What They Wanted
Steyn Online ^ | 13 July 2024 | Mark Steyn

Well, I guess the narrative has moved on to the next plot twist. As Joe Biden said just a few days ago:

We're done talking about the debate. It's time to put Trump in the bullseye.

It wasn't quite a bullseye: the bullet struck his ear.

Which is to say the would-be assassin - one Thomas Matthew Crooks of Bethel Park, Pennsylvania - came within rather less than an inch of killing the Republican presidential nominee. From the intended target upon his discharge from hospital:

I was shot with a bullet that pierced the upper part of my right ear. I knew immediately that something was wrong in that I heard a whizzing sound, shots, and immediately felt the bullet ripping through the skin. Much bleeding took place, so I realized then what was happening.

God bless America!

The other night my youngest expressed a wish to see The Manchurian Candidate - the original, of course. And, as great as it is, its famous ending seemed an artifact of a lost and somewhat innocent age: a man is able to stroll into a political rally and access easily a high-up vantage point with a direct line of sight to the nominee.

Couldn't happen now.

And yet it just did:

Democrat Bennie Thompson, ranking member, House Committee on Homeland Security

Democrat Bennie Thompson introduced the absurdly named "Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act (HR 8081)" on April 19, 2024.

Democrat co-sponsors include Reps:
<><>Yvette D. Clarke,
<><>Troy A. Carter Sr.,
<><>Frederica Wilson,
<><>Bonnie Watson Coleman,
<><>Jasmine Crockett,
<><>Joyce Beatty,
<><>Barbara Lee,
<><>Steve Cohen

Question: who put these Democraps up to facilitating a Trump assassination?

Cong Bennie Thompson
<>headed the infamous Jan. 6th Commission
<>crafted a bill to strip Trump of his Secret Service detail.
<>was a black separatist early on (his resume enhancer?)

Thompson aide and field director, tax paid Jacqueline Marsaw
on social media, wished Trump’s assassin had “better aim.”

Shooter was about 150 yards from Trump on a rooftop with a direct line of sight to the stage.

It defies every security protocol ever written that this rooftop was not secured, and law enforcement personnel were not standing up there.

If Bennie the Commie Bastard, had any honor, which he doesn’t he would resign.

CNN analyst says “Donald Trump and the people around him perceive themselves to be under threat, and that is not legitimate”

This is just after someone tried to blow trump’s head off on live TV

It is hard to believe they DIDN’T want this to happen.

They amp up the rhetoric. They refuse to send law enforcement to interrogate people who make threats, and when they do allow it, they don’t punish. They tried to pass legislation to remove ALL protection for Trump, and denied requests by the Trump campaign to increase Secret Service protection, even as the threat level increased dramatically.

Yes. Hard to believe they didn’t intend this to happen.

I saw the photo of the dead assassin.

He is not 20 years old.

Come on people!

Trust your own eyes.

The Democrats control the media.

They are going to lie!

It's time to put Trump in the bullseye.

Dementia Joe has lost his filter. Just like he bragged in 2020 about having assembled the larges voter fraud organization in U.S. history, Biden admitted he was part of a plot to assassinate Trump. He should be tried for conspiracy after leaving office, unless the courts rule he is permitted to pardon himself for this.

Jill and Hunter Biden are stubbornly holding on to power, creating a mess for the Dems. Many Dems are sure they will lose in November.

If they can’t beat Trump, they will kill him.

NO! This needs to be repeated on every thread and on every social media platform, because it is the TRUTH!

It defies every security protocol ever written that this rooftop was not secured, and law enforcement personnel were not standing up there.

EVEN MORE defying is how the shooter walked with his rifle toward the event to the building and climbed on the roof without being noticed or responded to after rally attendees alerted the SS and local LEs of his gun and his presence?

Who helped him?

Efkgsplain that!
