DID THEY TRY TO KILL TRUMP?

Sic semper tyrannis

Did he have blood coming from his whatever?

Staged and very poorly staged at that.

Who is they

Alok

He was grazed on the right side of his ear by some fragment - the knuckle dragging attendees just sat there. Will this change the upcoming RNC convention? I bet he blames Biden for this!

WOAH WTF BIG news omg

Did he fall on his ear and get cut, or did he get shot? Seeing different speculation on different sites...

Trump is fine and Richard Simmons is dead? There is no justice in this world.

If you are going to shoot at Trump you need to ACTUALLY KILL HIM.

Now he just gets to get to milk this for sympathy and increase his chances of winning.

Not to be a conspiracy guy....but Show us the shooter. Someone on twitter called this an old WWE razor blade stunt. Call me wrong. Why did Tucker have this picture like 12 minutes after this happened? Trump's wanted Melania to be a Jackie O. figure in 2016. Him pumping his fist like that... very planned out feeling. Happy to be wrong here. Don't want anyone getting shot!

Trump survives, yet Dr. Ruth and Richard Simmons have not. 🙁

Hail Satan!

I heard pops on the video, so yeah, a gun.

So, no suspect in custody?

Clearly it was Biden, making the most of his newfound immunity.

Who is the suspect? It's still too perfect for me. It's exactly the kind of martyr-y stunt he'd cook up!

Here's a three minute video of the shooting.

There are screams, I hope no one else was injured or killed.

Why would anyone think this is staged? He’s one of the most hated people in the US in a long time. I’ve always been surprised it’s never happened before

R12 they didn’t get assassinated. They died naturally.

I hope he gets an infection and dies.

If he thinks someone's willing to take a shot at him now, just wait if he wins and starts up with his batshit insane policies his people are claiming they're going to put in place. I hope every fucking day for the rest of this campaign he's scared out of his wits he's about to be shot at any second.

If he was hit in the ear, maybe he's deaf now. Ha, ha, ha.

FALSE FLAG! FALSE FLAG!

Why should right wingers be the only ones who can say that?

Odd, isn't it?

R17 that's like a BB gun or something small, no way that's a real gun no one ran away like they were scared for their lives.

[quote]Who is the suspect?

Well, Melania just flew off to Slovenia with big giant kid, so all eyes are on those two.

R13? I would bet a lot of money that the "shots" you heard were firecrackers. Real guns are very, very loud. When I fire mine at the range, I have to wear noise-muffling headphones [bold]and[/bold] earplugs to protect my ears.

In addition, I sincerely doubt that anyone in Butler, PA wants to see Trump dead.

[QUOTE]Why would anyone think this is staged? He’s one of the most hated people in the US in a long time. I’ve always been surprised it’s never happened before.

But he’s also one of the most well-protected people in the US. They had soldiers on standby in full combat fatigues, for Christ sake. It’s a suicide mission. And you’re more likely to end up dead before you can complete your mission, so it’s utterly pointless.

Or so I thought before today.

He’s fine. He sends his hate.

[quote]Melania just flew off to Slovenia with big giant kid

Very convenient alibi, isn't it?

Someone is scared Biden is going to lose.

I don't hear any pops or see anything unusual that warranted the SS response. The dolt is still smirking and waving after the alleged incident.

False flag from the false prophet.

R27- Born and raised in the South and I agree. That sounded a pellet gun to me.

R28 ok? And? Being protected doesn’t change that he’s standing in front of thousands. They don’t pat down the attendees.

R33 the south has what to do with a pellet gun? And you change where you’re born by the day. Look at your posting history.

Just watched a replay. Whole thing looked faked. He wasn't even holding anything to his head to absorb the "blood" behind his ear- which looked to be painted on because it certainly wasn't flowing. He walked off pumping his stupid fist all the way to car, not even an ambulance.

Whatever bitch

R36 because he didn’t expect to be shot? That makes sense he didn’t have anything behind his ear. You make absolutely no sense.

Dey kilt mah orange jezzus

I'm sitting in Hartsfield-Jackson surrounded by a family of MAGAs. I'm trying to determine how they interpret this news.

You can hear the pops but could have been a bb-gun.

STAGED.

The shots came from behind him and to the right. No one was injured behind him because of that but why did all these idiots just stay there? If someone got shot in front of me, I'd be gone.

Publicity stunt for the sympathy vote. Bastard.

I hear heavy breathing from the mouth breather who recorded this magat fap material

They say he's going to be fine. I don't want to hear that!

R35- Liar.

Not sure this was real. Sounds to me like it was staged. Coming right before the Convention. No way Putin would allow it. Hei s probably got some goons there for security in the audience. It isn't only the Secret Service on the stage.

CONVITED FELON Trump.

[Quote] They had soldiers on standby in full combat fatigues,

MARY!

Jesus fuck. The conspiracy theories begin!

Thoughts and prayers!

It is smirking and waving while being dragged offstage by the alleged ss

It's the Reichstag fire all over again.

R53- He would have been shaking and sobbing, the disgusting coward. That proves to me this was staged.

Has anyone woken up Biden to tell him?

Great. Now, he's finally able to enter the stage at his rallies playing this like the NY born and raised thug that he is.

There's a close-up photo on the Meidas Touch Twitter post, and Dump's ear looks mighty fucking intact for having just been "shot".

Also, they should've hired James Cameron to direct the cast of paid extras on how a "panicked crowd" acts when gunfire is heard. Hint: you will use children as step-ladders in order to get the fuck out of there.

You had one job ...

Great, now I have to give him sympathy sex

Agree r55

He might not have known what happened r55. It probably happened very fast, and he's already sundowning

[bold"I took a bullet for YOU. They tried to stop me from winning for YOU".[/bold]------->>Wait for it..

Where is Hunter? Just curious.

Fake.

Fuck him and that fist-pumping shit.

His death will be staged to avoid checking in with the parole officer.

“You know what? Tonight, tonight I FEEL LIKE DANCING!”

No wonder he disappeared for 12 days -- he was rehearsing!

Is it too much to ask that we wait for what the secret service has to say before claiming it all was fake? Or is this conspiracy theory land where even if a reliable institution says it was a gun or firecracker it won't make a bit of difference?

If this was real, I would expect it to shove its way offstage and trample others in its path. No smirking and waving.

Dems just helped secure him a win in November. Good job. I see tons of tweets and instagram posts and comments showing support to him, even from Dems. A lot of young white men posting him in their stories

This image will now be a part of history.

If democrats are smart, they'll extend sympathy and absolutely not fuel the inevitable "violent leftist" narrative that will brew from this. Remember the republican baseball game shooting? Don't give them one goddamn sound byte or screenshot to feed the agenda. Just be quiet.

Biden on Friday: gives the comeback speech of his career in Detroit; his poll numbers jump.

Dump on Saturday: Hold my beer...

NBC showing video of the Secret Service after they got to Trump after the shooting. Trumps microphone caught their words.

Trumpers are already saying it was Biden's doing. Regardless of who wins in November, it'll be civil war.

You magats really hate American people

R72 Bitch, please.

Again, where's the "shooter"?!

