He was going to be elected again regardless. What a fucking mess.

And just when Biden was sort of finding his feet again and getting support even from people like Bernie, here's the photo op of martyrdom.
Fuck's sake, this timeline...

Surely if it was a gunshot that missed him, someone behind would have been got properly?

Hopefully he's more seriously injured than it looks.

What we all should be doing now is wildly speculating based on what showed up on our Twitter feed refresh.

My eldest is this weekend filling out a risk assessment form to cover his 3rd year exchange placement at Uni.... he's going to Washington DC.
Will check if he needs some more paper.
Joking aside, if is a great opportunity for a modern history student and he is looking forward to it. My wife... not so much.

Now that Trump has been grazed/shot in the ear... It's only going one way. Buckle up.

That is a pretty bitching picture though and it'll win him the election (I mean, he likely was anyway) once it's posted everywhere. Shame he's the baddie.

It is kind of perfect in that it's scary and there's lots of blood, but it didn't do irreparable harm. Not suggesting it was staged, 2 people are dead after all, but Trump knows how to make the most of a crisis. He's also very and I can't emphasise enough, very lucky it wasn't worse.
Now watch the cunt come out with some statement about how it could have been because of Biden

As bad as I think Trump is, America is so amped up right now that his assassination would probably lead to actual civil war. So I think America is probably lucky it wasn't worse.

Thinking about a potential scenario where a president gets killed during the election run, who would take his place? Could the party just propose anyone?

Hopefully it was the practice run and they get it done correctly on the night.

The secret service diving on him had the chance to mess up his hair and expose that hideous comb-over construction to the world; they failed.

This election is absolutely wild. What kind of country even is America anymore It's kinda traditional in the US though. I think they've had about 45 presidents, and 4 have been assassinated, and a further 6 have had assassination attempts. That's like 22%!

Something's not right here; how did they miss and why wasn't there a second shooter

Since I am, for some reason, awake...
1) Apparently the shooter was a 20 year old registered Republican (he would've been 12 when Trump was elected FFS)
2) Democrats, including Pelosi (whose husband was on the receiving end of an assault a couple years ago, to Republican cheering and sneering because of course), Obama and Biden, have already expressed their well wishes to Trump, condolences to the other victims' families, and condemned the attack
3) Republicans, including at least one congressman, are already saying the attack was Biden's fault and/or ordered by him, with of course zero evidence of such (everyone act surprised)

America must hold the record on presidential assassinations (and attempts) by some margin.
Mexican politicians get capped fairly regularly but El Presidente's seem fairly well protected. Spain had a few. Maybe somewhere like Haiti.

Start praying for whatever group the shooter ends up belonging to, by the way. Were they black, female, whatever, they're getting witch hunted beyond belief as soon as it's public Suggestions are they were a Republican voter so dear only knows. Think the more important classification would be "mentally disturbed", which you would be for trying to take a life. Except, America just loves making it easy for them to buy semi automatic rifles
