A woman who mailed then-President Trump a threatening letter that contained ricin weeks before the 2020 election was sentenced to 262 months in prison on Thursday, the Department of Justice announced.
I always wondered why we don’t hear about assassination attempts more often. I bet the secret service et. al. have their work cut out for them on that front.
If it was a successful attempt by agent 47 the headline would be like “antique lavish chandelier falls upon Trump in freak accident at fundraising event in Mar-A-Lago. No foul play suspected, say police”
If it’s in russia, the headline would read “[Name] fell from window and is yet another random victim in the string of freak window-related fall deaths.”
“We are saddened to hear about [Name] committing suicide by shooting himself twice in the back of the head with a silenced pistol and then throwing himself off a roof”
Phew we almost had an original comment chain there
We have no proof that reddit was behind this, but we don’t have any doubts, either.
If I’m playing it’s more like “String of Bizarre Accidents Leave 16 Dead at Mar-A-Lago, Including President”
