6. That's what the media always does of late, putting the regime's explanation of all events above the fold

Also, from the regime's side of things, this is just utterly laughable: "professionally pulled a high caliber gun from a bag, and opened fire in the exact direction of the White House". How exactly does one "professionally" pull a revolver from a bag? And just how "high caliber" was this revolver, and why does that matter, particularly? It's still a hand gun, with the inherent limitations thereof in terms of putting someone in danger from 1000 feet away, who's inside a fortified structure.

Yeah, I mean obvs it's pure luck that the the 21 yo dude apparently armed with one revolver and delusions of being God himself didn't succeed in getting less than about 1000 feet away and through multiple security perimeters, plus the WH structure itself, given there's no hulking ballroom present on the WH grounds! Normally you think there's no way any POTUS is truly safe without a ballroom lurking nearby, to protect him with its talisman-like powers, right?

No doubt it was Gawd himself that saved POTUS' life in this case, but you can't just rely on that every time, Gawd is a very busy man. You also need a ballroom on duty!
