That's still the best sign/T-shirt I've seen.
It was all theatre. A bloody, fatal theatre.
I was amazed at how fast that photo of Secret Service agents lifting up the child rapist in Butler appeared on billboards here, north of Pittsburgh. They lifted the felon up like he was the flag at Iwo Jima.
Again, all theatre.

...the problem is people are really eing harmed, are suffering, unemployed, incomeless and not being hired, drowning in debt, being kicked off medicaid, being fired and unlicensed when living/ working as a person who is trans, having their constitutional rights being trampled, and being murdered.

That’s in addition to the gunman.

Could it have been staged? Perhaps, but we know Trump is also a big coward. He’s not brave enough to be in a situation where he’d be close to the line of fire. Even if it wasn’t staged, he’s still a clown and a con man so he likely improvised his actions.

Obviously Trump did not give a shit about the man killed there. He even made some crude jokes about the widow preferring her slain husband being alive to a million dollars. He is a deranged sick fuck, so he would feel nothing if a few of his followers died, but he wouldn’t put his own life in harm’s way.

A bullet wound does not heal in less than 2 weeks without leaving a scar or a scab.

Or was the Biden admin in on the conspiracy?

Trump's team was hand picked 🙄

they were in on it.

Who in the F does he think he’s fooling? I’m hoping for a stroke or AAA to take him out. No time to fake those!!!

Did the hit man demand payment upfront just in case ??

did. They know his record of not paying

but Trump was not shot. That is a definite. Either the bullet whizzed close enough by his that it caused some bleeding or he hit his head on the podium or floor and that is what caused the bleeding. There is no way he got shot if there is no scar. Plus, why hasn't he released the medical records from Butler Hospital?

Even if it ever-so-slightly nicked him, that technically counts as being shot.

"these are my people. they are not here to shoot me." trump (jan 6)

Do you believe his doctor?

His ear was seen weeks later and it showed no such damage or trauma.

it was speculated that some of the glass from the Teleprompter hit his ear. I agree he was not shot. But it sure is strange how he posed for a photo op shortly after the injury, when people were still presumably in danger of being murdered.

Secret Service agents would have been fired for permitting that in a real life-and-death situation.

It was all photo op, and to rile up the MAGAts.

that one agent even scooted down so she wouldn't obscure a good look at Trump being all heroic.

He doesn't have the presence of mind to do any of that on his own. And wasn't he looking for his shoes, first?

Fear that his elevator shoes would remain on stage for the whole world to view was palpable.

But debris from something else was created because four LEOs near Trump were struck by it.

I think we have seen enough from these people that we can say a couple of dead rally attendees wouldn't make them lose any sleep. They've taken their senseless murder of hundreds of schoolgirls in their stride, so one or two magats are no big deal.

But here are the things that lead me to believe it was staged:

* A 20 year old maga kid who worked in the kitchen of an old age home was able to outwit the United States Secret Service and breach the security perimeter - by a lot - while carrying a gun bag. He was able to climb up on top of a white building while being dressed all in black, without being stopped.

*Said 20 year old, again dressed all in black, lay on top of the white building, with a gun, long enough for numerous rally attendees to point him out to police. No one did anything about him.

* The secret service knew he was on top of the building for 20 minutes before the shots, but did nothing about him. https://abcnews.com/US/trump-assassination-attempt-investigation-continues-new-details/story?id=112020474

*After the shot, the secret service violated ALL of it's own protocols to allow the target to stand exposed so a photo could be taken. This was before they could possibly have known that the threat was over.

*After the shot, there is video that is widely available of a secret service agent ushering photographers to a spot where the optimal photo could be taken, again before they could possibly have known the threat was over. And at this point, there was no reason for anyone to know the secret service would be violating all their own protocols to make the photo possible.

*The wound, which required a maxi pad in the first few days, was miraculously healed a week later, leaving no scab and no scar, despite the fact that the recipient is an old man with obvious health problems.

*We recently learned about a Russian plot to stage an identical event to help Orban get elected.

The rule of 3 for major conspiracies would be shattered. And what about the police? Were they in on it too?

Who did nothing.

And it seems like the Secret Service is riddled with magats. Don't forget that Joe had to get rid of a bunch of the Secret Service guys who were on his detail. He chose a whole new crew because he didn't trust the original ones. Joe is not a guy prone to doing a lot of purging of staffs, so I think his choice to install agents he knew he could trust shows that he did not trust many of the others.

