This will put him over the finish line.
Trump is the closest thing to a Founding Father we have ever seen in politics in our lifetimes!
FINALLY. The INSTANT an Secret Service sees a threat. That should have triggered INSTANTLY protecting the President. They waited at least 40 seconds, then the 7 shots before returning fire.
I don't know. I certainly don't want to be called a "Conspiracy Theorist" (ROTFLMAO), but it seems to me that this is that old pattern... Where EVERY MISTAKE seems to LEAN in the same direction...
1) It's like the guys with the SCOPES didn't scream "GUN" into their walkie talkies.
2) They then waited for shots first. NOT 1, the the first 3. But a group of 3, a slight pause and 4 more shots fired. Then 1 shot takes this guy out. When they had the right to shoot to kill JUST for him CRAWLING around over there. (I want the RECORDING of that earpiece chatter).
3) They FAILED to properly secure those other roofs.
4) The female Secret Service Members. The one was making herself SMALL, another TRAILING BEHIND, BEING SMALL. 100% orthogonal to their training.
5) The brought Trump to the Passenger Side of the vehicle... WTF, that was the side exposed to the crowd. Go to the drivers side, and guess what... They had MORE cover.
This is way too many mistakes.
And politically BIDEN's administration REFUSED to give Trump a Full Compliment of Secret Service. Likely they had the WORST team ever assembled for that day (and that should be reviewed). Was it "coincidentally" beginners Training Day? Sure feels like it.
But that's just me...
I don't believe for a second that it was across-the-board incompetence, no way.
He also suggested that DIE was designed to masked/protect the IDIOCY of the younger generation. The example he used was the Electric Pickup Truck. He raised his hand early on in a company meeting and ask "What's the distance to tow weight curve look like? And how does extreme Cold impact that?" (Being in Michigan).
My buddy was one of the smartest people I knew.
I miss him dearly!
Somehow you awakend a memory of it not long ago being in the news about colleges being asked to provide safe rooms for offended wimpy students.
History doesn't repeat itself, but it sure does rhyme.
Trumps is 6'2", you don't hire people who are 5' nothing to be body guards.
And you certainly don't keep people who cower under fire.
Diversity! My @$$
But from all of their perspectives, you and I are evil. Trump IS the anti-Christ, the epitome of evil. Maybe Dr Evil himself.
So while I fully agree with you about the good aways being shot, from their self-deluded perspective, it's the bad guys going down.
And that's a disease for which I don't think there is a cure for.
Joel C. Rosenberg wrote a superb 5-book series about the end times (The Last Jihad series).
In it, there is this wonderful character named Dr. Eliezer Mordechai, former head of the Mossad, who had this to say:
“The problem with you Americans is that you don't believe in evil. A man like Saddam Hussein, for example. Saddam tells the world for years that he has a territorial claim on Kuwait. Builds up his armed forces. Develops weapons of mass destruction. Moves troops to the border. Signals everyone he's going in. But all the boys and girls at the CIA and DIA say Saddam won't do it. Just saber-rattling. Just flexing his muscles. Couldn't possibly invade. Why would he? It would make no sense. It would be irrational. No arab nation has ever invaded another arab nation. Why start now? Saddam was painting us a road map, and you simply didn't believe he'd start the car and take the trip. Saddam Hussein was not a lunatic and in that case, he wasn't a liar. He was rational and calculating and evil. So he told the world what he was going to do – commit an act of evil, not an act of madness – and then he did it. It took a bunch of highly paid analysts with Harvard degrees to completely miss the simplicity of the moment.”
“I believe the terrorist is both capable and prone to acts of unspeakable evil, and you don't. I'm right, and you're wrong. It's not because I know more than your government. I don't. I know less. But I believe that evil forces make evil people do evil things. That's how I anticipate what can and will happen next in life. That's how I got to be the head of the Mossad, young man. And why I'm good at it. It's going to be one hell of an August, and my country is going to suffer very badly because your country doesn't believe in evil, and mine was born out of the ashes of the Holocaust”
He could not walk when led away. He would have to be carried.
The Presstitutes at the rally barely got out with their scalps.
The cops had to keep the mob from tearing them to pieces.
It was near thing, and this is just the beginnings of hostility towards the press.
Morning Mikie took a hike for the week.
Do you think she had to be asked? Hell no.
When agents got Trump to the ground, his shoes came off, reports the New York Post.
“The agents hit me so hard that my shoes fell off," Trump told the New York Post. "And my shoes are tight.”
He also applauded the agents for taking down the shooter.
"So, they nicked his ear. Too bad they missed. Did I say that out loud? I’m sure Bernie Sanders, Al French, or Ross Perot would gladly put their names in the running. They still might when Trump goes to jail. And you thought Uncle Joe was bad!".
It's taking all I have to not end a friendship of 50 years, but my position has always been to not let politics run my life.
When i moved here I walked into a Subway Sandwich Shop, on a coffee group of old retirees, February 2016, before Trump was the only news issue going on. The guys looked at me, dressed up clean, and thought I was a narc, or a "fu))ing" liberal from Seattle. One guy openly stood up and made a loud comment that if I was, I could just leave and not come back. I played along, apologizing to the group, and I walked out the door. Then I came back in, did a little dance, and told them I was just "sh))ting" them, that's the main reason I moved away from Seattle. They accepted me and I still attend coffee twice a day, 7 days a week.
I wrote my brother-in-law off my will.
I'm that guy you don't piss off.
