    I posted that in context of

    The Biden Harris rhetoric has led to two assassination attempts. Others arrested over the last couple of years for similar threats. It has led to an innocent person being killed. Two attempts on Trumps life because of the lies being said.

    There has been no assassination attempt because of what Trump has said.

    Funny how a lot of the time now spent here is on refuting unverified absolute steaming horsesh!t, plopped here to waste oxygen and nothing more. These posters aren't acting in good faith and would rather if we spent our time calling out their bullsh!t rather than discussing the matters at hand like policy or the fiasco at Arlington or the supposed assassination attempt (that wasn't really one).

    Tldr don't feed the trolls

    "LOOMER IS FINE"

    Do you really believe this????????



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,883 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    Honestly, you shouldn't be taking anything MRC outputs seriously, it's daily mail level "facts" with very little actual facts and really just designed to make conservatives angry at the world.

    They have multiple stories on the pet eating claims with 0 actual facts to back up what trump and vance said but lots of anger about the media pointing out how baseless and stupid it was.

    I'm not surprised the founder dislikes trump as trump makes conservatives look very stupid and dumb undoing the work of MRC.

    Trumps lies about foreigners eating pets have led to bomb threats. You won't acknowledge this. Trump supports just edit that out of reality so they can be offended.

    Just on the stuff about Tony West.

    Those are more online only allegations from MAGA types , even the likes of Fox and NewMax won't touch them because they are a complete fabrication.

    They are not True, at all.

    You really need to think a bit more deeply before sharing random nonsense from the Internet.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,883 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    Each argument is systematically torn apart in multiple different ways, only the most die-hard maga loons would take it seriously and they're already lost to the world.

    He was shot and killed because he pointed a revolver at FBI agents. He very much so was a credible danger and threatened both Bragg and the sitting president. He referred to an AR-15 as his "Democrat eradicator". Quote from truth social below but apparently not motivated by Trump etc. But you're downplaying it? Irony strikes again!

    Heading to New York to fulfill my dream of iradicating [sic] another of George Soros two-but [sic] political hach [sic] DAs. I'll be waiting in the courthouse parking garage with my suppressed Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm to smoke a radical fool prosecutor that should never have been elected. I want to stand over Bragg and put a nice hole in his forehead with my 9mm and watch him twitch as a drop of blood oozes from the hole as his life ebbs away to hell!!

    BYE, BYE, TO ANOTHER CORRUPT BASTARD!!!

    You asked for a threat to the president, I picked a MAGA Trumper who threatened the president, opening paragraph:

    According to FBI documents, the man had threatened to kill the president and other government officials, most of whom he apparently believed to be mistreating former President Donald Trump.

    Do you withdraw your claim now that one person threatening Biden/Harris has been supplied? Or was that just hot air?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭Redliketoast


    Again no it was debunked. You are doing it again. This is not about ambiguous language. This is about misreporting and lies.

    Actual quotes:

    "you had some very bad people in that group, but you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides"

    "So you know what, it’s fine. You’re changing history. You’re changing culture. And you had people -- and I’m not talking about the neo-Nazis and the white nationalists -- because they should be condemned totally. But you had many people in that group other than neo-Nazis and white nationalists. Okay? And the press has treated them absolutely unfairly."

    Bloodbath also debunked

    “Biden’s policies will create an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and autoworkers.”

    “If you’re listening, President Xi — and you and I are friends — but he understands the way I deal. Those big monster car manufacturing plants that you’re building in Mexico right now … you’re going to not hire Americans and you’re going to sell the cars to us, no. We’re going to put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line, and you’re not going to be able to sell those cars if I get elected,”

    “Now if I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole — that’s gonna be the least of it,”

    “It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country. That will be the least of it. But they’re not going to sell those cars. They’re building massive factories.”

    Both statements have been deliberately misrepresented. Nowhere does he say there will be violence if he doesnt get re-elected. Nowhere does he say neo nazis are fine people. Its been debunked but people seem to keep repeating it and saying "he is lying". No, you are repeating a lie.

    I watched the press conference from the multiple agencies dealing with it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,808 ✭✭✭✭yourdeadwright


    but there was a refusal to believe he was in total cognitive decline



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,020 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    uh yeah, this is the first I’m hearing of this asspull myself. Desperate breakfasts.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭Redliketoast


    Agreed that he should have handled the whole debate differently. Ben Shapiro made a great point that he literally should have just replied to every answer she gave as "why havent you done it. You are in office right now. Why havent you done it?"

    He needs to stay away from all the baiting and name calling. The pet eating stuff makes great headlines but it is irrelevant and takes away from the issues people actually care about. Illegal immigration is an issue. Kamala was in charge of figuring it out and she didnt do it. Instead now she wants to build a wall……………. In 8 years she will start talking about immigrants eating pets.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,513 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    Because it wasn't particularly concerning until the debate. Also those people frequently claimed he is senile which there is feck all proof for.

    Also he'd explicitly made targets of people like Bragg who Trump has constantly attacked. Same thing happened with E Jean Carroll etc.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,883 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    I dunno, his interactions since the debate have been fine, putin name calling aside, I said it was a bridge too far for Joe after the debate but total cognitive decline is really over-egging it. He doesn't look good beside someone like trump who babbles incoherently but appears to be active, so the game was up.

    trumps issue is that everything levelled at biden (being slow, senile, unable to handle stairs) now applies to him without any counter.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,020 ✭✭✭✭Overheal


    is it a tactic to make hyperbolic claims without supplying any evidence for them?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,321 ✭✭✭✭King Mob


    Sorry, but to most it is kind of a big deal that a presidential candidate lied and made a racist claim.

