It’s a misdemeanor, let him go! If he tries it again, let’s all together figure out what to do. But for the love of gorsh, leave his second amendment intact!
Seems like he was just exercising his right to bear arms, is Trump against the Second Amendment now?
He banned bump stocks via executive order, which is more than any president since clinton did in favor of gun control. I love using this fact to break Republicans’ heads. “As a firm believer in the second amendment, I can’t vote for trump”
He said this while president:
“I like taking the guns early, like in this crazy man’s case that just took place in Florida … to go to court would have taken a long time,” Trump said at a meeting with lawmakers on school safety and gun violence.
“Take the guns first, go through due process second,” Trump said.
Seems way overblown to me. What a nothing story.
For a country known to have more gun than people, you seems very bad at using them
guy wasn’t even using it
It’s Florida, dude was just bird hunting. /s
I’m seeing a lot of shitheads paint this guy as a leftist Democrat. No. Tell them, “if he’s a left-wing Democrat, then so is Dick Cheney.” Absurd.
This guy:
- Voted Republican in 2008
- Voted Republican in 2012
- Voted Trump in 2016
The primary reason, as he detailed in his own self-published book, for leaving Trump was his disastrous anti-Ukrainian policy. Once that occurred the broader veil of bullshit became unmasked, presumably, and he became pissed off that he was grifted.
It doesn’t change that he’s still a conservative Republican.
This “news” looks pure FUD + confusion of what actually happened, and I think is best to be ignored until it can be read coherently from the next weeks news paper… I’m only commenting because of my local news began to propel this shit…
Yeah but he was gonna though
I’m just glad no one has succeeded. There is no telling what his deranged supporters will do if someone succeeds.
Nominate Vance for president, who is just as evil and spineless, but probably much more effective.
I mean via the official channels, you’re right. But you will immediately have conspiracy theories running wild that Hillary had Trump killed or something stupid. In a land where there are more guns than people and a small minority own them…the rest of us probably don’t want to see what happens.
Timothy McVeigh blew up a chunk of OKC for less.
But also not nearly as able to energize the MAGAts.
Bitch and moan. Then mayyybe die
Yes but in this case there was not even an attempt worth worrying about
I don’t think this would be getting around the clock coverage if it wasn’t for the first attempt
Assassination “Attempt” is just spin. At best this is a Assasination “Concept” thwarted
The guy had a concept of a plan.
He was just an assassination tourist.
So fucking crazy that anyone will repeat something when the only source is “According to the Trump campaign”
And guess what, the dude with him on the golf course, main partner in his latest crypto grift, that launched right after. Another staged PR event involving an “assassination attempt” - where’s the ear scar Donny dipshit?
Thanks for the nightmares, dickhead.
Right? That thing is hideous 🤢🤮
So…what were the gunshots they heard…?
The fbi agent who wrote up the arrest warrant said it was a secret service agent
They have previously said that the secret service agent fired at the suspect after seeing his gun
And missed him completely, I guess? And then the dude ran off, then drove off?
Why do you seem perplexed by this
I was confirming.
Oh yeah lol that’s exactly what happened
The agents likely only have pistols on them and those get inaccurate real quick as the distance to the target increases.
In the very first article within hours of it happening, I read that the secret service fired at the dude and he ran away. (I guess they missed?)
Since I see titles being intentionally ambiguous about the shots, like if he was shot at again.
Never have I seen so few fucks given over assassination attempts.
It was before I was alive, but I’m guessing no one gave much of a fuck when Sarah Jane Moore completely failed to assassinate Gerald Ford. Especially when Squeaky Fromme did the same thing two weeks earlier and was a Manson girl, so I’m guessing she stole most of the spotlight.
Plus, Moore was totally inept.
She was standing in the crowd across the street from the St. Francis Hotel, and she was about 40 feet (12 m) away from Ford[12] when she fired a single shot at him with a .38 caliber revolver.[2] She was using a gun which she bought in haste that same morning and as a result, she did not know that the sights were 15 cm (6 inches) off the point-of-impact at that distance, and as a result, she narrowly missed.[13]
After realizing that she had missed, Moore raised her arm again, and Oliver Sipple, a former Marine, dove toward her and grabbed her arm, possibly saving Ford’s life

It’s not even really clear why she did it other than being a complete nutbag.
According to this we have, but didn’t know it.

I wanted to see how many assassination attempts needed to happen for Trump to have the most. I thought 4 would do it after getting past Lincoln, who had 3.
Apparently Obama had 11 attempts on his life.
“I’m sorry for the offensive language. That’s all it was. It does get me upset when I listen to the news and they attack President Donald Trump. He’s a good person and he’s done a lot for this country and the veterans.” After his sentencing, Grant C. Jaquith, the United States attorney for the Northern District of New York, said in a statement, “Racist threats to kill present and former public officials are not protected free speech, but serious crimes.”
This one was my favorite read
Tis a puzzlement, no?
Wake me up when Kyle gets his birthday wish.
Should I wish for something else?
I think many of us, and many Important People, give a fuck. It’s just that we know to take our time and gather information before making any strong proclamations about exactly what happened. We all know that Trump would lie about everything, and initial reports from police and neighbors are notoriously unreliable.
Finally now, more than a day after the event, it feels like maybe we’re able to put together the beginning of a reliable picture about exactly what happened.
If you want to know how people feel about assassination attempts on presidential candidates, just look at what they said two months ago.
His fans think he’s under protection from God, and everyone else would respond somewhere between relieved and elated.
You know how it rains when you’re camping?
