1. Hard to believe that fat Orange Bastard couldn't be seen with his ample girth and floppy over beer belly.

13. From What I've Read...

Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent was still playing on the previous hole. USSS agent had gone on up to this one as a scout, and make sure it was clear/secured. He saw the barrel sticking out of the bushes and began firing.

The would-be assassin would have needed way more than line of sight. And an AK? Come on. That’s not really too good for sniping. While it’s considered a rifle, the barrel is well within the lengths to be considered a carbine. A scope with an actual rifle, on the other hand…

14. NIce fucking use of alliteration. Orange Fuckpuddle was in no fucking danger during that fuck assed shit.

[GB_RN]

15. Exactly.

No danger at all.


Thanks! I came up with Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent a few weeks back. I was trying to think of something orange in color, but not an orange or any other fruit that I knew had been used. I’d already thought of Caligula, because, well, lots of correlations between them. Then “cantaloupe” hit me, and once I had that, “corpulent” was just icing on the cake (can you tell I have a biology background? lol).

2. Well, with that round, line of sight might not have been needed.

The bullet "drops" a lot at 500.

3. What?........................

[live love laugh]

4. So WAS it actually an assasination attempt?

[Wiz Imp]

5. That confirms this was NOT an assassination attempt

Assassination plot? Maybe. But there was not an actual attempt - no shots fired, no line of sight meaning Trump was never in any danger. The FBI is being completely irresponsible by characterizing it as an assassination attempt.

6. Lying in wait for trump to get closer. Glad they got him.

[msongs]

7. in other words there was no attempt. fake news. nt

[ecstatic]

8. so this story needs to be 1000% over with before tomorrow

The FBI needs to figure out everyone this clown was in communication with in the days leading up to last Sunday.

[Think. Again.]

9. Fixed it...

"Secret Service confirms Ryan Routh did not fire any shots and didn't have a line of sight on Trump when he was caught fired at.

[Ocelot II]

10. It was a concept of a plan, though.

[LiberalFighter]

11. Would Trump had been in line of sight later?

[GopherGal]

12. My understanding is that he was a hole ahead of where TSF was

And the secret service were out on the golf course a hole ahead of the ... former president when they spotted and fired at this guy.

... And part of me says "no wonder the uktrianians wouldn't enlist this guy. He didn't even get a shot off."
