It sure sucks that the kid in PA was such a shit shot.
I'm still not convinced it wasn't faked
The bullet missed. The injury to his ear was from the secret service agent slamming against his head as he ducked down. Replay footage of the event confirmed.
But I doubt it was staged. It was a real assassination attempt. Maybe the next one will go better. Thoughts and prayers.
Are we sure the real target wasn’t the guy who actually got shot?
I'd laugh, if this was a jest. But I remember reading it was a firefighter. Even if they were diet fascist, the loss of innocent life is heartbreaking.
There are no innocent people at a Nazi rally.
:)
Both sides dehumanizing each other is why this is so going to end really, really messily.
There are no innocent people
I do agree that it will get messy. The nazis started this civil war though, the blood is on their hands.
Yes?
The blood might also have come from scraping the back of his hand against the agent's pistol when he first ducked down. Either way, superficial injury and the bullet was likely way off based on the angles.
I said on day 1 this is some trump stage drama
Sucked MUCH more to hear the entire democratic party wring their hands and come out immediately with statements about how "political violence is unacceptable under any circumstances."
I wish he'd hit too, but I don't think it's fair to call him a shit shot. All things considered, he almost fucking pulled it off.
Nah, if you can't hit that large a target from 135m you're a shit shot. Kid should have been accurate up to 300m, especially with an AR-15.
Let's see your groups.
I'm not even a good shot and my groups are 1 MOA at 100m.
1 MOA at 300 yards is 3 inches. That margin of error is the difference between grazing an ear and a kill shot.
That's why when you're trained you know to aim for center mass. He was roughly 150m from Trump, that's a 1.5" group at 1 MOA. If you didn't hit your target within 8 shots at that distance, you're a shitty shot. You would never qualify in the military that's for sure, and their standards are laughable.
Again, he was a skinny teenage kid, under some pressure that neither you or I have ever shot under. I'd rather applaud the effort than criticize the very near miss.
Is it any surprise he denies help to a state that voted for kamala in 2024?
Insulting that we have always taken care of our neighbors, giving them our tax dollars in hurricanes, and our hospitals during the pandemic, but now they feel that they don't need to return the favor. We're all Americans. Will you really abandon us that quickly?
Hell, he denies states that voted for him.
he also denied huckabee sanders state, arkansas it took months, or longer to finally get aid.
This would have been unfathomable under any president before 2016.
While denying MD, he is also denying his supporters in MD. Both of those counties are Trumpers
Does he need those supporters? I know midterms are coming up but I feel like the majority of his fan base is ride or die.
In this case it seems like die
Heres to hoping
And does he need supporters in general? I don't think elections are going to be exactly real going forward.
nope, none at all, he said he doesnt need them anymore after they voted for him.
Andy Harris needs those supporters.
Sorry Maryland, too busy building gulags.
And trying to hide the fact that convicted felon and adjudicated rapist Donald Trump trafficked and raped children.
The second civil war in the US has begun, and this is how the battles look.
God damn, I hate how you're not wrong....
You are on your own now in America.
Just like last time when he caused over a million excess deaths and committed literal acts of piracy against blue states trying to get PPE.
"If you don't test for it, you won't get so many cases."
He said this during covid. This was his logic. I don't think he's gotten smarter since the last time. Not sure his handlers are much smarter themselves.
When a critical mass of americans realize how many people don't hate them, aren't resentful violent cunts, and would happily work together with them to make nice things for everybody, that'll be good news.
Sooner the better.
Why is it okay for these traitors to ~~run~~ destroy america?
It's not dude
He’s there to split the states. Divide et impera.
Toxic Taco.
