In respect to military capability Polands Army is a very different beast from Ukraine. Russia understands this, fighting on two fronts will be extremely difficult if the Russians decided to invade Poland. Poland reservists are already well trained and equipped, their roles and deployments already established.
We didn’t make Boris or Liz prime ministers – that was all solely down to the Tory party’s internal system…I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t have made it if a public vote had been taken
Are we ignoring 2019 General Election then?
Is it really an attempt if no shots were fired though?
But if it does count, what are the odds on third time lucky?

Yes.

The odds get longer with each attempt because the security gets tighter.
Please let this be the last failed assassination attempt
I mean, what's the chances this is just some pro Trumper sent out to try and wrestle control of the narrative back?
Interesting one this. It's not like the previous where he was at a rally and the shooter had plenty time to prepare and plan.
You've got to wonder how long he'd been in the shrubs waiting for Trump to come by.

Does anyone else think this latest attempt might be fabricated?
Conveniently timed way to attempt to change the narrative about what has been Trumps worst week (so far) of the campaign.
The BBC report suggests the shooter may be a bit of a military fantasist, be interesting what, if anything, comes out in questioning.
If someone doesn’t do a decent job soon I may have to step in…
The wanna-be assassin was quite the nutjob.

The assassination attempt reminds me of the Sean Penn movie The Assassination of Richard Nixon, which was based on a true story about a guy who blames Nixon for his life falling apart so he hatches an insane plot to assassinate him.

Isn’t that what crappy conspiracy theory newspapers would say??
Makes you think.
the first assassination attempt was just cheap amateur dramatics.
That's what THEY want you to think
Edit - realised why.
In all the assassination talk, we've overlooked another legal defeat for Donald

Trump is 'all in' on this election - if he wins he'll have laws changed to wriggle out of his raft of legal problems, or at least the vast majority of them to make it a net personal gain for him, if he loses, he's a busted flush and could quite well end up in an orange suit, or more likely just financially ruined and he'll sulk off into the either....
I put a £20 bet on Harris before all this kicked off, and stand to get a £55 return... current odds are still very close, but are slowly starting to favour Harris as the next prez...
...I'm feeling quietly confident
I don't know how true it is, but it's all over Reddit that this latest 'incident' , the 'would be shooter' voted for Trump in 2016.
That said, reading between the lines, I think this may be less about political affilitation, and more about crazy people with guns...
...It's not like crazy people with guns are a marginal demographic in the USA, never mind in Florida.
Yet 'they' still won't change the gun laws.
Darn it, if only that place had been filled with civilians with guns of their own, they all could have been shootin' and stuff and then that there shooter wouldn't have ever got anywhere.
Apparently he was a member of the Bush family
deserved more recognition, I thought
It's a weird paradox for the republicans though. They still seem all in favour of letting every loony have a gun, they're quite happy to peddle every conspiracy theory going, quite happy to have all the weirdos as their Potus and Veep candidates...And every chance that one of the folks they're encouraging will come and shoot them.
3rd time's the charm they say.
Given I know Poles that would run home to fight “itching” is not a term I would use. Ever.
Yes that was a very poor choice of words by the poster. I suspect they just meant to say that Poland may be confident of their chances if it was to come to that. There's no way they've spent 2 years watching Putin send long range missiles to destroy hospitals, schools, supermarkets and residential buildings and now fancy a bit of that for their own children.

The first one seems to be a classic school shooter who deviated by deciding to try and kill a celebrity instead with Trump being chosen because he happened to be nearby (by US standards).
This one seems more politically motivated though with a bit of nuttery thrown in.
That’s what THEY want you to think
But, but...who are THEY? And are THEY the reason still, to his very moment, I have no idea what people mean when they talk about the 'trails behind Nationwide'??? <insert worried emoji cos THEY (????) won't let us have any proper ones to use>
if he loses, he’s a busted flush and could quite well end up in an orange suit
On the plus side, it'll match his skin.

Those of us in the know got to read an excellent article about the trails behind Nationwide in a well known underground magazine a couple of months ago...

Yup, his social media's been pretty extensively screencapped and circulated, there's a lot of corroborating "I voted for you and you have let me down" stuff, and a theme of being radicalised by Russia/Ukraine. They're making a lot of his conversion to the democrats but he was pushed there by Trump.
What i find amazing is that there are literally tens of millions of gun owners in the UK, yet none of them appear to be able to hit a target.
I'd rather he lives to lose the election and end up in jail tbh..
Quite a few in the US too…
?
147000 firearms certificates as of March 2023, and just over half a million shotgun certificates in the UK.
Obvious typo is obvious.
He seems quite the target. A couple of votes the wrong way in Pennsylvania , another slightly more accurate nutter with a gun and it will be President Vance. Now there’s a thought…

With the first one, it’s only the fact that Diaper Don turned his head saved him from having the back of his skull blown off!
As for Vance, if circumstances meant he became the Repugnicants candidate for President, even the real committed GOP members seem to be willing to vote against him - Donny has something that seems to appeal to the average GOP voter, Vance just doesn’t, he can’t open his mouth without sticking his foot in it, he seems to have had a character bypass operation.
