Donald Trump rally shooting being probed as assassination attempt: AP sources
Shooting at Trump rally is being investigated as assassination attempt, AP sources say
Will this get the GOP to finally support gun bans?
Many GOP events already ban guns at the events, they just dont ban it outside them
Perfectly logical for them, since Republicans aren't the right people to be shooting at.
No, it will get them to support preemptively shooting those in the out-group.
*continue supporting

me: "why?"
Weird how a guy whose administration directly and indirectly killed a lot of people, plans to up his body count in a second term, who's committed multiple crimes, including insurrection and espionage, but seems both unlikely to ever see justice and furthermore appears to be likely to be elected back into office would prompt an assassination attempt. It's the small scale of "those who make peaceful revolution impossible" quote. Have a functioning justice system where you can just trust that people who do crimes will be put in prison and a functioning political system where you can just trust that the absolute worst people won't get all the power, and assassinations become the province of the insane rather than an entirely unsurprising outcome.
Yeah that's weird but CNN reporting this too:
Federal Election Commission records show that a donor listed as Thomas Crooks with the same address gave $15 to a Democratic-aligned political action committee called the Progressive Turnout Project in January 2021.
After seeing the photoshoot Trump got from this I hope Europe can pull our collective shit together once Trump pulls the US out of NATO and stops helping Ukraine.
I guess I am not sure what else it would be considered...
False flag operation is another term to consider
An assassination attempt presumes the goal was to kill the candidate
Yes, but I'm not sure what you're suggesting. If it's that this was a deliberate miss (maybe to give Trump a boost) it seems implausible that anyone would plan to shoot from some distance, aiming so close to the candidate that the bullet clips his ear, but not killing him. If the aim were to miss deliberately then shooting that close to his head would risk the plan backfiring completely.
This is pretty bad. There are reports that a bystander was killed. It's gross to call the shooter a hero.
Why would they be a hero? They helped trump.
Nobody in their right mind wants this. It only helps Trump.
I have seen zero people saying that
E: Never mind I see it.
It’s not gross.
I'd be pleased if Trump never existed. It's still gross to call the shooter a hero.
He wasted his life and didn't even succeed in his goal, or did he? I know sounds nuts but by the looks this attempt on Trump life has helped him. Look at that goddamm photo op. Bullshit.
