Hmmm maybe.
I still think he is being groomed as next in line.
MTG and Ron do themselves no favours MTG is on another planet at times.
Newsome probably blue teams next

I said to Ford that he and his team kept saying he is like Mandela with all the court case against him, but I cant work out if he now thinks he's Martin Luther King or Ronald Reagan..
Ford said he will think he's superman now.

We'll be seeing this on all the front pages for months to come.
A perfectly framed photo of a bloodied Trump raising his fist in defiance with the US flag above him, breaking free of the coverage of his Secret Service agents, with the MAGA crowd (bizarrely given the circumstances) chanting 'USA, USA'

The perfect campaign photo that will kill off 'Sleepy Joe's' chances for good.
How good are those secret service agents btw.
Lol how the feck did they miss?
I mean look back at the shot at Kennedy, was a moving target seated in a car.
And why when he’s just standing there afterwards well exposed for a 2nd , 3rd shot does nothing happen?
There’s something going on there.
I can totally understand maybe missing 1 shot, but not being prepared to take multiple shots and land one of those? Doesn’t make sense?
Only things that I can see that explain it are either the dude was a total amateur, or he wasn’t trying to kill trump, tho that doesn’t sit with how close it came to trump.
Fake news!

Reminder that thanks to Trump's Supreme Court, it would have been perfectly legal for President Biden to order Trump's assassination.

Who has done the Republican Presidential candidate a great service, albeit unintended.
No way Trump loses from here is my guess.

Adrenaline can do amazing things when one realises they're about to go down in history.

In the context of US political history, that photo will surely go down as an all-timer. Couldn't paint a better picture if they tried.
It's a ripper no doubt.
Evan Vucci is the photographer who captured it.
No surprise to learn that he is a past Pulitzer Prize winner and national Edward R. Murrow award winner. Will get more accolades for his efforts today.
As an amateur photographer in the past I've always been intrigued by these guys with their expensive and heavy Canon and Nikon outfits sitting at the front of political and concert gigs with their shutters open and clicking away hoping for 'THAT' picture. A lot easier in the digital era of course but still you need to set the focal, shutter and aperture settings just right.
And Vucci got it right today. The license rights on that photo will earn him tens of thousands.

It is their genius to capture the moment to perfection, which allows the rest of us to be like Phil Knight.

Photo Appears to Capture Path of Bullet Used in Assassination Attempt

Photo Appears to Capture Path of Bullet Used in Assassination Attempt
Michael Harrigan, a retired F.B.I. special agent, said the image captured by Doug Mills, a New York Times photographer, seems to show a bullet streaking past former President Donald J. Trump.In documenting the Pennsylvania campaign rally on Saturday afternoon that turned into an attempt on a former president’s life, Doug Mills, a veteran New York Times photographer, appeared to capture the image of a bullet streaking past former President Donald J. Trump’s head.
That is the assessment of Michael Harrigan, a retired F.B.I. special agent who spent 22 years in the bureau.
“It absolutely could be showing the displacement of air due to a projectile,” Mr. Harrigan said in an interview on Saturday night after reviewing the high-resolution images that Mr. Mills filed from the rally. “The angle seems a bit low to have passed through his ear, but not impossible if the gunman fired multiple rounds.”
Simple ballistic math showed that capturing a bullet as Mr. Mills likely did in a photo was possible, Mr. Harrigan said.
Mr. Mills was using a Sony digital camera capable of capturing images at up to 30 frames per second. He took these photos with a shutter speed of 1/8,000th of a second — extremely fast by industry standards.

The failed attempt on the life of Donald Trump gets the full treatment in this morning's Murdoch Press. No fewer than four double page spreads to go with the front page. No surprises there as Trump's no 1 fan gets in on the action.
Albo also getting in on the action saying the failed assassination attempt is, 'an attack on our freedom'. I guess Albanese has to say that as he would not want to get in the bad books of the future 'leader of the free world'. Albo probably remembers what happened when ScoMo lectured the Chinese on their responsibilities during the Covid pandemic.
To cap off a nauseating read there is a full page colour ad hailing a must not miss event. An in depth interview between Chris Kenny and Rupert Murdoch on Sky News- the subject 60 years of the Australian. A former Liberal Party staffer interviewing his boss that is sure to be a hard hitting event. As the man said, 'I won't be watching it so I will not miss it.'

Not sure what you're complaining about. It is massive news.
Of course it's going to get a lot of coverage.
One inch to the right and we'd be talking 9/11 levels of news coverage.

I smell some funny buggers going on tbh eyewitness sees a guy climbing to a vantage point with a gun & his security doesn't? a scenario where they let the shooter take a shot before reacting has crossed my mind.
They were pretty quick to satisfy themselves that there was only the one shooter.
Apparently this was taken about 2 minutes before he took the shot
Maybe it's the same people who didn't see Epstein "hang himself"
