Mike Flynn and his cronies may have achieved something I said repeatedly while they were attempting to recruit a shooter was extremely unlikely—got someone to act adversely killing one, injuring others including convicted felon and rapist, Donald J Trump. We’ll see what sort of person the shooter turns out to be along with his Mike Rothschild spins this around to best help MAGA3x achieve its objectives.
The NYTimes photographer has the biggest photo of them all here—catching the bullet on film as it reached its target. Fortunately Trump survived, but at least one other person did not.
Let’s look at some of what is happening narratively.
This isn’t a surprise. The media shows extreme cowardice at times given the credible fear of being targeted by Trump and his cronies. That led to an abrupt shift in media coverage where a once massive political career ending story didn’t see multiple outlets converging and covering what was happening instead going Confefe Hamberder or other inane reality show shenanigan nonsense letting the most powerful news wither to be ignored and forgotten.
The MAGA fans see the media as an enemy because they refused occasionally to carry MAGA3x lies.
Like how Will, who on principle knew and allowed forward the piece exposing Susan Portnoy.
Back to the murderball.
Ivan has had quite the week, getting coverage for his ‘kill-list’ once he Flynn and others retake the White House along with today.
This is significant given Ivan listed all the media and other threats to fascism he intends to have prosecuted or more likely killed—the intentional effect of his stochastic terroristic operation.
We’ll see how things play out as we get more information. The biggest issue I see is that a man with a long rifle was able to get in position on a roof.
CNN was reporting without verification that a man did see and report the shooter to police yet they didn’t respond until shots were fired. That’s problematic and needs to be investigated as if verified via video will be used to support a pernicious conspiracy blaming the assassination attempt on Biden and the Federal Government. Even if that isn’t verified, they likely will push the falsehood anyway.
So what did the ops say?
Here is Brad.
I am a little surprised by this, though had the bullet been an inch closer whomever replaced Trump would be a likely shoo-in to win. Trump survived and with that, likely still loses big. That is after all the purpose of Flynn and allies ‘calling’ for this all year long before it did happen.
I checked in on Sue. Nada.
I’m not surprised as she generally sticks to the parameters of her assignment unless told otherwise.
Here was a golden one.
Strangely enough, when the news broke and things weren’t confirmed, MSN likely put out some very memorable headlines that MAGA3x is already weaponizing. I cannot confirm if they were real or not yet one clearly was accurately and respectfully stated for a breaking headline—
Here was one of the responses, an apparent second witness that warned but wasn’t heeded.
First, when I was younger I could scale a fence in seconds or climb two to three stories of a building’s ladder systems in less time than it would take to get out a phone and turn on a camera.
This is still going to sting no matter what. Really, that may be the most damaging aspect of the whole assassination attempt to come out of this. Not the assassination, the wounded, nor the deceased who none deserve any of this repeated political violence MAGA3x glories in—including Mr. American Carnage himself, Donald Trump.
Cameras will likely confirm whether this warning was true or not given that the police all have body cameras and so many others were filming with their own phones.
So where do we go?
It’s far more likely that violence will be directed towards the media making it harder to cover Trump, a man who can’t afford indoor arenas due to non-payment issues stemming from stiffing venues in the past.
The shooter has been identified as a 20 year old Pennsylvania man, a Registered Republican.
We will get back to this later.
