Everything moves so fast nowadays that its easy to forget some of the funny events from the year. I posted the financial columnist getting scammed article recently, that happened in February, seems like a million years ago! Even the Trump assassination attempt barely stuck in my mind. Please share your faves!

    There was a third assassination attempt, right? But I think it got caught by the feds first. Something about explosives?

        I looked into it a little more. The feds accused a 51 year old Afghan national named Farhad Shakeri of being hired by Iran to kill Trump, but arrested him before anything happened. The accusation says that Shakeri was part of a wide network of Iranian hired spies and assassins. Iran denies all of it.

        Now that I read into it more it sounds more like nonsense that someone in the FBI or state department cooked up to saber rattle against Iran
