America is a nation built on political violence by the government for the rich. Slavery, genocide, poverty, Jim Crow, wars of aggression, legislative military and law enforcement attacks on labor unions, forcing women to bear unwanted pregnancies, the military industrial complex, the prison system, laws protecting corporations from accountability for climate change consumer injuries and deaths, these are all political violence perpetrated on Americans and other nations by our government since the beginning. For anyone in government to declaim the use of political violence is the typical fascist propaganda move of attacking their opponents for doing exactly what they do. Completely expected of MAGA. The Democrats jumping on the bandwagon are once again exposing their true colors.

Interesting fact that is not emphasized enough. No American president has been shot or even shot at when the were physically present in the White House. A perfect 225 year long safety record. Without a ballroom.

I think Trump will destroy the American empire by trying to save it. I believe the viral post about the fundamentalist christian chinese man from beijing is correct. God has appointed Trump to end the American empire in the most ironic way possible.

Unfortunately, we are living in alternate reality times. Independent media keeps me sane; corporate media makes me feel insane. Demanding a full investigation is a pipe dream. The truth is not something the current administration wants to hear. Every thing is beautiful. Raindrops. Lollipops and roses. According to them, based on this recent shooting, surely we can see the privilege few need this $400 billion ballroom which none of American citizens will ever enter. It's farcical. Insanity. Glad to have Qasim Rashid keeping it real. You are appreciated, and I am thankful you are safe.

it was a ploy to have the lawsuit dropped so he could build his ballroom... the DOJ came "clean"

Tomfoolery. Nothing is 100% protection proof. Thanks for sharing the article👍

We’ve read Cole’s ‘manifesto’. He was not inside the ballroom where the President, VP, FBI Dir, Sec of Def and DHS were. If Trump wants to claim he was his target, then he must also own the fact that Cole wrote: “ I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” No escaping Epstein.

Don't repeat false flag propaganda.

OMG. Call me naive but I just learned about those betting sites--Kalshi and others--where people can earn millions. "Earn"--what am I saying? There's no earn there. It's so corrupt--just like this administration. I hope someday this all gets exposed. Maybe I shouldn't say "exposed" anymore, either.

But being a bit paranoid as well, I'm thinking they're smiling about making the right bet, and watching the millions pour in.

I was actually shocked that Trump got shot at...again

and the videos of the wine being taken after the action took place - like these are people who grab wine - when apparent shit goes down?

Glad you were near the scene, Qasim. Every thing you say is true, and it's chilling to see that more of our media are being bought repackaged into a Trump propaganda organ. Let's hope there can be a decent investigation into this incident.

Thank you for your detailed report. I too find it odd that Team Orange was all smiles in the photo you posted; were I seated at the high table during a shots-fired scenario, I dare say I would still be hiding under something today with soiled pants on. ☮️
