Every leftist I know is over the moon right now. They are all celebrating this massive expansion of the Overton Window to include literal assassination, and they expect it’s only a matter of time until someone gets him.
Think about that. A huge proportion of the country will be disappointed if/when the leader of the opposition party is not murdered before the election. We’ve officially transitioned into third world shithole.
The problem with a lot of "the right" is they think leftists are just mis-guided and can still be reasoned with on some level. That they don't really mean what they say. No. They really do hate you and want you dead and will do anything to get their way.
Principles are for suckers. Everything is about power. Most "rightists" are horrified by what people like Stalin did but Stalin understood how power actually works. Most boomer cons give you a highschool civics lesson where as Stalin liquidated 20% of the USSR's population to achieve his aims. This is why the right has never won.
I think some leftists are misguided and can be reasoned with. But it's a very, very small minority.
I honestly think a majority of leftists who have TDS will never, ever work with any of us on the right, or even the center. They're a lost cause, there's no reason to extend an olive branch for them.
Fuck them, fuck them all.
You use Stalin as an example but his rule didn't last. No dictator lasts that long when they do the things Stalin did that would violate our Constitution. Trump has plenty of powers he can harness IMMEDIATELY into office once he takes over. He has a SCOTUS that he left behind as his first-term legacy that is friendly to him (though boo on them for not investigating the stolen election), and the SCOTUS actually cleared the way for Trump to kick the deep state in the balls.
SCOTUS has overturned several key rulings that only help the right wing's causes. Roe v Wade is dead, good riddance. They undid Trump's stupid bump stock ban (I bet he's kicking himself for that one). They repealed the Chevron Deference, etc.
The main thing is we need to bring in a Congress and Senate that is loyal to Trump - we've had a few swamp monsters replaced the past few years during Trump's absence, but it's obviously not enough. We have to keep a majority in the Senate as well.
The executive branch is already in the bag, so it's just a matter of getting the House and Senate seats needed to push our mandates to stop this bleeding.
Stalin ruled for 25 years until his death without any opposition. He killed and enslaved so many people he moved the USSR from a backwards agrarian peasant economy to an industrial superpower. The Bolsheviks might have been our enemies but they understood how power worked.
Stalin once said "If there is a man, there is a problem. No man, no problem."
You are basically here giving a highschool civics lesson while the left would just have you all liquidated if it advanced their agenda. I don't have the meme to hand but the guys on their knees in front of a death squad and the lolbertarian tells the other guy. "Jokes on them. This is unconstitutional".
Trump is a Jew loving boomer faggot as well. Instead of taking the bull by the horns and getting his followers to eradicate his enemies he spent 4 years tweeting and crying instead of doing what Stalin would and having his enemies shot even when they stole the election blatantly in-front of everyone.
I hate boomers, I hate conservatards, I hate politics itself.
Whether you like Trump or hate him, you gotta admit, he handled that really coolly. He reacted as though he was just bit by a mosquito before realizing what was up and hitting the deck. And when he's being hauled off by his bodyguard, he still fist-pumps for the crowd. Definitely a stronger showing than everything Biden's done without anyone shooting him.
There are a lot of things I don't like about Trump, but I cannot deny that the man knows how to play to a crowd. Not everybody has a gut-level instinct, in a life-and-death situation, to think about how it's going to look and what the cameras and the audience are going to think. But Trump clearly does.
I hope he takes out his rage on the Democrats next year. They deserve to have their own medicine rammed up their ass. This is an evil that we can't coexist with.
they were 100% waiting for permission to say "assassination attempt". The feedback from Biden-house, had they not agreed on the message, would have been severe.
In fairness, which i normally shouldn't give, when the news is this huge, the media like to actually be extremely cautious. Because if they mis-report when the entire planet is looking at them, it will annihilate their credibility.
Yes, the feds are legitimately terrifying to have as an enemy, and if you ever end up being seen as a serious threat by them, never become overconfident or complacent.
BUT, also don't think of them as being like literal supervillains with supernatural powers and plot armor. Yes, they're extremely dangerous, but they're not invincible. And tbf, because they know that Americans by and large no longer acknowledge their moral legitimacy, the best they can do to manufacture consent at this point is to convince the public that they're omnipotent and omniscient.
agreed, though it's not like the feds didn't try to egg it on. several leftist politicians have been spouting rhetoric about putting Trump in a bullseye and similar statements. meanwhile, apparently secret service was asking for more resources and was denied by the DHS. someone away from the rally even saw the shooter setting up and alerted secret service, which did not act on the tip at the time.
Even if you believe the feds were involved in both of those, they aren't the only people that the feds have attempted to get. It seems like they have a 60% success rate.
100% points to someone who doesn't know firearms. If you're gonna be using a .22, you have to compensate for the wind. That guy missed his shot and panic-shot the rest as the Secret Service rearranged his ugly underbite-ridden jaw.
Someone who is a gun bro, I was reading he was using a modified AR-15 platform to allow for .22 bullets to be used?
I'm not going to pretend that I'm any firearms expert, but he's standing at a podium, not going to be making any sudden, wild movements that you would have to consider. Seems like an easy job for someone with some experience.
People have been saying that but I'm not sure the movement was sharp enough to have been the difference between life and death. Depends on the angle but it was a very slight movement. I understand it was half an inch from significant injury and an inch or so from lights out but it depends on the angle.
Edit: Upon seeing where the shot came from it does seem like the head turn probably made the difference. Crazy shit.
It zipped across his cheek and nipped his ear pretty well, by all appearances. It's possible another shot grazed him as there looked like another line-wound lower from his cheek, possibly when he turned his head and looked down as he reached for his ear.
That man would not have left the podium if it were not for the half dozen SS agents dragging him out. I'm not the biggest fan of Trump, but that was ballsy.
“No guys! Just because we have a troon/leftist/redditor attempt a political assassination literally every single year doesn’t mean this wasn’t staged!”
