The new world: hate speech be damned.

Jack Black's band was playing a concert Sunday night in Australia, when a member of the band (Kyle Gass) made this spontaneous comment to the crowd: "Don't miss Trump next time".

A few people laughed, but Australian politicians called for the band to be deported, and Black himself said this after the show:

“I was blindsided by what was said at the show on Sunday. I would never condone hate speech or encourage political violence in any form,” Black wrote on Instagram Tuesday morning. “After much reflection, I no longer feel it is appropriate to continue the Tenacious D tour, and all future creative plans are on hold. I am grateful to the fans for their support and understanding.”

Wow.  The remainder of the tour was cancelled.  The world has really changed the past few days.

After Biden's "90-minute senior moment" debate debacle, his main strategy to catch up was to attack Trump in the media.  And unfortunately, mudslinging works in political campaigns.  The Biden campaign spent a bunch of money on attack ads, many of which were scheduled to be shown in Milwaukee this week during the RNC.  TV, radio, billboards, buses, etc.  An onslaught of attack ads.  They would have made a positive impact for Biden.

After Trump's assassination attempt, the democrats cancelled all the ads.  Their #1 weapon against Trump has been dismantled.  They have to tread lightly, at least for a while.

Of course, they will rebound somehow and get back in the fight, to some extent.  But their saber is very dull at the moment.

The “Utlra Maga Extremism”  style attacks haven’t stopped by a long shot.  Maybe the “Hitler” and “existential threat to democracy” line have cooled (temporarily, but they’ll be back in full swing soon.  The Dems just can’t help themselves.

But they’re not as bad……🤪

You really think JD Vance is going back to  all that?

They're saying the shooter recently did internet searches for Major Depressive disorder, Trump, Biden, the Trump PA rally, the DNC, and the British Royal Family. 

 

Did this guy specifically target Trump or was he mentally ill and planning a way to go out in a blaze of "glory", and Trump just happened to be the closest major target available by having a rally in the kids neighborhood? 

 

Everyone wants this guy to have some specific reason or objective in targeting Trump, but he may be similar to all these young, male school shooters America has a problem with, in that he didn't have a real objective other than chaos aided by mental illness and easy access to guns.

In all honesty, most of these actors are delusional and just wacko. For all we know he was hearing voices in his head. Most people don’t go out and attempt to take out a presidential figure unless they are crazy as you-know-what.
