    His hair looks a bit ruffled, unless it was a CFK type setup.

    Cynical, moi?


    Either way, this could play right into his hands. Or ear.

    Kirschneresque? One can be forgiven for-thinking so.


    President Biden has just condemned the attack on President Reagan.

    Seems two people are dead one being the sniper. So I doubt it's been stage managed.

    Agreed. Clearly an assassination attempt and now even more tragic that two innocent people are dead.

    I unreservedly take beck my comment about the possibility of any kind of stage management.

    Clearly that it's not the case.

    His ear wound is being rumored to be from a shattered teleprompter. Who knows? We’ll learn more tomorrow.

    Admittedly that was my first thought that it was staged, but that would have had been a heck of a shot to only get the ear

    One person in the crowd was killed and the shooter shot by counter sniper

    Apparently, this is the shooter....a republican voter

    The conspiracy theories have already started, but I'm not going down that rabbit hole.

    However, apart from the fact that the Secret Service appears to have screwed up, why was the SS sniper apparently scoping out the shooter, but didn't fire on him until the shots were fired?

    https://twitter.com/sentdefender/status/1812300234241757274/

    Further, there's an eyewitness who talks to a BBC reporter, claiming that he reported sighting the shooter on a roof to police, but he wasn't heeded apparently, or the police were confused.

    Someone in the security services has a lot of explaining to do because the official footage, plus other footage on social media plus eye witness accounts make the handling of the whole situation look a total shambles.

    And that’s my polite watered-down version of what I think about it.

    Pity. Bad aim

    Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by clean end!

    The would-be assassin was a Republican.

    I wonder what that adds to the interpretation of events?

    No need to be polite.

    The SS fucked up.

    It'll be interesting to find out why they cocked it up big time.

    Apparently, it wasn't a bad aim, it was DJT had moved his head....now I don't like the guy myself, but to wish him ill, isn't just me. Its a shame that the Maga rats don't have a brain in their skull, or that its not functioning at all. Don't get me wrong, Biden is an embarrassment to US politics

    Got to agree. The US has big problems.

    The US was already in a bad spot, and came close to being in a very bad spot indeed.