Weathermen attacks: 1969, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1971 (Capital bombing), 1972, 1975. I'm missing a few, they made claim to 25 attacks. All on government buildings and officials. Not single target assassinations but the intent was clear.
In every false flag I've ever seen, crucial members of the regime are never in danger. Even when there was that one politician who paid a guy to come up and shoot an empty gun at him.
Hitting that crucial regime member... is unfathomably stupid, and would probably be rejected by that very person.
I mean, he definitely is going to benefit from this in the long run. But this is a really stupid thing to do when you are winning. Especially when you actually hit your candidate in your false flag.
That being said, if there was ever a way to make Trump tired of winning, this would be it.
In the other thread, Trudeau's news service is spinning the narrative that Trump got himself shot because he's had detractors removed from his events sometimes.
I'm literally hearing about this on the Archcast as they started live reporting it on steam
Seems they grazed his ear so he's alive but fuck, this going make shit go nuclear soon, we are going to see some take this as a sign to give no quarter to the left anymore.
Edit: you may want to watch his steam as Arch and Dev are going over some of the headlines and they are RIDICULOUS.
"Trump startled by loud noise and taken off stage at recent rally"
Remember when multiple assassination attempts against Republicans happened at the most non-partisan idea possible -- a softball game -- and the media characterized it as how Republicans need to turn down the temperature?
Independents on YouTube like even Ddaycobra is doing better reporting than CNN right now!
If mainstream media can't treat this responsibly, put their TDS away and actually fumble reporting this, they'll be irrelevant in 1-2 YEARS than a decade.
Over on reddit the lefty political subs are already insisting this was staged and fake. Doesn't matter to them that there were 50 000 live witnesses. Dev will be right there with them, refusing to accept reality.
Shades of the Floyd riots. When they thought everyone was on their side, they cheered the riots. When the numbers came in and the riots proved to be deeply unpopular, lefties started claiming false flag.
Actually being fair, he has straight up said it's the left that are responsible for this attempt, either directly or with their rhetoric.
He's joining Arch calling for calm as since Trump is alive, this not just wins him the election but if you stay calm, the authority and backing to BITCH SLAP the establishment left with no backlash.
At first I assumed indirectly, but now it seems it was a man with a rifle on a rooftop a fair distance away. Might very well have been a direct deep state attempt. Holy shit.
After the Floyd riots the right was convinced that there was no way in hell Biden could win, even with all the "fortification." People were fed up with the lockdowns, the incompetence of the stimulus, the brazen favoritism shown towards lefty domestic terrorists, the crime spikes, the incessant lies, etc. 2020 was supposed to be a slam dunk, as progressives could have hardly done a worse job on the PR front, you even had record levels of new gun owners.
But they went and stole it, and they did it so brazenly. Then the feds instigated J6, which prevented anyone in Congress from being able to contest the results and demand an investigation, and the federal and SCOTUS justices showed themselves to be cowards who would rather let the country fall into the hands of these demons than face the wrath of the NPC mobs.
It's wild to me seeing MAGA fanboys talk like this time it's different, after so many times being let down. No, get it through your thick skulls that our enemies have no shame, they have pride but they have no shame, and they'll do it again, because they know they can, because they'll face no consequences while the Sword of Damocles will fall onto anyone who resists. And if it becomes too obvious to deny they stole 2024, they'll say it was a good thing, because anything is justified to stop Orange Hitler.
Israel does, buy netenyahu doesn't, because trump will push to end the Gaza conquest there and when that happens the Israeli left comes back and bibi's goose is cooked.
Pretty impressive he managed to get up there. When Trump came by my town in 2016, he was at the convention center. Every place within 2 or 3 miles taller than a 2 story building had snipers on it.
In still images from other cameras, their vest's are marked "Police." Anyone know if SS guys wear such markings? It would be odd to task the locals with counter sniper duties.
It's exactly how the Brady Bill was passed. John Hinckley Jr. tried to kill Ronald Reagan, but hit his press secretary James Brady instead. His widow, Sarah Brady, led a gun-grabbing campaign that led to the bill's creation.
Never underestimate the depths these creatures will sink to.
Theyre already pushing it on Twitter because it was confirmed the soyboy used an AR-15. "Trump wouldn't have been shot if you'd just LET US BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS YOU REPUBLIKKKAN RETARDS!"
Any footage of it, the media is going to try their damn best to hide it or edit it. Anyone with eyes will see their headlines don't match up with what just happened.
There's footage that is alleged to be the shooter, limp, being hauled away by troopers. Seems like fire was indeed returned, much to the shooter's detriment.
EDIT: That was not the shooter. That was likely either the dead or critically wounded crowd member. Shooter was a sniper on a roof, apparently hundreds of yards away. Still killed though, by all accounts.
Yeah, according to TD, two dead, including the shooter, who was - based on initial reports (not sure how he was identified so quickly, I'll take it with a grain of salt - antifa.
EDIT: Antifa shit sounds fake. Sniper on the roof is legit, though, it seems. Hundreds of yards, potentially. Basically a headshot (unless it was shrapnel.) At first my thought was lunatic in the crowd with a pistol. Now I'm thinking more botched or unlucky professional job. This may have been legit deep state nonsense.
What is it with people and using guns (which they obviously don't have much experience with) in assassination attempts? Weren't the IRA able to terrify every politician with bombs? Every shooter seems to fail (except for the Japanese guy a few years back).
What is it with people and using guns (which they obviously don't have much experience with) in assassination attempts?
I don't know, this seemed relatively competent so far. It's much too early to say for sure but, as far as attempted assassinations go, this one was actually pretty well executed. Literally an inch or two and it would have succeeded. Seems to be from a couple hundred yards out at least, too. And Trump did turn his head right as the shot that hit him was fired.
Speaking purely on competence, this was much stronger than our usual fare.
Probably not because there's not much of an evolving incident ongoing. I am pretty fucking angry about the couple of fed posts I've seen in other threads.
I am pretty fucking angry about the couple of fed posts I've seen in other threads.
Based on modlogs I see one, potentially.
