Breaking News: Pennsylvania authorities have arrested a 38-year-old man who they said had set fire to the official residence of Gov. Josh Shapiro.
Who has already been bonded out by a FoxNews personality and is the new MAGA hero due to his clear lack of mental stability. Lack of mental stability now seen as one of the qualities most important for a ‘true alpha male’, second only to domestic violence driven by the misogyny of an insecure man.
You know MAGA is implicated when NYT downplays a firebombing.
From what’s I’ve gathered, he isn’t right or left…. More anti government, misogynistic and stoner vibe. So on brand for Harrisburg. He has a blended family, His grans house was just auctioned off so bitter. Probably just mad at gov and governor was close by.
Obviously, someone tried to assassinate the Governor. Probably because he was Jewish, and a Democrat. Perhaps a wannabe Proud Boy? Or a different brand of Fascist? #trumptargets
77 Million are willing hostages!!
Should have a hate crime “multiplier” added to the charges.
😱
Resisters, at every town hall your congress members refuse to attend conduct a vote. “By a show of hands, should we replace ‘said reps’?” This will allow the voters to show the world that Americans want this coup to STOP! #BuildtheResistance chng.it/WBR8LRVmr7
He's probably going to get a trial, due process, is presumed innocent until proven guilty and everything... even though he's a domestic terrorist suspect... (Because we're not fascists!)
And they’ll say he’s from a good Christian family, and has mental issues.
I think Cody Balmer is a GREAT candidate for deportation to CECOT
Trump will give him a job.
Kids - Attend a university. Don't let American pop-culture and dispensaries educate you.
Hey was he on the Trump Payroll? I think his name is on the ledger right next to Bondi
MAGA has made brainwashing a science. Young men can so easily hate, just give em a reason. True or not don't matter. Just feed the beast
Oh rump will probably pardon him.
Chances he posses a red baseball cap?
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Cody Balmer is a lifelong Democrat who attended 39 Kamala Harris rallies
Dude was a Republican. www.newsweek.com/cody-balmer-...
It wouldn’t be the first time an anti-Biden individual was pro- Harris
He explicitly was pro trump, did you even read the article?
Nice misinformation. He's one of your guys, the far-right. Your kind has sure been committing a lot of violence haven't they?
Do you think right-wingers can't take pictures with minorities? They're not gonna melt if they do.
"Gov. Josh Shapiro and Family Evacuated After Arson" They were given enemas..? Locations are evacuated, not people.
Death penalty
mymymy what good security... if it was a Black Man they would have shot him on the street.. White privilege gets you in the fence..
It’s terrorism. Should be elevated to a Federal charge, but it won’t be.
Trump can't pardon state crimes only federal
I understand. He can still be charged by a state. He should be Federally charged, though. If he isn’t, it’s further evidence the Trump DOJ is corrupt.
I hope not. I don't trust the DoJ.
I don’t either. The question is, at what point will they demonstrate their untrustworthiness?
Right?
You do NOT know that.
Andrew, my comment was re what charges will be filed. I agree terrorism could be a factor.
State charges. Waiting to see what Federal charges will be filed. Luigi Mangione was not charged with terrorism. However, the attack on the Shapiro family was an attack on a sitting official. Regardless of motive, that’s an attempt to change the political situation by violence- terrorism.
resist.bot/petitions/PZ...
Thank you.
Let’s see. Jewish. First night of Passover. Blood libel. If not terrorism, for sure anti-semitism.
Cody "Balmer will be charged with attempted murder, terrorism, aggravated arson, and aggravated assault, the Dauphin County District Attorney announced Sunday." See www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-.... @awatayama.bsky.social, you were skeptical too quickly! Terrorism was charged.
State charges only. Balmer should face a Federal terrorism charge; his case is qualitatively different from Mangione’s.
I was contesting @awatayama.bsky.social's statement that terrorism would NOT be charged. The crimes at Gov. Shapiro's Harrisburg residence happened at 2 a.m. today. Attorneys have not had enough time to determine all the charges they will file.
Shapiro, Pelosi, Whitmer. Just women in power & Jewish people are being targeted. Oh yeah, democrats! Meanwhile, this sh*t STILL needs an explanation!!
