A deep dive into the facts of the assassination attempt, from ArnGrimR at arngrimr.substack.com:
Where truth is stranger than fiction…
Let’s look at what really happened.
My students know that I love teaching history by map.

Trump’s rally was organized on the grounds of Butler Farm Show Inc., in Butler, Pennsylvania, about 40 to 50 minutes due north of Pittsburgh, depending on taking Route 79/279 or State Highway 8.
The general surroundings of the place look as follows:
The long fields, just above Main Street, is where the rally took place.
Here, we see all the main elements. The podium where Trump gave his speech, the cranes with the flag, the bleachers behind Trump, the rooftop where the Secret Service Sniper team was, and roof where the assassin took his shot from.
“A flighty and half-witted man is the very instrument generally preferred by cunning politicians when very hazardous work is to be done.”

This is just round one as they want Orange Man Badass gone by November.
The FEW/FIB/Derp State maggots and other Forces Of Evil will be back.
The proud have hid a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the wayside; they have set gins for me. Selah.