The other one...I'll just quote Thomas Jefferson (or whoever said it, it's disputed) here:
When government fears the people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
That's all the other "fedpost" said, essentially.
The government should fear us. That's not a call to violence. But they should be terrified we might at some point say "enough" to their absolute fucking bullshit. I stand by that.
President Trump thanks law enforcement and first responders for their quick action during this heinous act. He is fine and is being checked out at a local medical facility. More details will follow.
Steven Cheung, Trump spokesperson
I can't wait until he makes a post on Twitter. It'll be the Tweet heard round the world.
His truth post was just kind of a basic run down (kinda like I would expect any normal person to post if they'd been in a shooting), but it missed an excellent meme opportunity.
And "No Surrender", and pictures of his mugshot. Here we thought that was the picture of the election.
Honestly, the whole thing seems very humanizing for him. It's like that Shane Gillis skit where he said after Baghdadi's assassination, he came out of the war room and looked like a normal guy that had just seem some shit. I'm very confident he's telling the truth when he said he heard the bullets going by. He would have heard the crack and the whiz.
I bet Steve Banon is probably losing his mind right now that he can't be on air because they are holding him in jail.
Alright what do you guys think? Deep state assassination attempt or lone wolf? My gut says no lone wolf could reasonably get this close to nailing him, but that a deep state assassination attempt wouldn't miss unless intentional, but attempting to kill and failing only helps Trump.
Yea, even if it was the deep state, they'd have to cover their asses and have a patsy pull the trigger in case he gets caught. And patsies usually aren't the most reliable because you have to take who you can get.
I literally just saw a meme today poking fun at the chain of assassins to kill Padme in Episode 2, but honestly, Palpatine REALLY wouldn't want anyone capable of following the chain all the way back to him.
The deep state creates lone wolves by saying "love this" / "hate this enough to kill it" on all channels until someone does. They do have a very large organization with a chain of command but they prefer to not get caught, so they use the media to incite other people to take action.
Probably some lone schizo. An actual assassination attempt by the Deep State 1) doesn't hit a friendly and 2) actually tries with something more than a pistol or light rifle.
Certainly possible. I said right after the fortified election in 2020 that I wouldn't be shocked if they offed Joe, but in retrospect I was seriously underestimating just how unpalatable Kamala is to even the deep state. Genuine leftist lunatic is a possibility, and if so the fault also lies with the entire media apparatus.
Alright what do you guys think? Deep state assassination attempt or lone wolf?
Initial impression was lone wolf. Leaning more toward deep state now that it turned out it was a rifleman on a roof, not a dude with a handgun in the crowd.
Initial impressions are always sketchy, but I've heard everything from 150 meters to "several hundred yards." If that wasn't shrapnel, that's a fairly decent shot and, depending on range, could be a pretty damn amazing shot.
Either botched or very unlucky professional job, is now my at least current impression.
The consensus seems to be that it was a dude who climbed up a roof behind the rally and had a clear shot with a rifle from around 150 yards away. Secret service fucked up big time, intentionally or unintentionally. Eye witness account is circulating on Twitter saying people were frantically pointing the shooter out to police for a couple minutes before he fired. We'll see if more info comes out put that looks to be what happened as of now.
I remember being in high school for the Columbine shootings, and I remember waking up to 9/11. There are certain moments that invade and imprint on your mind.
It's crazy that sometimes I have to go into a lot of detail about 9/11 to explain to people how fucking nuts it was. Especially for anyone in the military at the time.
In every case I heard, they didn't need the pilots, but that ain't gonna stop those flyboys from trying.
And as you note, it's not crazy. Normally, militaries haven't needed to pull full-on civilians back; but I think there were pilots during Black Buck 1 who hadn't flown the Vulcan bomber in years that needed to get retrained.
If it was a leftist (which let's be real, it probably was) going nuclear in response is the only choice. Arrest every single person who has cheered this shit on, or encourage it.
He was never in any danger. The crowd doesn't go for cover, or try to escape? Secret service doesn't draw their weapons? He stands tall after supposedly being under attack? I don't think so, Tim. This is a staged op.
Trump got fucking shot in the ear. Secret service does swoop in, as do the LEOs, with rifles. Many in the crowd do go for cover.
Shut the fuck up.
Or at the very least don't state it definitively. Holy shit.
EDIT: Initial reports, one in crowd dead, another in critical condition. Shooter dead. Again: Shut the fuck up, faggot.
EDIT 2: Shooter with a rifle on a roof for sure, "hundreds of yards away" according to some. This was real, and wasn't even some lunatic with a handgun, so it's actually worse than I initially suspected. Legit deep state hit, perhaps?
Why do you think that would be? They didn't hear gunshots?
Do you think he used blood pack or red paint to create a fake bullet wound, or did a shooter actually intentionally graze his ear all according to plan?
Clearly they heard something. It's just that they look completely stupid and unbelievable hunched over, looking around like they can't find their preferred brand of Metamucil in the vitamin aisle. As for the "wound", I find it difficult to tell if there even was one.
Every leftist I know is over the moon right now. They are all celebrating this massive expansion of the Overton Window to include literal assassination, and they expect it’s only a matter of time until someone gets him.
Think about that. A huge proportion of the country will be disappointed if/when the leader of the opposition party is not murdered before the election. We’ve officially transitioned into third world shithole.
Once again the left proves that they are the fascists they claim everyone else to be.
Fascists are Leftists. Frankly, it's the only practical application of Socialism.
now if only we can claw national socialism back from the "fascism" umbrella it was wrongly placed under...
The problem with a lot of "the right" is they think leftists are just mis-guided and can still be reasoned with on some level. That they don't really mean what they say. No. They really do hate you and want you dead and will do anything to get their way.
Principles are for suckers. Everything is about power. Most "rightists" are horrified by what people like Stalin did but Stalin understood how power actually works. Most boomer cons give you a highschool civics lesson where as Stalin liquidated 20% of the USSR's population to achieve his aims. This is why the right has never won.
The right thinks the left is stupid, and the left thinks the right is evil. It’s the exact opposite.
