Let’s not fall victim to Chuck Todd Syndrome: “Shots fired at DJT? That’s got to be bad news for Democrats.” The MAGAciles are not going to be more fired up because they could not possibly be more fired up. I don’t see this as moving the political needle. ---

I think the way people here, where all sorts of conspiracy theories have been roundly and soundly mocked, grasp at straws shows how bad this is. Trump has been playing the martyr card for ages, now actually having a wound to show for it? Getting to raise his fist in defiance after the failed attempt of them—and who ‘they’ really are is sure to change based on need—on his life? Having actual violence to point to when he further riles up his base against accepting any future setbacks? I can’t imagine any worse place to be in right now. Unfortunately, it seems it takes more than this to stop a bull shitter. ---

To me it sounded more like clicking than shots. Not sure what that means, if anything. It’s really too bad this happened. This timeline is crap. ---

Yeah, I heard “shooter’s down” and Trump say “let me get my shoes” Why do shoes always come off? ---

Some reports that one bystander was killed and another seriously injured. Worst timeline. ---

Oh boy. someone has produced a quote from a few days ago by Biden saying Someone should put Trump in a bullseye. ---

The responses seem muted even in turnp. Gunfire usually makes everyone jump. It looked almost like donold felt it before he heard much of anything. ---

Gunshots from a distance are always off sounding. I’ve heard people describe a pinging or clicking sound when they hear it from a distance. In person. Also, your sound on your device can corrupt the sound. ---

So where was the shooter? If he was distant how could the SS know he was down? ---
