"We are at the point where the president's own voters are doing QAnon-style symbol analysis of his White House. That's a bad sign!" For him.

Nine voters who voted for Trump at least twice told The Bulwark that they believe Trump may have staged the shooting at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Some noted that the circumstances of the shooting seem implausible, given the level of security that follows the president.

Even the deplorable paste-eaters are starting to catch on.

No s*&^. Wait until they read the actual story of Butler, PA, no the one they've been clinging to.

All the assassination attempts have been for attention.

They're all fake.

All of them.

Exactly the case as in Butler.

What Butler and Washington proved is that even rank amateurs can get close enough to Trump to be a real threat.

This implies:

1) They had help from the inside

2) They were never actually a real threat

One of the implications of MAGA turning against Trump in Butler is that they now consider it possible that he would murder a man or two as part of a staged assassination attempt.

Well, they're right.

Dead because they were murdered.

It is not appropriate to call what happened at Butler and other places conspiracy theories.

Identify them for what they are: mysteries.

The kind of mysteries that should never collect around a president unless he abnormally chaotic, up to something, or both.

The golden dance hall was:

$200,000,000 and funded by himself.

then

$300,000,000 and funded by kickbacks from businesses doing business with the government

Then $400,000,000 and funded by the taxpayers

and now

$1,000,000,000 and crammed into a house oversight bill by the GQP.

Where'd the $300,000,000 go?

Same place the inauguration money went into the orange chomos bank account.

I don't want to hear one ------- word ever again about Hunter Biden you hypocritical piles of excrement.

Let's see,
1) gunman rushes a secret service checkpoint
2) multiple shots are heard
3) suspected that gunman got at least ONE shot off before fire was returned
4) only person hit was an officer in their bp vest (1x)
5) last 3 information I have says forensics STILL trying to determine source of that shot (FF?)
6) gunman subdued without being shot (reports fail to mention taser use; assumption: it wasn't)

Honestly, we are expected to believe that a group of highly trained and dedicated security personnel firing multiple shots at close/PB range vs. an observed armed threat that may have already discharged a firearm while actively breaching a security checkpoint in close proximity to the Pres, VP and other high value admin. officials ALL MISSED with the possible exception of hitting one of their own.

The Washington Post keeps dutifully referring to it as a "shooting."

It's not really a shooting if the alleged assailant did not fire any shots.

Has pedo 47 cracked anymore jokes about the firefighter who had his head pulped at the Butler klan rally?

Only a muchbrain dumbf*&^ would think any of the three "assassination" attempts were legit.

The closest was the guy in the bushes outside Mar a Lago.

But he had an SKS (notoriously minute of man accuracy) with a scope literally duct taped to the gun and was sitting visible in bushes a few holes ahead of Trump, meaning he had ZERO chance of getting any level of meaningful shot at Trump.

The others are so riddled with colossal failures and "huh?" moments the most plausible explanation (Occam's Razor and all) is they were staged by the campaign/administration. Hell, Butler saved the campaign, so of course they're going back to that well.

Funny thing is, even MAGA isn't dumb enough to fall for it this time because even they're calling shenanigans.

Hillary was in more danger dodging sniper fire on the tarmac than Trump has ever been at any point in his entire life.
