And that, my friend, is the whole problem!

Steeped in communist propaganda since kindergarten, with average IQ at 85, a whole heard of voters is cultivated.

In addiiton, the voter numbers not being sufficient to guarantee outcomes, they simply cheat, in every way they can, and then swing to the right for pre election pontification, just in case.

For the majority, commies cannot win just on their ideas, for their idea(s) is to destroy this country, and rearrange it, with them as the infinite and perpetiual power.

Grandma just finished a half-hour or so worth of “news” surfing (ABC, NBC, CBS) and went back to nap a bit.

My personal take on the things I just overheard: That’s gotta be the absolute biggest mass Cover-My-A@@ exercise I’ve ever heard/seen.

Almost like watching the entire bureaucrat/media population caught out in the middle of Main Street with their pants down around their ankles and hoping they can just make it all go away if they can talk a little faster.

Sure won’t drive me/mine to violence but if any of us had some trust remaining in media/government it’s deader than that failed assassin.

I just sent emails to my reps wanting to know why some of the SS agents protecting my President are too short to shield his upper body. If more than one shooter was involved yesterday we could have lost President Trump.

Exactly! The only way they stay in power is by putting a gun in your face. They keep showing that year after year.

Read somewhere that when the shooter took his shot at PDJT and he went down that he started firing randomly into the crowd.

Nobody will be fired even though the operation failed.

From Erik Prince

after the tragedy yesterday in Butler PA we can all recognize that unaccountable bloated bureaucracies continue to fail us as Americans.

Donald J Trump is alive today solely due to a bad wind estimate by an evil would be assasin.

As the graphics show the full value wind of just 5mph was enough to displace the unconfirmed but likely light 55 grain bullet two inches from DJT’s intended forehead to his ear.

DJT was not saved by USSS brilliance. The fact that USSS allowed a rifle armed shooter within 150yds to a preplanned event is either malice or massive incompetence. Clearly there was adequate uncontrolled dead space for a shooter to move into position and take multiple aimed shots. Watching the newsreel one can hear how proximate the shooter is by the very short time lapse between the crack of arriving bullet (supersonic) to the boom of muzzle blast (sonic).

The law enforcement sniper (unclear if USSS) in newsreels was clearly overwhelmed as his face came off his rifle instead of doing his job to kill the shooter. Clearly they were watching the shooter but apparently have a no “first shot” policy. The only positive action was an apparent 488yd shot by one USSS sniper which despatched the assasin but after the assassin launched at least 5 rounds, wounding DJT and killing and severely others in the crowd.

In my old business of providing Diplomatic Security in two active war zones we were expected to execute the basics or we would be fired. Clearly USSS failed at the basics of a secure perimeter and once shots were fired their extraction was clumsy and left DJT highly exposed to follow on attacks. It looked like they had never drilled together because those responses should be effectively autonomic. Will there be accountability? That’s not the Washington way.

Unserious and unworthy people in positions of authority got us to this near disaster. Merit and execution must be the only deciding factors in hiring and leadership, not the social engineering priority of the day. Sadly nothing in Washington reflects that any longer. DJT is right to question the competence of those protecting him because yesterday they failed in almost every way. Nature abhors a vacuum and there are always other options.

Most importantly, as Americans let’s come together and run a proper valid election so we can get back to what matters a merit based society that judges on character and skill. Nothing else.

Experienced firearms posters have said an inexperienced shooter would get only 1 good shot off before the AR kicked his aim away from original target....sounds likely

When the "rooftop 400 feet away, outside the perimeter" thing came up, my first thought was "how far away was that open window in Dallas from Kennedy's limo"? And that was a moving target.

Secret Service had 60 years to learn from the 1963 "mistake".

Until it is proven it was not Biden/Barak ordering the kill, it was Biden. They are out of bullets.

I’d not heard of the more distant anti-snipers....where were they at 488 yds ?

He got more then 1 good shot off. “Experience Firearm posters” are talking pure BS. An AR has very little recoil.

He was 150 meters away on a unsecure roof top with ladder access left in place.

No amount of lying and media noise can cover up the fact that was, at best, reckless near criminal incompetence by the Secret Service. The SS that, as it happens, works for Der Biden and his regime.

I doubt any of this happens by coincidence.

I said before, and will say again,

What kind f security detail plans an event, and does not secure the nearest rooftop sniper hide, before the event?

Regardless of which local force was ultimately tasked with the job, some planning overseer was grossly incompetent and simply was not performing at the level they were assigned to perform.

Or they were, with different motive.

At a minimum you have a uniform standing at that ladder. Regardless of what resources SS uses, state local, their own THEY OWN the site and are responsible for it.

I belong to a Orthodox Presbyterian church. Very conservative. The pastor offered a good portion of the pastoral prayer to the assassination attempt noting the families of the dead and wounded and decrying political violence. While he didn’t specifically call out R vs D it was obvious.
