Trump: "(Would-be shooter) believed the rhetoric..."

Meridith McGraw @meridithmcgraw 2h
Trump to Fox News @BrookeSingman: "He believed the rhetoric of Biden & Harris, and he acted on it...Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at, when I am the one who is going to save the country, and they are the ones that are destroying the country"

Hypocrisy for them is sustenance. Same with their lies.

But we'll never convince those who believe the lies about Biden and Harris for they too find sustenance in accepting lies as truth.

He reaches around to his butt hole, grabs a hold of it, and throws it out to the world; all the time declaring it to be truth.
In actuality, it's just 100% pure Trumpian BS.

That's Trump Truth.

The gall is astounding. That his cult buys it it is a terrifying reminder that our mental health care system and some state's education systems are in dire need of being evaluated and changed.

Since many GOP pols think we should 'arm the teachers' in response to numerous mass killings at schools, instead of giving Trump more agents, perhaps we should advise him to arm his caddy, the pool guy, servers, cooks and maids at his resorts, and practice hiding quietly while bad guys with guns are out and about.

Hitler's six-minute broadcast
This article is more than 80 years old
No Commands of "Usurper Groups" must be Obeyed
Guardian
Fri 21 Jul 1944 09.46 EDT

In his broadcast speech this morning Hitler said:

"For the third time an attempt on my life has been planned and carried out. If I speak to you to-day it is, first in order that you should hear my voice and that you should know that I myself am unhurt and well; second, in order that you should know about a crime unparalleled in German history. The claim made by the usurpers that I am no longer alive is being contradicted at this very moment now that I am speaking to you.

"A very small clique of ambitious, irresponsible, and at the same time senseless and criminally stupid officers have formed a plot to eliminate me and with me, the German Wehrmacht command.

"The bomb was placed by Colonel Graf von Stauffenberg. A number of collaborators very dear to me were very seriously injured. I myself sustained only some very minor scratches, bruises and burns.

"The bombs exploded two metres to my right. One of those with me has died. I myself am completely unhurt.

"I regard this as a confirmation of the task imposed on my by Providence to continue on the road of my life as I have done hitherto. For I may confess to the nation that since the days when I moved into the Wilhelmstrasse I had only one thought - to dedicate my life ever since I realised that the war could no longer be postponed. I have lived for worry worry, work, and worry only.

"Suddenly at a moment when the German Army are engaged in a bitter struggle a small group emerged in Italy and in German in the belief that they could repeat the 1918 stab in the back. But this time they have made a mistake.

"The circle of these conspirators is very small and has no connection with the German Wehrmacht, and above all none with the German people. It is a miniature group of criminal elements who will now be ruthlessly exterminated.

"I therefore now order that no military authority, no leader of any unit, no private in the field is to obey any orders emanating from these groups of usurpers.

"I also order that it is everyone's duty to arrest, or if they resist, to kill at sight anyone issuing or handing on such orders.

"I order that no civil authority is to accept orders from any official post usurped by these usurpers."

Himmler as home C.-in-C.

"I have therefore, to create order once and for all, nominated Reich Minister Himmler to be Commander-in-Chief of the Home Army. I have summoned Colonel General Guderian to join my General Staff and to replace the Chief of the General staff, who has been taken to hospital.

"Another proved Easter Front commander has been called in by me to assist him. There has been no change in any other office in the Reich.

Orders have been issued to all troops. These will be blindly executed in accordance with the obedience characteristic of the Wehrmacht.

"We Shall Get Quits"

"I am convinced that with the emergence of this quite tiny clique of traitors and destroyers there has at long last been created in our rear that atmosphere which the fighting front needs. For is it possible that out there hundreds of thousands and millions of brave men sacrifice their lives while at home a small, filthy ambitious, self-seeking group should seek to sow the seeds of despair?

"This time we shall get quits with them in the way that National Socialists are accustomed. I am convinced that every decent officer, every gallant soldier, will comprehend this at this hour.

"What fate would have been in store for Germany had this attempt on my life succeeded is too horrible to think of.

"Every German, therefore, quite irrespective of who he may be, has the duty ruthlessly to call to book these elements at once, either to arrest them promptly, or, if they should offer resistance of any kind, immediately to wipe them out.

"It has again been granted to me that I should escape a fate which would have been terrible, not for me but for the German police. They see in this again the pointing finger of Providence, that I must and will carry on with my work."

Hitler's speech was announced by the Berlin radio stations only ten minutes before he was on the air. He spoke slowly and haltingly at first. He sounded tired and seemed breathless. Towards the end he began shouting excitedly.

Under Democratic administrations. For some reason, it seems to crash under the Red Team. I wonder why…🤨 (not really)

Maybe the markets were active on the possibility that Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent would be…sidelined…as it were.

Mon Sep 16, 2024, 04:24 PM

when asked twice by David Muir, saying only that he wants peace.

Seeing how Routh was very concerned about defending Ukraine and not just expressing fervent support for Ukraine but alleging he traveled there to volunteer but was turned down, quite possible Trump's own "rhetoric" about Ukraine and Putin possibly triggered the nut to take action.
