Assassination attempt of Trump in PA

[Anomalism]

Why would you let a 20 year old registered republican gun nut who used an AR-15 to shoot at Trump affect who you voted for?

I don't know. I guess you'll just have to wonder after Trump wins.

150 yards isn’t long range.

Long enough that even trained military personnel only have to hit about half the targets at that range to qualify.

This guy wasn't an army trained soldier.

Seems like a pretty big miss.

The shooter is Chinese.
Are democrats working with the Chinese to put democrats in permanent power?

Aged poorly. He’s a white republican who likes guns and hunting. Whoops.

Trump on school shootings: "It's horrible but we have to get over it."

Nice edited clip. He had spoken for several minutes prior about how it was horrible what happened and that we have to do more to prevent it. Just kinda left that out, huh?

DEMs should not approve arms to trannies and home O imports. Big GOVT should lock the school doors. Rooms locked down. Armed guards like Congress has? Restricted access? Who knows.

Instead of lock downs, why doesn't this nation have enough sense to return to an era that worked ?? It should be super easy to follow the trails up to what has led to all of this now.

Problem: People living in LA LA land can't be honest anymore. They are living lies that get people killed, and they just flat don't give a damned about it anymore.

Not much information there.

Informed which police? How many? Where were they standing? How long before the first shot did he warn them? What was their capability and timeline to turn a verbal warning from some attendee into guns on target?

I think it does in the interim, yes, and I think this is probably the worst possible thing that could have happened to the Biden campaign, but anyone who believes Trump can't lose now because of this incident is counting their chickens before they hatch.

I mean...

It was maybe a little hyperbolic, but just a little.

Sorry it didn’t turn out to be a gay trans person from Seattle but instead a Pennsylvania redneck gun enthusiastic registered as a GOPer.

That donates to Democrats?

 

[AZrailwhale]

I don’t think calling for the assassination of his political opponent is an official action. So you are wrong. But regardless, it’s certainly a “high crimes and misdemeanor” so Biden could be impeached, tried, and thrown out of office. Then he would lose his immunity.

As if that hedging somehow makes "get over it" any better. Come on.

NBC is reporting they have found one political donation made by the shooter and it was a $15 contribution to the Democrat run ActBlue website in 2021.

Thomas Crooks, who donated 15 bucks to Act Blue, is a 69-year-old Democrat who lives in Pittsburgh and just happens to have the same name as the Republican who shot Trump.

Amazing how she spoke with such certainty when she had zero idea

Not “looks Chinese” but “the shooter is Chinese”

It must be kinda nice to be so sure of everything you say even when it’s usually wrong…

I don’t think calling for the assassination of his political opponent is an official action.

But what if he just says it is, and writes in on officlal letterhead, while giving orders to the people under his official control?

 

[airplanemechanic]

Trumpers don't have a leg to stand on.

Party of all presidents with attempted assassinations in the last 40 years?

Every single one was a republican. In fact, with the exception of JFK, every president assassinated or attempted assassinations were all republicans. Lincoln, Reagan, and Trump.

But yea, it's the republicans that are violent. Sure......

What a luxury it must be not to be burdened with "reason" or "evidence" or "shame".

Aside from the fact that it should have been one of the most intensely watched surfaces half a dozen people were screaming about a guy crawling on the roof with a gun.

I mean untrained civilians spotted him. How the hell did the pros miss?

Local police and secret service both were being told about this while he was making his way to his position. Seems to me this guy should have been dead long before he even pulled the trigger on the first bullet.

This is a real black eye for the secret service.