I think some leftists are misguided and can be reasoned with. But it's a very, very small minority.
I honestly think a majority of leftists who have TDS will never, ever work with any of us on the right, or even the center. They're a lost cause, there's no reason to extend an olive branch for them.

I hate boomers, I hate conservatards, I hate politics itself.
I'll bet many who do may be reconsidering that now.
Once Trump wins I expect the glowies are going to be used to seek these faggots and send them to hang.
Every single one of these leftists who are applauding this assassination attempt needs to be sent to a fucking asylum. YESTERDAY.
They need to understand that such attacks would not go unavenged.
buy a gun, stay safe, don't do anything stupid
Whether you like Trump or hate him, you gotta admit, he handled that really coolly. He reacted as though he was just bit by a mosquito before realizing what was up and hitting the deck.

The man is giving himself a TR moment. If he didn't just win the election, he absolutely just won Pennsylvania... by 10.
He was shouting, "FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!"
I hope he takes out his rage on the Democrats next year. They deserve to have their own medicine rammed up their ass. This is an evil that we can't coexist with.
He shouted "Fight! Fight! Fight!" not "fuck you."
From a ABC News Article, being disingenuous as usual. If this happened to Biden it would 100% be labeled as a assassination attempt.
Bangs?! They're calling gunshots bangs now?! What would they call a bombing on Trump? A boom-boom?
I'm not a big gun person but I was in the Army, those sound like gun shots to me. It's not even news on Yahoo's front page
Mostly peaceful assassination attempt
Are you sure about that?
Which means..?
A loud noise
CNN
BBC
NY Post: Trump shot on side of the head in apparent assassination attempt at rally
NY Times:
Donald Trump Rushed Off Stage at Rally After What Sounded Like Shots
Tomorrow's 'The Atlantic' headline: IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED...
"Trump rushed off stage as firecrackers are heard popping in the distance."
Fox News: "Security Incident at rally"
EDIT: https://media.patriots.win/post/lZ0JLO9EqEsh.jpeg
they were 100% waiting for permission to say "assassination attempt". The feedback from Biden-house, had they not agreed on the message, would have been severe.
r/news locks thread after 20 min. I suspect reddit will have another "outage" tonight.
These can’t be real.
They're complicit
Those were the headlines as of the time of my post
I honestly thought you were being facetious, but holy shit that's just downright complicit in things.
Has anyone archived them yet? It can't be real that no-one has archived the pages with those headlines.
He was literally filmed grabbing his ear and dropping, same ear magically must have gotten “banged” so badly that it was bleeding profusely
The nastiest faggot communists are claiming it was fireworks and Trump bladed like a pro wrestler.
Jumping on top comment, good footage here.
Crazy shit!
EDIT: More here. Yowzers.
EDIT 2: Sniper on a roof and, according to some, "hundreds of yards away." Yeah, so actually worse than my initial assumption. Oof.
In fairness, which i normally shouldn't give, when the news is this huge, the media like to actually be extremely cautious. Because if they mis-report when the entire planet is looking at them, it will annihilate their credibility.
Given the amount of cameras covering this, I honestly don't think they deserve this fairness.
You're not wrong.
No, they're propagandists cautious about what they can get away with saying.
LOL like closing the barn door after the horse is already gone
You'd be surprised how many boomers are still watching.
In THE FUCKING EAR
Do you realize how goddamn close that is?
So far Trump says "I'm fine" to the press, saw it about 4 or 5 minutes ago.
That bullet GRAZED his ear. We were THIS fucking close to an assassination.
Thank god for the new CIA's DEI hiring.
Nah this was probably some schizo. If they really wanted him dead he'd be dead.
Fidel Castro died of natural causes. Saddam had to be physically captured. They never got Assange OR Snowden.
The Feds actually kinda suck at assassinations.
This is a really important point to hammer home.
Yes, the feds are legitimately terrifying to have as an enemy, and if you ever end up being seen as a serious threat by them, never become overconfident or complacent.
BUT, also don't think of them as being like literal supervillains with supernatural powers and plot armor. Yes, they're extremely dangerous, but they're not invincible. And tbf, because they know that Americans by and large no longer acknowledge their moral legitimacy, the best they can do to manufacture consent at this point is to convince the public that they're omnipotent and omniscient.
We are also 8 years into TDS.
The chance of a random Leftie being psychotic enough to shoot him far and away outweights the Feds sending someone. By a lot.
Why not both? Feds can always whisper into a leftoid's ear about a sniper rifle hidden in an unlocked book depository.
agreed, though it's not like the feds didn't try to egg it on. several leftist politicians have been spouting rhetoric about putting Trump in a bullseye and similar statements. meanwhile, apparently secret service was asking for more resources and was denied by the DHS. someone away from the rally even saw the shooter setting up and alerted secret service, which did not act on the tip at the time.
JFK? MLK?
Even if you believe the feds were involved in both of those, they aren't the only people that the feds have attempted to get. It seems like they have a 60% success rate.
Yeah. I lean towards an ANTIFA troon who was off the deep end and bungled the job.
Supposedly it was four hundred feet and change with a scoped rifle. This suggests a completely amateur shooter. Because to me that shot is cake.
100% points to someone who doesn't know firearms. If you're gonna be using a .22, you have to compensate for the wind. That guy missed his shot and panic-shot the rest as the Secret Service rearranged his ugly underbite-ridden jaw.
Someone who is a gun bro, I was reading he was using a modified AR-15 platform to allow for .22 bullets to be used?
I'm not going to pretend that I'm any firearms expert, but he's standing at a podium, not going to be making any sudden, wild movements that you would have to consider. Seems like an easy job for someone with some experience.
Way i understood it, Trump rotated his head right before and that's what made the shot miss.
People have been saying that but I'm not sure the movement was sharp enough to have been the difference between life and death. Depends on the angle but it was a very slight movement. I understand it was half an inch from significant injury and an inch or so from lights out but it depends on the angle.
