I wonder who the judge will be when Tomas is arraigned on Monday.
I have my doubts 10 of the 14 active judges in that district will be impartial; meaning they likely will give him every consideration they possibly can.
A schoolteacher. This is the mentality of many that we have, teaching our children.
A product of decades of rabid Democrat Communist Party control over our Education System. Brainwashing, indoctrination, hatred, violence, is what is actually on the diploma. Then the graduates turn around become teachers and the cycle continues.
This morning’s headlines will be:
PDJT recklessly endangers journalists doing their jobs
Remember that the Secret Service is still full of DEI agents. All those shots heard, and they missed him.
the acts of parasites for self preservation.
FOR ALL THE HATERS , THE PRESIDENT DID NOT FALL

Could it be contrived for psyop/distraction?
The other Trump assassination attempts also?
The evidence* implies: Plausible.
* Including security lapses that allowed “would-be assassin” to get close / in position. With claimed SS bureaucratic incompetence used as a cover.
The footage below of the Butler incident is really interesting:

In addition to the many other things that don’t add up about it
Thanks for the insights, Candace.
Why would you take anything you saw at reddit as being real?
He probably won’t lose his job. He will be seen as living the values he teaches. A role model even. Had a good idea but, like communism, didn’t implement it right.
Misunderstood young man. Made some bad decisions. Who among us hasn’t made bad life decisions?
Third attempt on President Trump and this is as good as it gets at protecting him and his cabinet members.
It is not acceptable!
This lone wolf story.
I want to know his associates and how and when the perp arrived in DC.
At least this shooter is alive unlike the Butler shooter. Might be able to get some information
Loonie on a leash. If it turns out he has a history of “counseling and medication”, it might explain being let off the leash.
Just stay away from such nonsense President Trump. like the Correspondents Dinner for Gods sake.