One of Trump’s “homegrowns”.
It was an assassination attempt. He did it because Gov Shapiro is Jewish. This was a hate crime.
If there was a Tesla in the garage Pam Bondi will charge the suspect with domestic terrorism.
Someone should smash his face in with a dull hammer. #TrumpCunt
How will the Trump nightmare play out? It depends on the people in the US. Choose the future. Even in dark times, we can choose light. Resistance isn't just protest—it's choosing peace through love, truth over fear, and care over cruelty. We can build a world where everyone thrives.
Smmfh!!!
I feel for the guy. We know how Trump feels about antisemitism. Probably get 4 death sentences.
Trump has a long history of antisemitism, and he's currently using 'antisemitism' as an excuse to search people's phones and harass people who disagree with him. It's the usual Trump distraction, in this case tailored for the Christian nationalists who are all about the Apocalypse
Exactly my point.
Sorry! I misunderstood. I don't know whether I'm paranoid or not, but the increasing frequency and intensity of antisemitism makes me kinda defensive (just look at the people legitimizing the firebombing of the Pennsylvania Governor's mansion..)
I meant that Trump uses antisemitism like Israel uses antisemitism, as a cudgel against opposition.
Me too! It's just that as an atheist Jew, I can feel like I've got a target on my back. It's his usual playbook - it's just the Jews' turn this go-round. It'll be someone else until they feel comfortable to openly and confidently say "you don't support the pres enough - off to jail."
I mean, send him to fucking El Salvador.
😬😫🙄
Life in prison at least.
20 years, right pam?
This is where everybody is holding their hand together and saying, "Oh, I hope the crazy guy voted for the other party." I am glad to hear Shapiro family are all safe.
Another Republican terrorist, there's a pattern forming.
This is an actual assassination attempt. Unlike the one where an ear miraculously grows back.
Domestic terrorism.
By a Republican
The beginning of Hitler's 3rd Phase maybe? Whether this is staged or not, I'm worried.
I bet if he's a GOP gov, the MAGA will be all over this one.
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
What are the odds he was wearing a MAGA hat?
Let me guess: MAGA?
PREDICTABLE Republicans will say Liberal, Antifa, etc, when again, it'll be one of their own.They won't see any link to the rhetoric,behavior,and the decisions of this administration and the WHOLE party. Even the silent complicit ones. BUT IT'S VERY CLEAR THAT CRUELTY STARTS WITH AN R NOT D.
Remember the "6MWE" and "Camp Auschwitz" shirts worn by 100's of Trump Jan 6th TERRORISTS. 6MWE means 6,000,000 Jews killed by the Nazis was NOT ENOUGH. I wonder is Camp Auschwitz a Bible Belt Evangelical EXTERMINATION Camp for Gay Boys, from which they never return alive? Trump is a good guy? NO!
Never forget that a Trump Evangelical Republican MAGA TERRORIST attacked @pelosi.house.gov home and nearly killed her husband Paul. Now, another #DonaldTrump Evangelical Republican MAGA TERRORIST attacks the Jewish Governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro.
White male with social media posts aligning to MAGA. There fixed your headline.
He seems nice.
Wow, I never would've suspected. He seems like such an upstanding citizen.
Fine people and tourists Smdh
To be fair, probably 99% of MAGA men feel the same way about women.
Drag queen?
Why havent they released a photo of this man yet?
THE ‘Domestic Terriorist ‘ name is Cody Balmer, 38 who commited arson and attempted murder! On Passover
I wish these guys would just get a hair transplant instead of domestic terrorism ffs
Didn't help Elon.
Ohhhh my
From a (no paywall) CNN article “The attack was “targeted” but a specific motive is still unknown, Shapiro said at the conference.” If the motive is unknown then isn’t the terrorism anti-Jewish charge also premature? Plenty of non-Jewish targeted rebuke of Governors in recent political discourse👇
It will be very disturbing if found connected, and I wish Shapiro and his family well after this frightening crime- but let’s get some more details besides it being on a Jewish Holiday to back that up- or we’ll be seeing crimes committed on Easter charged as anti- Christian domestic terrorism
Where was he on Jan 6 2021?
