The guy that made the assassination attempt on Trump was a registered Republican and a good reason to increase spending on mental health. The forever wars? You mean the ones started by George Dubbya Bush, with no real definition of victory? Any war against a Muslim extremist faction or an Arab country is going to be a 'forecer war', just ask Israel. The extremists know that all they have to do is outlast the support of an ADHD American popilus. Once coffins of American troops start arriving at Dover, American support starts dwindling. To be fair, our goals in Afghanistan shifted time and again, but that war was lost by Trump. Trump negotiated the end of the war, but not while he was in charge to actually oversee it, and of course he didn't leave an instruction manual for Biden on how US withdrawal should go. But sure, let's talk about bribes. The last two Republican presidents both issues stimulus checks to the American people and cut taxes for the ultra wealthy. That seems like more of a direct bribe than Obama or Biden trying to fix stuff. Oh, and why did the Republican presidents have to issue stimulus checks? Mostly cuz they screwed up the economy really bad. I don't see current inflation as a direct result to anything Biden has done and honestly, Congress hasn't done much at all this term. Inflation since Biden took office has been the natural result of coming out of the pandemic, along with corporate greed and wars we really have nothing to do with. Even if you don't believe in climate change, the security risks that Russian and OPEC pose to the American way of life should be enough reason to look into renewable energy sources. Obama never started a war. Neither has Biden, yet. Trump didn't either, though we were always worried. The last wars were started by Dubbya, a Republican. Granted, this was in response to 9/11, so something had to get blowed up good, but the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan lasted far too long and I'm not sure how much of a victory we can really claim in either. But the intent of this thread wasn't partisan at all. I really don't think an assassination attempt on a former US president should be allowed. The Secret Service fucked up and a Congressional committee should be formed to find out how that happened. But since the Republicans have majority in the House and Trump was the intended victim, it leads me to believe that Trump himself doesn't want answers, or already has them and knows making them public would make him look bad. I seem to recall President Clinton bombing Iraq after Saddam tried something on George HW Bush. Of course, I'm not suggesting Trump was the mastermind of some evil plot to boost his poll numbers with the assassination attempt. It's far more likely that the campaign moved equipment at the venue last minute, without giving the Secret Service enough warning. Aside from the actual shooting, what I find most absurd is that Trump took his shoes off for the rally. I kinda doubt that's something Nikki Haley or Kamala Harris ever did. Maybe after he loses the election, Trump can start an onlyfans for his feet. Lots of money in that, I hear.
