OT: American Politics

I'm sure Melania will get him to bow out over her crippling concern.

this legit looks like a secret service fail here tbh.

that's the closest building and it's actually pretty close. that shit shoulda been locked down.

You’d think that would be a vantage point they would leverage and have a security detail there.

don't agree on #1, but yes to #2 and #3.

Even a 22 calibre bullet should have done more damage than that perfect graze. I think he flinched from the bullet hitting the teleprompter and that glass is what cut him. No way that was a bullet graze

I only watched the video a couple of times, but it looks like his ear got it kinda bad and the blood from there went to his face.

Haha, fuck, I heard about that two hours ago when I went on social, but not this. I guess this happened after.

Ah well, Groucho Marx had to endure dying on the same day as Elvis Presley. Richard will still be #1 in our hearts.

Edit - hmm, seems like Groucho died a few days later. Pretty sure his biography said they died on the same day.

That's a good guess

Why are certain outlets reporting it as "possible assassination attempt"? Do they think he was trying to hit Roofus in the third row?

Ted Cruz should get out there with his ugly wife at the head of the vigil. VP here I come.

That's a good guess

I didn't post it earlier because it's all crazy speculation right now, but a reporter with sources at the hospital was saying that his wound was from flying glass and not a bullet.

Literally the perfect cover if you were really trying to take out someone else in the crowd....

ya know, aside from the presence of secret service sniper teams to return fire and most definitely kill you, but it's half of the perfect plan.
