No good will come of this.
Hypothetically, if a handful of psychos attempt to assassinate Biden as retribution, unsuccessfully, we might get a few fascists locked up.
This will energize his base and he will win the election. It will also mean Republican domination of the House and Senate. The next two years will be a clusterfuck as normal and barriers are demolished and regular people begin to realize they’ve elected fascism. The midterms will begin to look like a blue wave, but then they will point back to moments like this to declare the Democratic party “illegitimate” and remove them from ballot access, if midterm elections happen at all.
This is the end of any semblance of democracy in the US for at least a generation.
Oh look. Face-eating leopards.

Yeah: gotta be crisis actors, if Alex Jones taught us anything, right?
When it comes to the Republican party, every accusation has been an admission. It would be ridiculously on-brand to stage an assassination attempt. Just watch the response and tell me it isn’t for show.
You mean the response in the video? No, it doesn’t look like it’s for show to me.
The way they stood him up at the top of the ramp and waited for the photo op? Puh-lease!
Looks like you’re lost. Here you go:

He does have WWE experience
Sad that we’re so quick to censor a very valid opinion of what someone witnessed. Our “tolerance” will only help the fascists manipulate us and win.

No visible wound.
This photo may have (unfortunately) won him the race.
Nah, fuck that. Vote.
They will…
Fuck.
I viscerally hate the guy, but:
- Murder is just wrong, and political violence isn’t better when liberals do it than conservatives
- We don’t need him to become a martyr
- If he’s dead, we’ll never get a court ruling on his crimes
Never? You wouldn’t take a shot at Hitler? I mean, Hitler did.
The shooter was a registered Republican
Yeah, but also some reports that he donated to a liberal organization.
Yeah… Pretty weird.

Who pulls the trigger doesn’t matter. What matters is what the target plans to do if they survive.

Christ, his poll numbers were already daunting, but now this?

His hand got his ear. I fully believe this was staged.
Never go full Alex Jones.

$10 says staged. Perfect location, perfect timing, perfect day of the week.
Here comes the sympathy vote begging
Apparently the DA of that county confirmed 2 deaths. So, two people died.
Still think it was staged?
Looks fake
“Donald Trump has the runs as shots fired at Pennsylvania rally” Fixed it.
Coward! Real man keep standing!
This is the correct way to report on the story.