And no, it wouldn't have required that all the present agents were on it. The leader of the crew who allowed him to stand up could have given an order to stop and then Cankles posed for the picture. Then the one who shot the shooter, and maybe the one who positioned the photographers. That would have been sufficient.

Not just the team leader, but the ones in the front too. Since some would have seen the kid, they would have had to be in on it too.

while doing nothing to stop him. Some DID know the kid was there. For TWENTY minutes. Somehow, they did nothing about it.

Whether they were in on it, or were ordered to do nothing about the reports or about the guy they could plainly see on top of the building, I don't know. But that's what happened.

Say "I was told to ignore the kid on the roof."

And their pensions?

Or any number of things these criminals would do to their lives and their families' lives?

To big to fire. Biden would not fire them anyway, and Trump would have gotten arrested. Then they could have written books and got rich.

They own the message. I have no problem believing his secret service and local PD are completely corrupted. Look at the entire Republican Congress and GOP controlled courts. They are all corrupt.

Years and years of abuse of children, hundreds of witnesses, the police, the head football coach, staff, the athletic director, the president of the university, coaches and administrators from other universities, many members of the press at the very least looked the other way for years and years.

If that conspiracy could occur to protect a stupid football program, do you really doubt that something much easier to accomplish could have been done to help Trump?

By Sandusky To the state police early on.

Republican governor Corbett gave a rookie trooper a desk and told him to investigate.

The PS trustees were also to blame, but Paterno was railroaded, he died and couldn’t defend himself, he was the perfect scapegoat.

I won't give Paterno a pass. With the glory, the fame and the perks comes responsibility.

A little different, but a lot of the same elements.

These guys have no imagination. They probably got the idea from the movie.

Pulp Fiction, Call of Duty (VG), Independence Day, Silence of the Lambs, Patton…why not Parallax View?

There are so many unanswered questions and things that simply don't add up. We probably won't have all the answers in our lifetime but raising questions is important.

Thank you

The Secret Service acted in a way they had never acted before during an assassination attempt. In every other assassination attempt, the Secret Service surrounds and covers the target and hustles him away from danger.

But the guy who ushered the photographers to the bottom of the stairs knew the Secret Service was going to violate all its protocols and allow the photo op.

How could he possibly know that?

at the West Palm Beach golf course. The feds were on that ASAP. There is so, so much that doesn't add up, but with Trump, lies and deception are standard operating procedure.

Question everything and doubt nothing.

"Wait, my shoes!"

Some believe he didn't want anyone to see the lifts he uses in his shoes....

If his would-be assassin had been using a hunting rife with a scope, JD Vance would have found himself at the top of the Republican Party ticket in the 2024 Presidential election.

But Vance wasn't nominated until a few days after the attempted assassination in July 2024. I think the Republicans would have taken it to the convention, where there'd be a serious fight with many contenders for the nomination.

That's what I was hoping we would have done.

And on some parallel Earth, where what’s-his-name or what’s-his-name’s counterpart was mortally wounded, that must have been a very interesting Republican Party convention and general election. However, we live in the universe where God-Emperor Donald survived and we have one of the dystopian outcomes.

And he wins even bigger than Trump did, because every MAGA voter is extremely motivated to vote.

A trait our universe’s DeSantis lacks. Are you quite sure about the size of his victory? I would have thought that if he won it would have been by a far narrower margin.

Look at W in 2000 and 2004. Although to be fair, his two opponents had no charisma either.

As for the size of his victory, I think MAGA would be super motivated, and Ron is (slightly) more capable than Trump, so the Right-leaning Indies who didn't vote may have voted for him.

Plus that "hit person" as you call it would be shot himself, as the Secret Service would immediately fire back.

Anyone who ever watched a movie knows that politicians who pay for a hit wind up killing the assassin. Dead men tell no tales.

I know this is a fantastical idea that these guys would lie, but maybe the kid was promised that he would get disappeared and shipped off somewhere tropical with a bag full of cash.

They promise the assassin a ton of things, then they kill him. Unless the kid was just an idiot would believed anything.

They believe Orange Jesus is their savior.

they would get if they were going to stage it.

He was a young MAGA incel loser type from a gun nut family .

He didn't have any friends or other social connections that would want to know more and look into it. The parents were MAGA and worship Trump.

staging the event and that it would help his idol and he would be protected and allowed to escape. His success in getting inside the perimeter and lying on the roof for so long must have added to his confidence that was true.

