Yes, Again

 

     Maybe.

     Apparently, someone else was tempted to take another pot shot at Donald Trump today. He was at the 5th hole when the Secret Service saw a rifle barrel poking out of some bushes and they fired some shots. When they got there, they found an AK47, a backpack and GoPro camera. Drone footage saw the suspect get into a car and drive away and he's now in custody.

     The non-shooter is a guy named Ryan Wesley Routh and he's no blushing liberal. In fact, this is just one of the things he put up on his social media:

    

     Through the thicket of misspellings, we can deduce that this clown voted for Trump eight years ago but came to the conclusion that he was too stupid to run for president. If that's what he thinks, then welcome to the party, pal. And, as proof of this, after the Secret Service unpeeled themselves off the sodden pile of his flesh, Trump said, "I wanted to finish the hole."

     Because, to Republicans, golf is life.

     The problem with this scenario is already manifold. As Steve Marmel pointed out on Twitter,

If being within 500 yards of a gun means you’re the target of an assassination attempt then everybody in Florida is the target of an assassination attempt by nearly everybody else in Florida.

      So, all things being equal, it stands to reason if Trump and JD Vance can casually blow off bomb threats made in Springfield, Ohio, we should also be able to blow off these ersatz threats on Trump's life, right?
