Holy Crap: You Can Clearly See Matthew Crooks Running Across the Infamous "Sloped Roof" to Get Into Position to Kill Trump -- and the Secret Service Just Watched and Let It Happen

We can see him -- but apparently our Straight-Shooter Heroes of the Secret Service couldn't.

Keep in mind that Democratic hack -- not some kind of law enforcement professional or Secret Service lifer -- Ronald Rowe Jr. is the man responsible for denying adequate protection to Trump, and he's now "investigating" himself.

Gee I wonder if he'll clear himself of any wrongdoing?


Mike Lee wants to know why the Secret Service let Trump take the stage knowing full well there was a man armed with a rifle sneaking around on the Sloped Roof.

And he's willing to openly state that they're lying -- and to openly question their motives in all of this.


Republican Sen. Mike Lee of Utah questioned during a press conference on Tuesday why the Secret Service allowed former President Donald Trump to take the stage on July 13 when they knew of a potential threat over an hour prior.

...

During the press conference after the hearing, Lee said that the Secret Service lied repeatedly about the events that day and questioned their motives in doing so.

"Why on earth did they ever let Donald Trump take the stage?" Lee asked during the press conference.

"It's not as though the Secret Service has comported itself in a manner that calls out to us, to defer to them, to have confidence in them," Lee said during the press conference. "Nobody wants to believe the worst, to suspect the worst about what happens within government. But when they lied to us repeatedly, then when they refused to answer the most basic questions, when they almost willfully declined to take any of the most basic precautions in order to protect the former president."

...

"These are and should be obvious and easy, basic questions for the Secret Service to answer, and they have had no fewer than 17 days since the attack to answer these questions," Lee said during the press conference. "These are questions that they should have started asking and probably should have been able to answer within 24 hours."

"What I heard, what my colleagues heard, what you heard if you were watching was we're looking into it," Lee said during the press conference. "I'm sorry, that doesn't cut it.

He's all but accusing Rowe of willing this assassination to happen:


"Remember, King David didn't personally kill Uriah the Hittite," Lee said during the press conference. "But he let them go out into a battlefield where he knew there was an imminent risk of grave bodily injury. And he made sure he didn't have adequate protection. We got to get to the bottom of these questions to make sure that Donald Trump was not intended to be a Uriah the Hittite."

He's not the only one questioning if the Secret Service's "failure" here was part of a
"plot."

David Strom:


I have really bent over backward to give the Secret Service more than reasonable slack to explain how they could fail so catastrophically in their duty to protect once and future president Donald Trump.

I really have, and am still pretty certain that nobody in the government was involved in the specific attempt on the life of Trump in Pennsylvania. It doesn't bear thinking of, so I am not going to unless there is extraordinary evidence to prove it. It seems beyond belief that Secret Service agents around Trump, who have been with him a long time, would participate in something so evil. And Trump is confident that his agents didn't.

But I am well past the point where I have to conclude that the Secret Service was set up to fail in protecting Donald Trump and that it was a goal of the Biden Administration to have him put in danger and possibly killed.

It actually pains me to say that because, while I think that the Establishment has been getting increasingly scummy and have malicious plans for Americans, I thought there were limits beyond which they would not go. This is the United States of America, and we should still be able to assume that our leaders are not outright evil, or at least that they would recoil from anything this evil.

I no longer believe that, and serious Members of Congress--not the fringy ones you might expect to go there--are voicing the same concern.

Yesterday I wrote about my belief that Alejandro Mayorkas--the Secretary of Homeland Security and ultimate boss of the Secret Service--consciously chose to weaken security around Donald Trump. It seems to me to be the only explanation for the extraordinary number of failures that led to the shooting that took the life of a great American, seriously wounded others and got Donald Trump shot in the head.

...


Not a single person involved with the failure has been fired or suspended. Not one. It would be "unfair persecution" to even suspend anyone at this point.

Come on.

