Hmm... this sounds like it is copied from !news@lemmy.world. Sounds like an AI move, just sayin

/s in case it isn't obvious

Saying that someone who shot a president is likely an assassination attempt is not a logical fallacy. There are pretty much 2 possibilities: targeted attack and random acts of violence. The fact that he seemed to be aiming at Trump suggests the former.

True: confirmed information. False: unconfirmed information of a speculative nature. Do you see a specific issue you disagree with or are you just trying to argue?

Thank you for posting a version that has a label on it. I don't mean that sarcastically or anything.

It's a party in the USA? You can register to any party lol

Shit, you can put in your own "other" and handwrite in whatever BS you want in PA. I've read through voter rolls and people write in shit like "Birthday Party"

Very true, it's a pretty typical age for schizophrenia to develop in men

It's a weird story. It claims he aimed at the cop, who then backed off. There probably was enough time do do something but it probably would've risked the cop getting himself shot.

If someone has made a claim that runs counter to commonly acknowledged information, please report it. If you need a few examples…

You would need a source to say:

  • “the new COVID vaccine is dangerous because it has killed people”
  • “Donald Trump faked an attack on his life”
  • “this new medical treatment is extremely effective”

You would NOT need a source to say:

  • “Donald Trump was subject of an assassination attempt” (commonly known and widely speculated to be an assassination attempt)
  • A personal preference like “Chocolate cake is the best kind of cake”
