Trump’s second assassination attempt is shocking, but attempts on presidents’ lives are not rare in US history
While 4 presidents have been killed, many others have been victims of plots to end their lives − sometimes because of political anger, but many other times for incomprehensible reasons.
Was it an assassination attempt? Seems more like a concept of an attempt.
More seriously, it smells an awful lot like a staged distraction strategy, considering the SCOTUS Robert’s memo broke literally hours prior, and also considering crazy distraction stories were a go-to strategy of the Trump admin
I'm still VERY Confused why an American Holding a GUN is News?
The dude didn't even shoot. it doesn't even qualify for thoughts and prayers.
Well in Florida open Cary is illegal unless engaging in lawful hunting and fishing activities. Lots of little caveats like that all over the US
The only part that shocks me, well, puzzles me really, is that the potential shooter knew where and when to be at the club when there was nothing on Trump's schedule saying he would be there.
It’s because every Sunday, he plays golf at whatever of his golf clubs is nearest to his last event. The secret service begged him not to do that.
When Obama played golf, he played on courses on military bases that are secure by design.
Trump is a creature of habits.
When he's at Mar-A-Shit-Go, he likes to go golfing at this particular golf course of his. So. it's only a matter of time before trump shows up at the golf course; which, all this guy would have had to do is, hang around and wait for it.

And that's why the Secret Service is as comprehensive as it is. Ultimately, the democracy responds to problems.
The only thing shocking about it is that this shit didn't start sooner. Fuck, if I so much as flip the bird at the driver in the car next to me, there's a non-zero chance the response will be a bullet in my face.
If I directed the amount of hate and caused the amount of damage to the number of people that Trump has, I expect I'd look like Swiss cheese before I could do much as put the mic down.
People scoff at the secret service for a couple of supposed close calls, but the fact that this isn't happening on a weekly basis speaks volumes in support of their competence.
