Is this possible?

Yes.

Surely your priors have to chalk this up to photoshopped click bait.

And the big fat pussy still left the stage. The ghost of TR is wondering where the men are these days.

Again, not a good look. This says more about you than anything else.

Stay classy...

Watching the video of the event, it appears that Trump quickly took evasive action - but I was surprised at how long it took for 1) Secret Service to get on stage and 2) get him off the stage. If that guy was a better shot, this might have ended differently.

So that wraps up 2024 Presidential Election… Does it play down ballot?

Reagan’s approval rating went up 22% after he was shot.

Biden just can’t catch a break.

It's not the movies.

Trump went down because he was grazed on the ear by a bullet... There's pain from the bullet and pain from the air pressure "slap".

The Secret Service acted fairly quickly AFTER they realized what was happening. They would not let Trump up, covering him with their bodies. If you listen close to the tape, you'll hear somebody yelling "Shooter down! Shooter down!"...The Secret Service did not let him up until then. They then shielded him all the way to the SUV.

I think he did. Without this afternoon, tomorrow’s pundit shows would have all been focused, echoing, and amplifying the calls for him to drop out. It would have been over. The Biden dementia story just got moved to the back page, and by the time it comes back up, it’s likely too late to replace him on the ticket.

Now, I think it’s very likely that today’s events drove the nail in his November coffin, but it bought him a week at the least.

Interesting observation. You might well be right.

I think Trump’s can only go up by 2.2%… That’s all the room that’s left…But it’s likely enough.

Ok, I've rewatched that part four or five times. You're right, I'm wrong. Trump did go down on purpose.

What sad crazy thing to wake up to.

The guy was killed by counter sniper fire. Could well be...

Don’t mind Jon. That’s just the sheer frustration of seeing somebody ostensibly on his side do something colossally stupid and damaging to his core ideals and beliefs. It’s the same way a number of us felt on January 6, a few years back…

I don't recall any of us saying that the Jan 6 riot was a good thing. We've disagreed on whether Trump was responsible or whether punishments fit the crimes, but none of us were joyous at the event.

[Jolly]

BTW, you reckon the Dems are going to introduce another bill to strip Trump of his Secret Service protection?

And I haven’t seen Jon overjoyed or even remotely happy about today. He’s frustrated, and I get why.

He's a convicted felon, dont'cha know?