Now, Alejandro Mayorkas has replaced Director Cheatle with the man whose job was to oversee the protective details, which failed.

Let that sink in. The man who should be one of the investigated is RUNNING the investigation.


Everybody knows there is a coverup because, well, they are covering everything up.

...

Sean Davis at the Federalist has been beating the drum on this for a long time, and I have been reluctant to follow because it seems so implausible to me that the corruption at the top would go this far. But he has a point:


What WOULD they have done differently, other than just not show up at all? They LEFT THE OBVIOUS PLACE FOR A SHOOTER TO PERCH HIMSELF UNGUARDED, were warned that an armed gunman was on the roof, and did nothing until there was blood on the ground.

...

Former Seal Team member and current Congressman Ryan Zinke asks the obvious question: was this incompetence willful and knowing? The latter, now, seems more plausible.

...


Director Rowe must go. He is exactly the wrong person to be in charge of this investigation since he should be one of the people investigated. Don't be fooled by his empty mea culpas. Admitting that there was a failure is the easiest thing to do because it is incontrovertible. He is engaged in a coverup of something, and we need answers from somebody not involved.

Here's Representative Zinke, saying that an assassination attempt is one thing, but we may be looking at an "assassination plot:"




I can't buy the Strong Form of this idea -- that they intended Trump to be killed. That's a big idea for a group of people to commit to.

But I can believe the Weak Form of the idea: They deliberately stripped Trump of Secret Service protection, because the Deep State was angry that they told Trump he wasn't allowed to run for president, and he defied their commands, so they did what the left now does constantly: They deplatformed him.

Giving him Secret Service protection would be "platforming" the Bad Orange Man, and good liberals and progressives don't "platform" all them millions of New Hitlers they're constantly waging war with. They take away their ability to speak publicly.

As AOC proudly crowed after Fox fired Tucker Carlson, largely due to the left's demands that advertisers boycott him: "Deplatforming works."


So they tried to deplatform Trump by exposing him to danger, hoping he'd get the hint and desist in his defiance of the Deep State, but he went out to speak anyway.

And the inevitable happened.

I don't think they exactly intended it to happen this way.

But I think they brought an Ivan Drago attitude to it: If he dies, then he dies.

I believe Drago also mentioned that Apollo Creed shouldn't even have been in the ring.

And that's what the Deep State believes: We ordered Trump out of the presidential ring, he refused, so we deplatformed him.

And if he dies, he dies.


People need to go to prison. If they don't, then this will be resolved the other way unresolveable conflicts are typically resolved.

What do you think? Am I giving them too much credit?

Update: A friend says he's starting to believe in a "soft conspiracy" here. Which I take to mean a conspiracy that wasn't fully agreed to, formally, but was the product of a dozen decisions that basically amounted to "Fuck Trump, we told him he was not allowed to run, so if he runs, he gets what he gets."

Maybe no one actually formed the intent that he should die -- but there was a lot of "he gets what he gets" type thinking.


165 "he gets what he gets" was even MORE obvious in the regime's hateful, vindictive decision to deny protection to RFK, Jr.

40 To recap:

1. The USSS erased all of their comms for the event.
2. They will not release or turnover their security plan for the event.
3. They will not release the RACI Matrix or Resource Plan.
4. They will not release their RAID analysis.
5. They did not see a sniper running across a roof 150m away until he started firing at their protectee.
6. They left their drones at home nor did they bring any counter drone equipment.
7. Which allowed an assassin to fly a drone in what should have been protected airspace.
8. They failed to secure literally the perfect platform for an assassin to set up shop because of 1/12 pitch.
9. A tree blocked their view.

48 willowed:

I think we're going to see an entirely different electoral battleground map being fought over by GOP and Dems over the next generation. We've basically been in the same red states vs blue states map since 2000, but in the future, I think Dems are going to focus on making Georgia, Arizona, and North Carolina reliable blue states, and the GOP will shift their focus on turning Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania into their new targets.

