    Sometimes I wonder if this is all a setup. Sadly.

      It absolutely is. Both times they were his own voters. Not some communist immigrant transgender drag queen.

        Not to mention, the temporal proximity of this “assassination attempt” to the Roberts SCOTUS leak is, shall we say… suspicious.

          That turned out to be fake.

          Edit - I’m not 100% sure it’s fake now because I read an article that he was all over the map politically. So, who knows.

      Here’s what I find especially odd. Trump’s trip to the golf course was apparently “unplanned” and “not on his official schedule.”

      https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trump-s-golf-outings-have-long-concerned-secret-service/ar-AA1qFI9I

      Yet the gunman had been there for 12 hours:

      https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/16/politics/trump-assassination-court-developments/index.html

      Was he just waiting there in case Trump randomly decided to go golfing that day?

        That honestly wouldn’t surprise me. If you’ve seen the guy’s Tweets and YouTube videos, he clearly wasn’t very smart or sane. Dude literally travelled to Ukraine to try to “help.”

      #OperationConserve = #OperationKonserve the first attempt didn’t work as they wanted with Biden dropping out and because they have no original ideas…

    After a school shooting in Iowa last January:

    “So surprising to see it here. But, we have to get over it. We have to move forward.” -Trump

    So he should take his own advice and get over it.

      Let’s hope “Storm the Capital II: Electric Boogaloo” falls short of the original, too.

        If I was a Capitol Police officer, it sure as fuck would go differently, if you know how I mean.

        Oh, it will. If they march on the capitol again, Biden will call in the national guard.

        Trump didn’t do that when he was at the helm because he wanted them to succeed.

        I almost want them to try again so this time an example can be made of them, since our legal system refuses to hold extremists accountable for their own actions.

          Well they’ll probably have a better police presence to start. But I wouldn’t be surprised to find the NG military police battalion in northern Virginia in a ready state too. I would be doubly unsurprised to find the 101st alert brigade restricted to base on January 6th.

          There’s an entire force continuum of Find Out that most people aren’t even aware exists.

        Nobody even shot at him. He was not in danger. But maybe he will still fake an injury, we’ll have to wait and see.

      The first one set off an orgy of corporate news garment-rending for almost a full week which goosed the RNC views as well.

      Don’t think it was nothing. (Even though it was, technically, nothing.) Your Favorite Teacher From Elementary School’s Fascist Racist Elect-A-Rapist Movement benefitted handsomely from that one.

    Other presidential candidates in the past had topics like “society”, “taxes”, “peace”, “employment”, etc.

    Trump obviously only has the topics “immigrants bad” and “I’ve been shot at”.

    If there’s a third one with a conservative background can we start making theories about him hiring them?
