I'm not as conspiracy-theory-proof as I'd like to be, because I'm harboring serious doubts about what exactly happened when somebody supposedly tried to assassinate Donald Trump.

* How did security fail so badly that a sniper was on that roof?
* Where did Trump go after he was pulled down from the stage? You'd think reporters would be ALL OVER the hospital and doctors who treated Trump.
* Why has no medical report been issued? The man was (supposedly) SHOT, and even if it was grazing wound, there should be some kind of report.
* Why was Trump so poised and photogenic as he was carried away from the stage. The man is a coward, so I really doubt he acts well in sudden emergency, but he IS a consummate showman and that looked very much like a showman's response to scripted event.
* What was the shooter's motive? No polemics, no rantings, an apparent Trump supporter... and why was he doing this?

Answers should be forthcoming. I'm waiting.....

After the shooting it seems Trump was taken to a hospital called Butler Memorial which was ten miles or so from the rally site.


He was only there for a couple of hours or so before his motorcade left, heading directly to the airport in Pittsburgh. Media weren't allowed onto the immediate hospital grounds while he was there and had to stage across the street.


It sounds like this hospital was pre-chosen in case of any incidents - I guess that's something they arrange for every place a VIP goes, which I guess makes sense.

This does no inspire confidence in security measures. Yes, it's an incredibly challenging task, to protect a candidate, but this effort seems so unfocused. At the very least, you'd expect them to have delayed Trump's getting up on stage.

Trump assassination attempt: Secret Service spotted shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks on roof 20 minutes before gunfire erupted - 6abc Philadelphia
AND, per Morning Joe, there were Secret Service countersnipers inside the very building where the shooter positioned himself!

You and me both. As I said before, this whole thing stinks like Trump's diaper.

The group of agents surrounding him as they tried to guide him to the limo did a crappy job - he was fully exposed, shoulders up, for over 9 seconds as he gestured and hammed it for the crowd.
I lay that on Trump being an idiot and doesn’t listen to anyone.

Anyone mentioned J D Vance replacing Rump?

While Rump's a self-interested useful idiot, I see Vance as far more dangerous.

“I certainly would like abortion to be illegal nationally,” Vance said in the episode, explaining why regulating abortion at the state level wouldn’t work. “Let’s say Roe v. Wade is overruled,” he said. “Ohio bans abortion … you know, in let’s say 2024. And then, every day, George Soros sends a 747 to Columbus to load up disproportionately black women to get them to go have abortions in California. And of course, the left will celebrate this as a victory for diversity.”

It's starting to look like Crooks' attempt on Trump's life was less about any political views and more about his psychological health.

He went from the 'normal little boy' who liked to play soldiers and miniature golf, to the increasingly disturbed young man who grew his hair long, isolated himself from friends and became plagued by mental health disturbances that led some to believe he was either bi-polar or schizophrenic.

The Crazed MAGA Hunt Over Trump Assassination Jokes

In recent days, ring-wing social media users have been sniffing out, doxxing, and hounding those who cracked offensive jokes or comments about last week’s attempted assassination of Donald Trump.

Namely, Chaya Raichik, who runs the prominent far-right X account Libs of TikTok, has spent the week doggedly pursuing everyday retail workers, teachers, and public safety personnel who made insensitive remarks in the wake of the incident.

For example, after one social media user posted a video confronting a Home Depot cashier for making a Facebook comment that read, “To bad they weren’t a better shooter!!!!!,” Raichik’s account shared the footage with the caption, “Hi @HomeDepot! Are you aware that you employ people who call for political violence and the ass*ss*nat*on of Presidents? Any comment?” On Tuesday, Home Depot’s official X account announced that the woman “no longer works at” the home improvement store.

Ah, just like they did when conservatives were cracking jokes about the attack on Paul Pelosi... oh, wait.
It's sad just how far cancel culture fanatics have been able to invade right-wing politics... :hellokitty:
