I’m not buying this. How does a trained sniper miss that badly? I bet this was staged by Trump’s own team to try to make him a sympathetic figure.

Do you not think if this happened to Biden the first thing right-wingers would be saying is it was staged? What happened here is terrible but at least don't be a fvcking hypocrite.
Everyone at the rally goes through a metal detector and bags are searched.
Probably a sniper outside the venue.

One report is showing the area and it looks totally flat. So not like someone was on a building. Starting to wonder if someone managed to get a gun past the Secret Service? One report is saying law enforcement swarmed someone and took them.

It wouldn't happen to Biden because the right does not behave like the left.
Doesn't sound like it though? Sounded like people heard shots coming from a section of bleachers, and then apparently the Secret Service were hustling someone away after the fact. If someone did manage to smuggle a gun in there it's a Secret Service fvckup of the highest order.. jeezus. 3D printed guns are a thing (albeit with a short shelf-life), so I don't think metal detectors alone are adequate.
Secret Service was part of the plot.
Secret Service is not part of Deep State. They even tried to intervene on the FBI during the illegal Mar-A-Lago raid.
Holy F*ck! He was definitely hit with something. He grabs his ear/face before the secret service gets him down. I hope they find out who did that. There's no place for that in our country.

Name one Democrat policy that isn't childlike in it's reasoning.
Because you asked, below are some possibly non-childlike and Democractic-led policies implemented during Biden's Administration
Chips and Science Act - Investment in domestic manufacturing, jobs, and re-shoring critical parts of the supply chain for our economy and national security. Aimed at competition with China.
PACT Act - healthcare for Veterans affected by burn pits and other toxic substances.
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act - Investment in roads, bridges, ports, rail, clean water, waste water, energy grid, broadband, etc.
IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) - Makes necessary climate and healthcare investments while aiming to lower inflation by reducing the deficit. Key provisions are that it allows medicare to negotiate prescription drug prices for the first time ever and caps insulin for medicare recipients at $35. It also more than funds itself by saving money on prescriptions thanks to negotiating lower prices, a 1% tax on corporate stock buybacks, a 15% minimum tax on corporations earning over 1B, and properly funding the IRS to catch tax cheats. Both the CBO (nopartisan Congressional Budget Office) and Penn Wharton estimates it will cut the deficit by over $200B
That was completely uncalled for. Ban this scum ahole, mods.
Agreed; I can't stand trump but people who approve of this have no place in our political discourse.
Agreed. I hate Trump and I know he is the worst thing to happen to America in a century but violence isn’t the way forward. I think Trump has done enormous and long lasting damage to the US but physically harming him isn’t right and will only serve to make him a martyr.
“Ruben Gallego, the leading Democratic Senate candidate in Arizona, denounced the apparent shooting as “absolutely horrible.” “Political violence should never be tolerated,” he said, adding, “I hope President Trump and everyone at the rally is safe.””