The secret service agent has a smile on her face

If it was a professional job, Trump’s head would have exploded all over the stage. Damn!

This image is your legacy magat

Yes, apparently,OP.

But to whom do you refer as "they"?

R38, because he wasn't shot, you moron.

Right Wing sites calling it an "assassination attempt"....ruh roh.

I would not want to work the Secret Service detail that has to clean up after this because you know he shit himself.

Fake and staged.

Why did no one in the crowd run away and react? This is exactly how he wants to be depicted. Imperiled, persecuted yet defiant and heroic.

Limp magat parlor tricks

I’ve watched the video several times now.

It looks so fake. The secret service men look fake, nobody is panicking and running off stage, and the whole orchestrated moving him off stage.

Fuck this stupid staged shit

? Why is the female agent smirking?

R3, You can't be that stupid. Hitting an ear is a tad too close for comfort for "staged."

What do these politicians mean by "unacceptable"?!

Political assassination attempts and successes are 100% acceptable to us!

"Hang Mike Pence! Hang Mike Pence!"

Karma, Donnie.

[quote]Again, where's the "shooter"?!

John Miller on CNN just now there is a person in custody.

You can hear the Secret Service say "shooter down."

Where is the shooter??

In a crowd filled with people who would die for their Orange Jesus and who have camera phones?

Right, r87? People directly behind the target, and all they do is DUCK?! The natural response would be to scatter away from the line of fire and scramble over the bleachers.

Staged.

They just crouched down and didn't seem to panic, then the phones all came out!!! You yourself are being shot at and this is how you act? Staged

He looked like he was going to cry. Ha!

Don't know about anyone else but if I am in a crowd and I hear a gun go off I am going to duck if I can't run. Don'ts ee that here. And there was no urgency as they moved h im off stage after they finally got Trump on his feet

Make America Normal Again, lock it up

R54 covered my thought - stinks of a reason to go after Dems (for real, not for fakesies).

R92 the poster who keeps asking about the shooter is an idiot. Clearly they aren’t gonna have all the info to release publicly within an hour. It takes time. Jesus. Gen Z is truly fucked in the head and that poster is proof of it.

Andrew Tate is broken over this.

Thank you Mark Burnett and NBC. Your grift is the grift of a lifetime.

The Secret Service doesn't fuck around. If they are taking this seriously, then it is legit.

This has Steve Bannon's fingerprints all over it.

With his fucked-up apocalyptic vision of "American carnage." These MAGAts are obsessed with blood and guts.

He hatched the plan right before he was carted off to prison.

Shooter DOWN. there is footage

Hutchinson said Trump wanted to fill in crowd space, even if they were armed.

I can't go so far as to accept that the Secret Service would go along with such a scheme, if there were one. [Bold]IF[/bold] there were even a hint that this were staged, as part of follow-up investigation, it would be suicidal for Team Trump.

So, for those of us keeping score:

The left: Trump stole the 2016 election.

The right: COVID is a hoax.

The left: "If Trump tells me to take the vaccine, I'm not taking it." -- Kamala Harris

The right: There are nanochips in the vaccine.

The left: The Hunter Biden laptop situation is a Russian disinformation hoax.

The right: The democrats stole the 2020 election.

The left: Biden's senility is a right-wing conspiracy.

The right: Biden is being drugged before public appearances to seem alert.

The left: Trump staged his own assassination attempt.

-----

Did I miss anything?

Yes ,you missed this

R94, Watch the Zapruder film. Nobody scatters or flees in fear. Some even run towards where they think the shots came from.

It is not human to immediately understand what a surprise moment comprises, what it is you heard or are seeing.

Trump reacted as one would, in shock, wounded, letting himself be handled and moved by others.

Some of you are being Q-level outlandish.

THIS WAS NOT STAGED.

You missed this too

Allegedly they killed the shooter

R112 what does that have to do with this? Stay on topic.

You dare to compare IT to JFK

WaPo writer:

Seal Team 6 - You're Welcome.

The topic is you are dirty tricksters and crooks

I’ve taken over 20 screenshots of men posting this same image. Some Dems. It’s an image of strength according to some.

[quote]I’ve taken over 20 screenshots of men posting this same image.

Why?

R115, Again---being stupid.

I was clearly drawing a comparison of onlookers' reactions to counter a dopey Q-level query as to why aren't the Trump supporters all fleeing in fear.

JFC.

In the Zapruder film, you see FLOTUS scrambling out the convertible in horror and in fear for her life.

Did you miss this detail?

No smirks, and no 👋

r116 The rush of so many (mostly on the left) to call this staged when it comes out that someone actually died and others were injured is not going to look good for the dems, at all. It will only serve to fuel the MAGA cult that their "enemy" (read the left) is evil, violent, and wants them dead. This is why you be quiet until more information comes out.

It could have been a pissed off family member of one his rape vitamins as well.

I’m sure it was staged

My dog died last week and a good friend died yesterday after crashing his motorcycle (yes, he was wearing a helmet - he was a very solid person).

And yet…

Your SCOTUS now says it's Ok if a Prez in 'official action' takes out a political rival. Perhaps Seal Team 6 shooter was having a bad day

Not so funny now is it?? -- Nancy Pelosi's Husband

When is its next visit with the parole officer

Someone in the bleachers behind him was also hit. Reported by ABC news.

I don’t think Trump would be brave enough to agree to a staged gunshot to his ear. He’s a big chicken. Agree it sounded like a BB gun. I’m assuming that kind of gun would be easier to smuggle in?

[quote] It will only serve to fuel the MAGA cult that their "enemy" (read the left) is evil, violent, and wants them dead

Yeah, kinda.

R124- Victims, not vitamins. Shit.

Yeah, good point, apparently he has not stayed out of trouble.

I hate Dave Motherfucking McCormick

R51 Are you telling me it wasn't the lizard people who ordered this?

Well, he purposely set out to incite violence for the past 8 years.

Color me UNMOVED

Get the fuck outta DL Town, you bloody stool.

Oh, 119, that is definitely the "Picture Seen 'Round the World," Internet now, front page of newspapers tomorrow, magazines next week.

"Bloodied but unbowed" (poem "Invictus," 1888).

The shooter didn't have Oswald's skills, dammit.

Some MAGAFrau is on MSNBC is saying a "sharpshooter" killed someone in a water tower.

Another MAGA cult frau is saying she "Wasn't afraid for her life -- only the president's". Also that he "looked very strong".

They're also claiming there were two shooters: one in the (incredibly unsecured) water tower, and another who somehow has not been apprehended.

Trump is all for people having guns.

Un huh

I hope the fat assed coward will be too afraid to leave his Ivey tower now.

Time for him to drop out of the race.

"YEAH, I FUCKIN' DID IT! I'M THE PRESIDENT -- WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO, ARREST ME?"

Apparently a bystander was killed.

A second spectator is in serious condition, per ABC News.

And history is now changed.....Expect Trumps numbers to leap ahead of Bidens. We are fucked.

Of course, the failure will re-inforce the MAGA "Chosen One" belief about Trump.

Did,"they" try to kill it? Notice the phrasing.

