BREAKING: NEWS ON TRUMP SHOOTING:

The District Attorney of Butler County PA tells ABC News that as of this moment one bystander is “confirmed dead,” and “possibly a second” bystander confirmed dead as well.

District Attorney Richard A. Goldinger also says the shooter is dead.

It’s kind of a calm reaction by everyone, including the crowd.

I most dislike that the possibility of this being staged does not seem far-fetched to me.

Not saying it was or wasn’t, just that on a personal level I’m so jaded by all the bs from ‘media’ of all types that it wouldn’t surprise me, and that saddens me about me.

Same. The last 8+ years have jaded me into being something I don't particularly enjoy.

I have heard ZERO about this being a possibility so spare us with the "a lot of people thought...".
It's been a fairly common topic on conservative talk radio.
Democrats drinking the blood of children to become immortal or some shit was also a "fairly common topic on conservative talk radio".
Guess I missed that episode.

Just saw an interview with a medical professional who was in the crowd and treated the person who was shot in the head. Brutal.

So..... WAY too soon to make guesses and assumptions but one of my thoughts is will the RNC be cancelled or postponed - or will they carry on?

Idiot me posted that and then my very next thought was people should probably stay off Twitter/X right now because it's an absolute shit show.

This is pretty fucking bizarre to me....
People standing around right near the building just gabbing away while drinking beers - like it's no big deal and just another day in the USA. While the the alleged/assumed shooter/person is laying apparently dead on top of the structure - and there are no law enforcement people to be found near the structure?

A sad day all around. Hats off to the Secret Service for getting Trump secured and out of there. What a mess. Logging off everything until tomorrow. Hopefully more accurate details will emerge by then.

What was Trump yelling when he was walking off the stage? Fuck or Fight?
I cut him some slack if he was just shot but "fight" may have been the worst thing he could have yelled.

“I'm grateful to hear that he's safe and doing well. I'm praying for him and his family and for all those who were at the rally, as we await further information. Jill and I are grateful to the Secret Service for getting him to safety. There's no place for this kind of violence in America. We must unite as one nation to condemn it."
