    If Trump faces any consequences during his term, I’ll eat my fucking hat.

        I wouldn’t. The people who would actually do that are part of his cult.

          Yes, and there’s already been a conservative shooter attempt at assassinating Trump. I wouldn’t count that possibility out.

              What could possibly make you think aiming a gun at the sitting president and pulling the trigger doesn’t count as an assassination attempt? Or are you simply shrugging that off because it doesn’t fit your narrative?

                  Ha right, he was a presidential candidate at the time. My point still stands of course.

                It was a setup for him to get publicity. His “wound” was gone the next day, and there’s no way the secret service would have let him get back up and stand there for his photo op. There’s a bunch of other inconsistencies too.

                  That is conspiracy theory bullshit with no grounding in reality. Nice story, with zero supporting facts.

                    Then explain how a geriatric’s ear heals from a gunshot wound overnight.

                    Or how a man who believes exercise shortens your life was able to overpower secret service agents to put himself back into the line of fire.

                    Or how no one in security noticed a dude with a high powered rifle climbing over the fence.

                    With the ridiculous lengths the secret service goes to protect the president, there should have been no possible way the attempt could have occurred.

          You just need one crazy guy off his meds. Or maybe some group of feds is done with the bullshit and decides to create some kinda plausibly deniable situation.

        Executions don’t give justice. The best we can hope for is Club Fed.