Dey try to kill my orange Jesus and still he rises.

The shooter and another rally attendee are dead. I don't think it was staged. But fuck the shooter for having such terrible aim. Now he'll never stop milking this.

If the aim was a little higher the results would have been different. His head was turned in profile.

Watch the Tim Robbins movie, "Bob Roberts", to see how this could be orchestrated complete with a dead "shooter".

Put nothing past them. Maiming or killing a spectator in service to an "assassination attempt" is no problem.

R157- Exactly. I will never be convinced that they didn't stage this. They don't gaf who else gets hurt or killed, as they have already proven on J6.

[quote]Expect Trumps numbers to leap ahead of Bidens.

Who the fuck is going to vote for him now because of this that didn't do so before?

staged

Some people did something…

Hal Walker in "Nashville."

R128 I love when right wingers get all pearl clutching and then you show em receipts

R150, Dump's got all the votes he's gonna get; he's not gaining any democratic voters because of this.

Trump just won the election.

We’re all living in a bizarro simulation to entertain some asshole alien overlords.

R159- No one. No one is going to change their vote at his point. Not after Project 2025 has been revealed.

Assassination attempt = smiles and waves

Too bad.

Reports of a second shooter are very common in the moments after a shooting. They are almost always wrong. This will be a lone nut, as usual.

No one will show up at his rallies anymore.

Crushing disappointment that the shooter wasn't a more accurate shot.

So close. So so close to this being a day of celebration relief and answered prayers.

Crises actors

O is still on X? Strange

I've seen The Parallax View enough times to know that a dead "shooter" at the site means jack shit.

This won't be the last shooter.

It's still possible he has a bullet lodged in his head and it didnt kill him....yet.

[quote]I heard pops on the video, so yeah, a gun.

Sorry. Prematurely opening champagne bottles.

Get ready for the Revolution!!! Be afraid, bombs will happen, don't drink the water, it's not going to be John Wayne you stupid cunts!!!! Let it rip!!!!!

CNN: Shooter was outside perimeter of the event, on the rooftop of a surrounding building:

Will the patsy be a brown person? Any bets?

Several people have reported the same :

Trump just won.

Sounds like the shooter killed himself.

All this joking aside, praying for calmer heads in the coming days but I hear the death knell of American ringing.

R184- The world just saw how hated this mf'er really is and his utterly sick of him we are.

How ^

I am curious to see what the shooters angle will be. Immigrant? Pro-Choice? TranzBinary?

[quote]Sounds like the shooter killed himself.

No, it doesn't. The Secret Service "neutralized" him.

Careful what you say, guys. Secret service, FBI, are listening.

R184- this won’t convert Biden supporters into Trump supporters.

Why did you not phrase the topic as "Assignation Attempt against it at Rally".

? You're abnormal and you hate this country.

"dey try to keel mah orange jezzus, but steel he rises"!

The shooter was outside on a one-story roof and shot him from outside. a rally goer is dead another is in serious condition and the shooter is dead. they had swat on top of the building which is why they could shoot the shooter.

For those of you disappointed in the aim, we'd have a martyr situation I don't think would be what you want for a result.

right, I agree. but this was staged

[quote]Trump just won.

If you call that winning, count me out.

CNN: Shooter was shot and killed by the U.S. Secret Service.

[quote]I am curious to see what the shooters angle will be. Immigrant? Pro-Choice? TranzBinary?

Or a botched professional hit; maybe the 1% really don't want Dump to be "their" president. It's been reported that a lot of big business owners are not happy with him.

r195 Exactly. The democrats would probably never gain another vote because even most moderates would be turned off and call foul. They'd probably just switch to vote 3rd party.

We'll have to see what law enforcement has to say.

[quote]For those of you disappointed in the aim, we'd have a martyr situation I don't think would be what you want for a result.

NOPE. The votes are baked in. No Dems are going to suddenly switch sides and vote for Dump and all the MAGA supporters were already fired up to vote for him anyways.

r202 The option to stay home or vote 3rd party is still there and would be the likely outcome for a lot of them.

Checking if fixing the link and changing it from x to 'twitter' works...

Obama releases a lovely and classy response to all this and Biden is still moot.

^ It works

[quote]The democrats would probably never gain another vote because even most moderates would be turned off and call foul.

NOPE, moderates are not suddenly not going to be turned off, it's irrelevant. If anything they will see a WEAK Dump being carried off stage.

Shooter's dead, a spectator is dead and Trump's alive. No justice.

Trump keeps on having them outside rallies cuz it saves money. But ain't no way the ss allows them to keep on going.... This is one way for the "experts" at the main media to stop going on with Biden and his mental acuity.

r208 You're being very unrealistic.

Dump recently said Mark Zuckerberg is on his prison list if reelected. Zuckerberg is a multi billionaire who can afford to make him "go away", just saying.

Kill him! Kill him!!!

BLEEDING FROM HIS WHATEVER

Dear Lord in Heaven!!!

Did the shooter have three names?

John Wilkes Booth Lee Harvey Oswald James Earl Ray

Some of you need help. I hate Trump but wishing death on him because you don’t agree with his views? Think about that.

Of course.

A professional for a price like that wouldn't have missed.

[quote]Shooter's dead, a spectator is dead and Trump's alive. No justice.

Well, Trump just lost one vote, so there's that.

Vice President Johnson was reported to have suffered a heart attack.

R217- I'm fine with it. The bastard wants us dead.

RUSSHER, IF YA LISSENNNING

R217 MARY!

r217 It's what happens when you're in a cult and claim moral superiority. See: The Spanish Inquisition

Politics in the US has become a religion.

R222 millions to billions around the world want gays dead. He isn’t alone

[quote]Some of you need help. I hate Trump but wishing death on him because you don’t agree with his views? Think about that.

Just thought about it...yep, still disappointed.

Joe finally released something

R227 so that means you’re fair game to be murdered if someone disagrees with you… got it.

[quote] The votes are baked in. No Dems are going to suddenly switch sides and vote for Dump and all the MAGA supporters were already fired up to vote for him anyways.

It's not at the election that this becomes important: it's after he gets in. He has legal immunity and now a good PR excuse to do...well, anything.

I just fucking pray the shooter wasn’t an immigrant.

Politics has become a grift and y'all won't give it up

He wasn't shot. It was teleprompter glass according to David Pakman. Yawn. Next!

R229- Would you also have us mourn the death of Hitler , Putin, or KJU?

Um. It’s not about “his views”. It’s that he’s the front man for a pack of ghouls and as such will be the one to deliver the means to destroy this country’s Democracy, strip us of our human rights and our financial security. He’s extremely dangerous.

R233 but he was still shot at…

Blair White has spoken

he's horrible

Blair. White? Really bitch?

R235 and killing him wont do anything but empower others more. You think killing him makes it go away? Lmao. The lack of education is showing.

It only emboldens the rest and gives an empty spot for someone else to fill. Someone else just takes over the reigns. It doesn’t go away.

r235 The more you people say this, the less I believe it. I am not afraid of this man. I just don't think he's qualified to be president, has a shitty personality, and lacks decorum.

