Assassination attempt on trump

[Overlander]

This is not good.

And yes, my first thought was too bad they missed.

My second thought was that the right is going to run wild with this.

My 3rd thought, misdirection

[Overlander]

Bye Randy.

Please?

This is going to be a boost for Trump's chances to win.

He's at home loving all this attention and everyone talking about him like he's a bad ass for surviving an assassination attempt.

[pdub]

I don’t think it’s a good thing at all.
But it all came from him.
He tried to ruin the process of our Democracy.

So no I think assassinations are bad and not how our country should run.
Still bummed it missed.

If you are aiming for a head shot….put the dot on the eyebrows

Yes.

That's one of the things that makes me question if the goal was to actually kill him.
Witnesses claim "things" were shot and "shattered". Bad aim or intentional?
He claims he was shot in the ear. Maybe. Probably. I'm not 100% convinced. I'm overthinking it but seems like a weird angle for him to have been shot with the wound he received.

Supposedly glass fragments. They are blaming the teleprompter, but his head was turned away from it. Nothing behind him. Weird that he tweeted all Hell was about to be loosed. If this is a Stone rat$&-+, we need to better on our game than 2000. Or 1972. Or 2016. Or 2020.

Right out of the Stone/ Bannon/ Jones playbook?

A witness told the BBC he saw a man with a rifle crawling up a roof while Trump was speaking and tried to alert law enforcement.

The witness, who gave his name only as Greg, said he was listening to the speech outside the rally site when he saw a man "bear crawling" up the roof of a building about 50 feet away with a rifle.

“We’re pointing at him. The police are down there, running around on the ground. We’re like ‘Hey man, there’s a guy on the roof with a rifle,’" the witness said. The police "did not know what was going on,” he added.

"I'm thinking to myself why is Trump still speaking? Why have they not pulled him off the stage?" he said. "Next thing you know five shots rang out."

NBC News has not independently confirmed the details he provided to the BBC.

He said the gunman was on the roof for 3 to 4 minutes and that police might have had a hard time seeing him because of the slope of the roof. He said the Secret Service later went up on the roof, after the shooter had apparently already been shot.

Sniper/s waited until shooter shot.
Also, clearly they were visually engaged with the shooter. Why no immediate removal of Trump?

Randy, you seem well connected, any truth to the rumor that the Black people the Trump campaign pays to sit behind him at public events are asking for a 200-300% raise?

Bidens quote on July 8th at a donor meeting:

"I have one job, and that's to beat Donald Trump. I'm absolutely certain I'm the best person to he able to do that. So, we're done talking about the debate, it's time to put trump in a bullseye"

Figure of speech? Hopefully. But when trump gets shot 5 days later....

For fucks sake, you're literally just parroting right wingnut posts off Twitter.

Horrible choice of weapon for that shot.
Amateur or stooge?

Federal investigators have tentatively identified the man who shot at Trump today in Pennsylvania: He is about 20 and is from Pennsylvania, according to five senior U.S. law enforcement officials briefed on the matter.
