    If you consider flight line a Fobbit.
    I was not an officer, so I was not a POG,
    but we all know that the Air Force is where the smart folks go, so I guess I was for sure not a grunt as you refer to others as.

    Do we even know the politics of the person that attempted to assassinate former (and future) President Trump?

    I would expect that the person was a far left ANTIFA type because they tend to want anarchy and dislike the former President.

    However - so far there is no real evidence of that.

    In fact, if anything - this appears to be another situation where a mentally unstable person had easy access to guns and used them to kill one person and almost kill another.

    I get trying to get the narrative out there - but it seems premature at this point.

    Enlisted people can be pogs?

    All it means is "personnel other than grunt". So if you weren't in a direct combat mos, that would apply.


    Also, I didn't join the military thinking of it as a career trainer. I expected the gi bill after my service to be my career trainer. There is no enlisted mos in the military equivalent in terms of training that of a bachelors in mechanical engineering.


    Anyways I'm just pointing out to you if you want to call people soft, you need to understand you are throwing rocks from a glass house.

    You didn't pick o the term "woke" from watching mainstream cable news. Sure those institutions occasionally use the term but they use it in reference to discussing the online social media bubble created for young frustrated males who are spammed 20 videos a day on why the new Disney stat wars show is woke propaganda.

    I went to U of H in the evenings at the Hilton School of Hotel and Restaurant Management while finishing my hitch at Ellington, also on the GI bill.

    I do believe that posting is not the same as a face-to-face conversation. And if certain segments on this board do not see things as I do, it's all good.

    At least I'm honest about my feelings and would never back down to anyone wanting to have a respectful salon, but debasing others, wishing for injury on a former president. Thats when I will jump in the mud.

    Like I was told before by a very wise man, "Don't start nothin, won't be nothin".

    I'm not the one who used the term "Butt Buddy" all while pretending to be a fighter of injustice.
    DEE DAKOTA did.

    What's interesting is that everyone of course rushes to see which 'side' the shooter was on, and of course Republican politicians and right wing grifters with X and youtube followers jumped on the chance to try and throw more gas on the fire, but the reality may be simply the thing they don't like to talk about:


    An unstable person with easy access to a dangerous weapon in a country where there's enough guns for every man, woman, child and dog several times over.

    all we know is he once donated $15 to ActBlue, but then later registered as a republican and voted in the 2022 midterms…he was also wearing a Demolition “I post pics of thin blue line flags and follow all the conservative grifters on social media” Ranch shirt, and a classmate of his said during an interview yesterday that he was definitely a conservative

    that’s the information that’s out there at this moment in time

    Right.

    So why are so many just assuming that it is a purple haired ANTIFA member that listens to Rachel Maddow is the shooter and the media and Democrats are responsible for Trump being shot?

    It is POSSIBLE that is the case, but so far - after over 24 hours time - there is very little evidence of that being the case.

    Just my opinion, but I think that if Biden was speaking Saturday this would have been attempted on him. It would have never got to this point because SS's perimeter is probably much wider that the one that was in place for Trump.

    But this was a local dude with a gun, an opportunity, and mental issues.
    This is not a Republican or Democrat specified target.
    But this WILL be a rally cry for the Trump folks. Trump is now Chuck Norris and they perceive Biden as an empty vessel

    that’s just the typical right wing spin and deflection…don’t forget that Jan 6th was Antifa, every Nazi demonstration is the FBI, the man who attacked Pelosi was left wing because he lived in San Francisco and sold hemp seed oil 11 years prior, etc

    They need to ban trying to assassinate presidential candidates..... This could prevent all future attempts...

    It is illegal to try and assassinate a former President.

    That fella in Pennsylvania found that out the hard way.

    Now - we can discuss whether the SS or local police were negligent, and likely can even have a full blow investigation of it.... that is a different issue.

    still TBD

    I don’t discount that Trump could’ve been simply a case of opportunity…not like he had to travel far to get to him

    maybe he was mentally ill and filled with anger and decided to go out in a blaze by killing a former president…maybe he thought he could incite the Civil War many people dream about…who knows

    we just had that one dude from Arizona arrested 2 or 3 weeks ago because he was planning to shoot up a concert in Georgia and wanted to start a race war

    the people who do stuff like this aren’t rational

    You got it - I would add in that there is a lot of fighting over who is at fault for the assassination attempt.... the Democrats or was it someone with mental illness or some far right extremist.

    You would think there would be some discussion of gun control, but I digress.

    Regardless, this is without question the absolute worst I have seen politically in my life time...... look no further than the candidates, Weekend and Bernie's and The Convicted Felon.