A scratch from a broken glass. What a weakling fatso.

A lot of threads here, so sorry if this has been posted already. Interview of someone outside the rally area where the shooter was. BBC reporter.

Biden needs to go on the news ASAP and wish the orange turd a speedy recovery and condemn the shooter.

[quote]I just fucking pray the shooter wasn’t an immigrant.

Lowly brown contractor working on the rooftop air conditioner up the street, SS shoots him, plants the weapon near his body, et voila -- "the shooter was an illegal immigrant!"

What upsets me more is that fact that we are no different from other nations where politics are like the Wild Wild West.

Oh god you hear the crowd chanting USA! USA! on CNN in replays of Trump being led to the car? Like, wouldn’t they be in stunned shock if they were normal human beings? Animals.

[quote]Biden needs to go on the news ASAP and wish the orange turd a speedy recovery and condemn the shooter.

He's coming on in a few minutes.

Fuck. You

[quote]I hate Trump but wishing death on him because you don’t agree with his views?

It's not about his "views". It's about the threat to our democracy he poses that we hate. It's what he did before and what he'll do again if he's elected that we hate.

[quote]I hate Trump but wishing death on him because you don’t agree with his views? Think about that.

I think about it every fucking day. I’m on vacation in Europe and would have had to find a late night bottle of champagne, chilled.

Joe's speaking now.

Can we make fun of Dumps wound like they did to Paul Pelosi??

Trump and Putin are cancers on the world. They aren't just your annoying Fox News-obsessed uncle who shitposts on Facebook. They are evil to the core.

Billionaires aren’t safe from Putin. The fall out of windows, drink poison tea.

So, if dump gets elected, billionaires aren’t safe.

Why did he keep looking in that direction before it happened? Hmmmmm

r252 Of course. And you'll look equally as shitty and childish. So, if that's what you're going for, knock yourself out.

Remember, if someone tried to kill Trump, there's someone out there wanting to harm Biden or Harris.

Biden was just asked if he thinks this was an assassination attempt.

His answer: "I have an opinion, but I don't have any facts."

Interesting.

r257 That'd be the "threat to our democracy" they're always going on about. They're aware. Trust me.

I don’t think this makes Trump more likeable. It seems more like, you reap what you sow. All he does is threaten everyone and say shit like, “I am your RETRIBUTION.!” Plus he lies non-stop. His words and behaviour are bound to give someone ideas.

How sad Biden had to take a break from his weekend vacation. But at least he had last weekends vacation!!

R258 nothing interesting about it. They cannot just say things without 100% confirmation. He has to wait to get 100% confirmation to be able to call it whatever it was. He can’t just say thanks. Welcome to adulthood.

We know who’ll be winning the Election after this event, the video, and the fist-pumping photo…he’ll be viewed by his supporters as a martyr now. That said, I can’t stand the guy but I wish him well because nobody should have to worry about or experience what happened there.

Oh R243, just fuck off. I’m so sick and tired of everyone telling Biden what he needs to do. Fuck off. Joe Biden can handle himself. Jesus Christ.

Ha Bitches! Sorry I missed, but immunity and all!

I completely agree with R244. They stole a page from Hitler's playbook for 9/1/39.

And this is the same clown who planned and coordinated January 6th. I wouldn't put anything past this mother fucker.

This stunt will sway no democrats to vote for dump

None. Zero. Zilch

Fuck off r263

[quote]We know who’ll be winning the Election after this event, the video, and the fist-pumping photo…he’ll be viewed by his supporters as a martyr now.

His supporters already saw him as a martyr, forsaking his easy billionaire life to run the country. This changes nothing.

Democrats are thinking well, you had it coming. Stop talking crap about everybody, except Putin and despots.

Most Dem's are mad that he wasn't actually shot and killed. Nobody but rabid cultists give a shit. I'm already bored.

I don't feel bad about this one bit. Well, maybe the lack of success in the mission.

R262 It was a simple yes or no question, if it wasn't an assassination attempt, then what else could it have been -- an accident?

Cram your holier-than-thou attitude up your ass.

If anything, it'll damage him politically, at least slightly. My dos centavos anyway ...

The Martyr thing has now power, he already had that with MAGA and no new people are suddenly going to turn MAGA.

Well if this were “staged,” then give forehead gold stars to the 1 or more injured and killed attendees who volunteered their health and lives to help participate in it for him. 🤷‍♂️

Staged.

One spectator dead.

Don’t think so, R263. I don’t think we’re going to sign away our democracy for two decades or more just because of this poorly staged event.

I predict this will start to unravel by the end of the week. Staged event, hired actors, rubber bullets, etc. I wouldn’t draw too many conclusions. These people are terrible at cover ups.

[quote]Remember, if someone tried to kill Trump, there's someone out there wanting to harm Biden or Harris.

Solves the fuck out of the whole succession problem, both sides. Haley v Whitmer is a legit contest.

This election will be decided by people who are neither Dems nor MAGA.

I need the NYTimes graphic on where people were because there was just a guy on CNN saying he was in the bleachers and saw someone go down and another person hit in the hand both to the right of him but I don't see this guy in the video footage. Maybe he was already ducking down. He was wearing a red Brooks Brothers.

So assuming it was just a bullet graze, he will still be out of commission for a few days, bandaged up, looking weak. I am sure KFC will be on overdrive so he will balloon up as well. At least the media will finally get of the bashing Biden mantra for now. Trump will look weak with blood on his angry bloated face with the wind blowing his comb over up in the air.

R279: how do you explain the two reported deaths?

OK, I no longer think this country is salvageable. Too many dumb people here think it was staged. The Left is as fond of conspiracy theories as the Right is these days and that does not bode well for democracy. Time to figure out how to manage surviving America's last days.

R284 You think Dump actually cares about his supporters? Oh Dear.....

R284 Crisis actors

Nobody cares about dead magas.

R284- This was his Kristallnacht. Do you honestly believe that he cares if others get killed in the process?

r285 So, you concede that there are unhinged extremist cult members who believe themselves morally superior on both sides of the political aisle and have finally decided to exit the clown car with the rest of us and just watch the shitshow from afar? Good. Punch and pie in the back.

[quote]NOPE, moderates are not suddenly not going to be turned off, it's irrelevant. If anything they will see a WEAK Dump being carried off stage.

If anything, they will see the irony of an ex-President who recently announced he was going to protect the NRA.

How many thousand of parents of dead children could he have upset?

There just happened to be a great photographer perfectly placed for when he pauses for a photo. Like Trump himself is the goddamn flag being raised at Iwo Jima.

It's just endless chaos with him.

R292- Too perfect, wasn't it?

[quote]he’ll be viewed by his supporters as a martyr now.

“His supporters” aren’t enough for him to win. And anyone who didn’t support him before isn’t going to do so now because of this. He may yet win, but it’s not going to be because of this.

You can see on the footage there were a lot of photographers trying to get close to the action and being held at bay by guys with guns the size of rocket launchers, so there were a limited number of places they COULD stand. Trump does know about camera placement, though, so he probably just picked the likeliest one to get the flag in, and faced it.

r292 Yeah. How is it possible to capture something so perfectly at the perfect time? That has never been done before. Ever.

