Donald I, emperor of the world.

But they put themselves there, entirely their decision. Nothing to so with economics, no external pressures, just decisions they have taken.

Think it fair to say that he firmly put the blame on Bonespurs first, and both political parties second.

That their 1st and immediate response is to try and discredit the victim is just madness sort of thing you'd be disappointed about from a 10 year old. And to believe that "having pronouns" ... my limited grasp of English grammar but Trump has pronouns "he", Trump's wife "she", Trump's family "they", etc. And how is her sexuality relevant to her being shot and killed, do they think it justifies ICE's action? etc.

And this from a Government of a supposed "superpower". Even a fictional novel with that storyline would get "unbelievable farce" as reviews.

As I said upthread, it's all symptomatic of an extremely warped mindset, whether they believe the tosh they are saying, or doing it calculatedly.

As raised (probably this thread), it gets difficult to place "blame". Of course it's Trûmp's decisions (his policies, his appointments, his management of Government) but if you appoint somebody with a track record can you be surprised when he does what is completely predictable (from past behaviour). So does part of the problem revert back to the US electorate ?

Edit: eg if we (UK) elected Faragë as PM would he be to blame" for doing what we all know he would do?

I'd like to propose a MAGAlyte anthem:

It's only slightly more homo erotic than YMCA.

Our own second rate Yoda you are.

Become powerful you have; the dark side in him you sense.

She did hit him, just because he didn't fly across the bonnet, does not cancel the point she hit him.

He had a split second to make a decision, he chose to shoot- probably through fear for his life.

If she had hit him then why - after the event - did his colleague not go to him and check was OK?

This is my favourite Manowar, but probably too arty farty for the MAGAts, with Orson Welles doing the narration.

If you watch clips, you can see him limping as he walks towards the crashed car

Edit this limp is likely attributed to a recent incident where he was dragged for 100 yards whilst apprehending another driver

There's possibly more video.

The officer who shot the woman seems to be holding a mobile phone in a recording position

Both.

That's fair, and yes; we as a country would be collectively to blame. Donnie didn't have to do what he is doing, and could easily be accused of going against what he stood for pre-election*. Hopefully the electorate are waking up.

*As per Milzy's post.

Cos the shooter was too busy walking away from the scene.

It’s hard to blame an ill informed electorate, who are often just turkeys voting for Christmas having been fed a diet of easily digestible populist nonsense.
The blame lies with professional journalists who are anything other than independent.
Also sadly some blame must lie with Biden and in our case Starmer, for being unable to produce a coherent narrative.

 

[Blazing Saddles]

Before jumping into an ICE vehicle and speeding away from the scene a lot faster than the dead woman.
So, leaving the scene of an accident, even ignoring leaving the scene of a fatal shooting.
