Political Humor

I'm not a conspiracy theorist in the least, but the fact that some random guy in the crowd saw the shooter on the roof but not one of the many Secret Service agents there noticed a sniper has me at least open to the idea that it was fake. It's not like Trump's team don't know that plenty of Republicans are just looking for an excuse to violently support their dear leader.

But I agree that it's more likely that someone just snapped.

Even so, the spin machine will figure out how best to "use" it, over the next few days.

Oh, they didn't even need to wait a few days. Trump himself managed to turn it into a golden ticket for rallying republican support and encouraging his diehard supporters to start another violent insurrection.

And all he did was stand back up, raise his first, and say "fight" to his crowd. We are so, so fucked.

"Oh, was assassinated? See, you shouldn't have tried it on July 13, liberal!"

I can see it now.

That hit was so unprofessional, i.e. it missed, that I would sooner believe it was faked than official.

Unless when Biden called him later, instead of checking up on him, he said, “That one was a warning shot.”

For real, though, the fact that it was a 20 year old shooter says to me the kid had mental problems or got indoctrinated. You step into that operation assuming you will die, and what 20yo would do that for his government or money for his family?
