedy. Imagine then that Trump would write a forward in book about Black IQ tests, and how they are naturally guided into crime, poverty, drug abuse and more. Imagine also that amongst Black people themselves, 87% of them find that Trump is in fact racist.

Now that you can imagine that, wouldn't you at least say that Trump saying he is not racist is a little sus?
