Shots Fired at White House Correspondants Dinner

[SomeStupidName]

Maybe we need a President who isn’t so hateful that people want to kill him all the time.

You can't just kill someone because you don't like them, that's crazy.

[IdeomotorPrisoner]

You're low IQ if you think you can take out the Trump administration with some firearms and knives.

Prove me wrong.

Lady Glockenspiel never fires at anything living!

And if that didn't have such a "go fuck yourself" dare me to mod you quality to it, which makes me laugh, turning a cheek wouldn't be so easy.. 

So while id love to do an equal comment back at you, that's a bad example, despite getting to use the word consangunity somewhere. 

And congratulations, you made me not remove what I just said I would remove and then violate my own standard.

But im glad you posted THAT comment, because....

DON'T DO THAT COMMENT TOWARDS OTHERS PLEASE!  

That's the perfect example of what NOT to say to others and what kind of tone to avoid!

Does is play to anything but people getting defensive and triggered to emotional responses?  How much of this is people trying to say they don't support political violence and having to focus on defending that not all left people are this asshole from Torrance? 
 
Apart from that, you can think and say whatever the hell you want about me. As salacious as you please. Others might remove it, but i cant get myself to use the mod panel to remove things directed at me...

Good thing he wasn’t.


I mean in such lackluster and pored sentries as this?

Hallelujah it’s a miracle the security did their jobs.

A bunch of grown ass adults can't seem to put a link between a lifelong conman doing conman shit. An administration that has openly gotten rich on crypto schemes and various wallets making absurdly timed bets minutes before the admin makes any moves. The Trump family has made billions since he came back into office. He was immediately on tv whining about his ballroom and every associated MAGA influencer account on social media tweeted basically in verbatim and in unison parroting the same point before he even came on screen. [snipped] He fucking hates you and is using any remaining influence he has to get what he wants. He has only ever cared about himself and those around him only use him to advance their own careers. The Hague is going to be too good for them once they are forced out of office.

I'd say that's one damn accuate assessment.

About the Ballroom.  I am not against the Ballroom.  It's probably a good idea.  I'm against the narcissist that ignores proper procedures and thinks he can do anything he damn well pleases.  Would you start ripping up your own private home without plans or permits?  Not likely.

Many people have negative thoughts about Trump -- and Trump keeps getting more outrages by the day.

Accompany those thoughts with mental illness you have a timebomb.  How many?

Surely it couldn’t be the unhinged and brainwashed assholes that would love to see him dead, no?   

It’s pretty sad reading this thread and hearing all the shear hatred some [snipped] have for Trump.  What a miserable, sad and pathetic existence [snipped] to wake up and express your hatred for one person 24/7.  We’ve been listening to this BS for over a decade, get a life FFS   Ughhhh

I think he should be declared mentally unfit and removed from office, but I don't condone violence or any attempt on his life.

The Secret Service really has shit the bed a lot the last couple of decades though. They used to be tighter than Castros detail.

Trump bombed Iran, thank God. Haters gonna hate, no matter the topic of the thread, take it political, no matter the topic of the thread....we could use a serious off-topic culling of the vitriol spewing from the bots.

[cherokeetroy]

 vitriol spewing from the bots.

Like posting a song list for dancing on a political opponent's grave?

[wrayth]

I don't get this part, correct me if I'm wrong on any of this.

I heard some conflicting things.

1. shooter was apprehended (photo shows shooter on the floor in cuffs)
2. Shooter was shot and killed.

if 2 is correct, then they shot him after he was cuffed and on the floor.

which is it?

In April 2026, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), a prominent civil rights non-profit, on federal fraud and money laundering charges, alleging it secretly paid over $3 million to members of the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) and other hate groups. Allegations and Indictment Details

• Charges: The 11-count indictment includes wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering.
  
• Alleged Payments: The SPLC is accused of funneling money to KKK leaders and other extremists between 2014 and 2023.
  
• Method: Prosecutors allege the SPLC used shell accounts, fictitious entities, and prepaid cards to hide the payments from financial institutions and donors.
  
• Targeted Groups: Payments were reportedly made to individuals in the KKK, United Klans of America, National Socialist Party of America, Aryan Nations, and Unite the Right leaders.
  
• DOJ Stance: Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche alleged that instead of dismantling hate groups, the SPLC was "manufacturing the extremism it purports to oppose by paying sources to stoke racial hatred". 
  

SPLC Response

• Defense: The SPLC stated they would "vigorously defend" themselves and their staff.
  
• Informant Program: The organization stated the payments were for confidential informants (part of a program started in the 1980s) used to gather intelligence on violent extremist groups.
  
• Justification: Interim CEO Bryan Fair claimed the program was necessary for safety, shared information with law enforcement, and "saved lives". 
  

Context and Reactions

• The indictment arises amidst long-standing tensions between the SPLC and the Trump administration, with the FBI having severed its relationship with the group in 2025.
  
• Critics of the SPLC have argued that the organization "fueled" the extremism it claimed to fight.
  
• Supporters and some legal analysts described the charges as a "uniquely... inventive theory of fraud," arguing that using informants for intelligence is standard practice. 
  

The case is currently proceeding in Alabama federal court.           
  

Looks like they have been exposed too much. They are desperate and want to get rid of Trump. Falsely thinking that killing Trump would change they're outcome.
