Trump is scuppered good and proper this time


But yeah Biden is saying Trump may be subsequent President.

Whom to place that gentlemans bet on that is the question.

I'd WISH for the former but remember folks its America where there was a serious train wreck with environmental impact a while back!

I've a few thoughts.

Maybe it was a genuine "Oops!" from the pilot? Maybe it was deliberate to see the US reaction? Maybe it was deliberate to down and recover the drone?

Four years for taking the eye out of this beautiful young girl. The justice system is an insult to the country.

Think again...our justice system allows for reduced sentencing for good behavior in prison which could possibly mean a lesser sentence....

He should have got a stiffer sentence for certain.To me , life sounds about right, as he has fucked up her life surely.

[Del.Monte]

Life with rock breaking.

Strange. Despite what would appear to be overwhelming evidence. No charges have yet been pressed. Me thinks the accused may have some friends in high places

[Mirabeau]

They're giving him an escape.
He must have a lot of dirt on a lot of people.
This has to be much bigger than just one person.

[Jack The Stripper]

Only fools who are honest in this country.

AFAIK he has signed himself into the mental,an well worn path for those seeking to escape trouble

Have there been many female mass shooters in America? The news is a female shot 6 people including three children today in Nashville. I can't remember hearing about other female school shooters, but maybe there have been.

[678904673]

Not many but there has. The one below is probably the most famous. The song I dont like Mondays was based on the shooting

Yes, you're right! Very famous one. It's just I couldn't get my head around it.

[isha]

Just found this

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2023/03/27 ... -nashville
In a data set of 172 mass shootings, defined as involving four victims or more and collected before Monday’s case, only four assailants were women or girls. In two cases, women acted alongside a man.

[Apelles]

From here https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/li ... -rcna76861

'Approximately 17 active shootings have been carried out by women in the country since 1979, according to an NBC News tally. Seven of them, including Monday's shooting at The Covenant School in Nashville, were school shootings."

[isha]

From what I am picking up, once you get past the 4chan memes re "Sam Hyde", this may be a female who identifies as a man.

NBC news confirms 28 year old Audrey Hale.
Social media accounts have been scrubbed. But before that happened some bits were screenshot. It seems Audrey also went by the name Aiden.

Tragic happening.

WTF. I'm hoping this is a parody account

[isha]

I don't think it is. More and more I see accounts openly calling for "vengeance" because of the response to extreme trans activism. Some may not be aware of how Kellie Jay Keen was attacked in New Zealand and had to be given police protection because of death threats and had to leave the country, all openly invited by mainstream media and a lot of politicians. Keen has a movement called Let Women Speak. It is to facilitate women speaking up about their private spaces, sports, representation etc being commandeered by trans identifying males. She also speaks against the brutal medicalisation of vulnerable youth. For that she is depicted as a Nazi. A completely unrelated group of actual Nazis turned up and ambushed one of her recent Australian events and this was leaped upon as"proof". More and more extreme trans rights activists seem to be close to becoming actual terrorists, as dangerous a threat as incels at least. Several recent mass shooters have identified as transgender. This Nashville shooter had a manifesto. We will hopefully get to see what was in it.

It’s odd how the media are stuck on “ what possible motive could this killer have”, a transgender person shooting up a religious school, who knows
