      You can say that again.

      Dem pols, heads on swivels, now fearing for their lives.

      Secret Service, trying to “secure an area” in a city with more illegal firearms than probably any other city in America — all in the hands of stone thugs who should rightfully be in prison but are instead out on the streets (thanks, George! thanks, Kimmy! thanks, Lori!)

      A militant, possibly trained subclass among those thugs who don’t like the D’s Big Guy because of some imagined “softness” on Israel.

      All I can say is, wow.

      Democrats sold out the Afghanis.
      Now Democrats am the Afghanis.

Things getting spicy as the desperate d/prog grab for anything that might save their hold on power. A bungled assassination attempt (which this seems to be at present) does nothing but make DJT stronger politically and his response in the aftermath was classic Trump. The man took the fire like a champ, appears to have a graze along the ear maybe a through/through so could have been far worse, the Security Detail jumped on him and after they bring him back to his feet to rush him off elsewhere Trump demands a moment to raise a defiant fist to the crowd/cameras. Whatever whackos though this was a nifty plan just handed the election to Trump in an even bigger landslide IMO.

    That’s the problem – he already won, and this demonstrates this.

    The left is going to try again and again and again until they succeed, because they CANNOT beat him legitimately, or even by cheating at this point.

    Watch the Dems lie and backpedal. This is their beloved Stochastic Terrorism. “Gee we can’t control what people do….all we did was lie and create hate for the Good of the Party.”.

    The Left should be breathing easier…. if Trump was really hurt, I would expect every Dem politician to be at risk and I really couldn’t care less.. The New Yorker mag had Trump as a goose-stepping Nazi…. time to bring it home to the mag for fomenting this.

    We knew this was on the Left’s wish list… as stupid as it is. The greatest risk now is for Biden as the Left sees the only way to swing favor back is to sacrifice Joe. This is going to get crazy.

Take time to pray for people in the crowd. The other bullets went somewhere.

They shot JFK as well as almost all of the posters here on LI suppose, so maybe this is one Oliver Stone JFK conspiracy again, which all Trump supporters here believe is true. Who elver thought that Trump supporters would support Oliver Stone and his conspiracy theories.

Also, this may be too soon. But, those female SS agents were a collective hot mess. The one damn near dropped her service weapon. Total clown show.

      Biden dog whistled “TARGET ON TRUMP” and the shooter acted as required.

      I wouldn’t go that far. A more likely scenario is that the wacko had his rifle and either refused to drop it or was pointing it at the Secret Service/Police. Considering he just took a shot at President Trump I doubt they argued with him much. Most likely lit him up like a Christmas Tree.

Shooter is dead

Waiting for the MSM to call out Biden for his inflammatory rhetoric. Yeah right. Scary times to be living in. Like I say, nothing is beyond the Democrats. They are true totalitarians and they seek absolute power over every aspect of our lives. Any threat to their agenda must be stopped by any means necessary. Hurry up November.

Gremlin1974 | July 13, 2024 at 7:34 pm

So here is some complete speculation without any information.

I am thinking .22 from outside the rally. If you look at the picture of Trumps face above it appears the might have a graze on his cheek near the jawline. He may have been hit twice.

If it was a .22 and they were outside the rally then the rounds may not have had enough energy left to do any real damage, which would explain why there are no reports of anyone in the background being hit, they might have been hit and just not known it.

Also, Trump is in his late 70’s the reality is his skin is more fragile than someone in even their 50’s so the round may have hit and just caused a “skin tear”. Which would make sense for a round that lacked enough energy to do lethal damage.

There are some reports that the SS stated that the “shooter was down” while in the stage I have listened multiple times and I can’t hear them say that.

      My friend, you can certainly be killed from 100yrds with a 22lr if that is what you are referring to but the 22 caliber is correct I think. A 223 would more than suffice and reports are that he had an “AR Style” rifle whatever they mean by that but the press only knows AR Style or AK Style.

      And now it’s back… maybe it’s me 😵‍💫

      So from the two “scrapes” on his cheek, it appears to me that the shots came from BEHIND his ear — that is, from the right side of the video, as his head was facing left. One through his ear and down his cheek, the other just down his cheek. If you look to the left side of the video, there’s a large man in a red shirt who seems to be tending to a civilian victim who is down on the floor, which would support this theory.

      JUST OUT: Butler cops identify shooter as ANTIFA MEMBER Mark Violets.

        I’m holding onto the 48 hour rule for who did the shooting and what is their background. The media takes at least that long, if not longer.

        I am just loving all the lefties already claiming it is a hoax, because we don’t immediately have this piece of info or that piece of info. Same MO they have with every shooting they decide what happened before the shell casings as cooled down.

          Both teleprompters were undamaged. Certain elements of the left and media were trying to suggest he just got pinged by a piece of glass but if you watch the video, both are undamaged and didn’t move at all during the shooting.

Are the democrats so scared of Donald J. Trump that they would try to assassinate him? Evidently the answer to that question is, “Yes, yes they are.” But I don’t know how this attempt to going to stop Trump. Trump will be even more popular now than he ever was before.

Wishing Pres. Trump a speedy recovery!

    Just wait, the Left will claim very quickly that the person who did this is actually a Trump supporter who purposely missed to help make Trump appear as a martyr. The Left are slime balls. I will predict that after the lie goes round the World, that the shooter will be found to be some kind of Leftist.

    Also, I predict also that the Left/Democrats will call for extreme gun control. Thing is that the Leftist that did this would have gotten the gun illegally if he couldn’t get it legally.

The social media of the shooter will be interesting.

      Yeah. THey never panned the camera to the rooftop he was pointing at.

      And it was funny when they guy said, “They blew his head off”, (or whatever he said) and the reporter told him to watch the language (“we don’t know who’s watching this” – something to that effect).

      But that witness seems to be the only one I’ve seen who described the whole thing exactly and confidently. And the idea that the Secret Service was not in that area checking those rooftops … that’s beyond crazy. You pretty much have to go out of your way to be that negligent.

Despite the cover of last weeks The New Republic portraying a DT image ‘hybrided’ to resemble AH — entitled “American Fascism”, the hypocrisy is that the violence is coming from the left from *national socialists.* (Not even Bernie is an international socialist, and even Stalin changed his tune to “Socialism in One Country” — as AH predicted.)
