I suggest you aprise yourself of the facts before promoting ultra left wing slurs.
Poor Donald being smeared by the truth. He is a convicted felon on 34 counts. The Manhattan NYS Supreme Court ruled against his appeal, but the Court of Appeals has yet to decide; until it does, the convictions stand. He is still trying to get the case moved to federal court in which case, he could pardon himself or simply have his DOJ lose or dismiss the case.

His speed is what leads some to think he is or was former special forces military.
lol wut? Is sprinting a hallmark of DEVGRU? I haven’t heard that come up in the Shawn Ryan clips that Facebook feeds me.

Maybe he ran track in high school.

An ultra left fact.
Donald Trump's conviction was for a Class E Felony. The lowest Felony offense in New York.

He also received an unconditional discharge at sentencing.

His home territory of Manhattan has certainly become a hunting ground against him , and by the enemies that occupy it. Hillary Clinton and George Soros as just two examples.

Meanwhile, while opponents of the Conservative party will happily invoke the charge of Felon against Trup,it does not a thing to vacate his presence and authority in office.
Where unindicted offenders did dwell.
Democrat Barack Obama committed Treason,as did his co- conspirator Hillary R. Clinton ,when giving America's enemy,Iran,the necessary materials and cash so to manufacture nuclear weapons.

VP Joseph Biden in 2018 while attending the Council on Foreign Relations event, boasted that he'd told Ukrainian officials in 2016 that he was flying out in six hours. If Viktor Shokin, the prosecutor in the Burisma Holdings case against Hunter Biden, was not fired, Ukraine was not getting the more than one billion dollars promised them in U.S loan guarantees.

Interestingly,though not really all that surprising in the atmosphere of cronyism in D.C , an investigation in 2020 by Senate Republicans found that Joe was not guilty there of any wrong doing.
They accepted Bidens defense. That , while Biden did admit to withholding money to force the removal of Viktor Shokin, that act was typical of U.S. policy . Because it was done in an effort to fight corruption.

Given Hunter's alleged wrong doing while with Burisma Holdings, I think Bidens defense of his actions would seem,to the reasonable person, to be contrary to that argument.

Why would it sound reasonable to the GOP Senate or anyone, that a threat to withhold a billion dollars in loan guarantees was America's SOP in fighting corruption?

When,in this instance the impetus behind the threat is the removal of a prosecutor pursuing a corruption case against Burisma Holdings and,by extension,Hunter Biden?

Yes,President Trump is a convicted Felon. However,this doesn't mean other unindicted Felons have not corrupted policy in our White House.

God Bless America. And President Trump. And keep us all in God's Light. And free of our enemies,both foreign and domestic. Amen. :praying:

That's a lot of words you wrote for admitting that calling Trump a felon is not an "ultra left wing slur".

So far, reports have it as the only fatality,or injury,was the gunman. He was shot dead.

I hope there's an investigation. Because, Trump had protested attending these dinners in the years prior. Tonight he made an exception.

And now this.
Very curious is,how did an assassin gain entry? If Secret Service was at their best?

:praying:
The gunman isn't dead. They captured him. He reserved his room at the hotel months ago, so he was registered as a guest of the hotel. At least that is what I heard reported on two networks. As this thing plays out, who can say what else will come to light.

I was posting at the time what media was reporting as events were unfolding. The media is intent on getting a story out,first.
Even if the details are skewed,as long as they report first,that's what matters.

If you watch the video where the gunman runs past the checkpoint,you'll see SS draw their weapons and aim. I can see why it would look like they'd shot. But as fast as he was,they had to watch the background so to not hit innocent people.

I feel for the gunmans family and friends. I can't imagine the phknecalls they received and exchanged after this.

I heard the shooter had written...

A MANIFESTO!

Is that true?
That's what I've seen, and that, minutes before the shooting, he sent it to his family, who then reported it to police.

I see no reason to believe any other reason he was willing to die or spend his life in prison. The most surprising thing was the cache of weapons he could smuggle into the hotel room. Not to make too light of the seriousness of this event, he was a mighty fast sprinter who may have qualified for the 100-meter dash in the Olympics.
Perhaps but that would be true whether they have a big expensive ballroom or a bunch of tents on the South Lawn. I don’t see how this justifies the need for the ballroom and I think that facet actually fuels the conspiracy theories surrounding this incident.
What is your objection to having a big, expensive ballroom located on the property of the White House?

Which facet below is it that "actually fuels the conspiracy theories surrounding this incident"? Or is there another facet not listed?

Design and Purpose: The 90,000-square-foot, multi-story structure is designed to hold approximately 650 people. It is framed as a functional expansion of the White House, allowing large events without the need for erecting temporary, costly tents on the South Lawn.

Controversy and Preservation: The project has faced significant backlash from organizations such as the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which argues that it destroys historic architectural and landscape features. A U.S. District Court temporarily halted construction in early 2026.

Security Features: The structure reportedly features extensive underground infrastructure and is sometimes described by supporters as a "shed" for hidden military components.

Legal and Ethical Issues: The project has faced intense scrutiny regarding its permitting process, funding, and the "no significant impact" finding from the National Park Service

I believe it's possible to edit the topic title--or is that only for a certain period of time? If it's possible to Edit it, you could just change the title from "Gunman dead" to "Gunman captured". If it isn't possible for you to do so, you could hit the "Report" button on your opening post to ask a moderator change the title for you.
