All that and he still had a donation to dems as well. 

You seem hung up on this.

There will be more gun deaths today. 327 people shot every day in the US.

Enough guns for every US citizen to have three, you can buy bullets at supermarkets from vending machines, people fuelled by extreme rhetoric in social media posts, which the social media promote the most divisive....what could go wrong ?

He was a registered Republican, it has been announced on major US media.

You are the one who seems intent on tryng to dispute it or mitigate it.

We have to all wait to see more in regards to his motivation(s).

When did he register as a republican ?
Maybe it was a decoy action so he could find his way near Trump.

If Project 2025 is implemeted to a great degree, it will end the US as you currently know it to a level your jaw will drop.

It is the open and wanton destruction of the administrative state, a radical re-shaping of vast swathes of the government in a christofascist manner, and a general bringing down the curtains on open pluralistic tollerant democracy. It also will wreak tremendous havoc on the socio-economic superstructures of the US, including the national debt (a further explosion),  an even further radical concentration of wealth in the top 0.1 per cent, as well as (this is a Trump maddening stupid scheme) destroy the general economy (not just limited to balance od trade) with insanely high tariffs on most all imported goods.

It is a wide-ranging elevation of the bad endeavours in life at the expense of the common good.

But you do you.

FAFO

Its so bad that our side is thanking god the guy, who will do it, wasnt taken out before being able to do it?

Aldo Moro

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldo_Moro

Aldo Romeo Luigi Moro (Italian pronunciation: [ˈaldo ˈmɔːro] ^ⓘ; 23 September 1916 – 9 May 1978) was an Italian statesman and prominent member of Christian Democracy (DC) and its centre-left wing.^[1] He served as prime minister of Italy in five terms from December 1963 to June 1968 and from November 1974 to July 1976.^[2][3]

Moro served as Italian Minister of Foreign Affairs from May 1969 to July 1972 and again from July 1973 to November 1974. During his ministry, he implemented a pro-Arab policy. Moreover, he was appointed Italy's Minister of Justice and of Public Education during the 1950s. From March 1959 until January 1964, he served as secretary of the DC.^[4] On 16 March 1978, the kidnapping of Moro by the far-left armed group Red Brigades took place; he was killed after 55 days of captivity.^[5]

Moro was one of Italy's longest-serving post-war prime ministers, leading the country for more than six years. Moro implemented a series of social and economic reforms that modernized the country.^[6] Due to his accommodation with the Italian Communist Party leader Enrico Berlinguer, known as the Historic Compromise,^[7] Moro is widely considered to be one of the most prominent fathers of the modern Italian centre-left. He governed Italy through the Organic centre-left.^[8][9]

How liberal conspiracy theories can be just as destructive as their extremist counterparts

Combating Corbyn

Dave Rich, head of policy at the Community Security Trust (an organisation set up to protect the Jewish community) argues that, “most left-wing people are not antisemitic and, overall, the left’s history of opposing antisemitism outweighs its history of indulging it”.

But this didn’t stop exaggerated and indeed conspiratorial antisemitism allegations emerging from the British political centre in the mid-2010s to discredit then-Labour party leader Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters. While antisemitism has been proven to be a scourge across all political parties in Britain and there was indeed a cluster of actionable cases of antisemitism among Labour members at the time, just 0.3% of more than 500,000 members in 2018-19 faced such charges, according to Glasgow University Media Group’s Greg Philo and his co-authors.

Nonetheless, Corbyn’s critics asserted that anti-Jewish racism was rife among the party’s rank and file. Their statements involved fiery and excessive rhetoric – exactly what liberal “debunkers” decry in left and right-wing conspiracism.

Corbyn was accused by centrist Labour MP Ruth Smeeth of making the party “unsafe for Jews” and by liberal Rabbi Jonathan Sacks of risking “engulfing Britain in … flames of hatred”. Sacks went further by likening Corbyn to the infamous racist politician Enoch Powell.

 

Another feature of irrational conspiracy theorising – right, left or centre – is misinformation. In their rigorous examination of the situation, Bad News for Labour: Antisemitism, The Party And Public Belief, Philo and his co-authors uncovered the liberal media’s various “reporting errors” and its inflation of the number of members disciplined for antisemitism. The effect on public opinion was such that, “on average people believed that a third of Labour Party members had been reported for antisemitism”.

Philo and his colleagues also noted the efforts made by anti-Corbynites to conflate the Labour leader’s longstanding criticisms of the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestinian territories with anti-Jewish racism.

Corbyn himself repeatedly denied accusations of institutional antisemitism in the party but was suspended for claiming that such charges were “dramatically overstated for political reasons”. Leaked documents from within Labour and an Al Jazeera investigative report found that antisemitism had been “weaponised” against Corbyn by his adversaries.

In 2016, both the Chakrabarty Report and the Parliamentary Home Affairs Select Committee inquiry concluded that there was, in the words of the latter, “no reliable, empirical evidence to support the notion that there is a higher prevalence of antisemitic attitudes within the Labour Party than any other political party”.
