Just shaking my head.
If this really happened in the way they claim, then law enforcement had a poor screening system.
If this was staged chaos, I don't even know what to say.

After Tr*mp was taken out of the dinner and brought back to the White House, he gave his own press conference. And of course he is trying to use this situation to justify building his ballroom bunker.

Quote from Tr*mp:
And we looked at all of the conditions that took place tonight, and I will say, you know, it's not a particularly secure building. And I didn't want to say this, but this is why we have to have all of the attributes of what we're planning at the White House. It's actually a larger room and it's much more secure. It's got, it's drone proof. It's bulletproof glass. We need the ballroom. That's why Secret Service, that's why the military are demanding it. They've wanted the ballroom for 150 years for lots of different reasons, but today's a little bit different because today we need levels of security that probably nobody's ever seen before.

Personally, I think the whole thing was staged. It's no secret that Trump's polling numbers are in the toilet. He can't just admit he f'ed up the situation in Iran, so what's he gonna do? Stage another assassination attempt. At best, it'll get the press talking about something other than Iran and our s**tty economy. At worst, it'll gin up the voter base as we head toward midterms.

And it's already working. I saw a clip of Dana Bash, who somehow seems even more brain dead than the last time I saw her, slowly stammering out questions to Jamie Raskin about the "responsibility" he has about his "heated rhetoric" like saying he's "terrible for this country."

They allow any Republican to go on their shows and say the most obscene things and it doesn't matter. Meanwhile, the media, and that piece of [!@#$%^&*] John Fetterman (who was pushed on the public by leftists, much as they pretend otherwise), already have all the narratives out suffocating us on how we must all love Trump, build his ballroom, on and on.

The Republicans have no shame and they are always rewarded for it.

I don't know whether the administration's latest ploy is working with the general public. I think it's having the same effect that everything else has these days: if you're a Trump supporter, then it's just more grist for the libs-owning mill; and if you're not...? Well, it's not gonna change anyone's minds either way, lol.

But you're right about John Fetterman. He played the left, just like Kyrsten Sinema played the left; and now, he's gotta go.

I think it's about distracting, numbing, dividing. A black man being arrested will also tap into the bigotry that helps Republicans at every turn. It may not move the numbers his way in a massive manner but every little bit helps, especially with pushing through all of his crackdowns against voting and protesting.

I wouldn't be surprised if this was staged.

I believe NOTHING from this WH.

You know, that was my first thought too....
