Hey Luis, you want to know what was staged? The 2024 Democratic Convention. Supposedly Trump is the dire threat to our "democracy". Get a life, get a clue, and get a brain.

Tom Kennedy's avatar

Around 46-47% of Democrats, according to a recent Manhattan Institute poll, believe the July 2024 assassination attempt on Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania, was staged (orchestrated by his supporters to generate sympathy). Luis is a mainstream believer in staged assassination attempts on Trump from the left

It's kind of frightening how stupid these people are. MSNOW is way more dangerous than I thought.

Luis just wants to be accepted into the juvenile and demented community he imagines will accept him. He’s only so useful, so in due time he’ll be discarded, like a disposable diaper. Maybe it depends…

Wilt trump is a threat to our democracy for very much the same reasons.In fact, continuing the erosion of section two thirty that was supported by biden. Democrats oppose this.Human rights organizations opposed this and now marsha, blackburn and a whole bunch of republicans also want to do this.

I wish we would all ignore Jimmy Kimmel...he's not funny and his entire schtick is ridicule.

That's straight out of the book Rules for Radicals by Saul Alinsky...

ask Hillary about it, she wrote her senior thesis at Wellesley all about Rules for Radicals

I ignore him. I have never seen one of his shows. I wouldn't care if ABC raised his salary by a factor of 10 and signed a 20 year contract. But it would be funny for them to pay him for a poor product for decades.

Jimmy is NOT profitable is the craziest thing. His show is a money pit for the network and has been for years. It’s just that he’s been able to hide behind “caving to Trump Tyranny!”, to force them to keep him on. At this point, they would have to declare bankruptcy before they could get rid of him.

Not that I’d shed a tear; they are a garbage network from the top down. So Jimmy dragging them down to obsolescence hell with him is a good thing.

Kimmel's show is entirely funded and propped up by Pharma $$$. The more Pharma Phanatics are threated by RFK Jr., the harsher Kimmel gets. There is a correlation.

Kimmel should wear Pfizer and Moderna patches on his slick well-tailored coat.

Somebody needs to check Mr Albizu's immigration status

DuchessofNYC's avatar

Whoah, is that a joke? In a column where Stone upfront adamantly defends the right free speech, however odious, you want to go full McCarthy and just deport people you disagree with? That's how you're gonna win the argument? Hey Sasha, do you want to address this part of your audience that uses what you write to affirm their own knee-jerk beliefs?

Paul Scofield's avatar

Oh goody, yet another 'Free Speech' absolutist. In case you do not know it, your grace, neither the Bill of Rights nor the Constitution were written to be suicide pacts. Grow up.

DuchessofNYC's avatar

I think your argument then is not with me but with Sasha who defended Kimmel's right to say what he said regardless of how contemptible. What I was objecting to is this notion that you should report someone to immigration to question their legal status just cause you disagree with them. Which is what Koenig above was suggesting....

Anthony S Burkett's avatar

"Freedom of Speech" doesn't exist if those you disagree with are censored.

Limbaughnut123's avatar

The BEST way to deal with Kimmel is to..........TURN the CHANNEL!!!!! I am SURE LEFTISTS were OK with KIMMEL and his "Karl Malone" blackface skit....and him asking women.............."WHAT IS IN MY PANTS"!!!!!! Missed those???? Look them up, if they have not been scrubbed by YouTube!!!!!

I used that exact quote, with the sourcing, in a Jenna's Side (Jenna McCarthy) feature on Substack a couple of weeks back.

Ashby McDonald's avatar

Why? Because he does not have an anglo-saxon last name?

Come on - immigration status would be THE LEAST of our problems with this guy.

The "staged assassination" card was played after Butler AND the idiot at the golf course. The leftists are well versed at trying to place blame at the feet of those harmed while THEY are the real culprits. They KNOW it was a leftist wing-nut who made yet another feeble attempt on President Trump's life and they want desperately to take everyone's focus from that fact.

One of the first things they learn in life is "Do as I say, not as I do." After that is the lesson, "Rules for thee but not for me."

They can't stand it when any of their ilk are caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

Richard's avatar

They think that about Butler too. Hell if a shot to get Trump in the ear. And what about Contredore and the two wounded.

Steenroid's avatar

For the love of all that is holy don’t confuse that pea brains with facts and logic. Feelings is all they understand.

JJoshua's avatar

That’s right. They think 100% on emotions. 0% logic Or rational thought. TDS is a big part of that

RyGuy Schnei's avatar

More precisely, they think entirely on emotionally driven “Underdog Dialectics”. To be clear I don’t arbitrarily hate underdogs in general (but not all underdogs are automatically correct “just arbitrarily because”, either), but I have ABSOLUTELY come to utterly LOATHE all forms of Hegelian Dialectical thinking and application of that thought process into republican theory for the last 150 years has been an absolute catastrophe.

If I could use a Time Machine to kill one evil man before he came to influence anything, it wouldn’t be Hitler, it would be Hegel!

