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.

    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.

        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”
