    Assassination “Attempt” is just spin. At best this is a Assasination “Concept” thwarted

    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 and beginning to support Democratic candidates was his disastrous anti-Ukrainian policy. Once that occurred [the broader veil of bullshit became unmasked — see this archived tweet — and he became pissed off that he was grifted. Yet in January of this year he was still pushing for Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy— bleeding heart liberals? — to unite and defeat Trump in the the GOP Primaries.

    It doesn’t change that he’s still a conservative Republican.

    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?

    Seems like he was just exercising his right to bear arms, is Trump against the Second Amendment now?

      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.

    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…

    For a country known to have more gun than people, you seems very bad at using them

    I’m just glad no one has succeeded. There is no telling what his deranged supporters will do if someone succeeds.

    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!