Edit: Upon seeing where the shot came from it does seem like the head turn probably made the difference. Crazy shit.
It zipped across his cheek and nipped his ear pretty well, by all appearances. It's possible another shot grazed him as there looked like another line-wound lower from his cheek, possibly when he turned his head and looked down as he reached for his ear.
Here's the new campaign photo
Holy shit, what a visual. He looks mad as shit. It's like he is fighting back to the podium.
He should be mad as shit. Someone just tried to literally murder him. In public.
That man would not have left the podium if it were not for the half dozen SS agents dragging him out. I'm not the biggest fan of Trump, but that was ballsy.
Ah, secret service. I thought of the other SS, lol.
All jokes aside, you're probably right, he would've done a Teddy I feel.
Yeah, I want that on a poster.
This is his TR moment.
Also, that photographer might have just captured the picture of the century. Nice work, dude.
Here's another.
Yeah, that's the one.
Holy shit what a shot. I hope to God they don't get him before the election (or after for that matter...)
Get ready for NPCs to call this a deepfake
If Trump was merely shot in the ear, he needs to do a TR moment, right the fuck now. He'll win with +350 electoral votes.
Edit - Nevermind, the crazy son of a bitch did it live on stage, and Elon Musk re-tweeted the picture. Bloodied, raised fit, with American Flag in the background.
The guy who just got that picture deserves an award for photography. It's the photograph of the decade, if not this part of the century.
Unless they try again, I think Trump just won the election.
Edit 2 - yup, he sure as shit did give himself a TR moment
That photograph will be in history books
Undoubtably.
he tried. he did a fist pump and shouted into into the microphone "fight!", but secret service rushed him away shortly after
Oh, is that what he said? It looked like he said "FUCK!"
We’ll know more soon but he seems to be able to be hauled off. However, there were loads of people behind him. I hope no one behind him got hit.
One of his supporters died from a stray bullet.
“No guys! Just because we have a troon/leftist/redditor attempt a political assassination literally every single year doesn’t mean this wasn’t staged!”
When have they attempted a political assassination? Keep in mind that talking about it does not equate to an attempt.
Edit: Downvotes, and three examples over the course of about 180 years, isn't an answer. Suffice it to say you have no idea what you're talking about.
Steve Scalise
Abraham Lincoln.
very gay
An AfD politician was stabbed in Germany in June.
"literally every single year"
Sit the fuck down. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Weathermen attacks: 1969, 1970, 1970, 1970, 1971 (Capital bombing), 1972, 1975. I'm missing a few, they made claim to 25 attacks. All on government buildings and officials. Not single target assassinations but the intent was clear.
I mean, anything is possible, and assassinations have been faked in the past...but he actually got shot in the ear. There's no fucking way.
I dare them to try.
In every false flag I've ever seen, crucial members of the regime are never in danger. Even when there was that one politician who paid a guy to come up and shoot an empty gun at him.
Hitting that crucial regime member... is unfathomably stupid, and would probably be rejected by that very person.
I mean technically correct since the Boeing wistleblower got killed.
I got curious and checked out r/politics. These people are amazingly stupid or paid or both
I mean, he definitely is going to benefit from this in the long run. But this is a really stupid thing to do when you are winning. Especially when you actually hit your candidate in your false flag.
That being said, if there was ever a way to make Trump tired of winning, this would be it.
Yeah, it's sad how quickly they will create a narrative where Trump is the bad guy.
In the other thread, Trudeau's news service is spinning the narrative that Trump got himself shot because he's had detractors removed from his events sometimes.
I'm literally hearing about this on the Archcast as they started live reporting it on steam
Seems they grazed his ear so he's alive but fuck, this going make shit go nuclear soon, we are going to see some take this as a sign to give no quarter to the left anymore.
Edit: you may want to watch his steam as Arch and Dev are going over some of the headlines and they are RIDICULOUS.
"Trump startled by loud noise and taken off stage at recent rally"
And the media will take no criticism for pushing the “this man is evil incarnate” message since 16
Meanwhile any time "mean words" are spoken by right wingers, they talk about stochastic terrorism.
Exactly
Remember when multiple assassination attempts against Republicans happened at the most non-partisan idea possible -- a softball game -- and the media characterized it as how Republicans need to turn down the temperature?
What are you talking about? That wasn't political that was a suicide by cop, bro. Didn't you hear the fbi tell us that?
Independents on YouTube like even Ddaycobra is doing better reporting than CNN right now!
If mainstream media can't treat this responsibly, put their TDS away and actually fumble reporting this, they'll be irrelevant in 1-2 YEARS than a decade.
The mainstream media knows that they are partially responsible. They need to get the Alex Jones treatment a hundredfold.
I hope Dev gets off his retarded pro-centrist stance and realize IT IS THE LEFT THAT IS THE VIOLENT SIDE, AND ALWAYS HAS BEEN.
He still won't he went straight for "but muh both sides" during it
Over on reddit the lefty political subs are already insisting this was staged and fake. Doesn't matter to them that there were 50 000 live witnesses. Dev will be right there with them, refusing to accept reality.
Shades of the Floyd riots. When they thought everyone was on their side, they cheered the riots. When the numbers came in and the riots proved to be deeply unpopular, lefties started claiming false flag.
Dev is a lost cause. I rather his stuck on our side and be a give an inch punching bag
Actually being fair, he has straight up said it's the left that are responsible for this attempt, either directly or with their rhetoric.
He's joining Arch calling for calm as since Trump is alive, this not just wins him the election but if you stay calm, the authority and backing to BITCH SLAP the establishment left with no backlash.
Good on him.
Now the next step, getting him to fucking denounce the left and abandon them because unchecked leftist policies lead to suffering in the long term.
Let's hope this convinces Trump that giving the deep state lee-way is a bad idea.
Is Dev running cover for the leftist assassin?
"We need to speak out against violent extremism on both sides!"
No, he just doesn't want a civil war to break out.
Frankly, I doubt this will cause one. I think it might have just prevented one.
The election is secured.
