    There was a shooting at a Trump rally. Details are still being released. The meme is referencing the successful assassination of Shinzo Abe a couple years ago.

      Fun fact: this will be the 34th mass shooting in the month of July in the US. This qualifies as a mass shooting because there were 4 casualties.

        Tbf, when one says “shooting” it conjures up images of an active shooter scenario. What happened was more aptly described as an assassination attempt. Target (trump) wounded (barely), one (or possibly two) bystanders dead, shooter dead.

          And the part that is the most damning detail, it wasn’t who the Republicans want it to be. The gunman was a registered Republican in Pennsylvania. Apparently the motivation was because Donald Trump disavowed Project2025.

            Wait, is this confirmed?
