mr peters has doubts about the orange man, while i think him a decoy to catch our attention while he does the bidding of the motherwefers, and some of that is illustrated here;

Will the attempted murder of Donald Trump in Pennsylvania the other day be framed as a “threat to our democracy” by the people who so regard not just Trump but also anyone who supports Trump?

And will Trump support “reasonable” restrictions on gun owners – that is to say, criminalization of gun ownership by people who didn’t take a shot at him or anyone else for that matter?

After all, he already has.

It was Trump who tried to ban bumpstocks, which you’ll you’ll recall aren’t even guns. They are attachments used by some to make it easier to fire a semi-automatic rifle faster (but not automatically fire). Why should that be illegal? More finely, why ought mere possession of a part of a gun be criminal? The Supreme Court agreed.

But the point is, Trump disagreed.

How about “due process later”? That is to say, seize the guns of people who aren’t criminals – by dint of the fact that they haven’t done anything illegal – on the basis of worry that they might.

Which is very wrong – if you don’t think it’s right to punish people who’ve not even been charged with (let alone convicted of) a criminal act. Perhaps Trump is now more sensitive to such persecution, having been the victim of it himself. All it took for a single Colorado bureaucrat to remove him from the primary ballot was the assertion that Trump was guilty of “insurrection.” Never mind that he’d yet to be convicted or even charged with this offense.........more.....
