Almost two weeks ago, the US Department of Justice announced that it had foiled a plot by Proper and a number of co-conspirators to assassinate Donald Trump and other elected officials at the Ultimate Fighting Championship event recently held at the White House. As of Friday, eight people from around the country are in custody. All appear to be men in their 20s or early 30s.

Unsurprisingly, right-wing media is lying, claiming that these were lefties:

some conservative media outlets have seized on aspects of the story to imply that the plotters were actually bad seeds of the far left. One of the alleged plotters, an article in the Federalist argued, “parroted Democrat conspiracy theories about President Trump protecting child predators connected to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein”.

Also, Donald Trump does protect child predators connected to sex offender and former best buddy of Trump, Jeffrey Epstein.

Lefty rhetoric, like the truth. SMH. If they still believe it then they never will.

I thought it was interesting at the time how it was a conspiracy of like five dudes, but the headline across several news sites was like, "two dudes from California lead conspiracy to assassinate the president."

Imagine sleeping through your own assassination

Honestly if we just started calling them "profa" they would probably take up that mantle without understanding it.

If only these right wing assholes would consult with us, we could offer them good advice

I know. It sounded like they had their shit together. Leave it to Mom to fuck it up for everyone

That it didn't succeed.

When I heard about the event this was my first thought. What a great opportunity for some real right wing nationalists, WHO HATE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BEGIN WITH, would realize that Trump is just a dreidel.

[-] Gates9@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 minutes ago

Trump whipped these freaks into a frenzy and now they want to kill him. Nobody could have predicted this.

[-] Zaktor@sopuli.xyz 5 points 41 minutes ago

The left is really falling behind the assassination plot counts. Kind of embarrassing tbh.

[-] Photonic@lemmy.world 1 points 18 minutes ago

Hey now, what would Luigi think about that?

[-] Dadifer@lemmy.world 2 points 23 minutes ago

Always the family are snitching

I don't know who this proper is, but I think his valid display of political opinion should be heard preferably in a cage match with Trump. Only a week pussy would lose and weak pussies shouldn't be in charge of America... Right?
