The UFC match plot: how a far-right group tried to assassinate Trump at his own event
2 months ago by LuckyDevil to c/world
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.
I thought it was interesting at the time how it was a conspiracy of like five dudes, but the headline across several news sites was like, "two dudes from California lead conspiracy to assassinate the president."
They refuse to admit there are more MAGAts here than any other state. They're just a minority of the population here.
"Democrat"-ic camera taking photos of the two together?
"Democrat"-ic birthday card Trump wrote and signed for Epstein?
"Democrat"-ic condoms depicting Trump saying I'M HUUUUGE?
"Democrat"-ic Mike Johnson saying just yesterday he is running a protection program for keeping Trump connected Republicans with potential dirty laundry away from investigation or prosecution?
Lefty rhetoric, like the truth. SMH. If they still believe it then they never will.
"tHe LeFt Is ThE pArTy Of ViOlEnCe!"
parroted Democrat conspiracy theories about President Trump protecting child predators connected to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein
It's not a conspiracy theory if it's a quantifiable fact with substantial evidence to back it up
It's Anti Antifa, the most dangerous of the Antifas! /s
Profa deez nuts
They put the "profa" in "prophylactic".
Fa fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa.
Fa fa fa fa fa, fa fa fa fa fa.
I been singing them sad sad sooooongs, sad songs is all I know
They can't seem to face up to the facts
Imagine sleeping through your own assassination
Don't you think he looks tired?
Amazing what just six words could accomplish.
Similar phrase used in "Stand Still Stay Silent" webcomic to great effect.
"Aren't you tired?"
low energy
Small pp energy, even
So tired its weird. Weird guy
the 5th staged assassination attempt.
The plotters bandied biblically-tinged language about “shepherds” and “lions’ dens”, and believed that demons (or at least demon-worshipers) were preying on children, itself a QAnon- and Epstein-era update of a centuries-old Christian antisemitic trope. According to court documents, investigators found a diary in which Proper “wrote that the government sought to control people and to sacrifice children and others to a demonic figure”.
I mean they're on the right track. Epstein was not disconnected from Israel, and a type of Israeli statist extremism... And he was sacrificing people/children to elites, people and children were definitely killed. It wasn't a vacation camp, or even some sort of 'clean' sex trafficking ring with rules against murder, or against letting in elites practice snuff/death/rage.
Trump himself is that kind of rapist, official witness statement say he beat girls/children and degrades them when they try to refuse him.
So this group really isn't far off the mark, despite the articles spin.
If only these right wing assholes would consult with us, we could offer them good advice
that is why GOP events ban firearms, they afraid for the same monsters they created.
Oh, yet another conveniently foiled assassination attempt for the guy claiming he really needs his secure ballroom. Well I say, all these foiled assassination attempts seem to suggest security is just fine.
Im making as many hamburgers as I can over here okay?
Idk, whats Luigi's political identity?
He seems pretty "self-correcting free market" kind of dude if he went after a CEO and not a Republican Legislator.
Keep in mind he's the rich heir to a fortune, with an ivy league education and used to have a six figure tech company desk job.
I was joking, but since you asked: why would a left wing attacker have to go after a ring wing politician? Anti-CEO sentiment is usually a pretty solid left wing view, especially when they’re squeezing people out of their savings by denying healthcare claims.
And he can be an heir, can have money but still be left wing. Those two are not mutually exclusive you know
Brian was immediately replaced, and the interim CEO who replaced him was later replaced by the shareholders in favor of a more profit-oriented CEO.
i mean i am theoretically distantly related to potato billionaires if i pull that thread of relations i've never met hard enough. but like so is the rest of the state of idaho so whatcha gonna do. but like, i'm poor. don't judge a person by their relations
the story is really good though it involves shady pool halls, angry drunken cigarette wives and Uncle... I forget his name so let's call him Uncle Darryl I don't have an Uncle Darryl that's what we've named Bigfoot. I'm going to have to ask Gran next reunion for all her sisters to figure out the official version of the story.
Americans are such losers
Guns everywhere yet not one of you meek mother fuckers gets the job done on time
those of us competent enough to do it are not competent enough to get away with it and are smart enough to know that. so we're like "huh. do i want to road trip across the country and get caught in kentucky? nah. I'll let kentucky do it. It's kind of THEIR whole deal anyways."
Understandable. But come on there must be one cool dude who just got the call and knows he's terminal, nothing left to lose
One girl that saw her world fall apart after selling her soul for the umpteenth time
One radical teenager that figured out shooting kids ain't going out with a bang at all
One mad boomer that ground up his own teeth over the years being bothered enough
One minority member that picks the path of the hero instead of the gangbanger
One father that saw his son radicalise voicing opinions that would make any man's neck hair stand
One downtrodden beat down slob that feels so low there's no downside to trying anyway
Department of Justice in name only.
Department of Just Us
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.
Easy to find, easy to manipulate, and cheap?
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.
yeah I feel this way. Its like what actually took place at the event. Are they going after trash talk bs or something.
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"
For those of us who watched Babylon 5, this seems like G'kar trying to assassinate Emperor Turhan. (Except this idiot is incapable of repenting.)
And yet they will blame the left and label the left as a terror organisation.
Its a shame they didn't succeed.
When I heard about the event this was my first thought. What a great opportunity for some real right wing nationalists, WHO HATE THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT TO BEGIN WITH, would realize that Trump is just a dreidel.
I don't know who this proper is, but I think his valid display of political opinion should be heard preferably in a cage match with Trump. Only a week pussy would lose and weak pussies shouldn't be in charge of America... Right?

Unsurprisingly, right-wing media is lying, claiming that these were lefties:
Also, Donald Trump does protect child predators connected to sex offender and former best buddy of Trump, Jeffrey Epstein.