    That lie has resulted in bomb threats.

    It's very relevant. You guys seem very very desperate to avoid the issue.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,513 ✭✭✭eightieschewbaccy


    In fairness, he still claims the pet kidnappers are a thing...



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭Redliketoast


    Harris - If Trump gets elected he will bring in a national abortion ban

    Factcheck - He has never said that and has denied he would do it

    Harris - If Trump gets elected he will bring project 2025

    Factcheck - He has never said that and has denied he would do it

    Harris - If Trump gets elected he will bring project 2025

    Factcheck - He literally just denied it again

    Project 2025 was written by people who work in politics who want to keep working in politics. They worked for him because they work in politics. When he is no longer here they will still want to work in politics.

    Project 2025 is a paper. A very long boring paper that most who talk about it havent read a single work in it. It was commissioned by some org associated with the reps. The do fund raising and I cant think if their name right now. Could google it but not going to as it doenst matter. The idea was that the rep party needed to start planning for the future. It was lacking direction and there was (still is) huge division in the party.

    It was a list of suggestions on what the government should do once they are elected. Some of it contains stuff that both dems and reps would actually do anyway. Some of it contains stuff that moreso reps would do. Some of it contains stuff that Trump would do. Then most of it is ideas on what things could be implemented. Some of them are probably ok ideas. Such as reducing the amount of red tape on new businesses etc. Other things would be extreme stuff like getting rid of government oversight on schools. But by in large this is just a book of ideas. Thats all. It was not commissioned by Trump. I believe him when he said he didnt read it and doesnt want to. It is over 900 pages. Does anyone think Trump listens to anyone (not saying its a good thing). Why would he read a 900 page book on someone elses ideas?

    Way more than several people involved, worked for Trump. But as I said, these are career people who would be working for Haley if it was her in charge. They would be working for whoever is in charge because its not loyalty and closeness to Trump. It is their jobs.

    When Harris said he fully backs project 2025 even though he denied it. That is a lie

    When Harris said he supports a national abortion ban even though he denied it. That is a lie

    When she mentioned the misquotes on "Very fine people" and "Bloodbath" they were lies.

    Maybe you need to start taking your own advice on learning the what Lie means

    He also denied raw dogging a pawn star?

    You seem to think anything Trump says is a fact.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭Redliketoast


    See more stuff which has been debunked.

    The bomb threats came from abroad. They were not made in America so why would they be influenced by what Trump said?

    The only thing being avoided here is the fact that Biden/Harris rubbish has killed someone and resulted in two assassination attempts on Trump



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 85,020 ✭✭✭✭Overheal




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭Redliketoast


    Firstly who cares what he did with a porn star?

    Secondly, you can only take what people say as fact.

    Harris - "Trump wants to bring in a national abortion plan"

    Trump - "No I dont"

    So your logic is what she is saying has a higher chance of being true despite her needing to read his mind to determine that he is lying.

    How about the fact that many claim Harris back sex change ops for illegal immigrants caught at the border.

    Harris says she doesnt.


    So do we believe her or are we not believing her because she has claimed to be in favour of it in the past?

    When it comes to what a person will or wont do, what they say is the primary source. What THEY say is the ONLY credible intel.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,695 ✭✭✭✭duploelabs


    When you talk bollix without citation, means it can be dismissed as bollocks, even if you used the term 'fact check' doesnt mean it's fact checked



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,554 ✭✭✭✭Boggles


    Slow down. We will get there.

    Trump denied he raw dogged a porn star.

    So following your logic, he never did and that is a fact.

    Can you even see the penny?

    It's interesting to watch the acceleration of the "centrist poster evolution" in these threads lately.

    A few months ago we'd get a new "centrist" poster who would opine about how "both sides were bad" and how balance was needed and so on.

    They would usually take a few weeks and a couple of dozen posts to devolve into full on MAGA Trumpers.

    Now though , the "Centrists" are barely lasting the day before their MAGA alter ego takes over.

    With only 6/7 weeks left to the Election , I guess they don't have time to bed down the centrist street cred before the shift to full throated MAGA.

    Saves us time I guess , but unsure why they still bother with the flaccid initial attempts at "common sense" neutrality anymore.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 554 ✭✭✭Redliketoast


    You mean the guy who was a far left Green party member? see how that works?

    Biden/Harris has gotten someone killed mate. Two assassination attempts in a few weeks.

    What did Trump say about Pelosi's husband to get him attacked? Because Biden/Harris has said that Trump is a threat to the nation. Thats what got him shot.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,107 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    We don't need to avoid anything when you are just making stuff up, or dumping MAGA claims here without scrutiny.
    It doesn't even reach the level of requiring debunking. It is nonsense from start to finish.
    It is just flooding the space with fake news - a declared tactic of MAGA Republicans - something you are doing to this thread, rapidly flooding it with fake news and faux concerns, hunting for the slightest mud to sling at Democrats while giving a free pass to the objectively well documented transgressions of Republicans.

    Evidence provided to support your wild claims… zero.
    Evidence provided that "Biden\Harris rubbish" has killed someone… zero.
    Evidence provided that it resulted in the two assassination attempts… zero.

    Incredible in the same post you are posting on an Irish message board about why would any one be influenced by what Trump said… as you verbatim dump MAGA propaganda on the thread and go to bat for Republicans against Democrats.
    Read that back to yourself.
    You're not fooling anyone.

    If you have any credible coherent argument, you wouldn't have to resort to this nonsense.

    Are you trying to out beat Trump's record to see who can dump more pro-Republican anti-Democrat fake news in a short space of time?
    He was tracked at 4 lies a minute in one debate.
