This picture seems appropriate.

no words necessary

As expected, this assassination attempt has changed the campaigns and Trump's standing in America. Democrats in Congress feel the process of ousting Biden has stopped, and that Trump will win.

quote:

A senior House Democrat reportedly told Axios that many in Congress have resigned themselves to a second Trump term following an assassination attempt on the former president’s life this weekend.

Me, I think it was inevitable before the debate and the shooting, but without a doubt, it is unstoppable now; Trump will be #47.

You’re telling me a Secret Service rifle with likely a Schmidt &bender 5-25 or similar and the clearest glass in the world can’t tell a telescope Vs a rifle with a guy on a roof pointing in an aggressive way at inside 150 yards? Screw that clown whoever said that.

FYI Kamala’s female agent that allegedly lost her shit and threw tampons at male agents before being yanked from duty was previously engaged in a $1mm lawsuit vs Dallas PD for alleged discrimination or some shit and she lost that suit. Helluva DEI hire there. Here’s a wild thought. Maybe, just maybe. During election year yank 1-2 guys doing counterfeit money crimes from every major SS office and get them a month or 2 of intense VIP protection re-training for candidate protection during the primary and election season. And the fact RFK Jr still has not been given secret service protection is criminal.

Thanks to God that Ree Tardy Oswald couldn’t dope downrange wind.

Whoa.

The classified documents case just got tossed.

^^^That's a shame.

The only thing better would be to see the FBI agents who planted evidence getting arrested.

Christoper Wray a RINO endorsed choice for Trump. Hope next time when RINOS pushes somebody DJT Goes in the opposite direction. Hope He fires him on Day 1!

Why did it take so long to dismiss this case on those grounds? Nothing has changed since the raid. Should have been dismissed the next day.

Now imagine the public reaction if that commie judge tries to put Donald Trump in jail at his sentencing in September. It would be just too much.

It was due to the recent Supreme Court rulings. Justice Thomas hinted in his concurring opinion that the documents case may end up being a giant waste of time and could eventually be tossed out because he questioned the legitimacy of Smith's appointment.

But the legitimacy problem with Smith's appointment existed the day he was appointed. And as much as I agree with Justice Thomas, his comments on that case were pretty much extraneous to the case they ruled on. POTUS immunity has nothing to do with the fact that the Independent Counsel Law had expired, was not renewed and the AG just decided to appoint one anyway.

On another [automotive] forum that I'm on, it's pretty vitriolic hate for Trump on there [they have a segregated religion & politics subforum]

I don't generally venture into that section, but took a browse today, expecting the usual. There were a few with similar mentalities to what some of the twitter/x posts have shown from the left, but it was much less spewing of hatred than typical.

yes. Justice Thomas standing tall

As this cluster unfolds and fingers get pointed, I need to point out that MANY towns in PA simply have no local police force whatsoever and instead rely on the Pennsylvania State Police for coverage and IMO this practice needs to be reigned way in, there are too many areas doing this and they don't pay for it and the PSP ends up getting stretched too thin.

This was a major screwup and some heads need to roll ASAP.

Why not? He's a former sitting POTUS who's entitled to all the benefits to include protection services for him and his family. His own private security likely has a number of former USSS officers so, interoperability and familiarization with current operations should be relatively seamless.

quote:

As far as USSS blaming local police, I'll assume USSS manages the entire security plan, if the local police didn't do as instructed that's one thing, but if USSS didn't instruct and left that to them without verifying, they're idiots or negligent at least.

Its USSS' show, local and state LE agencies assist. Where they set the boundaries of responsibilities will interesting, still waiting to see if the story of the local LE who came across the shooter on the roof before the activities started is true, and more details to that engagement. Was communications unclear? overwhelmed? incompetent? was this Keystone Kops with attention & directions?

Not my intention to sound depressed or anything but I just remember that it was the FBI that gave us the Russian collusion documents, those two wonderful high quality champions of integrity Strocz and Page.

My faith in the FBI to produce anything approaching reality would be a 180 degree shift over what they’ve been producing for the last decade.

I hope I’m wrong but the FBI is still a Democrat run disinformation organization pretending to be a law enforcement agency.

It’s up to them to prove they are up to the task of getting to the truth. I’m not willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. That train left a long time ago.
