Apparently, he didn’t get that close before he was caught in the bushes at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago golf course. Shots were fired, but it might have just been shots between Secret Service and him. The shooter was caught after a camera picked up his license plate after somebody took a picture of his car as he was fleeing.
the alleged shooter is a NAFOid
I really don’t get these guys. They’re just so incompetent. Like the very least they could do is avoid anything identifiable like a license plate, you’d think they’d steal a car or something and set up a safehouse to flee to. Or if they want the full matyrdom thing, go in guns blazing with the biggest, nastiest weapon they can get their hands on, or even full on killdozer or something.
They say he is a “threat to American democracy” or whatever, but even attempted assassins don’t seem to seriously believe that, let alone the libs who will #thoughtsandprayers all over this.
Aside from the BS of libs non-stop going hard to say that Trump winning will mean fascism and the end of all freedoms. Which makes it very stupid to then act like “voting harder” would be the only correct way to prevent said fascism (it also didn’t stop the south from kicking off war). In addition to lame ass well wishes and showing the real colours of not really believing the threat to freedom.
I am starting to think that the dems and anti-gun republicans are trying to scare conservatives and pro-gun liberals into banning guns. As they would only push for bans if it directly impacts them and their leaders. But is more an idle conspiracy theory thought that I had after seeing the article. Wouldn’t work well if they were doing so, as it would most certainly lead to lots of actual shootouts when state and federal agents attempt to take peoples’ weapons.
As much as I hate liberals, sometimes lately I wonder if they have a point that Trump and the rethuglicans actually will be able to destroy the extremely miniscule amount of freedoms or privileges that Americans enjoy.
Not that voting is the end all be all, or that Kkkopmala Harris isn’t probably worse, but regardless.

You mean, if Trump will be able to destroy those “freedoms,” before the liberals have the chance to do so? Maybe they have a point, but it’s not much of one (and they play an equal or greater role in accelerating this process IMO) and they don’t exactly promise to change the course (which they have been the ones to push through, more so than Trump and well before Trump was ever elected).
IMO- don’t fall for their schtick. Neither side has anything meaningful to offer (and refuses to offer anything meaningful) other than threats that the other will do exactly as they have and are blatantly intending- and fearmongering about the red/blue doing it first and “to the wrong people.”
And Klanmala and the “establishment” (liberal faux-progressive ghouls, as well as blatantly honest and murderous ghouls endorsing her like Dick Cheney- that alone should say everything) are guilty of far worse, and will certainly do far worse than the nasty orange man ever could (though it’s not for lack of trying).
I think it’s possible they’d be able to bring things to a point where even white people will start feeling more the systemically oppressive experience that has already been there for non-white people for the entire country’s history. But the state seems bent on doing that anyway, with stuff like the cop cities being built or already built, the treatment of student protesters, etc. So maybe they’d speed up the degradation of the neoliberal order, but it’s degrading either way and continuously rejecting any attempt to reform it.
If it happens, I’m doubtful the dem power brokers would be all that upset about it, considering they treat the most milquetoast reformists as more of an enemy than the faction they claim wants to “destroy democracy.” But idk with confidence, sometimes it’s a bit hard to tell how much of it is a show and how much of it is genuine disagreement on how to run a brutal capitalist empire. I lean toward thinking it’s more the loyalist followers who have the disagreement and the show part is among the power brokers running it. But if so, it’s not like you can just leash a thing like that. People believe fervently enough and some of them start acting on it, like with the Jan 6 thing or these assassination attempts made on Trump. One thing seems undeniable though, is neither faction is serious about human rights beyond lip service and future promises easily broken, and it may be much of what remains of it is codified more in the cultural loyalty to the constitution as a document and a fear of visceral backlash against anything that challenges the nature of the document and what extends from it. Like the religiosity that others have touched on before in analyzing the culture.
I keep trying to understand it better. It’s an odd situation.
