The federal prosecutor now in charge of investigating the assassination of Donald Trump yesterday is a Haitian immigrant. Karma.

New Member here to PF, long time member of AK. I've been quietly reading these forums well over a year but this prompts me to post.

I find it incredulous that Trump is blaming this on Democrat rhetoric:

But, hey, keep it up and you'll lose big time in November:

My guess is he will continue to spiral out of control as he perceives Kamala leading. Which will further lead the undecided to sway away from him. But he clearly is the Eveready battery - 9 lives and then some, so you never know.

Last "attempt" was with an SKS with an obliterated SN, like you can trace an obsolesced firearm that was massively surplused cheap.
Still, 9 years late, and ineffective.

It wasn't a bad plan. Just needed better concealment discipline. Like, you don't stick the gun barrel out of your position, especially not when you don't have a target yet.

All I know is that if Done were safely locked away in prison none of this would be happening.

The supposed "assassin" takes his GoPro to film the assassination? The supposed "assassin" hangs said GoPro and a backpack on a fence where it can be seen? The supposed "assassin" sticks the barrel of his weapon through the fence where it can be spotted, which it was by the SS? How did the guy know Done would be out there that day? IMO this smells fishy. I hope the guy doesn't "accidentally" hang himself in his cell.

Certain Repubs are blaming the rhetoric from the Dems for the "attempts" on Donny. So, there are Repubs so unhinged that they're motivated by the Dems to go out and take shots at the Mango Menace?
Someone please, make that make sense.

Anyway, thoughts & prayers.
So it was the SS that was shooting (and missed). Then the would-be assassin leaves all sorts of evidence behind when he flees the scene?

Done ought to thank Barack Obama. Under a new law signed by President Obama, all former U.S. presidents and first ladies will receive lifetime Secret Service protection.

Btw, I found out last week that ex-presidents are not allowed to drive. Something to do with taken as hostage and releasing classified info in captivity. Of course, with Trump he probably has already sold as much classified info he could manage to get his hands on and the judge threw the case of out for lack of standing by law enforcement as in JD of the USA.

So in effect, an arresting officer was in the wrong at the wrong time and therefore he should not have made the arrest? Good if this will work for ordinary citizens.
