Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that Trump was never the assassin's intended target. It was Mr. Comperatore that Corey was after, for some personal grudge, and Trump just happened to get in the way.

They were both from PA. Crooks could easily have known Mr. Comperatore.

In all seriousness, though, all respect to Mr. Comperatore and sympathy for his grieving family. And I don't actually believe this was anything other than what it appears: right-wing violence turned against itself, and both an incompetent shooter, and incompetent Secret Service security. Trump got lucky on both counts: he survived an attack, and has a perfect campaign photo.

My favorite conspiracy theory is that this is evidence Trump has quantum immortality.
