Within minutes after Trump shooting, misinformation started flying. ‘Everyone is just speculating’
Associated Depressed ^ | July 14, 2024 | DAVID KLEPPER and ALI SWENSON

WASHINGTON (AP) — Within minutes of the gunfire, the apparent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump spawned a vast sea of claims — some outlandish, others contradictory — reflecting the frightening uncertainties of the moment as well as America’s fevered, polarized political climate.

...

Claims of an inside job or false flag are unsubstantiated

Many of the more specious claims that surfaced immediately after the shooting sought to blame Trump or his Democratic opponent, President Joe Biden, for the attack.

Some voices on the left quickly proclaimed the shooting to be a false flag concocted by Trump, while some Trump supporters suggested the Secret Service intentionally failed to protect Trump on the White House’s orders.

Will anyone ever ask Biden if he regrets saying that there should be a bull’s-eye on Trump?

Not until they are absolutely convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that Biden can answer the question the way it was written for him word for word.

The Hierarchy of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate

1. Nations hostile to The United States (China, Iran, Venezuela, etc…).
2. The Democrat Crime Families (Soros, Bidens, Clintons, Pelosi, etc…).
3. The Democrat Party Politicians
4. The functioning sub areas of the Syndicate (Press, Govt bureaucrats, social causes, etc…).
5. The gullible lackeys of the Democrat party.

Please explain why a roof top, with ladder access, 150 yards from one top 20 highest value targets in the world, which had clear line of sight to both the stage and the egress route to the exit car, was left unguarded and uncovered? At a very bare minimum you have a uniform standing at the ladder.

No matter what resources they are using, local state federal, their own, the Secret Service owes the site. So all the lying and blame shifting does not address the fundamental fact that the Secret Service, which works for the Biden Regime, operated with criminal level negligence.

You got that right. Raise your hand if you can’t put your weapon away without looking at the holster. I mean seriously I can and do and never went to SS school. Raise your hand if you own an AR or AK and couldn’t ping a rooftop at 150 yards to at least keep some guy’s head down. Half of us on FR could do it and we never went to SS sniper school. The whole thing is ridiculous.

No shortage of conspiracy theorists on FR, either.

Thank you for your keen insight Chad. As if people in this government would attempt to criminally undermine, compromise and overthrow a presidential candidate and then a sitting president of the United States.

They're all tin foil hat wearing conspiracy theorist, right Chad?

Right Chad?

Relax everyone. FIB has officially stated that the shooter acted alone. And Epstein hung himself.

"No shortage of conspiracy theorists on FR, either."

When the government calls you a terrorist and that you should be eliminated and then an assassin tries, are you wrong to suspect the government?

Now tell me that "Diversity is Strength" or something equally nonsensical. Governments kill more people than any other cause of death, by far.

Some of them, but not all.

That’s why I didn’t list them.

All Democrat politicians are members of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.

Did you mean to muddy up this thread?

The assassin was on a ste l buildings roof. Those steel buildings are like paper to a bullet. Those buildings have to be chained to massive concrete blocks buried in the ground so they don’t blow away, they are like balloons. The SS sniper could have shot the assassin through the peak of the roof. There is no reason why this creep got off 7 shots other than incompetence or criminality.

Chad is a neocon moron that, due to President Trumps promise to end the Ukraine War, has the sads because the assassin missed.

Anything for the Ukraine installment of the Forever War right Chad?

“Did you mean to muddy up this thread?”

Not at all. But there are establishment republicans (e.g., Liz Cheney) that will do anything to get rid of Trump so the republican swamp can regain control. Remember, these establishment RINOs instead of enacting Trump’s agenda in 2017 enabled the Dems to block a lot of it.

I’m not speculating. The fact that a shooter was allowed to be ensconced on an unprotected roof top 130 yards away from the President, was able to get into position, and aim his weapon so he could shoot 9 minutes into Trump’s speech, tells me he was allowed free-access to that building in advance by someone in charge of security. Change my mind.

Hey Chad get back to me after the govt has followed you all over town for two years in black SUVs with no license plates and tried to run the husband down in your neighborhood while walking the dog using a car with no license plate. You’d be amazed at what you’ll believe about the govt. 😆

Then perhaps start your own thread on this matter because it looks like you are intentionally muddying the water.

"The conspiracy might merely be that the Secret Service decided not to assign their A-team to President Trump, and hope that someone was willing to take a shot."

The SS needs to stop hiring midget females who aren't as tall, or taller as the President, and only stand to his shoulders when on tippy-toes. That is a deliberate oversight, that leaves the man vulnerable to outside attack. A second shooter could have taken him out from the front at any time, while those girls were trying to unsuccessfully cover his body completely. You're supposed to provide full shield protection like a turtle shell. That certainly wasn't the case yesterday.
