      then either the shooter is incredibly accurate or trump is incredibly trusting…

        Or, Trump, a known participant in previous conspiracies (to overthrow the election), who is also extremely incompetent, may have done a false flag and flubbed it.

        Or, one of the most hated presidents of all time had an asassination attempt. Also plausible.

    Cannon dismissed the documents case Monday morning. That was some slick cover. (I’m not saying the shooting was fake, but I am saying that she probably wouldn’t have done that in a calmer news cycle.)

      “There’s an armed man on the roof!”

      “Sir, those are our snipers they’re for your safety.”

      “No look, over there!”

      “Sir I need to focus please go away.”

      I suspect dudes with guns are common at his rallies so they didn’t think anything of it. Trump on Jan. 6th said something like “they’re not here to hurt me.

    i wonder who’s planning the next attempt. it seems like now would be the opportune time, what with the keywords ‘assassinate trump’ flooding the internet currently.

      I’m sure they’ve plugged any possible holes in their security detail now. I was just thinking today that it’s a shame that we, the American people, have to continue paying to protect this guy for the rest of his life, when he has done nothing but harm to our country for his entire existence.

      He was American, they don’t require gun proficiency to buy a gun, as a consequence few knows how to actually hit stuff or how to maintain they guns.

      Take bump stocks, the rednecks are so obsessed with full auto that they ignore that you don’t hit squad with ordinary full auto and then introduce an unstable stock.

      I’m not a good shot, but 400’ is what? 120-130m? Shooting a diemaco c7 prone, even I will hit +9/10 when firing at center mass with iron sights at that distance. How do you miss that shot thrice?

        Hey now dont slander us Rednecks, dipshit white trash suburbanite yuppies are obsessed with full auto. Sure full auto can be fun at a range but its worthless for anything other than turning a bunch of random shit downrange into past tense. Hell most folks I know prefer shotguns and bolt action rifles for hunting and general shooting.

        Be 20 years old and know that you will be killed as soon as you pull the trigger if you aren’t killed at any point during setup. I can’t even imagine the pressure that dude was under.

        I have to imagine a person in such a situation would experience an adrenaline spike which makes for unsteady hands.

    This is not a meme. This is just an excuse to talk politics in a meme community. I’ve blocked all political communities, but people keep posting these low quality posts to talk politics. Why are people upvoting this shit?

      you are absolutely right and the rules of this community wven state “no politics” so you have a right to be upset here. pretty disappointed with the mod team.

      As much as you wish (and I do too), it’s impossible to avoid politics, especially when something significant happens. It’s heavily entwined in every single person’s existence.
