This time next year, President Trump moves back into the Whitehouse...

Reading some of the commentary and points made regards mass manipulation reminds me to try and get hold of the Foundation series that went missing when I moved. The mule character has many similarities to one of the USA protagonists.

I have absolutely no idea what you said.

Any clues?

Ah yes, Asimov's Foundation, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation...

Does that help?

Isaac Asimov was a science fiction author and scientist (or maybe a scientist and science fiction author, depending which you think is more important.
He wrote a famous series of novels set in the future, commonly referred to as the Foundation series. It even has its own Wikipedia page:

Well, that looks close.

[Nobby]

Are both sides ready to bring up their Reserves ?

Just seen that photo on the news. That's the money shot.

"Secret Service agents have rushed former President Donald Trump off stage after what sounded like gunshots rang out at a rally in Pennsylvania...
"The White House said President Biden, who is in his home state of Delaware..."

Getting his alibi in early, I see.

[ZRX61]

From the sounds & Trumps reaction it looked like it was the first shot that hit his ear. Someone behind was hit.

[ZRX61]

CNN is reporting there were "loud bangs" .... gee, I wonder what the fuck they're trying not to say?

[ZRX61]

Shooter is dead & one other.

What worries me more is this charade is too obvious now but the shadowy administration-behind-the-scenes do not appear to be really doing anything except propping up Bidens corpse. This is a group of massively wealthy people, keen to carry on going until they own everything. I don't believe for one minute they don't have a contingencyplan. Trump is going to walk this election by a mile. They can't use the same tactics last time to cheat the election. I fear something darker.

Oh well, looks like they ran out of options... Who'd a thunk it?

They seem to get away with murdering their own presidents every once in a while too. In a way, I'm surprised they didn't just shoot Trump and be done with it.

Omg you're a conspiracy nutjob <blah blah>

Assassination attempt #1.

"Oh, err, yeah but we knew they'd probably shoot him just in case".

[Screwdriver]

No, the sad part is that all of these problems are allowed to fester and develop because of people like you.

You're obsessed by this, desperate to be 'right', and a bit nasty about it.

Biden's not fit to be president, this is really obvious, the rest is conjecture.

No but I am insulted by people like you who have nothing positive to add to any debate, no counterpoint to any of my observations except personal insults. Here's one you made earlier after I suggested a weak presidency might allow Russia to invade Ukraine 10 months before they actually did.

I thought it would be China first, going after Taiwan now the west no longer has a strong President in the US.

But it seems Russia will be making the first move.

America is now run by a shady backroom cabal of big tech, global corporations and (one assumes) the Obama/Clinton shadow cabinet. All they are interested in is helping themselves to truck loads of money and imposing their fantasy version of social morality. There is no world order any more. America is weak.

For anyone still wondering why the US so called election matters to us here, this is why...

No offence, but this is childish. The US has a new president, get over it.

Russia thinks it can start invading countries because yay the great military mastermind Trump is out the way? Yeah I've been so worried about that too.

So if you want to backpedal and suggest you knew all along, you'll have to ask Weeksy really nicely if he would delete all the crap you've been throwing at me. I don't care whether or not I am right, I just don't like being told everything I say is conspiracy bollocks. I actually spend a LOT more time considering the political situation than is probably healthy.

Now even a blind squirrel sometimes finds a nut but my record on the veracity of so called "conspiracy theories" is starting to look somewhat prescient.

[ZRX61]

I bet Biden is really happy with his new-found immunity after he called for a bullseye on Trump just 5 days ago... Pretty sure Jan 6th pales into insignificance compared to calling for a hit on his political rival.

I honestly thought that read "someone behind was shit' (as in a shit shot!)

Ummmm - people on here have been mentioning the possibility/probability of Trump being taken out since he first got in!!

[demographic]

Damn, mebbe we should have all chipped a tenner each instead of a fiver into the kitty.

[DefTrap]

but my record on the veracity of so called "conspiracy theories" is starting to look somewhat prescient.

You trawled back through time to quote me on the Ukraine invasion but were too busy 'winning' to understand the key point, that this had anything to do with the absence of your one-time-hero Trump.
And still no proof for your ramblings about who is controlling Biden and increasingly wild conjecture about what the end game might be.

If this is what prescience is, I'm glad I haven't been diagnosed with it.

I have to say I preferred your shed based content.

[Mr. Dazzle]

Ummmm - people on here have been mentioning the possibility/probability of Trump being taken out since he first got in!!

The US also has a long and unfortunate history of senior politicians and political figures in general getting shot

But then again, the big grand daddy conspiracy theory of them all revolves around that.

[Mussels]

False flag operation? As long as he can keep his mouth shut Trump's campaign just keeps getting better.

I don't know the timings but the police were told about the gunman before shots were fired.

I know nothing about shooting accuracy, but to trim an ear that accurately from 120m?

Well, since everyone is, and has been, making predictions, a question. How long before this becomes an iconic campaign image?

LOL. And you call me a conspiracy theorist...

Still, I am willing to bet that unthinking nonsense will of course be promoted by the mainstream media and all over social media. Had the political implications been reversed, such conjecture would be censored into oblivion.

Because "orange man bad" it will I am sure it will instead be amplified as if it was an equally likely scenario.
