Trump Assassination Attempt(s)

[DinkinFlicka]

Did you try to assassinate anyone? If not, might want to sit it out in trying to defend the shooter. Coming across as a sympathizer.

And you're coming across as a tribalist dilhole.

Oh good grief I'm not defending I'm just saying a $20 donation years ago means almost nothing. I'll spend more today on dumber stuff than that

Thats great. I said “Show me where your political money goes, and I’ll show you your priorities.” Have fun on your Sunday Funday.

Don't play along, UTVOL, Trumpers like Majors make it their mission to twist statements into things you never said. It's called smear posting. I tend to be one of his favorite targets for that. The tactic is the first cousin of their other strategy of Divert, Dismiss, Deny, and Lie. Playing along is getting you to defend something you never said, thus dragging you farther and farther away from what you actually did say.

Great, the board court jester making an early entry. Today, I’ll take tribalist over sympathizer.

Again, past money means almost nothing. You couldn't tell a thing about my priorities with old receipts. About as useful a EL posting the shooter's a registered Republican

Didn't the SCOTUS say official acts couldn't be persecuted? On a more serious note, the decline in taking pride in one's work, and focus on quality has been going on for decades now. We see it everywhere. The Boeing mess, amusement park rides, shrinkflation, dealers bending rules to sell cars brought to them for repairs, and keeping your money to boot, lawmakers stealing public funds to put into their own pockets or pay for facilities for a community; or direct it to districts not part of their service area, and so on. So I'm not surprised when the SS doesn't do the necessities to protect those they are assigned to protect. People of all professions these days, just don't REALLY give a dayum, and we're seeing the results.

I agree with what you’re saying, but I don’t think that mindset would typically apply to something like the SS. I imagine they’ve changed their hiring practices to be more inclusive and to have people that have zero business being in those roles. When Trump was getting back in the motorcade, there was one female SS agent that struggled pulling her gun out, and then struggled putting it back in. She is clearly not cut out for the role. And I’m not saying that women can’t be SS agents, because I’m sure there are some that would be incredible, but this agent has zero business protecting anyone.


We need to get back to hiring the best people for every job, based on their abilities and skills.

Watching the different news channels this morning you can definitely tell who the sycophants on both sides of the spectrum are.

If it comes out he actually lied about being shot.....most DJT thing ever.

My god...please stop

FoxLive is reporting that FBI identifies shooter as Thomas Matthews Crooks

is he the 3rd suspect so far? He's the first one identified by FBI, I think. There is another name that came out since they reported this. I wonder if they'll switch?

Too many people yelling to law enforcement and SS about the shooter and his location in plain view of sharp shooters for this to just be incompetence. Maybe their ROE have been altered and they were told they couldn’t shoot unless someone else fired first. And surely SS use drones to observe the crowd/surroundings as well. This guy was too easy to spot.

My conspiracy is they knew about him, did nothing. The deep state gave him ONE shot to get it done. If he fails, he’ll get killed himself so he can’t name names.

They’re just trying to find anyone that’s a white male.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

I still don’t get how this guy was able to get so close with a freaking rifle at an elevated position.

Might be because he was a member of the red hat gang.

For those who lean conspiratorial:
Isn't it possible this was a culmination of error and confusion in the moment?

Why would this need to be anything more?

 

[norrislakevol]

There's video?

Somebody posted it here. There was video of the Secret service counter sniper at his position.

Because it’s troubling to the human mind when the answer is simple and leaves you feeling vulnerable.

The only thing that got my attention was the video of the SS snipers

TEXT FROM A PROFESSIONAL SNIPER:

This guy is a pro. +20 years of Military Service. Trained with Secret Service. Currently active-duty. Listen to this:

“I have no f-----g clue what they are doing. I'm still trying to wrap my head around a building being 150 yards away that was outside the security perimeter and had rooftop access. I've trained with and completed against the SS snipers and they are the fastest and most accurate shooters I've ever seen. The fact they let this happen makes less than ZERO SENSE!”

 

[WoodsmanVol]

What's so strange isn't much there that is a threat, its not like its in right in town... there is a water tower further away but there really wasn't much to monitor up high.

Very avoidable for sure.

We don't see eye to eye, LSU, but I have to agree with you here. In this day and age with amazing drones, including some that are literally bird and insect sized, this was preventable.

It’s not uncommon for liberals to register as republicans so they can vote against a candidate they don’t like in the primaries. I remember that happening here in Knox County a few years ago for some school board candidates. They voted in the primaries to keep a lady (Sherri Garrett I think) from being the republican choice in order to get Steve Tripplet as the official Republican candidate because they thought he’d lose once it came out that he had stolen from a private school. The liberals were openly bragging about it.

Tennessee has open primaries. No party registration. Anyone can vote in whichever primary they wish.

1. I think the SS did a great job of getting up there to protect Trump very fast. Probably the thing they should have done in hindsight is rushing him off stage.... force him. It was like Trump didn't want to leave. Those people risked their lives either way so great job overall.
2. Whoever was staking the place out, actually had an easy job.... there is only a few places that an elevated shooter could be for the most part. You have to have multiple eyes on that roof and a sniper up in the water tower.
3. The snipers on the roof behind trump seemed to be engaged on the shooter's direction, however with that close a range what were they waiting on? Easily see a rifle with modern lenses from that close a range... that close range.
4. At the point that guy was laying down up there, you have to get Trump off the stage at the minimum.
5. I am assuming that building the SS did not have access to, to control directly.... if they did have access or that is part of the event than wtf?
6. Did the kneeling sniper shoot the guy in the crowd on that side? Something isn't quite right, I have no idea how he could take the shooter out that quick and he doesn't even appear to be lined up at all??????

Thank you.

I didn't know it was to find solace.
