Since most lefties seem to be angry the bullet missed, that somehow Trump caused the violence against himself, or that he must have faked it I realized something. This is a group that faked an insurrection, a whole lot of dirt, and Russian interference. They aren't complaining that Trump faked it, they are saying they would have done a better job faking it.
The more sane lefty friends of mine have basically said:
Fuck! The last thing the world needs is for Trump to be elevated to hero
So, what are the chances that Biden gets "Assassinated"?
He'd get 'assassinated' by a strong wind, I mean did you SEE the 'Mr Burns walk' he did after his first statement after the assassination attempt?
I have no doubt they might've planned that but at this point there's no point, killing Trump was the BIG one that without accomplishing made anything else obsolete. If they kill Biden now, the Secret Service and FBI are FUCKED, they'll have no defence to not just mass dismissals but even 'reorganisation'. With Trump still alive It'll also make it look like HE is the one 'divinely protected' so you might get people even more vigorously backing him.
If you think they'd do a fake assassination attempt with Biden, too risky to as you can't manhandle him as he could die from that!
Keep in mind that, before this Trump stuff, the media had been laser-focused on saying how demented Joe was, and how he needed to step down.
In this sort of scenario, they don't care if he lives or dies; in fact, there are powerful forces that would love for the Joe problem to go away.
An attack, successful or otherwise, that they can blame on Trump supporters, seems like exactly what they'd want.
While the news is fake(and gay), from what I've been reading seems to imply that all the Liberal movers and shakers have basically given up and are quietly waiting to loose horribly come november.
It's not just the attempted assassination. It's Biden - he's gone full old man cranky, refusing to step aside, and promising to take them all down with him if they force it. An idiot monster of thier own making.
Personally, I desperately pray no one is stupid enough to try for a fake setup. For one, I don't want Biden dead - on the contrary, I want him alive as long as feasible so he can suffer - but the left are unhinged enough that an attempt on Biden would setoff an absolute shitfest of a firestorm. Everything they accuse the right of, they are, so giving them an excuse to go murderously unhinged would not be a good time.
Lets hope things are nice, peaceful, quite, and a gentle slow roll into a Trump victory.
There's another factor though, who'd replace him?
We all can say 'Kamala' but then who wants to be her VP knowing that they'd be killing their career?
I get the blaming on Trump supporters but I think that without them killing Trump, it's not as easy to frame them for it.
Literally doesn't matter. They're in desperation mode now. Any 'Trump and his people are violent' rhetoric helps distract from that they just tried to kill Trump.
Trump is so far ahead any shakeup is good for Dems and the Deep State.
Even "Kamala with Joe Biden martyred" might stand more of chance than the current "Demented Joe vs Trump the Blessed Martyr" narrative.
Any violence against Biden or the left right now would be great for Biden and the left. Almost any outcome is still an improvement for them. They're that fucked at the moment.
I had this exact same thought soon after I heard about the idiot taking a shot at Trump.
Just to be clear, I don't think the Trump attempt was any sort of conspiracy, or anything more than: 1. The fucking left and their 24/7 cradle to grave indoctrination stuff caused this guy to snap. They wind him up for basically his entire life (from 12 years old he's only known the world in which the media and online is 100% rabid "Trump is HITLER!" propaganda for the left), he's under constant peer pressure at school and everywhere else, telling him how much of Nazi he and his side is (read the quote from his fellow students how, in most of these classes he was known as the only person on the right side of most arguments), and 2. DEI USSS woman had some shit tier people working on this.
That being said, they now have literally the fucking perfect "solution" for their Joe Biden problem dropped in their laps once again (just like COVID got them in last time). If they can get someone to make an attempt on Biden, either he dies or steps down, and then they have tech/media go absolutely WILD with, "See! Look how Trump's psycho base retaliated! We told you they are the threat to democracy!", and all that garbage.
It's so absolutely ridiculous that this is the state of politics in our country, but the same thing came to my mind as yours. This is 100% the solution to their Biden problem, and it's not hard to imagine it magically happening.
Personally, just to be clear, I think it was a complete and utter conspiracy.
It's now being reported (and we'll see if that holds true), that there was actually a police sniper nest inside the building that the shooter was on top of. It's all just too fucking stupid.
And, based on other reporting, the (alleged) shooter aimed his rifle at a police officer who interrupted him, like a second before firing. If true, that turns it from a decent shot, to an amazing shot. In which case I don't believe he made it at all.
I wouldn't be shocked to learn a police sniper inside the building took the shot. I also wouldn't be shocked if a police officer or two in the area 'commit suicide' in the coming days.
Yup. This is what people need to keep in mind, and what I'll keep warning about. They have every incentive to have a 'deranged Trump supporter' try or succeed to take out Joe. Dangerous territory.
There've been some rumors that one of the shots was from 600 yards away based on the trajectory or whatever.
That would be similar to JFK with the patsy fallguy that can't shoot straight and the professional sniper that does the kill shot. The obvious patsy gives cover for the real sniper to get away, any evidence of a "second bullet" is hidden by the government.
With today's technology and knowledge I just don't believe there even is a level of incompetence that could allow what happened. Shooter clearly visible from overhead, for minutes if not tens of minutes, with civilians drawing attention to him. That it was a lone gunman is the conspiracy theory - could possibly be true, but deep state hit gone bad is so much more likely.
That seems way too specific but, what do I know, I'm very, very far from being an expert.
It's possible, although I think it would be easier to just station assassins in the building. The further out, the riskier the shot. If things are so "sloppy," why not just fire from the building you've "secured" from the inside, and yet left the roof open?
The furthest I'd be willing to go with the conspiracy angle would be, "they purposefully did such a shit job in the hope that some crazy would try it, and succeed". That's still the lesser of the two likely explanations here, though (vs. incompetence).
There is simply no way I'd believe that they actively went out and got this guy - of all the fucking options - and had him be their shooter. It's way more believable that the simpler thing happened: you've got the left pushing another DEI idiot to the top of the USSS (I would love to see the left do the obvious thing when confronted with that line of questioning, and go, "No. Look. Here are all the candidates we had for the head of the USSS, and here is why this particular woman was the most qualified", but you know they can't possibly do that, because there is zero fucking way it was true...), she runs a shit outfit (filled with more of her "We need at least 30% women!" hires), and people got complacent, never wanted to be the one to take responsibility, and make decisions, and this debacle was the result.
Anyone that works knows this one simple fact: there are a lot of people that are absolute shit at their jobs, and they are left in place when management is also shit.
In this particular case? We'll never actually get to the bottom of it, because the left is going to predictably close ranks around the idiot they put in charge, she's going to say all the "right" talking points like, "I take 100% responsibility. The buck stops with me", all the while doing the exact opposite, and the media is going to blast the idiot masses with, "All these attack on her are simply far-right sexism, and misogyny!"
160 yards is a very easy shot.
Under ideal circumstances, absolutely.
If the reporting that he was just busted by an officer, and just took his scope off target, it becomes a much better shot. His body is like half adrenaline at that point, and he has to get his target back in the second or two before he gets fucking ended.
That's an amazing shot.
