Chris hedges:

”My thoughts on the assassination attempt on former President Trump:

The assassination of Trump would not remove the yearning of tens of millions of people, many conditioned by the Christian right, for a cult leader. Most of the leaders of the Christian right have built cult followings of their own. These Christian fascists embraced magical thinking, attacked their enemies as agents of Satan and denounced reality-based science and journalism long before Trump did. Cults are a product of social decay and despair, and our decay and despair are expanding, soon to explode in another financial crisis.

The efforts by the Democratic Party and much of the press, including CNN and The New York Times, to discredit Trump, as if our problems are embodied in him, are futile. The smug, self-righteousness of this crusade against Trump only contributes to the national reality television show that has replaced journalism and politics. This crusade attempts to reduce a social, economic and political crisis to the personality of Trump. It is accompanied by a refusal to confront and name the corporate forces responsible for our failed democracy. This collusion with the forces of corporate oppression, which have impoverished the working class, fostered endless war, militarized our police, created the largest prison system in the world, licensed corporations to exploit the most vulnerable and transferred wealth upwards into the hands of a billionaire class, neuters the press, Trump's critics and the Democratic Party.

Our only hope is to organize the overthrow of the corporate state that vomited up Trump. Our democratic institutions, including the legislative bodies, the courts and the media, are hostage to corporate power. They are no longer democratic. We must, like resistance movements of the past, engage in acts of sustained mass civil disobedience, especially strikes, and non-cooperation. By turning our ire on the corporate state, rather than Trump, we name the true sources of power and abuse. We expose the absurdity of blaming our demise on demonized groups such as undocumented workers, Muslims, African-Americans, Latinos, liberals, feminists, gays and others. We give people an alternative to a bankrupt Democratic Party -- whose presidential candidate is in clear cognitive decline -- that is a full partner in corporate oppression and cannot be rehabilitated. We make possible the restoration of an open society. If we fail to embrace this militancy, which alone has the ability to destroy cult leaders, we will continue the march toward tyranny.”

People who cast MAGA as economically motivated have been shown consistently wrong. They misunderstand the nature of this beast. This is A CULTURE WAR, it is not about policy or improvement of government, or a critique of capitalism. The people who support Trump are too ignorant to care about such sophisticated things as proper governance or economics. These people want MORE capitalism! And they will hang socialists like Chris Hedges from a gallows. Because this isn't about improving economics. You could give each MAGA ten million dollars and they would still be MAGA. They don't care about crafting fair economic policy.

Hedges is projecting his socialist agenda onto this CULTURE WAR.

AI drones with guns are coming and It’s going to lower the barrier of entry to assassinations even more.

If the assassin was a drone how would They defend against it?

I believe the snipers shot was being rushed because of police pursuit.

That means police did their job well.

The really scary thing is not drones with guns, but tiny insect drones who are so small they can poison you without you even seeing them.

Imagine a drone the size of a dragonfly with a poison syringe flying right into your neck during a speech. That is coming.

The best drone is a poison ant that craws up your leg. You won't even know what killed you.

Police did well after the fact but secret service should have kept the man off the roof to begin with.

Sharpshooter describes snipe situation in detail. Says it was a major security breach. Any average sniper could have easily gotten him. 

Security is lucky that Trump is still alive after this mishap. I believe the snipers shot was being rushed because of police pursuit.

They are saying he was a bad shooter but really the issue was he was nervous. His heart was probably pounding, sun in his eyes, he just crawled 2 roof tops, the stress is insane, this is not a relaxed shooting range, he’s on the verge of death, he’s 30 seconds from death and now he has to aim and pull a trigger!

Hitting his ear is a good shot. That's like 3 inches off center.

The Devil just has supernatural luck.

You're right. I was thinking about that. Body trembling. Shit in pants!

@Danioover9000 I actually don't have notifications on and am glad Yimpa shared the link, but thanks for the useless negativity. I'll consider your points on my bigotry and Christian phobias, if that's what they are.

Obviously, I am bothered by current affairs but not sure you're assumptions are accurate. I'm in the the deep south where the Trump flags fly and the Christians hate you if you aren't one of them. 

Now that I think of it, I'm not intolerant of Christians. I'm intolerant of their evil. Forgive me for not having my shit together to the point where I can just be all cool like you. 

   Nothing personal too. Just saying not all Christians are overlords and in powerful places, some are middle working class and some Christians are poor, just letting you know maybe you got hate for a religion just cuz of the religion. And same too I'm not intolerant of certain religions, but just some evil outcomes to certain religions. To me it's mostly the religious dogma and religiosity, not a specific religion per say, that misinterpreted what the prophet and founder of that religion was trying to say with their spirituality. And predatory capitalism and Neoliberalism in the mix too.

Destiny is unhinged. This isn't something new or controversial. He moves like a sociopath. There is something fundamentally wrong with how he can be so unkind, cruel, and devoid of sympathy or feelings towards others. He has laughed about the suicide of his best (?) friend before. Found the whole thing funny. Didn't care to persuade his friend away from it. To him, it was whatever. That guy is not normal in the head.

   Sure, but what's that got to do with me? BTW I know that moment where Destiny did laugh, but actually it's how calm and collected he was about the entire thing, still performing to his audience whilst talking about Reckfull that was the disturbing part. And I do body language analysis and I can say maybe Destiny did have a connection to Reckfull but in reality it's more because of content making, of transactional relationship to him, like Destiny cares much more with what use and value you'll provide him in terms of numbers, views, revenue. In that respect he's actually similar to Elon Musk, except he's of course a great debater and is somewhere in the autism spectrum and has good political takes despite whatever strangeness is happening to Destiny.

I thought he was coming at you for that. I don't know anymore. But I stand by what I said.

Corey Comperatore, a former fire chief of the Buffalo Township Volunteer fire company in Pennsylvania, has been identified as the victim who was shot and killed amidst an assassination attempt on Donald Trump on Saturday.

“He was a hero that shielded his daughters. His wife and girls just lived through the unthinkable and unimaginable,” Comperatore’s sister, Dawn Comperatore Schafer, said in a post on Facebook.

“My baby brother just turned 50 and had so much life left to experience. Hatred has no limits and love has no bounds. Pray for my sister-in-law, nieces, my mother, sister, me and his nieces and nephews as this feels like a terrible nightmare but we know it is our painful reality.”

Two other rally attendants were wounded. Pennsylvania state police have identified the other two victims as 57-year-old David Dutch of New Kensington, Pennsylvania, and 74-year-old James Copenhaver of Moon Township, Pennsylvania. Both are listed in stable condition.

Comperatore’s wife and daughter described the scene at the rally, stating Corey Comperatore quickly moved to shield his family when the shots began.

“He shielded my body from the bullet that came at us. He loved his family. He truly loved us enough to take a real bullet for us,” said his daughter, Allyson Comperatore, in a Facebook post.

His wife, Helen Comperatore, added on Facebook: “What my precious girls had to witness is unforgivable. What I had to was.”

Josh Shapiro, Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, ordered flags to fly at half mast “to recognize the tragedy that occurred at a rally for former President Trump in Butler County last evening, and in honor of Corey Comperatore, a Butler county husband and father who was killed while attending the event”.

In a White House press conference Joe Biden paid tribute also, saying that Comperatore had died defending his family from harm.

A GoFundMe was started on behalf of Comperatore’s family, which had quickly exceeded its fundraising goal.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Comperatore worked as a project and tooling engineer at JSP, a plastics manufacturing firm in Butler, Pennsylvania.