R285 it isn’t. It’s sad how far down the rabbit hole liberals have gone. There is no saving them. They’re lost causes at this point. The country is about to go red because they can’t see truths.

I just think it’s funny that he was posing and doing a fist pump. Oh please. It’s a photo op.

Here's a comment from the WAPO regarding DUMPS 'injury'. -

Turns out Trump wasn't hit by a bullet. The bullet hit his teleprompter, shattered it, and some of the glass cut his ear.

Kind of karmic, after all the bleating he's done about other people using teleprompters. Still awful that other people were killed/injured.

This is prime takeover time. JD Vance is at the catering table talking about his coup. Look, like everyone else on here, I watch a lot of pro wrestling. This is the theater of the damned. I’ve been put through a table or two in my time, and this is just pathetic. A real man would have captured the bullets, mid air, and made a sandwich…. A damn good sandwich.

Not staged. Do you really think he'd want those bald shots to be televised around the world?

And Tucker had said photo immediately and there's Elon with his endorsement at the ready. I really not a conspiracy theorist but if I wanted to be....

Have we been invaded by the Alex Jones tinfoil hat brigade? Everything is staged, crisis actors sacrificing their lives, fake bullets, all law enforcement and secret service in cahoots? Is this where we are now? This was the place I used to come to get away from the nuts. Hold me, David!

This is indeed where we are now

Michael Musto

What a lousy shot!!!

Musto again

R304- This is exactly the atmosphere that the extreme right have cultivated, but make no mistake about what Trump is capable of. His entire life is one big staged lie. He is most certainly capable of setting something like this up , if for no other reason than to incite more violence from his rabid, inbred cult.

I prefer presidents who don’t get cuts from teleprompter glass.

The Trumper eyewitness interviewed for way too long on CNN earlier said shit like there’s way too much hate and we need to come together as a country. And Trump could be sitting on a yacht in the Mediteranean but is working for our country, instead. Give me a fucking break.

Homeland Security CNN expert Juliette Kayyem just said this was an expert assassin.

[quote]It's just endless chaos with him.

And this is a reminder of what Trump's term was like.

Every fucking day. Every fucking week. We had to wonder what this unstable idiot was going to provoke.

Nuclear war with Iran over Twitter? Pushing world leaders out of the way at a photo op? Melania doing a Marie Antoinette act? It was fucking exhausting and gross and embarrassing.

Staged?

Makes me think, Trump really must be the narcissist he’s described as often—I mean, the guy is financially loaded, old, and doesn’t need this shit and these threats to his life. Why’s he putting himself through all this reelection bid?!

I'm going to stop with the conspiracies but it really is Trump's fantasy drama incident.

R314- It is the deal he made when he took money from dictators.

The picture of him raising his fist with the flag in the background is a little too perfect.

Close but no just deserves. Americans robbed again.

To stay out of prison

I repeat: an expert paid by Big Money wouldn't have missed.

Anyone else wondering what the hell the Secret Service was good for?

R315- Isn't it so very ironic to that Biden is up in the polls and has had such a successful week? Trump is losing . All of them know they are going to prison if he isn't reelected. They will do anything to stay in power .

I agree

No one was paid. A psycho brought a gun to kill him. Period. This isn’t the first time shit like this has happened.

I watched the video boris posted at op, I didn't hear anything other than magat grunting and squeals. 🐽

Biden isn’t even up in the polls. You mean up in the polls in CERTAIN STATES? Yes. But it’s not countrywide. No. I’ve been watching. Stop lying.

R324 is a grown man who doesn’t know there are silent guns and silencers you can attach to guns to make them quiet.

He was shot! The bullet grazed his ear

Better him now than us later.

Trump just claimed on Truth Social that he was shot, it wasn't glass from a teleprompter.

Notice the secret service gave him plenty of time to gather his shoes, and fist-pump the crowd while "conveying strength" and posing for an epic, historic photo.

Remember when Reagan was shot, the secret service had him hustled into the limo and speeding to the hospital in under 5 seconds.

[quote]Isn't it so very ironic to that Biden is up in the polls and has had such a successful week?

Up in the polls? A successful week? Are you nuts?

R330 40 years apart dude. The world is a different place now

Fake news.

That shooter missed him by an inch or less. Wow. What a waste

Kaitlin whatsername on CNN just read a statement from Trump-he did NOT write that himself.

R331 seriously. I’m a Dem and am so sick of Dems lying about this. Biden is only up in specific states. He’s down countrywide. By a lot too.

r320, holding blood capsules and changing diapers.

I am a grown man who heard mouth breathing and squeals while your magat ass fapped to orange fist bumping

[quote]I’m a Dem and am so sick of

Sure, Jan...

R331- Yes, he did but of course the MSM refuses to report that.

The multiple fist-pump photo ops on the way from the stage to the car are beyond sus.

If you've actually just been grazed by a bullet and almost killed, you are NOT in fist-pump mode.

Also, where's the name of the shooter? They had Oswald's name out there in 10 minutes!

R341- Exactly and that really applies to the Bunker Bitch.

R342 laws have changed since 1962. It’s been over 60 years. Welcome to 2024.

Staged.

How is it that those seated on the stage behind donald didn't run for their lives?!

His fist pump was a message of “I’m still here!” And “You failed” and “you can’t bring me down”. The fact that went over a certain posters head… lmao

Smirks and fist bumping

There are people who were there COVERED IN BLOOD but it was staged? It wasn’t. Welcome to real life.

Dems just lost us the win in November. This is so sad.

Thank God he wears a bulletproof vest. A bullet hit him in the chest

[quote][R330] 40 years apart dude. The world is a different place now

So the secret service have gotten worse at their jobs?

I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a hoax, fist pumping POS.

[quote]There are people who were there COVERED IN BLOOD but it was staged? It wasn’t. Welcome to real life.

Correct.

[quote]Dems just lost us the win in November. This is so sad.

Unknowable, but doubtful.

Where's John Hinckley Jr. right now? Maybe he thought he had a second chance to impress Jodie Foster?

My Moneys on Mike Pence of 'Hang Mike Pence " fame

Staged

I'm sure they know who the shooter is already, they just haven't released his name yet

Some people are saying that it is a hoax

This has Erik Prince (Blackwater) all over it

Hey genius at r348 -- it can still be staged even if a few MAGA minions get sacrificed in the process.

The evil fucker just won't die.

Scott Jennings, the Repugnican talking head, is on CNN being holier than thou. It’s sickening. Trump mocked Paul Pelosi after getting fucking hammered in the head.

R360- Thank you. I was just about to post the same.

If Biden ordered the hit, does he have immunity?

Have any Republicans currently in office denounced political violence?

[quote]A bullet hit him in the chest

He would have felt a bullet even with the vest, r349.

R206. You are wrong. Biden is not "moot." His response is nearly identical to the "classy" (as you put it) Obama statement.

Whether it was staged or not, there are going to be voters who think if might possibly have been.

It'll be interesting to reconcile this with adamant opposition to gun control.

