Hell, the harder they try to fight back, the better, in my opinion. An insurgency serious enough to merit military action to put it down means less redcaps I'll have to share the planet with. Dare I even hope for a redo of the Civil War where the modern-day Benjamin Wades and Thaddeus Stevenses end up in charge when it's over instead of another Andrew Johnson?

They were NEVER going to accept the results. Just like last time. But this time they don't have their orange cancer holding back the responders.

A Meta spokesperson characterized the update as “simply bringing presumptive GOP nominee Trump to parity with President Biden.”

The restrictions in place were due to how Trump acts online. President Biden doesn't suggest committing violent acts against those who criticize him online, Trump does.

Well, between Biden's issues (real or imagined by the mainstream media) and this, he's definitely winning in November.

Why? His cult was *already* committed to voting for him and that’s a hard ceiling.

Him being shot at isn’t going to suddenly

1) Motivate independents to vote for him

2) Motivate Democrats to stay home.

Biden could still lose but it certainly won’t be because of this.

Seems strange he assumed that the shooting was over.

Did Biden just take his immunity out for a spin?

Let’s be honest, if he had? Trump would NOT have walked away with a “grazed ear”. The investigation into this will be fascinating.

Details are sparse enough that it’s too early to let conspiracies fly…but I find it hard to believe that any dedicated shooter would only fire ONCE.

There were several pops. Weirdest part is that it doesn't look like anything was hit but trumps ear. Given all the people nearby, I'm really surprised no one else was hit.

I mean the video in the article Paladin linked is the Secret Service surrounding him and escorting him off the stage while he did the fist raise so I don't know what your conspiracy theory is supposed to be. They're the ones moving him, he's not taking a stroll by himself. The Secret Service killed the hell out of the shooter so it was definitely over. And at least by the accounts I've read they did so very quickly.

So when a bullet grazes his head, he acts like that, but when someone brushes his leg, he acts like this:

I am growing more and more skeptical about this "shooting".

No, you're missing the part in between the shots fired and his raised fist.

Video of the assassination attempt (nothing graphic)

Other people were hit.

One spectator from the rally is dead, and a second is in serious condition, according to the Butler County district attorney. The shooter is dead, NBC News confirms.

BBC interview with one Trump supporter who said he and his friends saw the shooter get onto the roof of a building with a rifle and they claim to have tried to alert police and Secret Service for a couple minutes before the shooting started.


Won't share pictures of videos of the shooter's body, but he definitely fired from a roof and his clothes matched the description by the Trump supporter. Don't want to go down a social media rabbit hole, but that's already a colossal hug up and if the building people have identified with satellite imagery is accurate it's like 400 ft away with a clear view of where Trump was speaking so people should be extremely fired over this.

The Secret Service didn’t have someone stationed on a roof 400ft away with a clear view of where Trump was speaking?

That’s certainly…odd (amongst a number of other things)