I think it's likely he believed there was no plan to kill him.

The Biden Administration had several months to investigate this and to tge best of our knowledge, no evidence of communication was found.

Trump is murdering children, fishermen and anyone he wants right now.

Either it was faked, or it was something analogous to "wind of the ball" injuries, a phenomenon known since the revolutionary war.

https://modelshipworld.com/topic/39282-wind-of-the-ball-injuries/

But, can't prove it.

cell certainly disappeared from the news pretty quickly.

Seems like that video might have caused a war.

....while photographers were ushered to the best spot for a photo with the flag flying in the background tells you all you need to know. The photo appeared on merch within days. Contrast that with the attempt on Ronald Reagan where agents immediately shielded him with their bodies and whisked him into a limo.

just as the commotion started to get into a position just behind the action for the photo background.

There is video out there of it. Granted, it could be Al I guess but I've seen the video circulating.

As the fluid spews, the boom supporting the flag on that side of he stage falls a bit. The spray of fluid coincides with the shooter's first volley. I believe the round which nicked Trump's ear traveled on to strike the hydraulic equipment.

I do not know it there are videos showing further lowering of the flags subsequent to that initial partial boom drop.

I doubt it, but the actual lack of damage to the ear is disturbing at the very least.

Remember that Lee Zeldin probably faked an attack in Buffalo when he was running for governor of New York.

If the same scenario played out but nobody was hit or killed, far more people would be skeptical.

Do you think Trump is emotionally stable enough to take to a rally stage knowing a murder was going to take place?

Others would have had to be in on this “plot” - the SS, his campaign staff, etc.

This “staged” CT is currently growing among disenchanted MAGA supporters, so folks should be aware of what kind of club they are joining by promoting this CT.

Because this administration is the most incompetent in history.

Those people have people who can (and likely will) do anything, . He didn't have an administration at the time of the 'assassination attempt' as it was prior to the 2024 election.

Absolutely, positively zero evidence it was faked.

Edit: those who believe the assassination attempt was faked are in the same camp as MTG.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100221184701

Others' mileage will vary.

about January 6.

What's your point with that?

To stage an assassination to help him get elected.
Why wouldn’t Putin tell agent Krasnov the same thing?

incompetence and maybe he was hit by a piece of glass. Why did the SS let him stand for his photo making him a perfect
target for a second shot, very strange? Was there ever a medical report about him being treated in a hospital?

His SS detail was "former president". It was upped to candidate status after the shooting. However, he would automatically receive increased protection after the convention anyway.

I don't think SS could control him anyway. Remember what he did when he had Covid???

He doesn't care about anyone but himself.

x1000

or possibly an "inconvenient" person

but the assassination was staged.

besides the gunman. One died, two recovered (were their names ever released? Did the locals or state police file any sort of report on their attempted murders? How badly were they injured?)

That's why I think the shooter really intended to kill Donnie. And being the opportunist he is, Trump played up a slight cut from flying debris into a full "I've been saved by god to run the country!" But without any hard data we can't know for sure.

The pieces are all there and known publicly if folks would just be willing to see them.

Meaning God killed the firefighter for Trump.

But then again, their god is Satan, so there is that.

Possible. Hired a professional hitman...no.

Now that he's learned about SS herding all the reporters to where they could get a good shot less than a few min; before the shooting has even him asking if it wasn't faked.

You don't build anything in Manhattan without the help of... you know who...

but if it was, I think the guy on the roof fired blanks or was posed there with an unloaded gun because there is no way they would allow some inexperienced gunman to be in that position with real bullets. The man that was shot would have had to have been murdered by someone else in Trump's secret service at the same time, basically choosing a target in the crowd and the investigation conducted by his people.

I thought that was the strangest thing but later replays did not show that. I always watched the replays and never saw that smacking again. Between that and the miracle ear heal it certainly left me wondering.

He took advantage of a situation.

He muffed the shot and killed someone. Then he was 'put down' according to plan
Trump asked at the hospital how it was playing on tv. There was no wound.

I think he would have allowed anything if he thought it would improve his chances of getting elected. It also appealed to him as a chance to grift and play the hero. Classic narcissist traits. He is a psychopath.

It was mostly done to create a justification to resume the war against Chechnya.

There's nothing that these evil creatures in pursuit of absolute power won't do.
