    It seem like he was hit. Blood was on his right ear in one shot. Unclear if that’s because he was hit there or if he touched it after touching something else bloody.

    He was escorted away on foot with secret service.

    Edit: reports that one bystander and the shooter are now dead.

    Claims the suspect was a man named Mark Violets. (This ID may be wrong no official sources covering this)

    Biden condemns the act.

              The biggest. People are always telling him just how big of removed he is. Maybe the greatest removed of all time.

              I really hate the guy but if you’ve never had a near-death experience you wouldn’t understand that your logic is a bit weird in the moment. it takes more than a couple of moments for your brain to catch up with reality. his shoes are special thick lift shoes to make him seem way taller because he’s extremely vain. if he fell out of his awkward tall shoes when he ducked, he probably would have been preoccupied in the moment with not appearing short and weak (his true form) until the reality caught up to him. I don’t doubt at all that some sycophantic pr stooge was yelling into his earpiece to “look triumphant, look triumphant!!” when he was getting back up though.

        Yep.

        I fully expect at least several “retaliatory” attacks against democrats in the next week by rabid MAGAts.

        I wonder whether that agent was just waiting for his chance to clock him good