With the current electoral map, if you give Kamala AZ, NV, GA, and NC, she wins with 275 vs 263, even if Trump takes all three of PA, MI, and WI. He would need to flip MN to take the White House, with 273 vs 265.

It'll probably be a couple more Prez elections to get there, but I think that's the new map we're heading toward.

70 The insinuation that this was an affirmative plot, like those by Zinke calling it willing and knowing, is a political mistake.

Let people draw their own conclusions.

72 The Biden Administration, specifically Mayorkas, deliberately weakened the security posture of Trump's detail, thus creating the conditions wherein even an amateur assassin could exploit those weaknesses and successfully breach the security perimeter, gain line of sight, and murder the GOP nominee. Matters on the ground were helped along once a suspicious person had been identified. Crooks was fairly cavorting on that rooftop. Secret Service leadership knew he was up there. They let him get into position. They let him take that first shot.

It was all deliberate, Ace. They'll try again. It's all they've got.

77 70 The insinuation that this was an affirmative plot, like those by Zinke calling it willing and knowing, is a political mistake. It will smell like a conspiracy theory to normies and will blunt the impact of the assassination attempt itself. The focus should be on the incompetence of the Secret Service as a reflection of the incompetence of the federal government under the Biden/Harris administration. Let people draw their own conclusions.

HE DOESN'T ANSWER THEIR QUESTIONS. He’s just doing his speech like always sitting down!!! He’s just walking all over them….OMG They're Laughing At Him! Bwahahaha!

He says she was Indian and then “she made a turn and became a black person.” He's making enough commercials for Kamala to last the season. Weird whiny old racist.

He claimed the first person that asked him a question was rude and basically refused to answer her question and then asked her to define DEI. He is obviously in a really bad mood and I’m loving every minute of it!!! The audience has been regularly gasping!

True. That is why the caterwauling about how the MSM coverage sux is basically out of date. The Internet broke the old MSM model of controlled facts---the feedback loop is much faster now with modern samizdat and the trust in media is now centered in old Silents and Boomers that watch TV and buy dead tree newsprint.

The best thing one can do with the legacy media is turn their shit off and drop your subscriptions to things like the WSJ etc.

The testimony of that counter sniper is going to be rather telling I'd say. He's no newbie. He's been around for a long while, and has a rather ceremonious record of competence. His willingness to launch that email suggests that they need to shut him up, because he's not just going to comment on the Trump thing...and it's not going to go away.

After the debate, they harped on the idea that Trump refused to answer questions.

He refused the premise of the question, turned it to his advantage, and went into typical Trump lines about the issues he wanted to talk about. It's pretty standard politics except he outright calls out the stupid premise instead of just bypassing it, which is what most politicians do.

They say this as a huge flaw in his debate skills and proof that Biden won the debate.

That's a big problem with conspiracies. At least I think so.

If you wanted to rob a bank, it's very hard to get non-bank-robbers to agree to do it. And you're taking a huge chance just by bringing it up.

(I say "non-bankrobbers" because while it may be easier to get people with a history of robbing banks to agree -- easier but not easy; they also are on guard about being set up by a fed agent -- it's harder to go to people with a clean record and enlist them. These people are all partisan deep staters, but none, I'd guess, has a history with arranging presidential assassinations.)

the erasure of all coms between the SS during that period almost instantly.

Planned attempt speaks for itself.

Spur of the moment attempt would be they see an assassination suspect, it's reported, then they ignore protocol to allow Trump to be shot. Remember how many times that a-hole fired before they took action.

People need to go to jail or to the gallows for this if convicted in a court of law.

I don't think the GOP will split. The GOPe has been weakened to the point where they can only grouse about Vance behind anonymity. They might have split if Trump had gone third party at any point within the past 8 years.

The Democrats have the possibility now. It depends on how well candidates RFK and Jill Stein will do in November.

If you're an old-School Democrat who hates rich Republicans because they hate Labor, also FDR gave your granddaddy a job, personally, during the Great Depression, but you can't stand Kamala for whatever reason, plus you watched as your vote in the primary got completely discarded, voting third party is a good outlet.

