Bull. shite.

ETA: That's just an attempt to minimize the fact that they refused requests for more protection from Trump's people.

ETAA: These people are already on record with two other "excuses" that contradict this report:
1. Trump's relentless campaigning had worn them all down to a nub, forcing quite a few regulars to be unavailable and/or compromised due to being overworked and tired.
2. The first lady also had an event in OH that day and she got the "better" team, leading to a smaller, lesser team for Trump's rally.

These are things they've already said.

Probably, why?

Cartilage does not "heal" in that way. He'll have a chunk missing the rest of his life... so when he shows up without the bandage and there's a hole, does this mean he had a piece surgically removed?
You tell me. You seem to know more about it than I do.

As I understand it, that building was outside the USSS perimeter of direct control and was supposed to have been secured by local LEOs. Even if true, seems odd that a USSS supervisor didn't check to make sure the locals were doing the job.

Yes, but that doesn't account for the females running into each other in a panic.

Everything I've ever heard is that USSS has absolute control and wields it without reservation. They dictate not only to local LEOs (whether with legal authority or simply in practice) but to other federal agencies involved in these visits.

The finger pointing about a massive building 140 yards away is just insane, and the local LE is pushing back on it. I understand that USSS uses local assets, they have to, but they're not deferential to local law enforcement. The idea that they go "this is your area, handle however you want" is just so utterly insane as to be an insult to Americans.

Could be something but could also just be regular electronics.

If you buy something off amazon that has a lithium battery there will be a big warning sticker on the shipping box about hazardous/explosive/flammable materials inside.

Just ask Evander Holyfield.

I'm sure if you were concerned about it, plastic surgery could fix it, but knowing Trump's personality, I'm pretty certain he'll keep the scar.

Don't forget the ever popular "Just follow the money" statement. Followed by the "Do your own research" comment.

I'm not buying any of his arguments, but the evasive non-answers do drive crazy. He's got to be a troll, because nobody can be this stupid and/or obtuse.

The internally secured and too steep roof over looking the stage…

Throw in the tree coverage and likelihood it wasn’t extremely difficult to find a way up to roof, and you don’t need to be ramped up to know someone has to be there.

If there is a pecking order I would place a campaign event of a former President and the current challenger to the President above the First Lady’s campaign event. Even though she is making some of the decisions she is not the elected official nor is she the person actually running for office in this election (she needs security but not taking security from the actual candidate & former President). She could have moved her event, taken Hunter’s security while he is doing hookers & blow, or had the event when Biden sleeping and not traveling to use some of his security detail not in use when staying put. He seems to sleep a lot so that leaves open a big window to have an event.

Is Crooks out of frame? I’m curious why he isn’t visible from the picture.

Probably, but even if it isn't, the angle of the "bullet" in the photo would already be past his ear. Even if it was a bullet, it's not the one that supposedly hit his ear.


I know I'm talking to a wall, but do you know that the muzzle velocity of a .223 round (as currently assumed) is in the neighborhood of ~3100/3200 fps?

I'm not even sure if that's a real/undoubtedly no BS pic. What speed film was in that camera?Ask the questions!?! Twenty(+) years of war in Afghanistan (and less in Iraq) and I don't remember seeing a single (non-tracer round) in flight.

But all of that aside, you're a fricking retard.

I just finished reading an article about that pic's photographer, Doug Mills. Camera technology is insane these days.

quote:

Mills was using a camera that shoots 30 frames per second with a shutter speed of 1/8,000th of a second, described as “extremely fast by industry standards.”
