A suspect who shot at a White House checkpoint was killed in an exchange of fire with Secret Service agents on Saturday evening, officials have confirmed.
The BBC’s US media partner CBS has named the suspect as Nasire Best, a 21-year-old man who was known to the protection agency and had a documented history of mental health conditions.
Counting or not counting gang violence?
Beautiful.
Famous last words
I still can’t believe those were actually his last words. Sounds like something straight from fiction.
I picture someone walking up to the microphone right afterwards and saying “…Not including gang violence.”
New justification for the west wing bunk… err, ballroom incoming.
East wing
Why not both while taxpayer is funding it?
Watching the coverage, apparently someone pulled a gun close to the White House and got taken down by Secret Service.
One bystander was also injured, but it’s unclear if it was by the perpetrator or the Secret Service.
Based on the quote from the SS, I’m guessing they shot the bystander. If they were shot by the suspect then they’d say so, this is how cops talk to the media when they fuck up to frame the conversation.
I have no trust in the Regime. It is a coinflip whether it is a false flag or real, and honestly, I wouldn’t mind it if Agent Blood Orange becomes a reality.
Really, he did say he couldn’t go to his kid’s wedding because he’s gonna get killed, like this was a scheduled shooting.
I say one more and he’ll start claiming he needs to take away our guns for his safety.
Lol then the right wing 2nd amenders would lose their minds
Some of those minds are already gone, nothing to lose.
Pro-gun + Kleptocracy is an unwise mix.
And Trump immediately renews calls for his ballroom.
I hope that monstrosity never gets built, and he has to spend his entire presidency staring at a big muddy hole, like the slumlord he is.
What’s this supposed to distract us from? I’ve lost track.
This wasn’t an assassination attempt. No political targets were anywhere near by, let alone Trump. This was a mentally ill man who committed suicide-by-cop.
This one is probably intended to secure the ballroom/bunker funding that is stalled in Congress.
That ballroom needs to remain a hole, as long as he’s president, like the slumlord he has always been. He turned the White House into the ugliest ghetto in DC, that’s where he can spend his presidency, looking at a muddy hole.
Is the White House now considered a bad neighborhood?
Trump said that he made DC so safe.
“Can’t have shit on the North Lawn.”
In the 80’s that would have just been a normal day.
I’m going to guess it was something stupid or cops (I’m just being specific I know that cops are stupid)
Here’s hoping.
I’m so disappointed
Who would be surprized if the shooter was a MAGA hat?
This guy just keeps getting shot at! I wonder if it’s a result of his constantly terrible governing, his incredible narcissism, the fact that the only thing he can output is suffering, or even that his feelings of joy themselves are fraudulent.
Maybe all four?
Don’t forget he hires people solely based on whether they will swear personal allegiance to him, but he’s never loyal to them. So no competent person would ever want to work for him.
Honestly, I think he’s just that trashy, the whole DC neighborhood has gone downhill since he moved in…
All I know is it’s definitely NOT the child raping. Nope.
He hates these cans! Stay away from these cans!

The bottom panel is a gas station attendant standing near a display or motor oil cans and pointing at them in an excited manner, some of which have bullet holes. This is a scene from the Steve Marton movie The Jerk when a crazed gunman is trying to kill the main character for no reason.
St. Louis?
yeah, he’s gonna stay that color.
Are you saying that trump is repeating his YMCA dance because his staff told him to try it once, he saw it was successful and just repeats it constantly because he has nothing else?
The list of moves he has are
- YMCA
- Confuse
- Grift
- Belittle
- Doze off
One…two… three… and SHITPANTS forgot YMCA!
SHITPANTS learned DOZE OFF!
You forgot about the weird double jerkoff dance he does
He’s just so amazing, that everyone happens to want to kill him! That’s what happens when everyone loves you, right?
I really gotta stock a bottle of champagne, or one of these days I’ll be caught unprepared
Gotta run to the store before they sell out
I’ve had a bottle of 2006 Piper Heidseck vintner’s reserve champagne on standby since his first term
Is it too much to ask for some competence?
If we were a competent nation we wouldn’t be in the mess to begin with.
As the old saying goes, if you want something done right…