MAGA Maggots for ya!
Any condolences to #Shapiro from #Trump? No?
Hey Liberals, make sure to give this arsonist a slap on the wrist like you did w/ J6 traitors & Trump himself & all criminals. You've emboldened these fucks by being pussies. Rehabilitation is a joke. No, they won't learn a lesson. They're fighting a war of life & death. Wake up to that reality.
Has Trump pardoned him yet?
Was he attacked because he's Jewish or because he's a democrat?
Yes.
I bet he is a magat
Straight to comments cause I knew they’d be 🔥🤣
Trump will call him a “patriot”
Bet you $5 he’s a maga
We know he is a trump supporter
Will this guy have a Trump pardon in his future?
Terrorism
If you ask me, the name Cody is pretty on-brand here.
Let me guess, he will be deemed one of the "Very fine people" and not a terrorist. Be prepared for a slap on the wrist with a wet lettuce leaf as punishment.
this is just the start of the MAGA terrorism campaign to come The aim is to trigger a street war between the far right and far left to use as a pretext to suspend elections, ban protests and crush all political opposition to the Trump Regime
Good lock him up
This is horrible and unacceptable. I’m waiting to see who this suspect followed… Yes, that IS WHO I am suspecting it to be.
Do you think Trump will pardon him? Then coin him a patriot for attacking a Dem Governor ? Or will El Salvador be his new permanent resting place?
Trump will pardon him
Has Trump pardoned him yet?
State crime. He ain't getting pardoned.
There’s a report that his house was recently auctioned off by the County at the request of the loan servicer.
A lot of comments made in this post remind me of the trolls posting on toxic Facebook
while bill maher is telling everyone how stable ConOld Plump is.. the worm turned to the imbecile side, apparently, or obviously
How many days until this Nazi gets a pardon
…but were any Teslas harmed?
Will he receive a pardon?
This is totally unacceptable & Trump should stand up like a man & denounce this violence but he doesn’t care & he’s not a decent man so that is probably not going to happen.
And where are Trump and Bondi in condemning this act of domestic terrorism? Nowhere. They care more about Teslas burning.
Send that criminal to El Salvador!
Get rid of the pay wall
It's a joke?
So the guy who committed acts of violence was "just joking" when he talked about committing acts of violence. Okay sure. 🙄
Friend, it's a joke and plenty of liberals say this kind of stuff. Should we "Hello? FBI?" them as well?
No, because the FBI is complicit in fascism at this stage. We oppose this man's violence because it is unjust, not because it's violent. It's not correct to pretend they are the same.
People casually joke like that. It sounds like something that would be on a wine mom insulated glass or something.
Where was the security? Sleeping?
Thanks to trumpie hate is at all time high.
Maga! No doubt at all some incel maga
And he'll be out on parole by tomorrow. They are going to make violence against anyone not in the cult acceptable. It's the nazi regime all over again, this time much stupider.
Wow
And now let's see Bondi throw her weight at this guy! Attempted murder as a minimum to start. Then antisemitism and arson and terrorism and....
She’ll give this MAGAT a low level felony charge, then cook up some excuse as to why she did.
Wouldn't surprise me at all ☹️
Am expecting Georgia Republican Rep Andrew Clyde to claim the arsonist just a normal tourist like he did with the Jan6 insurrectionists.
What was his misguided motive? Gov. Shapiro is trying to do good for his state? Use your vote, not matches... moron
This is Cody Balmer #MAGA TRUMP @GOP RADICALS doing more batshit antisemitic arsonist violence against the @JoshShapiroPA When MAGA show you who they are arrest them! @PamBondi_AG @PamBondi 🖕🏼🖕🏼🖕🏼 off to El Salvador!
This is Cody Balmer #MAGA TRUMP @GOP RADICALS doing more batshit antisemitic arsonist violence against the @JoshShapiroPA When MAGA show you who they are arrest them!
Bet any money he looks like your typical pea-brained MAGAT.
Tada!
How come I can’t find the president’s statement of condolences and strong annunciation of this terrorist act in America?
Yikes
REPUBLICANS ARE CRAZY! The responsible people are all republicans!