If Harris had been the target of an assassination attempt shortly after becoming the Democrat's choice things would be dramatically different. This is the two tier justice system applied to the left vs. the right based solely on ideological differences.

Duverget's Law says no. Basically first past the post systems always have two dominant political parties. Proportional representation always have three or more depending on whether a cutoff exists of a certain percentage needed for representation. Brazil was an extreme example and Israel is another of splintered multi party coalition type parties in the legislature. Germany, due to its higher exclusion requirement has fewer parties in its electoral system.

152 144 I think it's pretty clear now that the USSS isn't going to cooperate with congress. It's also pretty clear that congress isn't really interested in "getting to the bottom of this conspiracy" in any way.

If Harris had been the target of an assassination attempt shortly after becoming the Democrat's choice things would be dramatically different. This is the two tier justice system applied to the left vs. the right based solely on ideological differences.

And it's happening at the very top of the Democrat and Republican echelons of power. God help the rest of us if this continues.

163 Regarding the Trump assassination attempt: I wonder when the Kamala Harris and Jill Biden events were scheduled in Pennsylvania? I find it extremely odd that Kamala and Jill appeared on the day as Trump and so close to Trump and thinned out law enforcement so much.
I cannot believe that the shooter trained at the same site that the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies used and that they were completely unaware of him. In my opinion, there are just too many "coincidences" here for this just to be a shitty Secret Service.

173 I think at this point the "soft" version has been shown to be the best case scenario. The full conspiracy plot version is still possible, but unproven. I generally am not on board with grand conspiracy theories as I think most people are too stupid and/or arrogant to pull it off. However, the Russia hoax proved that you don't need a huge group within an institution to be knowingly in on it. A small group of bad actors with sufficient position and power who can play on the biases of their peers can do some really bad things. It will be difficult to rule this out here. If the SS was smart, they'd be doing everything they can to transparently show this did not happen. But instead it is CYA time, which looks like the workings of a guilty mind.

Your friend is wrong.

The kid (mentally, not in age since he was 20) was allowed to stash a gun. He was allowed to bring a range finder on site. He was allowed to roam the grounds. He was allowed to fly a drone over the grounds. He was allowed to get on the roof. He was allowed to take a spot, line up his shot and take it. No one did anything to stop him, period. This was a coordinated effort to allow him to murder the former President and current candidate for that job again.

Not necessarily. Assassination is very much on the minds of the rank and file Congress critter because of Scalise for example and now Trump. They do care about their own lives as miserable as they might be and GOP critters especially know they are in the crosshairs every day from some leftist nutjob and soft lefty protection that lets the nutjob take potshots at them.

Plus the connection between Hodgkin (congressional baseball shooter) and Dem Whip Senator Dirty Dick Durban has never really been explained. Now there is Biden calling for House Speaker Johnson's death.

223 My vote... there was no perspective of 'we told him not to run and he gets what he gets'. They are evil, but they're not totally stupid. They never entertained the notion that they could tell Trump what to do. They are just doing everything they can to keep him from gaining power / taking power from them. I'm not sure whether or not they decided arranging an assassination was a bridge too far (if you're a true believer of what they preach, which most of the decision-makers aren't and are just making cynically false plays for power, but if you do believe Trump is Hitler, isn't assassination justified?), but at a minimum they willfully created a situation where there was a reasonable (or far-better-than-average) chance he would be assassinated. And all of their consciences are clear on that. True believers feel Hitler should be killed. And the cynical Leftist ruling class believes losing power, particularly to Trump, will doom the world so it's fine if they don't do everything they can to protect him...

227 I no longer believe in the "soft conspiracy" since there hasn't been more than a handful of incidents stopped by the SS in the six or more years.

So, for a soft conspiracy they would have to do all the work to strip protection to the bone and *hope* that someone struck that day? They had time pressure if they wanted the hit before the RNC.

