    Americans spend all their lives obsessing over guns then miss their shot. The most useless people on earth.

      Well, on the one hand, I've never materially been a threat to the established order in any serious way because I just sit at home, on the other hand said disability makes me a target anyway so. o7 to you as all as well.

        I was dragging my feet on it but I'm 100% purchasing more than one after this event. If the brownshirts come knocking, I refuse to leave this planet with a K/D ratio below 1.

        you know ive been considering getting a gun for a while, for normal purposes with no intention to ever shoot anyone. but now i feel like i shouldn't get one for a while, considering my recent comments regarding this incident combined with a firearm purchase would look REALLY bad to any bad-faith observers lmao

          None of the witnesses who saw the shooter definitively ID’d Oswald or placed blame on him. Most of his coworkers’ testimonies suggest that they only saw him go upstairs alone during the motorcade, or leaving after JFK is shot. It seems a bit silly to have this complex conspiracy and not coerce or stage a single testimony that says with 100% conviction “yup I saw Mr. Oswald on top aiming his sniper rifle right down at the president” if your goal is to frame an innocent man

            Your reasoning seems pretty backwards, “there’s no evidence he did it, so he probably did” is what your comment reads like.

              The reasoning that “the CIA carried out a complex assassination plot and failed to place witnesses to implicate a patsy” is dumber

                No it’s not. All of the evidence points to that being the case. Is it possible you’re just not familiar with the facts of the case?

    "If Trump wins its the end of US democracy"

    "He'll make himself a dictator"

    "Project 2025!!!!! Google it Jack!!!"

    Dems using that propaganda AND doing absolutely nothing about it (not even having a plan to pay lip service to about it) AND Pudding Brain Joe saying he's not going anywhere - just he's going to do his goodest job and that's what really matters Jack. I can see where someone's brain could break in the wrong way to do this.

      When Gabrielle Giffords was shot in Arizona, Democrats blamed it on Sarah Palin having targets on her flyers or something. Didn't Palin win a lawsuit about it, even?

      The chuds are going to be insufferable about this.

        Could very well have been .22 subsonic ammo. If the shooter had a 3D printed plastic gun, that would minimize the chance of it blowing up.

          With the number of rounds fired, it probably wasn't 3D printed. I know a bunch of libs are saying staged, but this is definitely in line with the tactics of the far right. False flags and excuses for mass political violence are common. Especially with the new presidential immunity they want to use and know the Democrats won't touch because they're allergic to power.

              The idea would be that he was never at risk, no one shot at him. He just had a squib in his hat, waited for the sound, then dropped to the floor.

              If he was actually hit I don't think he'd be acting like that, so he's definitely either acting or the blood is from being grabbed by like 9 secret service guys and not a bullet.

            The secret service was slow to take him down too. Obvious shots ring out and they wait until they see trumps ear bleeding to move. It's too early for crazy suspicion, but my initial thought is its pretty sus

            Sorry, I saw it on a stream and forgot who the tweet was by. News hasn't said "he was shot" though just that he is injured, so there isn't confirmation yet that it was a bullet that hit him.

                People were saying from the teleprompter? But ya, it's a chaotic seen and hard to know. All he could tell was sound of bullets followed by something hitting his ear.

                It only matters because if it was a bullet, that fucker missed by only an inch. If it was by glass from nearby then they weren't that close to actually killing him

        It's always about turnout. The people who would change their mind at this point are marginal morons. What matters is you getting your guys into those fucking booths and this is going to energize the hogs to turn up. How much they will is up for debate since we're so far out from the election and Americans have worse long term memories than goldfish.
