Jodie Foster is still not impressed.
if you're going to do a bad job with a relative vulnerability, just don't instead. let somebody with an actual plan take the opportunity next time instead of making them tighten security.
Second time though false flag or they may have created an opportunity. I wonder how much it cost to send someone go work in the area and befriend him to influence him.
I'm so worried that Tump might be alright.
The only, well at least biggest, think keeping me going day to day is seeing that glorious headline. Then I got to plan a tour of public restroom usage.
His grave is gonna need a floor drain cause I'm peeing there.
Now when I say pee, what I mean is I expel the waste from my body onto his rotting carcass. There's a lot of thought goes into it. It's very personal.
You... I like you.
You could make a killing setting up a stand nearby to sell asparagus to visitors to the Trump National Memorial Catacombs/Gender Neutral Restroom Complex
Dunno if you know how truly brilliant this is, because you can harvest asparagus twice a day it grows so fast. Maybe I'll just plant some near them as a public service.
Unfortunately, it can take around three to five years to really establish a harvestable crop, though. At least it could work as a long-term plan.
Good thing the yards they are entombed in don't usually have constant security.
I am here once again, asking for people to aim better.
The entire White House Press was there so we'll never know.
I haven't seen confirmation that the suspect was armed or that he shot anyone. Trump posted a video of the suspect and it appears that um... it appears that security opened fire when.... when the suspect Naruto-ran through a checkpoint.
The authorities said the man, who did not make it into the large ballroom where Mr. Trump, top administration officials and hundreds of journalists had gathered for dinner, was carrying a shotgun, handgun and knives. The head of Washington’s police force said that investigators believed he fired at least once, and that officials were reviewing ballistics evidence and shell casings.
The NYTimes article in the OP says that they found 2 guns and a knife on the suspect.
Also the photos that Trump posted show that the suspect was stripped completely naked with his lower half being covered by a aluminum thermal blanket. This would indicate that the suspect was strip-searched.
the evening will be much different than planned, and we'll just, plain, have to do it again.
Shooter probably saying the same thing right now.
These hitscan mfers suck at aiming they need to go Junkrat or Pharah.
They are just going to continue on like nothing happened? Oh yeah this shit stinks!
Watch this clip.
Lol of course it was pre-planned. It's all an act.
California is not sending their best.
I blame Reagan for imposing such strict gun laws on california, not enough practice smh
I mean it was a shotgun. Just aim in general direction once in range.
Damn. What could have been.
Allen donated $25 to the political action committee ActBlue in October 2024, a month before Donald Trump’s defeat of Kamala Harris, reports The Los Angeles Times.
If $25 donated to Kamala Harris doesn’t work, there’s only one logical next step
Trump posted the security camera video.

NYTimes confirmed that the name of the suspected shooter is Cole Tomas Allen, aged 31

All the bots wishing him well and saying the ballroom needs to be built lmao
There was some information mixup. CNN was saying that the event is going to continue. Trump just posted now that the dinner will be rescheduled within 30 days. Added a second Trump tweet to the post.
You'd think Trump at his age and bodily condition would get heart attack from almost being killed.
Bold of you to assume he can process information at real time
Bold of you to assume he has a heart
Did the Shooter got a chud/lib before getting got?
