      It’s admittedly a touch tin foil hatty, but I wouldn’t be completely shocked if this ends up being some elaborate hoax to distract from the Roberts SCOTUS memo leak. “Smoke screen the crazy with more crazy” was one of the Trump admin’s go-to strategies, after all.

      Worth noting the person in custody did not fire any shots. The shots were fired by the Secret Service.

    I wonder; if no one gave a shit when he was visibly shot at, what makes them think we’ll give a shit when there is only hearsay?

      The article you linked was updated, looks like he did have a gun and was spotted while aiming through the fence:

      Investigators found the suspect had left behind his “AK-style” rifle, as well as two backpacks, one of which contained ceramic tile, at the scene, Bradshaw said.

    Keep Trump safe from gun violence. Vote for Harris Walz and a democratic Congress to get common sense gun regulations in place.

      We have a little more information now and it is interesting:

      https://nypost.com/2024/09/15/us-news/alleged-would-be-trump-assassin-ryan-routh-donated-exclusively-to-democrats-since-2019/

      The article starts with:

      The Hawaii man suspected in former President Donald Trump’s assassination attempt on Sunday is a long-time Democrat, donating exclusively to the party’s candidates 19 times since 2019, records show.

      Then later on it mentions:

      Routh, 58, claimed in other social media posts that he supported Donald Trump in his first presidential campaign in 2016 — but later became disillusioned after his chosen candidate won office.

          To make it weirder, read the interview and texts from the guy’s son. He was like "I don’t think he’s ever owned a gun, he’s not violent, he’s only ever had parking tickets " Meanwhile, his father clearly owned a gun, has and is violent, and was literally charged for barricading himself in an office with a machine gun before, which somehow his son (who is in like his mid 30s) apparently didn’t know about?

          And then the son texts the reporter later basically sounding like he’s trying to justify what his dad did, because politics is like what Southpark said… wowzy.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
