    The man who died was a volunteer firefighter and a wonderful father - he literally started jumping in front of his family to shield them during it, which was when he was struck lethally.

    Corey Comperatore, rest in peace.

    Here is his daughter’s tweet to him on X.

    Been enjoying the 1000’s of memes all day but sad to see at least one innocent person in the crowd died. Not sure of the condition of the other rally attendee,

    On another note the image with the raised fist, blood dripping from his ear, secret service hugging him with the flag in the background is iconic and will long outlive him.

      One died two critically injured in the hospital last I checked.

      Haven’t seen the memes yet.

      Guy at the vape shop told me, the shooter had a steam account and played some assassinate the president game. He left comments saying

      “Great game hope it prepares me for the real thing”

      He played that game for like 136 hours total or something like that

      I’ve seen the video. He stumbled around like a confused idiot until the secret service threw him to the ground.

      Well whoever did it pretty much ensured his election victory. This will of course result in the heritage foundation implementing project 2025 and plunging the USA into a handmaid’s tale type dystopia.

      Of course Europe will go straight back to a more challenging version of the cold war with both the us and Russia against us, but in all honesty I’d rather be here than there.

      Under his eye.

        Yes, with the Heritage Foundations infamous total control of the GOP and the GOP’s long track record of successfully implementing policy it is all over for the left. That’s why they’re all moving to Canada, like they say they will be after every election.

          I understand you’re probably being sarcastic, and that’s fine. Sometimes an outsiders perspective is necessary. The irony is they’ll probably have trump whacked shortly after election anyway, so they can consolidate control under the guise of national security. I predict 2028 will be real grim, but WWIII won’t start until 2029. Either way you have to listen to the other side to know what they want. The sc ruling about presidents and official acts is paving the way for something bad.

            If you believe you can predict the future you should open a polymarket account and make some money.

              Either the future comes to pass and I have no access to my account, or it doesn’t and I loose money.

                You can’t bet on war (yet) but if you truly believe you can predict future events such as this to the year, you should be able to make money off other such predictions.

              TBF you are being a dick to trans folk for literally no reason what so ever. Did your trans boyfriend dump you or something? Is that why you feel the need to lash out? Or is it just a case of 13 year old edge lord being edgy? Mind you don’t cut yourself on all that edge.

    Will Trump actually be at the RNC, or will he need time to recover? If the Biden campaign had to pull all outbound messaging, how long until they resume ads? Can Trump get his sentencing hearing delayed for medical reasons?

        I’m curious to see how this plays out. Is he going to lay low and only make a few appearances, or is he going to have a normal speaking schedule?
