I have no trust in the Regime. It is a coinflip whether it is a false flag or real, and honestly, I wouldn't mind it if Agent Blood Orange becomes a reality.

Is Trump in the running for most attempts on a president’s life yet? I feel like the number is getting up there.
I guess there have been 8 trump assassination attempts total.
So far, there have been 7 school shootings in 2026 alone.
There have been over 130 mass shootings in the US so far this year.
The fascist child rapist is just experiencing what America has become. I'd rather a cheeseburger take him out instead of violence, but he's gonna be a martyr either way. Maga chuds are gonna get really fucking weird about his death. Just you wait. He'll be their patron saint.
I want him to live long enough to completely fuck Republicans in the midterms.
Obama had 11 attempts.
This one would make for 4 supposed attempts on the pedophile felon traitor's worthless life.
Although, quite curiously this regime has already stopped manufacturing their brainless hysteria about the previous ones.
Other than of course their expected droolingly stupid lies designed to further the ever ballooning illegal construction theft of the bunker to hide mr. cadet bone spurs mcdraft-dodging little coward bitch.
Is the White House now considered a bad neighborhood?
Trump said that he made DC so safe.
"Can't have shit on the North Lawn."
New justification for the west wing bunk... err, ballroom incoming.
East wing
This guy just keeps getting shot at! I wonder if it’s a result of his constantly terrible governing, his incredible narcissism, the fact that the only thing he can output is suffering, or even that his feelings of joy themselves are fraudulent.
Maybe all four?
Don't forget he hires people solely based on whether they will swear personal allegiance to him, but he's never loyal to them. So no competent person would ever want to work for him.
Honestly, I think he's just that trashy, the whole DC neighborhood has gone downhill since he moved in...
He hates these cans! Stay away from these cans!
alt: two panel vertical image, top image is a man dressed in hunters gear holding a rifle in a firing position squinting through the scope. The bottom panel is a gas station attendant standing near a display or motor oil cans and pointing at them in an excited manner, some of which have bullet holes. This is a scene from the Steve Marton movie The Jerk when a crazed gunman is trying to kill the main character for no reason.
St. Louis?
yeah, he's gonna stay that color.
All I know is it's definitely NOT the child raping. Nope.
He’s just so amazing, that everyone happens to want to kill him! That’s what happens when everyone loves you, right?
We got the worst assassins known to man
That's because it's theater.
This, so much this. It’s fucking false flag bullshit
Counting or not counting gang violence?
Beautiful.
Famous last words
I still can't believe those were actually his last words. Sounds like something straight from fiction.
Here's hoping.
Is it too much to ask for some competence?
If we were a competent nation we wouldn't be in the mess to begin with.
As the old saying goes, if you want something done right...
Watching the coverage, apparently someone pulled a gun close to the White House and got taken down by Secret Service.
One bystander was also injured, but it's unclear if it was by the perpetrator or the Secret Service.
Probably just acorns falling
I really gotta stock a bottle of champagne, or one of these days I'll be caught unprepared
I've had a bottle of 2006 Piper Heidseck vintner's reserve champagne on standby since his first term
Gotta run to the store before they sell out
Aw hell no. There is no way that Pumpkinhead should be martyred.
Assuming this was a real threat, they are definitely not helping in any way. Ideally, he's removed from office and the Democrats win the midterms. Second best is having him serve out his term as a cucked lame duck after the midterms. If he is incapacitated due to his dementia or gets a hamburger from heaven that's a far distant third best outcome. Still not great on that last one, since you just know the right will try to rehab the image of the Pumpkinhead.
Fascists should be shot.
Your mistake is thinking the shooting needs to stop at him.
In the 80’s that would have just been a normal day.
I’m going to guess it was something stupid or cops (I’m just being specific I know that cops are stupid)
