No arguments there. That features in every decision they take.
People acts strangely in those kinds of situation. It was probably easier for the secret service to give him his shoes and then move him. Rather than drag a six foot plus, two hundred and something pound man who is looking for his Italian shoes the entire time.
You would want to ask all the Biden fan boys and the Trump haters on here pal
The printing press ended up being a generally good thing for society, but it led to a lot of spilt blood and burned witches along the way.
Rees Moog snr book the Sovereign Individual predicted a lot of this; and if he was right it's going to get worse.
For a lot of humans there is an allure to a conspiracy theories; they seem hardwired to want them to be true.
…and add in the fact of narcissism…….
You can say a lot of things about Trump, but he knows show business.
He remembered what he was told to do, drop. At no point would he have been told by the Secret Service to look for his shoes and get a photo OP.
Like every other protectee in that situation he should have been dragged to the car without delay.
Remember he ain't the president.
Again maybe unconscious bias from the secret service.
I don't care for the man but his conduct wasn't too bad, all things considered. Imagine one's brain isn't the most rationale during an assassination attempt.
Huh?
People are getting confused between bullseye and cross hairs. They are drastically different things.
What Biden meant was for democrats to stop being divided and focus on Trump.
Make him the bullseye, i.e. the main target.
Oh ffs. How did you end up believing this? I mean, it's aimed at the lowest of low information Americans? How does someone in Ireland end up hooked on it?
what would a retired guard know about American society especially shooters?
A registered republican tried to shoot Trump with an military grade weapon (which I guess is an improvement on him shooting up a school)
Don’t let the irony pass you by mate
Wow you really are unhinged like a lot of others on here.
Democrats and their high profile supporters calling for months and longer for Trump to be taken out even Biden saying to put Trump in a bullseye last week and there will always be some lunatic who will us that to take a shot at President Trump
0.1/10 ….must try harder
Trump delaying his exit to get his photo OP and put everyone's life in danger is peak Trump. He really is an unlikeable individual on every level.
Could help explain how a 100 pound poindexter got to take pot shots at him from 400 feet.
Unconscious Bias from the Secret Service.
No doubt his security will be beefed up,and when he's elected president in November nobody will get near him.
Does that mean every person born in American hospital is on DNA database. I
as illustrated by people buying Trump bibles, Trump sneakers and Trump NFTs and sending money and voting for an actual convicted rapist and criminal who attempted to destroy the republic while flying republican banner
I suspect if he sold bottled farts in a bottle with upside down US flag there be a ready market for it
When you have 330 million people the left side of that IQ curve is rather long and open for exploitation by the other side
What continues to amaze me, though it really shouldn't by now, is what the interwebs has engendered and revealed about the general psychology of the Common (Wo)Man©.
We used to think that if we could somehow get all the information and human knowledge in the hands of people the world would be better, people would be better and ignorance would find hard ground to grow on. Yet here we are and how wrong we were. We missed the fact that the IQ bell curve has two sides and one side is a bit thick, doesn't realise it's a bit thick and that side is ripe for exploitation by some on the other side for their own ends.
Within moments of events like this kicking off the conspiracy nuts are out in force and feelings, factions and already made up mindsets are way ahead of boring stuff like measured considerations and facts. I know it's been said many times, but with every passing day the Idiocracy flic looks more and more like a documentary. And a warning.
@Manic Moran called them USSS earlier and somehow it morphed into SS over pages
Anyways somewhere out there is an alternate universe where Trumps brain was blown, Republicans made a martyr of him and whitewashed all his sins (rape, criminality, insurrection, stupidity, lying) and there’s a new candidate and vp and Biden as sure as hell lost
But then the imbecile turned his head and now they have to send another angry republican to aim better
I loved this excuse from Republican Congressman Glenn Grothman. Once you joke about attempted murder being the it's fine.
Pushed on Trump using similar rhetoric - for example surrounding the attack against former Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi's husband in 2022 - Grothman says that there is no comparing what Trump sometimes says, which he claims is mostly meant humorously, and the demonisation he faces.
He might have been a bit more accurate using a bolt action rifle, sure wasn't it an Italian Carcano M91 that Killed Kennedy, not an Ar-15.
Given it’s Trump, it seems apt.
Seems to be what "De kidz" do these days, boils my piss.
a very experienced retired guard said to me yesterday that this is only starting -
The shooting will inspire copy cat acts - Ppl will be taking potshots at trump from now until Election Day.
Another AR-15 used in a serious, notable crime. Yep, everyone in the US should have them. It might have been the shooter's father provided the gun - shades of Kyle Rittenhouse.
Desperate, desperate stuff. So you are saying that despite a jury of 9 people taking 3 hours to find that he raped E Jean Carroll that she made it up based on a TV show? Surely Tiny's cult should have found something on one of the 9 jurors by now because what you describe is a massive conspiracy that could never be kept quiet.
Or, let's use the facts. He's a rapist. You're shilling for a rapist. You support a rapist.
You forget (or ignore) that never before has more of a Presidents thoughts and words and actions been visible so clearly to so many people. Trump himself wanted it this way. Pushing himself to the podium throughout Covid (and focusing on TV ratings), broadcasting his every thought on Twitter for years (Covfefe). His words and actions particularly on Jan 6th were broadcast live, his actions including the call that led to his 1st impeachment and particularly the call with Brad Raffenberger trying to steal the Georgia election were recorded and the latter was again broadcast publicly. So too were recordings of him sharing classified information and of course the infamous 'grab them by the pussy' statement.
I haven't watched a single CNN program since at least 2020 and then it was only to see his Covid press conferences which I watched with my jaw dropped. Before that, I watched much more Fox News than I did CNN as I wanted to see directly what narrative was being pushed there. I've never been a big watcher of 'Leftist media'.
It's astonishing to see people to go to bat for Trump over his history of sexual assault given what so many corroborating witnesses, and he himself has said. He was a big player on the Epstein files as well, and yet, here you are blaming the 'Leftist media' like we don't have as many brain cells as eyes in our heads and can't form our own opinions given all the evidence he himself has given us.
In the first instance you dont know what the motivations were. They may be apolitical like Reagans assassin.
In the second instance, the right and Trump have peddled hate against Democrats. So by the standard you have set, are they culpable in the attacks on the Pelosis and the Capitol? And we wont find any posts from you condemning them for that will we?
In the third instance there are boxes and boxes of evidence against Trump across the many cases against him. And witness testimony counts as evidence.
This is just axe grinding v the left therefore, demonstrating your bias.
That is a picture that will not only win him the election. It will be historic. Ironically for the shooter, he has planted Trump in the whitehouse.
Are people really using 'SS' as shorthand for the Secret Service?
