So, he's armed to the teeth with a shotgun, a handgun and knives...

He's fixing on passing through metal-detection security gates...

He sees a swarm of armed Secret Service agents managing the security gates...

He thinks he can outrun them and the bullets fired at him...

He's finally downed by agents without taking a bullet himself...

Sounds like a plan... NOT!

What was Phase 2 if he'd made it past initial security... with a hoard of Secret Service agents, FBI, and local police coming at him from all sides?

Did this BA in mechanical engineering and MA in computer science hatch his plan after watching episodes of the Keystone Kops?

I didn't bother watching it.

I did, however, see an interview with KKKaroline Leavitt before the event and she said "There will be some shots fired tonight".

Staged for the Epsteinth time...

Time to call for a investigation, round up the old "Russia Russia collusion" gang and get a investigation going. $100mil should get to the bottom of this big mystery. We need to make some more lawyers rich with these important investigations.

But you have to hand it to the dems, they spent $100mil to prove that Trump did not collude with Russia, egg on their face but very considerate of them to spend that type of money just ot prove Trump innocent. Why not do it again, isn't that what tax payers money is for.

But as an Australian, not your tax money...

However, the tariffs Australians are forced to pay upfront to the US before shipping goods to the US can cost Australian vendors... where do you stand on that? Or do you think it's a small price to pay for the 'honour' of blowing smoke up Trump's arse?

Reply #26 - Apr 26^th, 2026 at 5:27pm It’s not a coincidence that the most corrupt and least popular President and the one spewing the most violent rhetoric has been around more shootings than any other President in history. Be interesting to see if the shooter is Republican.

My stance is simple, if you don't want it don't buy it. People complain about this and that yet spend $7 on a coffee or $10 on a packet of tim tams. Life is not free and you have a choice.

He means don't sell it.

You're always free to buy a Trump watch, phone or whatever. We Aussies don't have any tariffs at all.

But that's just us.