So I think at a minimum, the SS could "casually" do what they did for deniability, AND some other group steered the shooter to this one place where the SS had left a gap. That's a hard conspiracy with the SS having some deniability since the adding of 1 + 1 could be at a higher level. But this means that the SS needs to have informed someone higher up just what kind of screwup they had done so the shooter's team could plan for it.

And the stonewalling of the postmortem is proof of the intent to not protect Trump, plus the wiping of the record and concealing the key people involved.

All it took was a handful of not very bright people, not a large number, so long as the ground conditions were already favorable, which they were. Bear in mind it didn't fail due to bad planning--it's well established that if he hadn't chosen to turn to that chart at the moment he did, we'd be having VERY different discussions right now--the issue was the second and further order effects of simply succeeding, which likely gave everyone else pause.

233 Update: A friend says he's starting to believe in a "soft conspiracy" here. Which I take to mean a conspiracy that wasn't fully agreed to, formally, but was the product of a dozen decisions that...

I think the Dem party in general operates like this. Much harder to hold them accountable, as it's all unwritten, and still allows for rapid, and organic/grassroots-looking responses to situations.

After Biden's debate meltdown, they admitted as much. A few Dem leaders/mouthpieces voiced the obvious (Biden is way worse than public believed), and other sources took that as the "green light" for them to stop gaslighting and pile on.

Quickly thereafter, party officials got a few of those same mouthpieces (Murdering Joe) to pump the breaks, and the MSM suddenly started the "it was a cold, one bad night, Trump lied, etc" deflection.

248 As others have noted, It does not require the agents on the ground to be complicit. All they need is to put a yes man in charge that will follow whatever orders they're given, strip right function away... and someone else to go rile up a patsy. I've heard so many people say this can't be a conspiracy because the people in government that do conspiracies are so good at it.

And then point to Epstien as an example of "See they're good at it."

No. No they aren't. Everyone knew Epstien had been killed. Instantly.

Thats not good conspiracy.

Everyone knows the Clintons have had people killed. My favorite are the bullets to the back of heads ruled suicides...

Again - not a good conspiracy. Everyone knows what happened even if they can't prove it.

Well, I don't know who's hand pushed what - but from my view you need exactly 3 people (plus the shooter) to be in on the Trump 'conspiracy' to make it work.

Someone to prepare the patsy.
Someone high enough up in the DHS who can reroute resouces so Trump's protection relies on people not trained in the job.

I believe that they gave Trump the bottom of the barrel as far as protection as in " It would be a shame if anything happened to the R candidate and former President" but if it did happen, well, we were doing our jobs.

The always despicable Dan Goldman said in an interview last November “It is just unquestionable at this point that man cannot see public office again. He is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy, and he has to be eliminated,” the District 10 representative said.

There weren't 40 shooters trying at Trump daily that you could afford to let them bump into a lucky location. There was one, and he was reported and the SS did nothing up to 90 minutes before the shooting. And he noodled around like he *expected* he would have a free hand.

290 I no longer care whether it was weaponized incompetence or whether it was a planned conspiracy.

Apply RICO to the Democrat party as a whole and give the whole structure of it the death penalty. From widespread cheating at elections, taking in illegal foreign contributions, formenting electoral violence, conspiring to deprive constitutional rights aka right to arms, right to petition and the right to assemble, and so on.

Go after all their lawyers and break their lawyer client privilege as that has already been established by the Dems, etc.

Establish a new supermax to hold them and their minions like the Pres of El Salvador did.

That is about the only way I think we can avoid catastrophic violence and loss of life that a civil war brought on by Dem actions will bring in the future.

294 >>I thought there were limits beyond which they would not go. This is the United States of America, and we should still be able to assume that our leaders are not outright evil, or at least that they would recoil from anything this evil.