[quote]Thank God he wears a bulletproof vest. A bullet hit him in the chest

Motherfucker leave me out of this.

r330 true. Why would SS even allow him to (grand)stand and fistpump before the knew the danger was past?

r346 Idiot. Nothing went over anyone's head as to what Trump intended his pat fist pump to convey. The question is why he was even allowed to convey it vs him being hustled the fuck out of there pronto?

He is too cheap to pay and secure indoor venues, and uses SS but will not pay for private security. Many cities and locales refuse to host him cause they are forced to use their own police and he then stiffs them.

So he held an outdoor rally and a hater took the opportunity. The roof the shooter was on should have been targeted and secured as a risk before the event, but it was wide open. A few attendees saw the guy on the roof and were gesturing and pointing towards it, evidently security did not respond.

I would not have been sorry had the shooter succeeded.

Can't Democrats do ANYTHING right?

The man who shot the shooter and saved Trump. A hottie.

Moot/mute, vat is difference

Love the audio of Trump asking to get his shoes!

Badly staged

T-shirts already selling like hotcakes

Aaaand now they're blaming Biden for all of this.

John Barron and Trump's Other Aliases

A still shows the bullet flying toward Trump

r349 is OP and a major troll.

No fucking way Trump would “express condolences to the family of the deceased.” No fucking way.

r380 r349 OP - Where are you getting those pics from?

He was pumping his fist yelling FIGHT FIGHT to the crowd.

Too soon to politicize this shooting.

[quote] OP - Where are you getting those pics from?

AI

The man did employ a fake Melania for a tarmac appearance on at least one ocassion...

156, I am the least naive political junkie you'll encounter. I don't credit the LHO, Sirhan Sirhan, or James Earl Ray "Lone Shooter" assessments.

TODAY, though? Not staged. Not fake.

Tell me which side would have so staged? Trump couldn't inveigle Biden's Secret Service, and Biden wouldn't want to enhance the sense of invincibility of his opponent.

Trump did not have a vial of blood hidden behind his ear to crush. The shooter wasn't a fake. The dead and wounded weren't "Crisis Actors. "

So let's embrace reality and rationality and not expect Trump to announce JFK, Jr, as his VP.

MAGAs are upset by news that he was hit with glass and not grazed by a bullet.

They don’t like that story.

[quote]Where are you getting those pics from?

Not OP, but:

[quote]MAGAs are upset by news that he was hit with glass and not grazed by a bullet.

Trump said it was a bullet, not glass.

For those saying this is fake, have you seen the statements from Obama, Biden, Trudeau and others expressing disgust at the political violence and gratitude that Trump was not killed? Should we assume they're all in on it and this is a global bit of political kabuki?

They were fooled too.

No, they're taking it as real. Because they're not in on it. What kind of political candidate would fake something like this?

FUCK YOU MAGAT

R396- Trump, that's who.

R394, they wouldn’t be in on some Trump nonsense, would they? In any event, probably some tubby white gun nut took a shot at Trump and he was winged by teleprompter glass. He’s out there reaping the whirlwind. Just remember, it’s too early to talk about gun violence. Don’t politicize it!

Of course Biden, Obama etc have to take the high road.

There is protocol for everything

[bold]UNCONFIRMED video [/bold]of the shooter.

[quote] Dems just lost us the win in November. This is so sad.

WTF do “Dems” have to do with this? And who is going to vote for him because of this now that didn’t already support him?

WHAT KIND OF CANDIDATE WOULD FAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS? A LITERAL FUCKING NAZI SHITBAG.

*sigh!* I give up. I now acknowledge this whole thing was faked by the crack technicians of the Sandy Hook Crisis Actor Theatre Company. ("Fake Deaths, Real Outrage!™️")

I can picture ratfucker Roger Stone and Steve Bannon cooking this up since their only goal is chaos and destroying the political system on behalf of their Russian and Chinese owners. Sacrificing Trump would be no big deal to them.

[quote]WTF do “Dems” have to do with this? And who is going to vote for him because of this now that didn’t already support him?

Just F/F and block that asshole, R402. Don't waste your time with irrational idiots.

Everything with Trump SEEMS fake because he stands for nothing but cruelty and ratings. What’s real with him? What’s fake? Does it matter?

It won't really matter what actually happened each side will have their theories and that is what most will believe.

Just like Sandy Hook, JFK and Paul Pelosi.

Sorry to Zapruder this shit already, but... When they help Trump up, hot Secret Service guy with the dumb haircut picks up Trumps red hat and puts it into Trumps left hand. Then, as heading down the stairs, Trump seems to drop the hat, but Amy Shumer-looking agent stops, picks up the hat and swings it with her right arm around another agent.

Is this proper assassination/hat protocol? Was that the last hat? Look, I made a hat?

Such a letdown. Some people can't do anything right.

Completely and utterly staged Fat fuck

YOU NAZIS SCUM DID NOT DIE. YOU JUST MOVED TO THE US WITH YOUR BULLSHIT.

They’re blaming Biden

[quote]Is this proper assassination/hat protocol? Was that the last hat? Look, I made a hat?

It is when the candidate has told SS that his bald spot is never to be seen.

1. He's like a fucking weed.

2. Satan himself is watching over this fucker.

R413, snowflakes!

R415- Too evil to die.

But of course.

Why reference x as a source? It's not a reliable platform

r409 I was little when Reagan was shot but I remember not even seeing him after he waved and the shots rang out. Of course a car was right there but here we have shots fired, trump is injured and we're all going to awkwardly stand around while he gets his hat and shoes? What is he Auntie Esther who needs to find her pocketbook as well before we can all leave?

If it wasn't staged that was the worst performance that group of agents could have possibly put on short of just watching as someone walked up slowly and stabbed him.

I think their reaction at that point is one reason the whole thing seems really weird.

R419- I only post links to trusted sources that I have spent years vetting.

This is not the time to talk about blame, thoughts and prayers.

R419 ummm what? Lmaoooooo

R421 exactly. That poster just made a fool of himself with that ridiculous comment.

I am the "Not Staged" poster, but even I wonder why the shooter was "neutralized" by the Secret Service instead of arrested, just in case (as might yet be learned) others were involved.

I’m exhausted.

On the spectator that died, was it by a bullet from the shooter, or was it by secret service gun? If it's by secret service , then I am calling this staged .

R426- We are right there with you. Eight years of neverending anxiety, fear, and anger.

[quote]I am the "Not Staged" poster, but even I wonder why the shooter was "neutralized" by the Secret Service instead of arrested, just in case (as might yet be learned) others were involved.

Because he was on a roof with a gun and was shot by sharpshooters.

For God's sake r401, learn to post from X on here! None of your posts are opening.

The Right Wingers say some seriously scary shit on the RW sites.

Um. X is not a reliable platform.

Then I saw a beast come out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads; on its horns were ten diadems, and on its heads blasphemous name[s]. 2 The beast I saw was like a leopard, but it had feet like a bear’s, and its mouth was like the mouth of a lion. To it the dragon gave its own power and throne, along with great authority. 3 I saw that one of its heads seemed to have been mortally wounded, but this mortal wound was healed. Fascinated, the whole world followed after the beast.

