(11,167 posts)So a man and party that has promoted hate and violence for 8 yrs has a Republica gun nut wearing a gun nut org tshirt on shoots an AK15 that Dems want to eliminate to protect all people are blaming Biden and the one woman in a team of four SS detail Sounds about right.
Also, prove the 15 came from the kid. Inauguration night, after electi0on done. Piddly 15 dollars. On a credit card, what 17 yr old has cr card. No middle name. Registered Republican a couple months later. Sounds like a prank to me. Prove otherwise.

(36,463 posts)I was annoyed, because I picked the shortest line, and one family split into the separate tickets - with what turned out to be the slowest cashier ever.
The kid bought a pink Hubba Bubble bubble gum tape. With a credit card she pulled out of a little cross the body purse. (Could have been a debit card - I wasn't watching closely enough to see if she typed in a PIN).
Think. Again.

(35,959 posts)To someone vaguely associated with a $15 dollar donation and wont report at all on clear and unambiguous links between Epstein and Project 2025 with Trump tells me all I need to know.

(411 posts)The other guy is decades older than the shooter, and he appears to have given modest amounts to other Democratic campaigns dating back to ~2012. It seems more likely to me that the reporter mistook this guy for the shooter than the shooter actually donated to ActBlue at age 17. Idk.

(14,080 posts)That from the gossip reports being made this is coming from.
If it was the shooter, chances are he lost a bet.
And a 17 year old can have a credit/debit card; our Credit Union has had parent-monitored cards for 13 to 18 year olds for nearly 20 years.
Wouldn't put much into that as it was apparently only once, and only that time. And it's still gossip.

(32,761 posts)I saw the act blue receipt with his actual address. I got his address earlier from a background check program. I would share the image, but it has his parents' address on it. So I'll share the link.

(204 posts)The donation is confusing given everything else they are reporting about him.

(32,761 posts)The guy probably had mental health issues.
Maybe he liked Biden, then soured? Who knows?

(5,926 posts)attending high school. After he left home at 18 after a conflict with his father, did he assume his own political identity as a Republican. Inferred from his voter registration and the following source:

(6,504 posts)allow them. That one donation will become the narrative and "he was a Democrat."
Please prepare for it. Reverse gish gallop.

(1,818 posts)This wannabe assassin was a registered Republican gun nut who had access to an AR-15. His paltry fucking $15 donation 3.5 years ago MEANS NOTHING.
Repeat: He is a Registered Republican Gun Nut. Democrats need to mention that every time they speak about him, and they need to be ANGRY that this happened because this idiot had access to a fucking AR-15. Democrats need to stop fucking apologizing and equivocating.