A trump nazi did this
So much sickness out there.
And he'll get due process, I'm sure.
Yep. He falls right in the age group of the most deluded.
Yay they got him!
Must’ve been a white guy. You put Black people front and center.
I hope he is charged with terrorism.
😥
We have multiple democratic governors who have been targets of domestic terrorism, but Trump will still say the left is more violent because someone slashed some Tesla tires or something (which is also bad, but not terrorism)
He somehow never mentions that the kid in butler was maga.
Trump will say he was at the Gov mansion for a tour
No condemnation from Trump of the arson attack on Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro's house as yet.. He was at home with his wife and children. Looks rather like that's a green light then as far as Trump's concerned.
So terrifying . Glad all are safe.
Is Bondi going to put him prison for 20 years
Hopefully, he will answer to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the majority of the charges, and not Ms. Bondi.
Pam Will give give him a BJ and a pardon
That was quick. Great!!
Most of these comments are beyond pathetic! Gov Shapiro and his family could have died and here vast majority are spewing garbage. Is this the AMERICAN WAY? INSENSITIVE, THE I DON'T GIVE A SHIT? But hey scumbags like this one could target any of you, BECOME HUMANS, STOP THE FUCKING HATE, GROW UP!
It clearly is the American way.
PA Gov Shapiro's home set fire 2 am w/ wife, children, visitors, 2 dogs - Passover HATE CRIME?: MAGA Cody Balmer, 38 yo, Canby Street, Harrisburg; Facebook profile allegedly anti-Biden posts/. photos of rifles; not pay his bills www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-...
PA Gov Shapiro's home set fire 2 am w/ wife, children, visitors, 2 dogs - Passover HATE CRIME?: MAGA Cody Balmer, 38 yo, Canby Street, Harrisburg; Facebook profile allegedly anti-Biden posts/. photos of rifles; not pay his bills?. www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-...
MAGA man??
No worries. Trump will pardon him tomorrow
wanna bet the q-anons will try to make the arsonist a hero?
Until maga denounces white nationalism, they have a platform to pull this antisemitic BS. Glad that Gov Shapiro and his family are okay.
So has Trump commented on this?
He sounds like one bsky.app/profile/cryp...
I'm not sure about the message. Is it, Trump voters don't like children, are not rich or are not poor? what do you mean exactly?
"He's a very fine person."
Our PA has a MAGA crazy element for sure…
Alluded by the State Police? 😎
Guaranteed maga lunatic
Why ANYONE would want to run for a political office right now is beyond me. The right-wing trumper cult is every bit as crazy as he is. He gave them PERMISSION to do this shit.
Deport him to El Salvador, he's a terrorist.
Thank G-d no one was hurt. I’m so glad he and his family got out safely. Please call it what it was .. hate crime against him and his Jewish family on passover. It was attempted murder, and whomever is responsible for this henious act should be charged as such. 2am innocent people are sleeping.
Terrorist.
MAGA Domestic terrorist/criminal inspired by felon Trump.
This Cody kid is not very well educated, is he?
Like every Trump fan!
"Therefore prophesy and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people; and I will bring you into the land of Israel.'"Ezekiel 37:12
His post doesn’t even make sense. I love these angry people do zero research (with reputable sources) on what they’re mad about. I guess if Sally at Chevron is saying it then it must be true. Too much microplastics in people’s brains.
Bondi should charge him as a terrorist!
www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-...
Habeas or straight to El Salvador?
Proud Boy, incel, Oath Keeper, and/or Jew hater?
Yes
Bet you will never see Pam Bondi file domestic federal terrorism charges against this guy.
Ask your friends, the free Palestine ones. They don’t seem to like those Zionist people.
💯
He is a fellow MAGAt!
trump will invite him to the WH and give him the presidential medal of freedom
Yea…. Trump bad. It’s trumps fault. Yea. Right on. 🤦🏻♀️blame Trump for everything. It will make you feel better for a few minutes. Or …..get with reality and ask your free Palestine friends why they don’t like Josh Shapiro!?
