Why the bleep was the SS not watching nearby rooftops? They are supposed to anticipate, not stand around waiting to react. Someone should get fired.

all i saw was chicks with pony tails...SS is a joke.


Longer videos show a big burly guy directing the SS about getting Trump up. Yes there were females in the detail, but he certainly acted like he was in charge. That is until Trump says ‘Wait, wait!’, throws up his fist and says, ‘Fight, fight’ to the crowd. They then bundle him off.

This is on the SS and they failed.
Oh bullshit! You’re just another keyboard warrior who knows absolutely nothing about the circumstances.

He is correct, having dealt with the SS for many years this was clearly a failure in the complete sense.>>> There are documented SS partying drunk, etc. JFK had backup SS detail cuz they were all hung over.

the vid of them getting the President in the vehicle, the one SS chick is dropping everything...then tries 5 times to holster her weapon. In the background, theres another one with a rifle bigger than she is, waving it all around. Just absurd.

In “Heritage of Stone” Jim Garrison claimed, “there was too much about Oswald and that it came too soon. There was a pre-fabricated quality about the whole affair”. This was all being reported just a couple of hours after Kennedy was shot and before Oswald was even in custody. In the 21st century such detailed information would not be given a second thought, but it was decades before the first Facebook account.

New York Post is a globalist rag.

I’m not surprised they reported this.

The hotel I frequented in Berlin would close the roof top everytime Merkel was in town.

I’m under no illusion we’ll ever know the truth about the sniper.

No worries. If your remember, the Warren Commission was established by an executive order from then President LBJ. We all know now that the Warren Commission produced the most factual, objective and circumspect investigation and conclusions related to JFK's assassination. /s Rest assured that the attempt on President Trump's live will be investigated with the same level of vigor, professionalism and accuracy as the Warren Commission. /s

I was in Guatemala during elections there a few years agoo and they had drones flying past all the hotel windows checking them out.

This is wrong!!! The Secret Service just let this go. I really need to be hearing Dan Bongino on Monday to see what his take on this is.

Chinese man? Open border Chinese man?

That was my first thought. If so, it's on the Biden administration's no border policy.

I’d like an ID on the weapon.

Crowd members said in sounded like a .22. If it was really 200 yards, a) that’s a tough shot; and b) this was a warning.

If it was a suppressed .338 Lapua we have bigger problems.

Agreed. The hand of God must have steered the bullet away. anyone with even a moderate level of marksmanship training can make that shot with iron sites, and basically cannot miss with a scope, Especially from the prone position

I’m not one that attributes everything to divine intervention, but the fact that Trump is alive is a friggin miracle

They blew the perp's head off. But when they looked down his exposed throat, it was full of rice. /sarc

Missing something is bad enough but they were alerted to this threat by the eyewitness and didn’t take preventive action. Anyone knows they should have taken Trump to safeth immediately.

Heads should roll! Let’s start with that bastard Mayorkas, this is on him.

I’m more apt to believe in Santa Claus than “crazed lone assassins.”

The good news is that that the Deep State took their best shot and missed.

A second attempt is TOO much risk.

Although the Deep State took two shots at Gerry Ford in order to get David Rockefeller’s older brother in the White House.

On video, it did not sound like firecrackers. Definitely semi-automatic. Could be a .22.
