Either one. This pattern and practice is of great concern. |
| Has anyone heard anything about the individual killed? The tape on CNN does not seem to show any injuries in the people sitting behind Trunp. |
| The conspiracy theories are going to be nuts in the coming weeks. Everyone looking to make a buck will have content for months to come. |
They missed a guy climbing a white building onto a white roof. |
People want this chaos that we have now to stop. |
Is this a weak rallying cry? Ok. Try harder because it's not very moving. |
Watch the video. There was no glass flying. He grabbed his ear before we even heard the shots. Why do you want to insist that he wasn't actually shot? |
This guy and his friends saw him climbing on the roof with a rifle and tried to warn police and SS. https://x.com/sharpfootball/status/1812265909727396107?s=46&t=5-_G0qAHathVgXO_Bqs8pA It’s a white guy. He’s dead. |
My guess is that there will be a foreign nexus. |

The trolls are out in full force tonight. I don’t believe for a second this is garnering more votes for Trump. Presidents and prominent political figures are always at greater risk for assassination attempts. That’s not news.
No political figure has ever stoked as much violence as Trump. He’s supported neo nazis, undermined our elections, and stoked violence against his own VP and political candidate. So no, I don’t feel any sympathy for him. What goes around comes around. |
Someone posted a Twitter link to the video of someone giving a victim CPR and then a victim getting hauled out |

Scalise has spoken out. WSJ:
House Majority Steve Scalise (R., La.,) who was himself seriously injured during a shooting in 2017, criticized Democratic leaders' political rhetoric in his statement Saturday night. The shooter in the 2017 attack, who was killed by police, had belonged to several anti-Republican groups and volunteered for Sen. Bernie Sanders’s presidential campaign. There was no immediate information Saturday about who the shooter was or the motivation behind the attack. "For weeks Democrat leaders have been fueling ludicrous hysteria that Donald Trump winning re-election would be the end of democracy in America," Scalise said in a statement. "Clearly we’ve seen far left lunatics act on violent rhetoric in the past. This incendiary rhetoric must stop." |
And, the video following the shooting show the teleprompters to be just fine. |
I entirely agree that this is a security failure. The Secret Service is held to high standards, but as we've seen in multiple crisis situations, including Jan 6, it's comprised of human beings who aren't perfect. |
this is literally front page news in every single country on earth. |
