Thomas Matthew Crooks clearly put in serious practice at a gun range before trying to kill Donald Trump -- because now we know just how bad of a shot he was in high school, and why he didn't make his rifle team.
TMZ has spoken to sources who are directly familiar with Crooks' attempt to get on that team at Bethel Park High School, and we're told he had a disastrous effort on the shooting range ... sometime between 2018 and 2019 which resulted in him not making the squad.
Our sources -- who knew Crooks personally -- tell us he wasn't just a bad shot ... he was a total mess with a firearm, which was proven when he accidentally shot into a completely different lane from his own.
Bill Maher God Didn't Save Donald Trump ... He's Just a Lucky Mother F****r!!!
Bill Maher is fed up to HERE with all the talk that God saved Donald Trump from assassination ... and he's here to tell the world, all this God talk is BS.
The 'Real Time' host launched on all the Republicans who have said God spared Trump, as if God intervenes when leaders are at risk. In fact, Bill notes, Congressman Steve Scalise said right after the shooting, "Yesterday there were miracles, and I think the hand of God was there too." Well, Steve himself was critically shot a few years ago, so BM mused maybe "God was having an off day."
Maher's point seems to be you can like Trump, but don't turn him into a demigod, because historically that never ends well.

She says Glen's rep notified them of his interest and asked about the next steps. Glen then filled out an application and met the pup in person, and it was love at first bark.
