Three Times is Not the Charm, Apparently

 

     As usual, the facts don't jibe with the narrative.

     The alleged shooter at last night's aborted White House Corespondents Dinner has been identified as Cole Tomas Allen. Teacher. No criminal record. Not the profile the government likes to talk about. Someone who doesn't fit the profile of your typical crazed lone wolf gunman. But, of course, the lying goons in the government are portraying him as just that.

     Allen lived and worked in Los Angeles, so if he really wanted to shoot Trump and his top officials (with the bizarre exception of Kash Patel), then he'd undergone some serious expense to travel over 3000+ miles to do so. And what the government is, as always, failing to tell us is how did an alleged would-be assassin breach Secret Service security for the third time in less than two years?

     And if he was possession of a shotgun, two handguns and several knives, how did he think he was going to get past the metal detectors in the lobby?

     Then there's the manifesto that he'd allegedly written and sent to family 10 minutes before he'd allegedly shot a Secret Service agent in the chest. Has anyone verified that? And how did the government get their hands on it so quickly? 

     Of course, the far right is quickly seizing on this as another example of left wing violence despite overwhelming evidence that nearly all the political violence in this country is carried out by people just like them.

     For his part, Trump used the incident as proof that we need that ballroom, which is now held up in the courts. Oh and that he was going to really, really savage the media. He took to Truth Social mere minutes after getting whisked off the dais because he couldn't stand the idea that last night wasn't all about him. One is amazed he didn't pump his fist in the air last night and say, "Fight, fight, fight!" and is selling the meme card on the Trump Store.

     So for now, I'm just going to sit back and watch the usual lies and obfuscation.
