After Failed Assassination, Democrats Observe Customary 5-Minute Pause On Calling Trump 'Hitler'

 

WASHINGTON, D.C. — In a the wake of yet another failed assassination attempt against President Trump, leading Democrats across the nation announced they would observe the long-standing tradition of a five-minute pause in calling Trump "literally Hitler".

"This is a time for healing, reflection, and lowering the temperature.  Specifically, five minutes' time," said Representative Hakeem Jeffries.  "Ugh, this five minutes is killing me.  Has it really only been thirty seconds?  Time passes so slowly when you're not calling someone Hitler."  [...]

LOL @ Babylon Bee. That site is the dumber MAGA version of The Onion. Come back to me when you have a credible source.

The crisis actors and inside information peddlers are making a killing off this administration.  This is a false flag, like the one during the campaign. Can't seem to shake the Epstein association, so they needed something a bit drastic. I'm surprised he even waited 10 minutes after the "shots" to hold a press conference for his precious ballroom. 

What is your source that this is a false flag operation?  Some biased M-SNOW pundit?  One thing to me that blows up the entire false flag hypothesis is would a dedicated leftist radical really agree to work with this Administration?

President Trump was safely evacuated from the White House Correspondents' Dinner Saturday night following a shooting outside the ballroom of the Washington Hilton Hotel. Mr. Trump and first lady Melania Trump were whisked off the stage by Secret Service agents as the sound of gunfire sent dinner attendees ducking under tables.

My question is how in the heck did this person manage to enter with guns?!?

Do you think there is anything specific to prevent anyone from entering a hotel anywhere in the US with a gun without issue? I've been very loyal to Hilton for years. That hotel in particular has about 1000 rooms.. it is a vast place, and you can walk all over without ever encountering anyone, which is like many of their hotels. A few I've been in have penthouse apartments for people that want to live in a prime location for a price and value privacy. For people with particular perks, special access card or phone will get you all over their hotels without ever being noticed. Some you can check in/check out on the app. That has led to me observing all sorts of crazy going on. All the guy had to do was check in days or weeks before. Don't know if he did any sort of reconnaissance beforehand, but he wouldn't need to leave the hotel to encounter any checkpoints and there are ways to get out alternative exits without ever being seen. By all accounts for guests coming in to the event, they barely glanced at the tickets and the metal detector was apparently right near the basement conference room entrance. The hotel is only going to provide so much security, the rest is up to the Secret Service, and well.. not sure how great they did here. The only reason no one was hurt or killed was due to the guy's stupidity.

During hunting season I see a lot of hotel customers coming out in camo gear, I assume they keep their guns in their hotel rooms rather than leave them in their vehicles.

The Secret Service did keep this guy from actually getting into the ballroom from what I could tell.  In that type of setting, that is about as well as to be expected as what you said about security in hotels is spot.
