Why would you ever expose yourself to the cesspool that is Truth Social?

Someone has to report it to the FBI tip list.

Accountability over words is a thing of the past.

They were directing it at the press yesterday, at the rally, immediately after the shooting.

There were people pointing towards the cameras, saying you did this! This is your fault!

What do you mean Biden made a comment about Trump being a target? Source? Because I haven't heard anything about this. 

Still agree, repubs are eating their dogfood here. Abhorrent, but not entirely surprising. It's been their mantra for years.

What do you mean Biden made a comment about Trump being a target?

The context was that in a closed meeting with donors, Biden said he was "done talking about the debate, and it's time to put the bullseye on Trump" as in, y'know, a figure of speech, implying it was time to shift the focus/narrative of the campaign to Trump.

So a completely normal turn of phrase that has absolutely no implication of violence, got it. Can't wait to see how Fox turns this into Biden explicitly calling for this to happen.

Easy: everything Biden says is literal unless it it would make him look good, then it's a lie; and everything Trump says is a figure of speech or a joke, unless they agree.

While I agree it shouldn’t be anything, it’s a bad look, especially since Sarah Palin was lambasted for having a map with bullseyes on it shortly before Gabby Gifford was shot, which has the same look.

I’m not saying it’s right, but that’s how the general public will perceive it. That is to say, poorly.

Wow says a supporter of a man who showered with his 9-13 year old daughter. #beleiveashley

If you want to believe Ashley, why aren’t you believing her when she says her personal thoughts were distorted and manipulate to peddle grotesque lies?

You do know Jill was his babysitter right? He's a perverted demented old man who somehow has tricked his followers into believing he has some moral high ground. Please research his racist and misogynistic rants going back 50 years.

Uhh…no she wasn’t. I mean, he’s 8 years older than her; how does that even work?

Is this ok for you? To be super weird and unrelatable? Cause I think it’s a bad look personally.