R H's avatar

Agreed. Ignore them like the fenceposts they are. Reason, observable facts, and logic have no effect on the demonic, lunatic left.

MichaelH: Storyteller's avatar

I've been saying for well over a year that leftist logic is an oxymoron.

Plus the shooter wound up shoot by the Secret Service in that case. Now in theory that could have been the favorite plot device of 'eliminate the patsy' but that requires you to believe the same Secret Service that was headed up by a BFF of DOCTOR Jill Biden, denied protection to RFK Jr as well as some notable Republicans, and that the Trump campaign had been complaining was assigning randomly selected B-teamers (like the lady agent who couldn't get her gun out of the holster) to his events would just happen to assemble a team that was willing to go along with an elaborate ruse that not only resulted in Trump being wounded but two dead as well.

Richard's avatar

If I am remembering correctly, the problem was with reholstering. Short of gunfights, that is the most dangerous thing you do with a gun and something every trainer obsesses about. More recently a SS agent on Dr. Jill's detail shot himself that way.

"Assassination nation" what a sad and evocative term. Leaving Kimmel to his own, is the best thing to do. Let him be ugly and he'll only get uglier.

The upside of freedom of speech is we know where the baddies are.

Outlaw18's avatar

To think that people somehow believe that Trump has the power or the people in Administration have the powers to get THREE Democrats to STAGE assassination attempts to make him look sympathetic or raise his pole #s is pretty mind boggling

Dorota's avatar

Only because they projected exactly what they are capable of doing, as usual.

PapayaSF's avatar

I agree it makes no sense for Trump to fake assassination attempts and that he’s not Hitler, but he *does* have a grand plan: MAGA and a Golden Age. He is an entertainer, but even entertainers have to plan: reality TV shows don’t just grow on their own, and neither do skyscrapers or victorious presidential campaigns.

I realized he had a grand plan when this term started. Killing USAID wasn’t just about saving money on foreign aid: it defunded a big part of the domestic left. DOGE also wasn’t just about saving money: it got him sysadmin control of federal computer systems, making it hard for the Deep State to plot against him and seizing enormous amounts of valuable evidence. Now add in his Norman Vincent Peale/New Thought background and his big ego. I’ll bet he has a secret GANTT chart with a multi-year timeline for draining the swamp, defeating Democrats and the left, solving huge problems like the national debt, and giving him an unmatched political legacy. Doesn’t that sound like something Trump would do?

Hear hear Papaya! 👏

VICKI's avatar

This man is truly sick in the head....hateful and uninformed and unpatriotic...I think you told him all he needs to know but is probably too hateful to accept. These are the dangerous people, they are the enemy of the United States of America. God Bless America!!!!

Jeff Keener's avatar

Good response, Sasha. In a more noble age, Kimmel's insult of Melania would have earned him a private ass-whipping, but in this ludicrous age, Trump would be better off publicly affirming Kimmel's right to be a jackass. He could then prompt Kimmel for more by saying "Come on, Jimmy, is that all you got? Why don't you say what you really want to say." Give Kimmel plenty of rhetorical rope.

Unwoke in Idaho's avatar

I disagree. Kimmel is already a martyr in the eyes of the left as Trump is just so mean to him. He needs to go but the way to do that is by turning the advertisers against him. Disney will not do anything unless it hits the bottom line.

JC Penney, Allstate, Starbucks, McDonalds, AT&T, Ford and Capital One advertise on this cretin's show. Get to them and show them how many are disgusted by his expectant widow comment and you'll see him jettisoned.

Damn .... I'm gonna miss MickeyD's. The rest I do not partake in.

CA Guy - reasonable thinker's avatar

Sasha, Good points for informing doubters of this 3rd assassination attempt. I watched how quick the Dems in my area in california just used the “its stagged” or “security failed” as main talking points. These are College educated with good jobs, not stupid, so I doubt they think for themselves and just auto-vote anything with “D” on the ballot. The Trump hate is really bizarre.

Upinthehills's avatar

If they admitted it, they admit that they are the dangerous, unhinged lunatics that they are. They can’t do that.

Tim Hurlocker's avatar

As soon as they saw the attempt failed, it became "staged."

Jen Todd's avatar

Why should it be removed? It should be countered for its clear disconnect from reality. This needs to be said more often:

"You should be sad that you are this weak-minded. You should try harder to come out of your mass hysteria bubble and try to see things as they are, not as you imagine them to be."

Roger Pressman's avatar

I agree with your assessment of Kimmel. He a fading celeb working in a fading entertainment segment with a dollop of historical illiteracy and a 55 gallon drum of delusional thinking.

WRT your response to the conspiracy theorist, there’s a quote often attributed to Jonathan Swift: “ You can’t reason someone out of a position they never reasoned themselves into in the first place.” That’s what you’re attempting to do. Won’t work.

davewohl@midco.net's avatar

The sad thing is he is one of the many low-iq and brainwashed fools out there. I'm trying to figure, does he make a few pennies for clicks or what.

Thanks for dealing with them in a much kinder way than they should be!
