I keep hearing this too, which means there is a common source, not that the idea makes any sense. A year ago, maybe six months ago, but at this point Biden is locked in short of the undertaker and even if he suddenly discovers himself six feet under, there is still the little matter of Kamala Harris.
 
This could go in several threads including the Trump is Mentally Ill thread, but here goes:

Trump falsely claims Biden, FBI had plan to assassinate him during Mar-a-Lago search

The FBI has issued a rare statement after former President Donald Trump and several GOP lawmakers spread false claims suggesting President Joe Biden authorized his assassination during the search of his Mar-a-Lago resort in 2022.

In a fundraising email responding to right-wing media reports that offered a distorted reading of a newly-unsealed court filing in Trump's classified documents case, Trump falsely claimed Biden was "locked & loaded ready to take me out."

In a separate post on his Truth Social platform Tuesday evening, Trump further said he was "shown Reports" that Biden's DOJ "AUTHORIZED THE FBI TO USE DEADLY (LETHAL) FORCE" in their search of the property for classified documents.

Behind Trump's false claims is a major misrepresentation of an otherwise boilerplate policy memo that was included in newly-unsealed documents that accompanied a filing from Trump's own lawyers in his classified documents case in Florida on Tuesday.

The memo was part of a 'Law Enforcement Operations Order' drawn up by agents preparing to carry out the search of Mar-a-Lago on Aug. 8, 2022, after a magistrate judge agreed the government had shown probable cause that agents would find evidence of unlawfully retained national defense information and obstruction of justice on the premises.

"The FBI followed standard protocol in this search as we do for all search warrants, which includes a standard policy statement limiting the use of deadly force," the FBI said in a statement Tuesday evening. "No one ordered additional steps to be taken and there was no departure from the norm in this matter."

Multiple former FBI and DOJ officials also confirmed the standard nature of the inclusion of the deadly force policy.

"Anytime the fbi takes an adversarial action like executing a search warrant, there is a deadly force policy," former DOJ official and ABC News contributor Sarah Isgur tweeted. "If there is danger to you or public and there's no alternatives, you are authorized to use deadly force. This is standard policy."

While Trump said he first learned of the filing after being "shown Reports" about it after court proceedings were finished in his New York state criminal hush money case, Georgia GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene later posted on X she "made sure" Trump knew about the false claim the "Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate" him.

The operations order further shows how agents were well aware Trump would not be present at the property during the search, as it was carried out during Mar-a-Lago's off-season when Trump normally resides at his property in Bedminster, New Jersey.

They did, however, include a contingency plan in the event Trump showed up at the property mid-search, at which time they said FBI personnel on site would be prepared "to engage with" him and his Secret Service security detail. The full context shows there's no suggestion of the situation escalating into violence, and that it was more about assigning points of contact responsible for speaking with members of Trump's detail.

The order also further bolsters testimony from the former director of the FBI's Washington, D.C,. field office Steve D'Antuono, who previously testified to Congress he was "adamant" agents executing the warrant "didn't do a show of force."

Schumer said Trump's words can incite violence and get people killed, and cause people to lose faith in democracy.

"What Donald Trump said, falsely suggesting his political opponents are out to kill him, is beyond the pale and is the stuff that leads to political violence," Schumer said.

On an interview (Cats and Cosby Show, WABC Radio)

Trump responded to the host asking him his reaction to it being authorized by Biden's DOJ?

"Well. These are vicious people. These are fascists, communists."

Steve Bannon is claiming on his show that the FBI had 'a medic, they had a plan to triage the wounded, they had a trauma center 18 miles away on a map. This was an attempted assassination of Donald John Trump."

Jesse Watter on Fox repeated the lie: "Biden unleashed armed agents onto Trump's house authorizing them to use deadly force."

MTG: "The Biden DOJ and FBI were planning to assassinate Pres. Trump and gave the green light."

Paul Gosar: "Biden ordered the hit on Trump at Mar-a-Lago."

Bunch of freaking MORONS!!





CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!

This level of mobilized B.S. reeks of desperation, Trump's latest internal polling report must have been devastating.

Not really. Par for the course with today's GOP.


He's horrible, he's unfit, he's a liar, he's a divider but I'm voting for him!

He's also best they have. He's their only chance to stay relevant. Trump would never have risen if there was at least half-decent Republican candidate. And they know it. That's why he has so much support. He's a clown and outsider, but he's well known, and that's pretty much the most important thing.

Morons? Perhaps.

They know they're lying, though. They know that they're acting to incite violence. They know plenty.

Calling them stupid may be correct, but it doesn't really get to the heart of things. What they're choosing to do is evil. It's as simple as that.

In 2020 there were eight-wing rags that on multiple occasions said definitively that Hillary Clinton was going to enter the race. Even as Biden secured the nomination they continued to claim it.

I assume it was just propaganda to whip up anti-Hillary sentiment in the GOP but I guess Gavin Newsom is going to be the new hate target for the GOP?
