Almost two weeks ago, the US Department of Justice announced that it had foiled a plot by Proper and a number of co-conspirators to assassinate Donald Trump and other elected officials at the Ultimate Fighting Championship event recently held at the White House. As of Friday, eight people from around the country are in custody. All appear to be men in their 20s or early 30s.

Such a shame.
That it didn’t succeed.
I know. It sounded like they had their shit together. Leave it to Mom to fuck it up for everyone
If only these right wing assholes would consult with us, we could offer them good advice
At least they are fighting each other
It’s Anti Antifa, the most dangerous of the Antifas! /s
Honestly if we just started calling them “profa” they would probably take up that mantle without understanding it.
Profa deez nuts
They put the “profa” in “prophylactic”.
Fa fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa.
I been singing them sad sad sooooongs, sad songs is all I know
Imagine sleeping through your own assassination
Don't you think he looks tired?
low energy
Small pp energy, even
Amazing what just six words could accomplish.
…?
Dr. Who reference
Similar phrase used in “Stand Still Stay Silent” webcomic to great effect.
“Aren’t you tired?”
So tired its weird. Weird guy
It’s okay, he built a hospital below the ballroom (true).
He should rest tbh.
Unsurprisingly, right-wing media is lying, claiming that these were lefties:
Also, Donald Trump does protect child predators connected to sex offender and former best buddy of Trump, Jeffrey Epstein.
Lefty rhetoric, like the truth. SMH. If they still believe it then they never will.
I thought it was interesting at the time how it was a conspiracy of like five dudes, but the headline across several news sites was like, “two dudes from California lead conspiracy to assassinate the president.”
“Democrat”-ic camera taking photos of the two together?
“Democrat”-ic birthday card Trump wrote and signed for Epstein?
“Democrat”-ic condoms depicting Trump saying I’M HUUUUGE?
“Democrat”-ic Mike Johnson saying just yesterday he is running a protection program for keeping Trump connected Republicans with potential dirty laundry away from investigation or prosecution?
“tHe LeFt Is ThE pArTy Of ViOlEnCe!”
It’s not a conspiracy theory if it’s a quantifiable fact with substantial evidence to back it up
I don’t know who this proper is, but I think his valid display of political opinion should be heard preferably in a cage match with Trump. Only a week pussy would lose and weak pussies shouldn’t be in charge of America… Right?
When I heard about the event this was my first thought. What a great opportunity for some real right wing nationalists, WHO HATE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BEGIN WITH, would realize that Trump is just a dreidel.
The left is really falling behind the assassination plot counts. Kind of embarrassing tbh.
Hey now, what would Luigi think about that?
Idk, whats Luigi’s political identity?
He seems pretty “self-correcting free market” kind of dude if he went after a CEO and not a Republican Legislator.
Keep in mind he’s the rich heir to a fortune, with an ivy league education and used to have a six figure tech company desk job.
I was joking, but since you asked: why would a left wing attacker have to go after a ring wing politician? Anti-CEO sentiment is usually a pretty solid left wing view, especially when they’re squeezing people out of their savings by denying healthcare claims.
And he can be an heir, can have money but still be left wing. Those two are not mutually exclusive you know
Brian was immediately replaced, and the interim CEO who replaced him was later replaced by the shareholders in favor of a more profit-oriented CEO.
Yes, and? We were talking about political affiliation of the killer.
Nothing notably anti-CEO took place, the CEO is a position, a title, not a man.
Im making as many hamburgers as I can over here okay?
I mean they’re on the right track. Epstein was not disconnected from Israel, and a type of Israeli statist extremism… And he was sacrificing people/children to elites, people and children were definitely killed. It wasn’t a vacation camp, or even some sort of ‘clean’ sex trafficking ring with rules against murder, or against letting in elites practice snuff/death/rage.
Trump himself is that kind of rapist, official witness statement say he beat girls/children and degrades them when they try to refuse him.
So this group really isn’t far off the mark, despite the articles spin.
Always the family are snitching
Trump whipped these freaks into a frenzy and now they want to kill him. Nobody could have predicted this.
that is why GOP events ban firearms, they afraid for the same monsters they created.
Its a shame they didn’t succeed.
They’d rather have a martyr at this point, as he drags their progress down in the dirt.
Oh, yet another conveniently foiled assassination attempt for the guy claiming he really needs his secure ballroom. Well I say, all these foiled assassination attempts seem to suggest security is just fine.
Oh yeah that’s totally believable. Right.
Please, that ass-faced moron wasn’t targeted. This is more fake crap to keep the MAGAt morons worked up and frothing at the mouth that anyone would dare go after their (fat ugly stupid geriatric rapist pedo) golden god.
yeah I feel this way. Its like what actually took place at the event. Are they going after trash talk bs or something.
Then why would they choose hard right fuckheads for their patsies?
Easy to find, easy to manipulate, and cheap?
Touché
Because they're easy to convince, and any internal issues can be handwaved away with "they were Antifa".
That's all there is to it.
Trump (or his handlers) saw how the first assassination attempt was a yuuuuuge success in getting support going. The second one was a bit lackluster but then they kept going with the correspondents dinner and now this.
not just but it’s possible that it’s also being used to dissuade legitimate threats.
“see, we foiled these guys and we’ll get you too”
For those of us who watched Babylon 5, this seems like G’kar trying to assassinate Emperor Turhan. (Except this idiot is incapable of repenting.)
Department of Justice in name only.
It’s the Department of Punishment in actuality.
Department of Just Us
the 5th staged assassination attempt.
Why stop them? That seems a bit unfair to the rest of the world! Selfish bastards.
Americans are such losers
Guns everywhere yet not one of you meek mother fuckers gets the job done on time
You know it’s time to step out of the ring when your own side wants you out. He can’t read the room at all, but why would I expected a narcissistic narcoleptic dementia patient to do that?
And yet they will blame the left and label the left as a terror organisation.
