Looks like someone took some shots at prez candidate Donald Trump at a rally in PA. From the videos I’ve seen, it looks like he did get grazed.

      Somebody could shoot Trump on 5th Avenue and nobody important would care.

        Would absolutely not care about Trump. Would absolutely care about the incensed conservative mob with minimal brain cells, rage and guns starting shit

          Their rage is mostly impotent. When push comes to shove, I think the vast majority of them will stay home and continue posting on Truth Social.

              That was the best they had from all around the country. Mostly thieves and vandals, stealing a laptop and a podium, smearing shit on the walls. Very few actually prepared for violence. If shit went down nationwide, those few violent ones would not be together in one place, so they’d pose far less of a threat.

          Unless there is someone to direct that rage, they’ll have no idea what to do with it, or where to direct it.

            There will always be people that direct that rage, Trump is a cult leader but he’s not the only influencer

              trump is a fortuitous puppet. he ran for president in the past too, but he didn’t win because the times weren’t right for it.