If they try to cheat this one it will be lamppost time.
Given the fact that they orchestrated this, by proxy if not directly, I'd say it's lamppost time regardless.
At first I assumed indirectly, but now it seems it was a man with a rifle on a rooftop a fair distance away. Might very well have been a direct deep state attempt. Holy shit.
After the Floyd riots the right was convinced that there was no way in hell Biden could win, even with all the "fortification." People were fed up with the lockdowns, the incompetence of the stimulus, the brazen favoritism shown towards lefty domestic terrorists, the crime spikes, the incessant lies, etc. 2020 was supposed to be a slam dunk, as progressives could have hardly done a worse job on the PR front, you even had record levels of new gun owners.
But they went and stole it, and they did it so brazenly. Then the feds instigated J6, which prevented anyone in Congress from being able to contest the results and demand an investigation, and the federal and SCOTUS justices showed themselves to be cowards who would rather let the country fall into the hands of these demons than face the wrath of the NPC mobs.
It's wild to me seeing MAGA fanboys talk like this time it's different, after so many times being let down. No, get it through your thick skulls that our enemies have no shame, they have pride but they have no shame, and they'll do it again, because they know they can, because they'll face no consequences while the Sword of Damocles will fall onto anyone who resists. And if it becomes too obvious to deny they stole 2024, they'll say it was a good thing, because anything is justified to stop Orange Hitler.
If Trump makes it that far and wins, he now needs to purge. His life literally depends on it.
Of course it's secured. Israel needs Trump in office.
first thing he does to get back at the left after winning the election? give more money to Israel.
Israel does, buy netenyahu doesn't, because trump will push to end the Gaza conquest there and when that happens the Israeli left comes back and bibi's goose is cooked.
I first heard it and thought it was fake. Holy crap!
I figured crazed gunman with a handgun in the crowd. Nope, sniper on a rooftop. Uh oh.
Pretty impressive he managed to get up there. When Trump came by my town in 2016, he was at the convention center. Every place within 2 or 3 miles taller than a 2 story building had snipers on it.
They're saying around 400 feet, currently.
I guess that's the Biden regime for you.
Shots were from about 150 yards today. Looks like counter sniper had the shooter but hesitated.
Is that what it looks like?
They don't even reorient, they were looking right at where they then fired?
That's fucking wild.
They had eyes on, waited for the shooting to start, then headshotted the dude? Yeah, that stinks all the way up.
In still images from other cameras, their vest's are marked "Police." Anyone know if SS guys wear such markings? It would be odd to task the locals with counter sniper duties.
"Police" marked people were also the ones over the bodies. Kind of odd. Were the SS even there?
I'm exaggerating, obviously. But, yeah, it's weird. Seems like the locals might have sniped and then approached the shooter, while the SS...huddled?
Weaponized incompetence or actual incompetence? I'd wager a mix of both.
A Kennedy runs for president and doesn't get shot.
That's probably the weirdest part so far.
My predictions for the coming days.
Trump orchestrated the events.
Fake blood pack.
Why assassination is actually good.
Don't forget new anti-gun legislation.
Oh man, you think they're really that brazen? That would be hilarious.
It's exactly how the Brady Bill was passed. John Hinckley Jr. tried to kill Ronald Reagan, but hit his press secretary James Brady instead. His widow, Sarah Brady, led a gun-grabbing campaign that led to the bill's creation.
Never underestimate the depths these creatures will sink to.
Alright, Imp, you can have this one.
Theyre already pushing it on Twitter because it was confirmed the soyboy used an AR-15. "Trump wouldn't have been shot if you'd just LET US BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS YOU REPUBLIKKKAN RETARDS!"
You misspelled "Fed."
Literally already seen retards on reddit saying that.
Any footage of it, the media is going to try their damn best to hide it or edit it. Anyone with eyes will see their headlines don't match up with what just happened.
Here!
He looks fine, but he absolutely got shot in the fucking ear.
Then fist pumped as he was rushed off stage.
It sounded like the shooter took several aimed shots, and then he either started dumping rounds, or was being fired upon.
There's footage that is alleged to be the shooter, limp, being hauled away by troopers. Seems like fire was indeed returned, much to the shooter's detriment.
EDIT: That was not the shooter. That was likely either the dead or critically wounded crowd member. Shooter was a sniper on a roof, apparently hundreds of yards away. Still killed though, by all accounts.
God, that'll be a hell of a dangerous shot too. He probably would have fired from the crowd. Terrifying chance of over-penetration.
If initial reports are to be believed, he did kill someone (likely in the crowd), and then got killed himself.
Also, doubt he cared about overpenetration, if he had managed to shoot Trump directly.
There's so many people there I wouldn't be surprised if he hit multiple people in the crowd.
As for overpenetration, I meant the cops shooting back at him.
Ah, yeah, makes sense. Yup, certainly a terrifying situation for the security.
Yeah, according to TD, two dead, including the shooter, who was - based on initial reports (not sure how he was identified so quickly, I'll take it with a grain of salt - antifa.
EDIT: Antifa shit sounds fake. Sniper on the roof is legit, though, it seems. Hundreds of yards, potentially. Basically a headshot (unless it was shrapnel.) At first my thought was lunatic in the crowd with a pistol. Now I'm thinking more botched or unlucky professional job. This may have been legit deep state nonsense.
What is it with people and using guns (which they obviously don't have much experience with) in assassination attempts? Weren't the IRA able to terrify every politician with bombs? Every shooter seems to fail (except for the Japanese guy a few years back).
I don't know, this seemed relatively competent so far. It's much too early to say for sure but, as far as attempted assassinations go, this one was actually pretty well executed. Literally an inch or two and it would have succeeded. Seems to be from a couple hundred yards out at least, too. And Trump did turn his head right as the shot that hit him was fired.
Speaking purely on competence, this was much stronger than our usual fare.
I didn't think about that. This is getting crazier by the minute, I wonder how the media will spin this as more information comes out.
The video is on CNN and Fox.
