  1. A bit from the commentary:

    > No one thinks President Joe Biden tried to assassinate Donald Trump.
    >
    > “Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, in their Illegal and UnConstitutional Raid of Mar-a-Lago, AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE,” the former president wrote on his Truth Social platform this week. Earlier in the day, it was revealed that hidden classified documents were found in Trump’s bedroom following the FBI’s 2022 search.

    > Not even the people using their MAGA megaphones to say this believe their lies.
    >
    > , , ,
    >
    > As contemptible as this behavior is, however, it’s important to take it seriously for one major reason: Whatever the MAGA right accuses its opponents of doing, they themselves are doing, or at least plan on doing.
    >
    > Projection is a permanent psychological state for Trump and his allies. Trump spends all day, every day lobbing accusations at others, and without fail, everything he puts on other people better describes himself. He calls his opponents “crooked,” “sleepy,” “racist” and mocks their waistlines. It’s on-the-nose, how much he’s just describing what he sees in the mirror.

  2. Trump’s claims are ridiculous but even if Biden *did* try to do this, he has “presidential immunity” according to Trump, so Biden did nothing wrong.

  3. Not only projection, but also a complete lie and disinformation.
    First of all Trump wasn’t there, and secondly the clause about deadly force is standard wording for FBI operations.

  4. Trump argued in the Supreme Court that Biden has the right to do that.

  8. I think he may be genuinely afraid. After all many governments would do it given the level of threat. Previous presidents have had people assassinated.

  9. Every time Trump crosses a new red line, he always accused his chief political rival of crossing it, or having crossed it first.

    These accusations of Biden planning to assassinate Trump should be understood as rhetorical maneuvers meant to prepare Americans for Trump’s assassinating political rivals if he wins the November election.

  10. If the US President wants someone dead, they’re dead. Trump’s continued existence is proof that he’s lying.

  12. The Joe Biden Paradox strikes again. Somehow too riddled with dementia to know where he is, but still sharp enough to hide an assassination attempt in front of the world.

  14. The Republican Party is a total joke. Made up fantasy. No interest in any ideas to help people.

  15. I’m not surprised, considering this is Donald Duck von Shitzenpantz we’re talking about.

    Biden never said he would have his men assassinate Donald Duck von Shitzenpantz. That’s just another one of Donald Duck von Shitzenpantz’s insane rhetorics.

  17. Biden is somehow both a bumbling idiot and the James Bond villain of Republican plot lines.

  18. He’s prepping the people for his version of the Night of Long Knives so that he can say, “I’m just doing what they were going to do!”

  19. The entire idea Biden has direct control over the FBI and not the Military tells you all you need to know about the Donald’s mindset.

  20. Mark Chapman slowly, creepily nods. “I’ll be your Huckleberry, Dark Brandon”

  21. Who killed Jefferey Epstein when trump was president?

  22. The DOJ knew Trump wasn’t there when they raided it, so that conflicts with their narrative right there. There is also the fact that according to Trump’s own legal argument, Biden has the authority to do that as president. Pick a lane here. It can’t just be ok that your guy can do it.

  23. Dictator wannabe, Trump praises authoritarian leaders Putin, Xi, Orban, and Kim at Bronx rally on Thursday. “They are on top of their game”.

  24. Trump allegedly had fully authority to do whatever he wanted.  I don’t understand why he’d let Biden win if Biden was just going to assassinate trump….which Biden allegedly has the full and legal authority to do….according to Trump.   Wait, did I get this right?  I can’t imagine any sane person would believe this.

  25. I wish Biden and democrats were half as evil as the boogeyman trump and his cult cook up

    No I’m saying he be assassinated but just once I want thr gloved to come off snd Biden to tell them to fuck off back to Russia

  26. a sleepy confused old man and simultaneously a calculating assassin
    don’t bother picking a lane because your followers wouldn’t be your followers if they cared for logic

  27. I heard Biden showed up personally at Mar-A-Lago because he wanted to do butt stuff to Trump. Thank God the Secret Service had whisked President Trump away rather than let him be Biden’s little butt boy.

  28. Dumbasses really don’t know how federal officers work, do they? Every Federal Officer can use deadly force if they deem it necessary just like cops since they’re almost literally Federal Police Officers.

    https://www.fbi.gov/about/faqs/what-is-the-fbis-policy-on-the-use-of-deadly-force-by-its-special-agents

    >FBI special agents may use deadly force only when necessary—when the agent has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the agent or another person. If feasible, a verbal warning to submit to the authority of the special agent is given prior to the use of deadly force.

  29. This bullshit from this orange clown needs to STOP. Its getting annoying af right now.

  30. GOP accusations are almost always just confessions. They self-report by being against anti fascism…huh wonder if there’s a word for that? They spread conspiracies about “elites” (they usually mean jews) using their wealth to secretly control the government, while accepting disgusting sums of money to make policies that benefit their donors, who also happen to write things like Project 2025. They talk about “groomers coming after kids in school” but they want to put schools into the hands of Prager U and remove the Board of Education so they can control what children learn.

  31. I love that Biden is both a useless and confused old man **and** a criminal mastermind.

    Doublethink is a helluva drug!