But there are people who post on X who are reliable, R432.

Is he dead yet?

R403, Goering and the Nazis were not behind the Reichstag Fire. A deranged Dutch communist set it, much like Kirov's murder in 1934 was not orchestrated by the NKVD. In both instances, however, the Nazis and Stalin used the incidents to enact terror on their nations.

There's the lesson.

R404, It's TRUE! And they're getting sloppy, as I recognize today's "dead" spectator from that Marjorie Gangnam Style School shooting that that Hogg kid has been milking for all it's worth as part of the Leftist Socialist plan to take our guns away!

God bless President Trump, and God bless the 2nd Amendment!

To answer the OP's thread title...

They indeed tried, but...

Trump and the RNC says the convention is continuing as planned.

Not that Trump is that high but for in his Party.

'Evy', a former SS agent is talking to Lester Holt on MSNBC. She's emphasizing the fact that there will indeed be 'copycat' assassin attempts on Trump in the next few months.

I'm sure that has relaxed him completely.

Well, "Evy" sounds stupid and fame-hungry.

There hasn't even been an in-depth investigation, an autopsy, or an identification of the assumed gunman. Yet she's not merely predicting, she's declaring more attempts on Trump will occur because....? And is the President not in her crystal ball?

Sure, there were two attempts on President Ford, but there was only one on President Reagan. Whence, therefore, Evy's basis for her assertion? ("I'll take 'Her Butt' for $600, Ken.")

In your dreams, r444!

Chill, r446, we get some payback for Paul Pelosi.

Will they tell the public who the shooter is by the end of the evening?

I'm leaning towards this being staged.

Trump’s entire Secret Service detail is white-no surprise there.

Too bad the shooter didn't pick a closer roof. Know your limitations.

A lot of woman on his Secret Service team, I guess for once they were not bleeding from their "whatever".

Not if it was Melania, R450.

This scared the shit out of him but he'll NEVER admit it.

R440, that has no relation to this. Attacking the king is about being fucked if you don't kill him because he will come at you. Since Trump was most likely not attacked by his own flock, that phrase has no meaning.

One wonders how a traumatic event effects dementia symptoms.

[quote]The Right Wingers say some seriously scary shit on the RW sites.

Why would you expect anything different, R431? Did you go there thinking scholarly discussions of American politics would be taking place? Here's a hint, stay the hell off of right-wing nutjob websites full of keyboard warriors living in a world of delusion.

You know he's thinking that hat is gonna go to his presidential library

Well, well. The shoe's on the other foot. Making fun of Speaker Pelosis husband for being attacked with a hammer. Fatso has no dignity, class. He'd sell his mother to the highest bidder if the woman were still alive

some people are saying Mom was a ho from the old country

Trump says he ‘felt the bullet ripping through my skin’ in first statement since assassination attempt

R468- Leave Mercedes out of this.

Too bad he’s not dead

I want to thank The United States Secret Service, and all of Law Enforcement, for their rapid response on the shooting that just took place in Butler, Pennsylvania,” Trump wrote.

“Most importantly, I want to extend my condolences to the family of the person at the Rally who was killed, and also to the family of another person that was badly injured. It is incredible that such an act can take place in our country.”

Has Mrs. Alito unfurled her 'Vergogna' flag to express outrage over today's incident?

That statement was obviously written by someone else.

I would like to believe a would be assassin could get so close but Trump is also a messy dramatic bitch and I could totally see him staging this.

Does Trump ever issue a statement without using the world INCREDIBLE.

House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced that his panel will open an investigation into the shooting against former President Donald Trump.

Comer revealed that he has already contacted Secret Service for a hearing on what authorities are investigating as an assassination attempt against the former president.

“I have already contacted the Secret Service for a briefing and am also calling on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to appear for a hearing. The Oversight Committee will send a formal invitation soon,” Comer said in a statement.

I seem to remember somebody suggesting a Second Amendment solution...

R476- Incredibly, no, he doesn't. 🙃

[quote] “I have already contacted the Secret Service for a briefing and am also calling on Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle to appear for a hearing. The Oversight Committee will send a formal invitation soon,” Comer said in a statement.

After getting off the phone with Congressman Comer Kimberly Cheatle said Jesus Fucking Christ, I have more important things to do that appear at your phony hearings.

The memes that will come out about this will be endless until November.

Where did the theory of Trump getting hit by flying glass from the teleprompter come from? I'm not seeing that anywhere else besides here.

Doesn't make sense though as the ear that was facing away from the prompters is the one that got grazed.

R443 do you know what reliable means and what it applies to?

Now the SS is saying that Trump was not hit by a bullet. They think he was hit by broken glass from the teleprompter that was shattered by a bullet. That seems more realistic to me.

It came via Twitter, r482.

Aaaaaand from 50 Cent himself...

But this didn't boost his popularity. Nope. Definitely didn't.

Please have it be true, r484.

[bold]Democratic Democracy died today. [/bold]This was exactly what Trump needed to secure his monstrous victory in November. The scales are tipped. Polls and November will prove it. Every Pro-Trump elected idiot has been on ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, etc for hours, praising Trumps "bravery". He now can say he "risked his life" for the MAGA cause. Our nightmare begins in January.

[quote]Now the SS is saying that Trump was not hit by a bullet. They think he was hit by broken glass from the teleprompter that was shattered by a bullet.

That's what all the initial reports said. Then Trump posted that he was shot through the ear.

R448 oh Jesus Christ, you already thought Trump had this election won prior to this.

The people who hate trump and everything he stands for aren't about to change their minds about him, much less their vote. And many more people hate him than like him.

[quote]He now can say he "risked his life" for the MAGA cause. Our nightmare begins in January.

Risk your life for 30% of the country and you'll still only get 30% of the country voting for you.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr said Saturday night that Donald Trump’s “courage” was “inspirational” when he was shot in an assassination attempt.

The independent presidential candidate, whose father and uncle were assassinated in the 1960s, said that he had reached out to Trump, 78, following the shooting.

“I sent a message out, a note out to President Trump tonight and to his family, telling him how relieved I am that he was not more than badly injured, wishing him quick recovery, thanking him for his career during that event, which was inspirational,” Kennedy said in an interview on “Hannity.”

DL will be wrong again. This day marks the day Trump won his second term in office.

Go cash your social security check and send it your money.

R494- No, it only demonstrates how hated he is. I am actually surprised this didn't happen sooner.

[quote]Robert F. Kennedy Jr said Saturday night that Donald Trump’s “courage” was “inspirational” when he was shot in an assassination attempt.

What exactly is courageous about getting shot?

At least Biden spoke to him.

R497 it’s the way he handled it. At least attempt to think before posting.

[quote]Democratic Democracy died today.

That's odd, it didn't end when I got shot and I was more than just a washed up former president at the time - JFK

And so it begins...

[quote][R448] oh Jesus Christ, you already thought Trump had this election won prior to this.

r502 is for r490.

You mean the way every other presidential candidate since the beginning of time would have handled getting grazed in the ear?

r491 It's the ones who are on the fence you have to worry about. Especially if they have a crazy large following and happen to be trending at this time specifically because of this.

