H pointed out that half an inch over and held be dead, and can you imagine the fervor of his maga level supporters if he was assassinated? Like, they'll be all sorts of riled up after this, but can you imagine if he died and was suddenly a martyr to their agenda? It would be J6 on steroids.

MSNBC is reporting two spectators also hit. One dead, one injured. Also reports that the shooter is dead.
They are currently interviewing a gentleman who was standing next to the spectator who died.

The GOP convention next week is going to be absolutely off the rails. This is for sure a summer of chaos and I just hope we can make it through.

I was in target next to DCA during it and I’m 99% sure AAFB scrambled jets as soon as they found out. There was a very loud flyover.
I have no idea how this all turns out.

FWIW, Twitter was saying it was not a bullet but glass fragments that hit DT.

Why do I feel like this just won him the election? It won't move the needle either way, people who feel strongly are too entrenched. I definitely believe he will think this will win him the election though and he and his supporters are going to be (even more so) absolutely wild and insufferable.

Why do I feel like this just won him the election? In my family group text, my dad commented that after he saw the photo of Trump bloody and with the raised fist, he knew Biden was toast. He fully believes Trump is winning (and he’s super super left so not because he wants it). I hate everything. And I’m really trying not to doom spiral.

If we do (and don't bother voting because of it) they win. That's exactly why he did what he did, instead of the sensible thing of being rushed off stage immediately after being shot at. It's a show, he's a showman, and he's going to try to use this to his advantage as best he can. But it's not inevitable.

The accusations are already starting. I don’t know which one but apparently a congressman from GA tweeted that Biden set up the assassination attempt. 🙄🙄 They can’t have it both ways. Biden is either a confused old man with cognitive impairment or a criminal mastermind. He can’t be both. (Joke but kinda true, right?)

Anecdata, but everyone I know with Covid right now brought it back from a vacation that involved flying. One friend said there were multiple people on their last flight, clearly ill, but no masks for them and hardly anyone else was wearing them either (including said friend). I got strep from flying last year and now I mask in the airport and on planes. I was miserable, and the PA who saw me was like "yeah, those are basically petri dishes, definitely wear a mask." That is utterly bewildering to me at this point. We have seen people masking in high risk situations for decades but American doctors have never recommended it because, I imagine, they aasume we won't do it?

I wish they would have just tweeted “thoughts & prayers.”
Also how the fuck do you shoot 8 times and miss him?
Ugh.

Currently sitting in a very crowded airport. Our flight was delayed and I’m assuming many others as well. People are running absolutely everywhere as soon as they make it off the plane. One guy accidentally ran into another guy and the other guy went ballistic on him and started shoving him. I put the kids ahead of me and we booked it out of there before it went any farther. People are just losing it. In theory, there should be no guns, obviously, but crowds are just too much for me anymore.
