with the way this dood shoots, do you think he was being recruited by Self?

Yeah, I prefer my Bronny take but it was bad timing when I made it last night - not knowing others were shot and died.

The NOT funny thing about randyItoldyouso is that I am fully confident he doesn't trust our government and the FBI and CIA and yet when the FBI and other authorities had the presser last night he probably kept saying out loud - I told you so. Meaning, he believes what they were saying.

I have not read much about it this morning but last night I (and it seemed many media members) was very surprised a member of the Secret Service wasn't present to speak and answer questions.
I assume that helps/helped fuel randy's conspiracy theories.

you spelled “presidential” wrong

You misspelled “managed to fuck up everything to a remarkable level in three short years.” Yay, Brandon! You answered all the questions!

speaking in absolutes is the quickest way to prove you’re full of shit

no, not all that surprising

initially at least, he doesn’t sound like the liberal extremist the randy’s of the world were hoping for

At least we know that it wasn't staged. If it was, there is no way they wouldn't have had an illegal immigrant playing the role of the shooter.

twocoach is in rare form lately!

Pretending like the unmitigated disaster that has been the last 3-ish years is the quickest way to prove that you have lost touch with reality.

I've already seen a "it must have been Nick Timberlake shooting from distance" gif.

The secret service has a lot of questions to answer, and likely hadn't come up with the alibis, I mean, answers, yet.

It's impossible to have to be "right" 100% of the time when your adversaries only have to be "right" once, but for someone with an AR-15 to be able to take a position on the top of a building in such close proximity seems, in my uneducated opinion, to be a significant lapse on their part.

There just isn't an inexhaustible supply of Secret Service agents, or other federal resources (US Marshals, etc.), such that you can reasonably be expected to create a security environment around an ex-President, not-yet-nominee, that is as robust as what you do around the President.

I am reminded, also, of what we know about Trump's own feelings about the use of certain security protocols at his rallies.

nbc interviewed a former secret service agent last night, who indicated that the detail was about to be ramped up once he formally became the nominee

Exactly. Point being, I don’t think there is necessarily as much blame to be reasonably placed on the Secret Service as it might seem.

What a bizarre situation - it’s a race to competing investigatory conclusions, and all groups of stakeholders have different priorities.

I agree. There are a lot of "seems" we the citizens can assume - but we don't know for sure.
That was my biggest issue with randy last night.
Clearly there was a security breech. That is not questionable.
I'm hardly a security expert but I feel it "seems" somewhat safe to "assume" there are different levels of blame that could be put on all the law enforcement agencies that were present - but again, I don't know for sure - so I am not going to start assigning specific blame. I will assign questions.

jfish26 wrote: ↑Sun Jul 14, 2024 9:59 am The universe of plausibilities for how this happened is expansive. So too, then, is the range of answers to the question of what it’ll mean.

I do feel comfortable concluding right now that we are seeing an all-time misinformation play - with shared DNA with other misinformation plays - in the reaction to yesterday’s shooting. The notion that the democrats for the political temperature, generally, and that prosecuting Trump is what wrought this, specifically.

The Kremlin blames the Biden administration for "creating an atmosphere" that provoked the attack on Donald Trump.

"After many attempts to remove candidate Trump from the political arena [...] it was obvious his life was in danger," Dmitry Peskov, Putin's spokesman, says.