Paw Paw Biden is cutting his weekend vacation short and going back to the White House on Sunday. Why can't Grampa have a quiet weekend doing nothing like he did last weekend? Poor Paw Paw.

Yes dahling, but is it legitimate theater?

I can only hope the FBI isn’t pulled into a cover-up over the identity of the shooter. We need to know everything,

I can't wait to see the reaction at the convention when he steps up to speak. It's going to be fantastic. We support you President Trump! God was with you tonight!

Was there some nail polish remover in the ambulance for The Turnip to remove the paint from his ear?

R513- It wouldn't matter if they do. The RW always tell on themselves. Pathological projection.

Some of you are so ridiculous. After Trump picks a VP, the Olympics and Biden is replaced, this story will die quickly. Mass shootings usually last 3 days tops. Once the shooter is identified what else is there to say.

[quote][R497] it’s the way he handled it. At least attempt to think before posting.

Wait.. what's up with the shoes? Was he doing this barefoot

Trump is the one who has spent nearly ten years whipping these MAGA nutcases into a frenzy. I’m surprised something like this hasn’t happened before. Today it’s Trump, but tomorrow it could be any other politician. Columbine was the first big school shooting and has been followed by dozens of others. This won’t be the last political shooting. Copycats will follow.

R505 you know how everyone would handle it? Most never had to deal with it. Dont speak what you don’t know.

This could've been such a beautiful day. ::thisclose::

Oh, well. 114 days left to try again. 🫡

Good Lord. Who the fuck is going to support or vote for him because of this that didn't do so already? Especially when his wounds were so superficial?

[quote] this story will die quickly. Mass shootings usually last 3 days tops.

That's because, unfortunately, school shootings are so common. Attempted assassinations of presidents, former presidents, and presidential candidates are not common and are long remembered.

CNN is reporting that the shooter didn't have identification on him.

R532- How dare you! His ear is nicked! Nicked!! It could get infected!

CNN: FBI says they have the identity of the shooter, a 20-year-old man who grew up and lived in a Pennsylvania town not far away.

Hercules is now peddling shirts for the Trump Campaign.

Shooter was a 20-year-old guy who lived in the area, per CNN

Bless his heart for trying.

A photo of the dead shooter has leaked. Search “everything about him” on Twitter. Poor dumb kid.

The media isn't going to know what to do with themselves now that they have some good old-fashioned, Trump-related chaos to cover again rather than 24/7 analysis of every breath and step Joe Biden has taken since the debate. Sleep well, Mr. President. Its well deserved.

If at first you don't succeed............

If that witness account is accurate, then the secret service guys should be fired.

Guy said he kept pointing to gunman but they didn't do anything.

CBS, NBC and ABC stayed with the shooting all evening.

His parents must be so proud

I wonder if he fears that this is just the beginning of this for him?

When so many people HATE him, what will each new day bring? 🤔

They need to lionize this kid like they did that Babbit cunt.

Meanwhile, Van Jones is on CNN right now, struggling to hold back tears for Trump. " I am so glad that Trump is alive tonight." What a little bitch.

He's gonna be so paranoid

Trump looked like a scared little pussy!

Van Jones is on CNN ladling on the syrupy rhetoric. Get a clue, Van. This is not a turning point, this could be the tipping point.

This failure shouldn't discourage others from trying.

Let's not forget that Iran has placed a bounty on Trump for killing their general.

R552- So much has happened that I actually had forgotten about that.

They said the shooter was 130 yards away from the stage.

Omg, those secret service agents are so hot!

Those next to him, I wonder if they will be rewarded for their protection.

Nope, they said 400 yards

God he and his base piss me off. They're interviewing all kinds of MAGATs and they're all horrible people.

R555- I'm sorry but nothing and no one within a mile of him is attractive to me.

Don't take a pistol to a bump stock party.

nigga missed the shot like shaq at the free throw line

I like the ss agent who was holding his hat

Do you think Trump shit his diaper?

I wonder if Trump diarrhea'd all over the Secret Service?

Shooter is ID as a 20 year old male from Pennsylvania.

Why don't they put him behind bullet proof glass enclosure?

You know how drummers are sometimes enclosed... just wondering...

Motive?

What kind of building was he on and how did he get up there without running into any police, security, or "good guy with a gun" to stop him? The witnesses said he was up there for several minutes at least, just hanging out.

The face of a fucking pussy:

He's not looking so tough like he did in his mugshot, is he?

Maybe he was paid? Like, I'll do this for you but your must take care of my family after I die etc ..

They said the building is a manufacturing plant.

Not paid, his Social Media post are pointing to previous threats.

R568 Marco Rubio was correct Trump's hands are tiny

R569- Don't worry! When I am reelected I will give you a pardon! I promise!

The Loony Toons Right Wingers are now pointing fingers at the head of SS and her qualifications.

Press Conference coming up.....ABC NEWS.....

They saw him.

Compare the he two statements:

Part 2 continued here when this one is full.

White shooter.

Welcome, to your Reich, Herr Turnip.

The pig was shot on a farm. Oh, irony.

Pathetic aim.

New book says Trump feared assassination by Iran in revenge for Soleimani killing

What is the kids name?

They are not going to ID the shooter at this time per FBI

I joked with my mother saying we'd be seeing that fist-pump on shirts, cups and other collectibles before the day ends by his campaign or MAGA followers and there it is at R537. The grifted masses willing to spend their own money to benefit their grifter-in-chief. Never miss an opportunity, I guess.

[quote]They are not going to ID the shooter at this time per FBI

So we don't know yet if he identified as male.

Unlikely if the guy was from rural Pennsylvania but the best thing for this nation would be for the guy to be Iranian or Iranian sympathizer.

Suspicion everywhere:

[quote] New book says Trump feared assassination

Trump fears assassination every day. From Putin.

Fail. Shit.

[quote]The Loony Toons Right Wingers are now pointing fingers at the head of SS and her qualifications.

R574 Have they called her a 'DEI' hire yet because everyone who isn't a straight, conservative white male aren't ever qualified to hold positions of authority. Someone just put them there to no look sexist or racist.

Those three female Secret Service standing outside Trump's vehicle after he was put inside really do look quite ridiculous. One can't get her gun in the holster, one is putting on her sunglasses and the third with the long ponytail is flipping her head from side to side so much. It really looks like a SNL skit.

This was some staged covfefe! This fucking coward with his fist in the air?! Please...complete bullshit.

Not that I though she would be attending any rallies to begin with but there is no way Melania will go to any now.

If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do suck seed!

I'm going to finish off this thread continue at part 2

R598- Thank you.

So sad and scary. 🫣

R595, I really don't care (if he is shot). Do U?

[quote] Not that I though she would be attending any rallies to begin with but there is no way Melania will go to any now.

She probably put the hit on him.

A Sashay Nation attempt!

"We never miss twice."

We lost the White House today. Get ready to pack. Trump is going to win this while we have President Magoo who can't even spend two fucking weekends in a row campaigning.

They have ALL of our DNA. Remember that.

I got nowhere else to go!