We are watching the leadership of the Democrat Party flood the country with millions of illegal aliens, some of whom are known terrorist and many who involved in human trafficking and drug smuggling bringing crime and death. We are hearing on an almost daily basis about people being killed by illegals and that doesn't even include the thousands that are dying of drugs brought in by the cartels.

They are happily abusing the people of this country for power. The biggest obstacle standing in their way right now is Trump and they can't beat him without some sort illegal activity outside the normal electoral process.

I have zero reason to believe they wouldn't at least make an assassination effort possible if they thought they could get away with it.

No. Its not. Its proof the system is broken, not that it was a good conspiracy.

There's a joke that wealth lasts 3 generations.

By the same token, competency appears to work similarly. We are roughly three generations from the JFK assassination and the Nixon Watergate scandal, probably 2 of the most well known 'Conspiracies' that really were conspiracies.

And the truth of those conspiracies has only really trickled out in the last 5-10 years. The majority believed the narrative.

The people in charge today are incapable of controlling the narrative to that level of effectiveness and aren't even *trying* at this point. They're leaning on the fact that they are in power to protect them from consequences and nothing more.

They openly gaslight when it is downright simple to cross check.

They're operating like they don't live in a 24/7 news cycle, and the internet isn't a thing.

364 >>> 163 Regarding the Trump assassination attempt: I wonder when the Kamala Harris and Jill Biden events were scheduled in Pennsylvania? I find it extremely odd that Kamala and Jill appeared on the day as Trump and so close to Trump and thinned out law enforcement so much.
I cannot believe that the shooter trained at the same site that the Secret Service and other law enforcement agencies used and that they were completely unaware of him. In my opinion, there are just too many "coincidences" here for this just to be a shitty Secret Service.

well the first shot at him (Crooks) was from a PA deputy, not the SS. it made him pause shooting but didn't blow his head off. according to PA cops, they were super surprised that SUDDENLY after they shot at him and he stopped/got startled, the SS decided to jump in and kill him immediately.

Posted by: mnw

That's a really great point of comparison. And it begs the question "Why? Why was THIS malfeasance better ... cloaked?" Kennedy asked for protection and was denied and the denial was publicized; Trump was assigned protection but it was quietly scaled back to the point of inadequacy?

448 well the first shot at him (Crooks) was from a PA deputy, not the SS. it made him pause shooting but didn't blow his head off. according to PA cops, they were super surprised that SUDDENLY after they shot at him and he stopped/got startled, the SS decided to jump in and kill him immediately.

There are three measured shots without an echo, one of which struck Trump in the head. Then the tranny joins in with his wild and panicked shots, and an odd round is fired at the end of his panicky bursts.

No one ever said that being a slave was a sin. That's ridiculous. But owning slaves? People are not "possessions."

And Lincoln's fist concern was keeping the Union together, not touching slavery. The Emancipation Proclamation was a tool to help him do that.

You really need to see a therapist about your obsessive Lincoln hate.

470 ???Why??? are we still pretending that actors within our government, whether "elected" representatives or members of the Military / Intelligence (CIA anyone) are not capable of consciously and willfully planning and attempting to kill Trump?

They have tried everything else, so why not this? They have crossed every rubicon, they have shredded the Constitution and the rule of law in their efforts to "Get Trump", without any concern for long-term destruction their actions have caused.

The CIA and other agencies within our fascist gestapo government have the power and capabilities to kill anyone they want, with impunity, and have done so repeatedly throughout our nation's history.

Trump (and the Americans who support him) are a singularity and an existential threat to the entire multi-trillion dollar Marxist global empire that has spread like cancer through every nation, corporation and body politic around the world since the early 1900's.

As Sundance would say, there are **TRILLIONS** at stake and global hegemony. Do you not think those who pull the puppet-strings would balk at doing whatever necessary to remove this threat to their power and dominion?

Cuz that would be hot.

524 But, you're OK with the lemon?
Posted by: Sponge

That's weird, too, but at least a lemon can't bite you, like an eel can.