Here's another with before, during, and after
Post Reported for: Rule 12 - Intentional Falsehoods / Disinformation
Post Approved: He seems to have been grazed by a bullet.
Patriots.win has the official Trump "Truth" post
I sense a busy night for you
A lot of glowies will be working overtime to try and goad someone into shooting Biden.
Why bother when he is either going to fall down and die on his own, their drugs will kill him, or his own people intentionally kill him.
Actually I guess they might shot him and frame "tHe RaDiCal RiGhT."
Probably not because there's not much of an evolving incident ongoing. I am pretty fucking angry about the couple of fed posts I've seen in other threads.
Based on modlogs I see one, potentially.
The other one...I'll just quote Thomas Jefferson (or whoever said it, it's disputed) here:
That's all the other "fedpost" said, essentially.
The government should fear us. That's not a call to violence. But they should be terrified we might at some point say "enough" to their absolute fucking bullshit. I stand by that.
They work for us. Not the other way around.
The government should fear the people, but given the specific context of what is happening today, the why in that insinuation is very dumb.
Yes.
Oh come on. More mindreading.
The government should fear the people. End of story.
That's the only "why" there ever was.
That’s what we call “being shot” back home.
New campaign poster just dropped:

Trump campaigns latest update as of 7/13 7:17 PM EST
I can't wait until he makes a post on Twitter. It'll be the Tweet heard round the world.
God, I really hope he says, "MISSED ME!"
Jr tweeted the fist image with the caption, "Trump will never stop fighting for America."
"You're fired!"
His truth post was just kind of a basic run down (kinda like I would expect any normal person to post if they'd been in a shooting), but it missed an excellent meme opportunity.
I do love the "much bleeding took place" line. Holy shit. Trump's hilarious, and I'm glad he's not dead.
Speaking of "fired," it's insane that, when Trump was shot, there were a bunch of signs behind him saying "Joe Biden, You're Fired."
This. Fucking. TImeline.
And "No Surrender", and pictures of his mugshot. Here we thought that was the picture of the election.
Honestly, the whole thing seems very humanizing for him. It's like that Shane Gillis skit where he said after Baghdadi's assassination, he came out of the war room and looked like a normal guy that had just seem some shit. I'm very confident he's telling the truth when he said he heard the bullets going by. He would have heard the crack and the whiz.
I bet Steve Banon is probably losing his mind right now that he can't be on air because they are holding him in jail.
Terrible shot, absolutely terrible. Missed at a hundred and fifty yards! Hillary should fire him, but the Secret Service already did that.
"C'mon man, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye, no, I'm serious, Jack!" - Biden
I thought the media loves to broadcast shootings but we'll try to bury this
Didn't you hear?
Trump slipped on stage when he heard a loud noise.
And killed two people.
Alright what do you guys think? Deep state assassination attempt or lone wolf? My gut says no lone wolf could reasonably get this close to nailing him, but that a deep state assassination attempt wouldn't miss unless intentional, but attempting to kill and failing only helps Trump.
Deep state, but they paid some unstable tranny to shoot him because it thinks trump is gonna hunt them all down for sport. That's my bet.
Given how some in my circle talk I half expect the shooter to be a guy I know.
Yea, even if it was the deep state, they'd have to cover their asses and have a patsy pull the trigger in case he gets caught. And patsies usually aren't the most reliable because you have to take who you can get.
I literally just saw a meme today poking fun at the chain of assassins to kill Padme in Episode 2, but honestly, Palpatine REALLY wouldn't want anyone capable of following the chain all the way back to him.
The deep state creates lone wolves by saying "love this" / "hate this enough to kill it" on all channels until someone does. They do have a very large organization with a chain of command but they prefer to not get caught, so they use the media to incite other people to take action.
Probably some lone schizo. An actual assassination attempt by the Deep State 1) doesn't hit a friendly and 2) actually tries with something more than a pistol or light rifle.
Certainly possible. I said right after the fortified election in 2020 that I wouldn't be shocked if they offed Joe, but in retrospect I was seriously underestimating just how unpalatable Kamala is to even the deep state. Genuine leftist lunatic is a possibility, and if so the fault also lies with the entire media apparatus.
Initial impression was lone wolf. Leaning more toward deep state now that it turned out it was a rifleman on a roof, not a dude with a handgun in the crowd.
Initial impressions are always sketchy, but I've heard everything from 150 meters to "several hundred yards." If that wasn't shrapnel, that's a fairly decent shot and, depending on range, could be a pretty damn amazing shot.
Either botched or very unlucky professional job, is now my at least current impression.
The consensus seems to be that it was a dude who climbed up a roof behind the rally and had a clear shot with a rifle from around 150 yards away. Secret service fucked up big time, intentionally or unintentionally. Eye witness account is circulating on Twitter saying people were frantically pointing the shooter out to police for a couple minutes before he fired. We'll see if more info comes out put that looks to be what happened as of now.
Yeah, not explicitly pro-level, but still pretty decent to get that close to a killshot for a casual.
And, yeah, SS fucked up, one way or the other. Lunacy.
Biden three days ago: 'It’s time to put Trump in a bullseye'
What a coinkydink!
As a zoomer, I feel like I'm witnessing the equivalent of that historic moment in the 80s when an assassination attempt was put on Regan
That's because you are.
A Boomer family member just remarked how it reminded him of Regan's assassination attempt.
What starlit did this dummy want to fuck, I wonder?
My money is on some onlyfans thot.
God knows. We'll find out in a couple days.
For the memes, I hope it's Rosey O'Donnel.
My husband just mentioned it.
I also reminded him that it brought in the Brady Bill. Is that still a thing?
The Brady Bill sunset in the early 2000's. It literally expired out of law. The Republicans almost extended it.
Oh, I didn't know those things could expire.
Shit, I guess that would also be true of the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Act of 1972
You have to actually write it into the law otherwise it's permanent.
The only way the originally could get this passed was with the Sunset Clause. That's why it's in there. Thank fuck for that, though.