I keep seeing reports that MAGA is disappointed in Bluesky. They claim they keep getting blocked. Cue the Victim Serenade. Except here, it's individuals doing the blocking, of boring knuckleheads like this dude. You're not blocked bc of a class you belong to, but because you add nothing.
Trump has done nothing but spew hate and lies his entire adult life.
Don't blame one, 49 other governors, some of which share same view
oh buddy, this isn’t going to age well. Also Free Palestine.
lol. Reality and Maga has never met.
*have
Pardon him after he's convicted.... unless he only gets state charges!
I bet you he's a MAGA and proud of it, until someone on the left has the gumption to take him out.
So Pam, is this terrorism or not since it’s not at a Tesla dealership?
Sounds like Republican Terrorism…
THIS IS HATE PLAIN AND SIMPLE & I am Glad they caught him! However, also Concerning is Trump playing a 'False Flag' game with Jews and Muslims in this country...trying to incite one group against another...Killing Two Birds with One Stone...Let's NOT Play into that strategy people!!
Glad they caught him...would like to hear the motive.
🥶🍑?
America is turning into a banana republic ?
a direct attack from maga
Attempted murder for sure
Paywall don't bother.
It's a safe bet that the person who set the fire while the governor and his family slept voted for Trump.
Glad everyone got out ok
This guy looks like Steven Miller in a hoodie.
the republicans in congress are responsible for letting this mess continue. they are the primary criminals behind this and they can stop it now with impeachment and conviction!!!!!!!!!!
Let’s guess he is a dumper
You can almost say for certain (based on a very recent history of him doing so) that the President will somehow make this whole thing worse. A simple "Our thoughts are with the Governor and his family. Violence against ANY elected officials will be met with swift justice." would suffice but yeah 😒
LOCK him up and throw the MF🗝️ away
Gee during Passover? Honor and respect of other religions. So how does cult make America great again?
www.timesnownews.com/world/us/us-...
Curing the Tsar's son.
Is he one of those poor forgotten guys they keep telling us to feel sorry for? GMAFB
Where's the antisemitism outcry from Trump and DOJ? Here, you have a crime of violence--a hate crime--against a Jewish family and apparently it's ok to try and kill Jews as long as they're Democrats.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
Add Donald J. Trump to the list attached. He NEVER told white supremest’s at any of his rallies or David Duke who endqorsed him, nor M.T. Greene, J. Jordan, Musk, etc…to get lost because he knows without racists and Jew haters (who occupy the same vessel) he’d lose the majority of his base support.
Yep. First thought I had was if he'll receive a pardon.
He’ll probably be given a spot in dumbF’s administration.
For sure. Just when you thought they couldn't sink lower and be more despicable.
"Antisemitism is when you criticize an authoritarian regime committing crimes against humanity, not when you try to murder a Jewish family for being Jewish." - The Trump Regime, presumably.
Nazis hate Jews
On Passover.
Yes!
Bet this won’t be treated as anti-semitism by the current administration.
Call ICE?
He’s a white Christian Republican who voted for Trump, yes?
Why yes! How’d you know?😉
White ”Christian” Republican.
Why is it always some social reject named Cody?
Does Pennsylvania have the death penalty? If so and convicted, make an example of this Trumptard. It's time to let MAGA know that we've had enough of their shit. We can set up an express lane for them.
so he’s a terrorist faking the death penalty right. ??? we need more brave luigis
At least hes not MS-13. I hear they are in league with Satan
gofund.me/2e70c04b
I must be in some sort of mental shock as my heart is unable to express the words needed to acknowledge this vile act ... or am I just so heartbroken by it all, unbelieving that this could be a possibility ... and even more so, "leader" of the not-so-free country of the world, ignoring it all ... 😞
Burn a Nazi car - terrorist- 10yrs Burn a Democrats house down- Hero's welcome by the Grand Wizard and a pardon. Mad MAGA domestic terrorists.
I wonder if Bondi will send him to El Salvador
Don't tell me... MAGAt, right?
It’s ok everyone. No Teslas were harmed
Was he hard to find, with all the Red Hats in Pennsylvania?
So we're at the brown shirts firebombing stage of Trumps neo-nazi'ism. Well all fucking reichty then.
Melania sends prayers.... #TrumpIsShit
