Trump got shot! Staged? Not?

[GreatWhiteSnake]

Nobody but himself to blame. Violent rhetoric begats violence. I'm only surprised it took this long...

[Danzig in the Dark]

I thought liberals we against gun violence? Or is this acceptable? For those who say it was staged, I didn’t think liberals believed in conspiracy theories? Very confusing.

It’s all a bit weird.

What is weird, Asspacho?

Absolutely crazy and insane.

I am glad he is OK!

The pic of Trump with his fist in the air is ICONIC.

[Bono Nettencourt]

Great. Another one.

Stupid fuck resists SS trying to get him down while he is trying to fist pump. Total moron.

I'm hearing it wasn't even a bullet that hit his ear, but the shattered glass from a teleprompter.

we'll find out soon enough, I guess.

The Trump rally gunman was laid out on his belly, took aim and fired shots into the crowd before he got met with incoming bullets that killed him ... and TMZ has it all on video.

We've obtained an incredible clip that shows the moment the gunman opened fire at the Butler, PA rally Saturday -- and you can see the guy looking through either a scope or iron sights on a roof ... with people watching down below and freaking out, their panic palpable.



The guy has longer brown hair, and he seems to be wearing a grey shirt/khaki pants -- and as you can see, he's carefully trying pinpoint a target from afar before pulling the trigger.

Once bullets start to ring out, you can hear people screaming on the ground and a mass scramble take place .... and only moments later, you can hear incoming gunfire -- with multiple pops coming his way, and at that point ... the gunman was struck, all on camera.

The cameraman, Michael Difrischia, panned back to the gunman after the retaliating rounds could be heard ... and sure enough, you see the gunman laying there limp and lifeless.

[alleyrulez]

they are saying it was this guy, and I've heard a few mentions saying he's a registered Republican.

Trump 2024

Thank you libs for the early victory.

Liberals are against gun violence. But when a convicted criminal tries to end democracy, none of this is surprising.

didn't that fat piece of shit say this?

“I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn’t lose voters”

I think he did.

[Sleek]

Everybody calm down. The shooter was a registered Republican, so us Liburls can keep being anti-gun violence, and y'all Magatards can...do whatever it is you do.

[Fat_Elvis]

The crowd started chanting "USA! USA!" after he was shot at. That about sums it up. Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Guns.

[TorienRoxxGang]

It is totally pathetic that a former president is 1cm away from being assassinated and Democrats call it fake and staged. Even if it’s all on video the Democrats say it’s fake. Trump just smeared ketchup on himself. Trump is a strong and tough man that never backs down. Trump will be #47.

O cool, you got the 411!

For those of us who don't pay attention please share the video of the violent rhetoric that made Trump deserve to get shot! He's such an a-hole! I can't wait to see all the stupid harm he spewed- you probably know all of the clear non- "dog whistle" rhetoric that undoubtedly begets violence and justifies getting him shot!

Thanks, I'll get the popcorn ready!

[Sleek]

There's honestly SO many weird things about this already. It's gonna have the conspiracy-minded folks busy for a while. Fucking guy somehow gets an AR close enough to take shots at Trump in broad daylight. It...hits his ear? Then the USSS lets him stick his head up for a photo op WHILE THERE IS A PRESUMABLY ACTIVE SHOOTER(s)?

I'm trying to figure out if this is the Reichstag fire or if we're going to see Night of the Long Knives volume 2 coming, where Trump purges the republican party of all but Trump loyalists.

I wonder what the Trump spin is going to be? Can he trust the secret service after this? Even if they weren't complicit, this is a massive fail on their part. I could see him getting private security and claiming this was deep state shit, the praetorian guard turning on Caligula...or it could all have been planned for the photo op, in which case it wasn't a fail at all.

It's going to be a wacky few days coming up.

Inside job.

Oswald is dead.

Mother in law just told us.

You should be working for CNN, your post is the first I heard of the shooting this morning! On vacay and not watching much TV in the morning...

Isn't that exactly what MAGAts and Fox News do? Every. Fucking. Single. Day since 2015? Pot, meet kettle. There are so many receipts on video, audio, legal documents, Twitter, and so on, but all you hear from the right is conspiracies, deflection, and projection.

EDIT: Republican politicians were tweeting inflammatory bullshit before there was a single detail on anything. "Biden sent the order," says Mike Collins of Georgia. I'm not arguing right or wrong on political violence. IT'S WRONG, PERIOD. What I am arguing is where the majority of that rhetoric comes from.

[Bono Nettencourt]

But Biden said "bullseye" a week ago! ZOMG!

[Hatchets Molly]

But Biden said "bullseye" a week ago! ZOMG!

That was the order. Sheesh.

Registered Rep who donated $15 to Progressive Something or Other on the day of Biden's inauguration. There are loonies in our own families, so you know there are loonies everywhere. I will die on the hill saying if Trump had not won 2016 and unleashed this disaster of a political landscape, the last 9 years would be vanilla politics. The extremists on any side would still be in hiding.

I seem to recall Trump tweeting and making fun after Paul Pelosi was attacked, retweeting QAnon shit, and the like. Paul is not a former President, yet some lunatic was trying to kill him with a hammer. That was fodder for Trump rallies for a while. He likes soldiers who don't get killed. Suckers and losers. The 5th Av remark. I'm sure we can amass the longest thread in Sludge history with posts of Republican violent rhetoric.

Yep. He's continuously provided them aid and comfort.

Here's a cute receipt from Jr. after the Pelosi attack:

[Bono Nettencourt]

Exactly... you think if the sitch were reversed Trump would denounce the attack immediately or make a wellness call? Fuck right off with that noise.