I remember being in high school for the Columbine shootings, and I remember waking up to 9/11. There are certain moments that invade and imprint on your mind.
As a millenial it's somewhat reminiscent of 9/11, though not quite as significant.
This is closer to Osama's death than 9/11, tbh.
It's crazy that sometimes I have to go into a lot of detail about 9/11 to explain to people how fucking nuts it was. Especially for anyone in the military at the time.
I can't even begin to imagine what an absolute trip through the Warp that must have been for anyone in the military when that went down.
The stories are out there. Most of it is utter panic. Real short and sweet since this isn't the thread to go into detail, but:
That is wild. Thank you for sharing.
No problem, just hit me up later if you want more details.
All that chaos only to learn it was our own government :(
No it wasn't, and all the available evidence shows it was Al-Qaeda.
It definitely was. Well, the Feds, Israel and the Saudis. Just had a few Al-Qaeda guys fly the planes.
Old B-52 crew guys showing up is both funny and makes complete sense. That is some serious responsibility to shoulder.
In every case I heard, they didn't need the pilots, but that ain't gonna stop those flyboys from trying.
And as you note, it's not crazy. Normally, militaries haven't needed to pull full-on civilians back; but I think there were pilots during Black Buck 1 who hadn't flown the Vulcan bomber in years that needed to get retrained.
Alpha is one step above normal. You mean Delta?
FUCK.
I always got that backwards!
Funny how this site crashes when something like this happens. Is it obvious by now that we can't coexist with these animals?
Edit: I'm removing the last part of my comment since I know the subhumans who tried to assassinate Trump will try to censor me.
I don't see any reason not to assume the same people who tried to kill Trump are fucking with a website that's largely pro-Trump.
If it was a leftist (which let's be real, it probably was) going nuclear in response is the only choice. Arrest every single person who has cheered this shit on, or encourage it.
Surprisingly, may have been deep state directly.
Rifleman on a roof, at a fair distance.
I love the news is saying apparent shooting but is reporting the "shooter", not apparent shooter, is dead
I’m surprised it took this long. The media and the uniparty have been agitating for this for 8 years.

It was a real shooting. Sadly one atendee did die. Shooter is said to be an antifa member
https://communities.win/c/TheDonald/p/17teEQJZG2/-breaking-butler-police-departme/c
That's a meme account so I suspect a Sam Hyde-style "he done it" post.
I'm disappointed I haven't seen a Sam Hyde one yet, normally somebodies pretty fast with it.
I've seen at least 2 or 3 Hydes but most people don't fall for them anymore so I guess there have been a few others who've been thrown into the mix.
We need somebody new. Not sure who though, maybe Tim Pool? That would be pretty funny.
Hope he's OK. Looks like they got his ear.
And wild, the banner is telling me that both Richard Simmons and Dr Ruth passed away, too.
Edit: Marksman, with that narrow a miss. An inch to the left, he'd have been dead.
Aw. That's going to get buried in the news cycle. Weird guy, but so exuded so much positivity.
All this "fat positivity" probably did the poor guy in. :/
Teflon Don wins again, cunts.
Oh man I bet RFK Jr. is seething with jealousy right now, that would have been wormbrain's only chance of getting anyone to vote for him.
He was denied SS protection so he might end up dead.
Probably safer for a Kennedy to NOT have the SS around.
they call it gunshots, incident, assailant, shots fired.. the truest headline i saw was "alleged assassination attempt" lol.
What sissy reported this for misinformation? Just being rhetorical unless homie wants to share
Probably the pedo indian guy that keeps spamming us
Reuters is reporting it as shots fired at Trump Rally with one dead. Reddit is suggesting the dead guy is the shooter
Of course theyll try covering uo its an antifa fattie who tried the assassination
https://imgflip.com/i/8wxhva
He was never in any danger. The crowd doesn't go for cover, or try to escape? Secret service doesn't draw their weapons? He stands tall after supposedly being under attack? I don't think so, Tim. This is a staged op.
Go be a faggot redditor elsewhere
I don't know who you were trying to respond to, but I do know you've got the wrong person.
You're litterally parroting r pols talking points. And not unironically either
You should pay closer attention. You keep replying to the wrong person.
So another tds poster outing himself in kia2.
Alright, I'm just going to chalk your behavior up to brain damage. Sorry about your misfortune.
You're calling someone else brain damaged while saying that Donald Trump false flagged an assassination attempt?
You are a fucking loon.

Trump got fucking shot in the ear. Secret service does swoop in, as do the LEOs, with rifles. Many in the crowd do go for cover.
Shut the fuck up.
Or at the very least don't state it definitively. Holy shit.
EDIT: Initial reports, one in crowd dead, another in critical condition. Shooter dead. Again: Shut the fuck up, faggot.
EDIT 2: Shooter with a rifle on a roof for sure, "hundreds of yards away" according to some. This was real, and wasn't even some lunatic with a handgun, so it's actually worse than I initially suspected. Legit deep state hit, perhaps?
There are literally videos of the crowd taking cover, multiple shots being fired and armed security rushing on the stage:
https://x.com/icecastles22/status/1812254069576138762
Edit:
This is allegedly the body of the shooter being dragged off: https://x.com/LauraLoomer/status/1812263017721253889 (edit2: that's likely a victim, as reports seem to indicate the shooter was on a nearby roof)Edit 3: This might be the shooter's body on a nearby roof, according to Newsmax: https://x.com/ragipsoylu/status/1812267952961699975
That looks like three different agency uniforms, so I'm gonna say probably.
Why do you think that would be? They didn't hear gunshots?
Do you think he used blood pack or red paint to create a fake bullet wound, or did a shooter actually intentionally graze his ear all according to plan?
Clearly they heard something. It's just that they look completely stupid and unbelievable hunched over, looking around like they can't find their preferred brand of Metamucil in the vitamin aisle. As for the "wound", I find it difficult to tell if there even was one.
Unless your suggesting the crowd was in on it, their reactions are indicative of nothing.
I think this might be the most engagement kia2 has had in years.