525 Mike Lee of Utah questioned during a press conference on Tuesday why the Secret Service allowed

Everybody knows why. It's the 'who' that is so much more interesting. Why aren't you asking who?

Maybe eels like lemon.

530 It doesn't matter whether the Deep State intended to "deplatform" Trump or assassinate him. The results were the same. Heads must roll.

531 Any *one* failure can be ascribed to incompetence, but it beggars belief that all of these failures can occur in one short period of time.

533 88 In 1963 it was so much easier to create a cover narrative for a DS op against a president

And in 1963 the president rode in an open vehicle down the road on a preannounced route as normal. No need to come up with a reason why a shooter could be at an open window without being caught first.

535 I don't think it is at all a stretch of the imagination to think that the guy in charge of letting the country be invaded by 13,000,000 people in 3 years would be involved in trying to willfully get Trump assassinated.

537 So Crooks ran across the rooftop, in full view of Sniper Team 2 (who were the ones who eventually shot him). Then he stopped with his head (and presumably the rifle) exposed for how long? And they waited 15 seconds from the first shot to finally stop him? 😮
Not incompetence: planned.

I can't see anyone say "nyah" without thinking of how an acquaintance of mine had a nearsighted bald friend (who thankfully, I was NOT friends with) who would "Nyah" at the end of every sentence.

I didn't think so.

Josh Hawley knows and told Rowe that he knows, but Rowe wouldn't give up the name in the committee meeting. This is in regards to the USSS on site leader making the decisions, not the eel in the butt with lemon guy.

LOL this place

Posted by: m at July 31, 2024 03:59 PM (64Zez)

542 I totally believe your theory. It was the decisions of Mayorkas that enabled everyone on down the line, like Cheatle, to continue un-protecting Trump. Mayorkas is the chief evildoer and the master mind of the Bidenistas; he knows exactly how to prod the bureaucracy into doing his will.

And the video clip: it might be that it was shot with a lens that makes the roof look closer than it really is. But, anyone could and should have noticed something moving on that roof. Why they hell didn't they??

“I can't buy the Strong Form of this idea -- that they intended Trump to be killed. That's a big idea for a group of people to commit to.”



Just listen to the Commie cocksuckers. The average Donk has been talking about assassination and killing Republicans for years with NO restraint. Your leftist neighbors who seems like such nice people when they bring over the vegan oatmeal cookies are always talking about it. And when the balloon goes up, they'll take delight in cutting their MAGA neighbor's throat... if they think they can get away with it. I'm not just talking about the tranny crazies or the hippie crackheads, I'm talking about the lefty 6th grade teachers, dentists and real estate saleslady who live on your street. When they say they want you dead, believe them.

546 Muldoon for the Gold in the Moron Olympics!!

Posted by: Cheri at July 31, 2024 04:09 PM (oiNtH)

547 I completely agree with this post.

I have some progressive friends, and before the assassination attempt, they had a bit of the same attitude "Why does someone who tried to overthrow the government get secret service protection?"

These people haven't thought things through.

Thye also think that people at the Secret Service shouldn't be punished for failure...again that assumes that Trump is worth protecting. Since he isn't, how could they have failed?

I think the first successful wounding of a former president and current Republican nominee should automatically mean everyone in charge of the security should lose their jobs, immediately. All the way up to Mayrokis.

Posted by: El Mariachi at July 31, 2024 05:18 PM (mvURQ)

548 Let's not forget that the Democrats have spent all year trying to throw Trump in prison, and at the same time proposed legislation that would remove all his security if this happened.

This is obviously a murder attempt. No "we hope something bad" happens. It's like taking a cop's bulletproof vest away before sending him into a firefight.

550 In the Icelandic Sagas there's a story about a woman who was cheating on her husband and wanted him out of the way. So one night she nicked a few stitches on his scabbard. Next morning when he was getting strapped to go into town he handed her his rig to be repaired and left with a pair of axes in his belt, instead.
Of course his rival found him and being better armed slew him.

A cunning stunt for ...
