Someone just tried to assassinate Trump

[drumpel]

"Threatening the president of the United States is a federal felony under United States Code Title 18, Section 871. It consists of knowingly and willfully mailing or otherwise making "any threat to take the life of, to kidnap, or to inflict great bodily harm upon the president of the United States".

When are all of the people openly calling for the death of a prior President going to be held accountable, and jailed? This includes all of the talking heads on "news" programs stating that Trump should be "taken out".

I'll be waiting.

Meet a kid in high school my freshman year, a couple of years prior (this would have been '91/'92) he said on a dare he emailed the white house threatening the president (George W. Bush at the time). He told me a day later SS was at his home questioning him and his family about it.

I don't know for sure if his story is true or not, but this kid wasn't the brightest bulb on the tree. He did think it would be funny to take a dozen NoDoz pills at once. He heard someone at my lunch table talking about NoDoz pills and asked if he could have some. The guy with the pills handed him the bottle and then he asked us all, "Should I take a bunch of these to see what happens?" We all told him no, that would be stupid....Stupid is as stupid does. He dumped a bunch into his hand and asked again if he should take all 12 pills in his hand and we again told him no. He decided to do it anyway. An hour later he was in the nurse's office with chest pains (his words, when he told us about his experience the next day), labored breathing and irregular heartbeat.

With that story aside about the moron from school, it would be nice to have all the fucking worthless pieces of shit that think it's okay to want to kill any sitting or past sitting president to be arrested and jailed.

You should educate Republicans that trying to assassinate the presumptive nominee of their party or attempting coups is a bad thing.

“There’s some question about whether or not it’s a bullet or shrapnel that hit his ear,” Wray said in response to a question about whether all the bullets fired by the shooter had been accounted for.

“It’s conceivable, although as I sit here right now, I don’t know whether that bullet, in addition to causing the grazing, could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe we’ve accounted for all of the shots in the cartridges.”

Trump will be furious about this. His campaign has already angrily lashed out at some attendees who suggested he was hit by debris. How long before he starts attacking FBI director Wray? Personally, I don't know why it matters.

Here it comes..

In response to Wray’s remarks, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told multiple media outlets that “Anyone who believes this conspiracy bull**** is either mentally deficient or willfully peddling falsehoods for political reasons.”

Wut?

Is this supposed to make sense?

Somebody doesn’t know anything about terminal ballistics…

Isn't this the guy who didn't see any cognitive issues in Biden over the past 4 years?

He's an example of what's wrong with the ABC departments in our government.. they have become far too political.

LOL! Trump has become predictable.

FBI Director Christopher Wray told Congress yesterday that he wasn’t sure if I was hit by shrapnel, glass, or a bullet (the FBI never even checked!), but he was sure that Crooked Joe Biden was physically and cognitively “uneventful” - Wrong! That’s why he knows nothing about the terrorists and other criminals pouring into our Country at record levels. His only focus is destroying J6 Patriots, Raiding Mar-a-Lago, and saving Radical Left Lunatics, like the ones now in D.C. burning American flags and spray painting over our great National Monuments - with zero retribution. No, it was, unfortunately, a bullet that hit my ear, and hit it hard. There was no glass, there was no shrapnel. The hospital called it a “bullet wound to the ear,” and that is what it was. No wonder the once storied FBI has lost the confidence of America!

If there were 8 cartridges and all 8 bullets have been accounted for and none of the 8 hit Trump, then there would need to be a 9th bullet for Trump to be correct. This will turn into another Sharpiegate.

Bonus.. Who appointed Wray anyway? And what happened to Wray's predecessor?

In his speech, Trump said, "I heard a loud whizzing sound and felt something hit me, really hard, on my right ear." Is that more descriptive of a bullet or shrapnel? You wouldn't feel a bullet hit an ear "really hard." The object had to be traveling slower than a bullet to create that sensation.

We have a few people in this forum who know a lot about such matters. Speak up! Share your knowledge and opinion.

You may have a point if only one shot was fired.

None of this changes that there was an attempted assassination on President Trump and he was hit in the head by a projectile that could have killed him.
