I thought so too. Someone else said it was fake? But I mean if it’s real it’s a heck of a picture. I tried to get my shitty neighbors firework show on the 4th with my phone camera and all pics looked awful, but they have better cameras than me. 

IT'S FAKE IT'S NOT EVEN THE RIGHT EAR. PLEASE STOP PUSHING FAKE NEWS.

I’d never shot a firearm of any kind before and I hit a deer through the throat at 150 yards with a bolt action rifle. It’s point and click at that range. 

Trump probably a bigger target too.

It would be somewhat more understandable if the shots had been taken from 500-1000 yards, actual sniper distances.  SS might be excused for not securing a perimeter that far out.

But 150 yards, on a building that is one of a half dozen surrounding the site, is grotesque negligence.

SS shit the bed on this one by all appearances.

Yeah this is an EXTREME L for the Secret Service. Incredibly bad look.

Well yes. How confident would you feel about your detail now if you were Biden, Harris or Trump? I mean with Reagan it was like holy fuck how did he get that close? With this it would seem like that they would have had SS on that rooftop if so close?

Yeah, whomever is running the SS has to go.  How do you not clear a building/have a guy stationed there when it's that close to the event?  Especially considering it's like the only building around.  

Of course, the SS been fucked up for a long time.  Back in Obama's day they were hiring prostitutes and shit.  


they’re great and deleting text messages 

his security doesn’t get bumped up he officially gets the nomination ?

Were you this emotional when the insurrection was happening? Did you care about details then?

The insurrection where trump specifically told people to remain peaceful in Twitter, but that message was removed within 10 minutes of him posting it and where there is video of police letting people into the building? Yes, they was a "violent insurrection", but the George Floyd riots were "mostly peaceful".

Yeah. This is going to change things. He just won this election. 

If the election were next week, maybe. 4.5 months from now, you cannot say that. He'll get a bump for sure but then he'll be himself again.

I wasn’t trying to do that. Some people are pushing it was teleprompter glass that hit him. We don’t know if that’s true either. We don’t know much of anything other than three other attendees were hit.

not trying to push a fake picture. Just saying if it was real it was an amazing picture.

Biden’s only prayer was low turnout election, because that suppresses uneducated vote disproportionately.  That’s gone now.

Agreed. I don’t want to be a part of that. Sorry. Not trying to upset or anger anyone. My bad. Just really confused how counter snipers wouldn’t see dude crawling up that kinda yellowish building. Or up on that roof? It’s weird. I know failures happen but we haven’t had failures like that since the 1980’s here right? I can’t remember one.

You're absolutely right.

The buzz is about Trump right now, but this is an almost unthinkable L for the Secret Service. Heads are going to roll.

Don't think there's any significant electoral impact of this.  Everyone saying "I know who I'm voting for now!" already knew and are probably the most ardent of his supporters.

What if it causes Biden to tone down his rhetoric? Last night was really good for Biden , what if he goes back to just talking about his first term accomplishments? Or will Biden only pause the rhetoric temporarily?

Too bad he didn't die. Assassination survivors generally do pretty well in elections.

You fucking sicko. Admit it, you weren't outside. You were in the basement of a pizza place, weren't you?

 So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” Biden said.

 

Sure.  5 days ago.

It's not like Biden was putting out commercials to assasinate Trump. Just because someone tried to take him out doesn't make him any less of a threat to the country. I'd stay the course.

We are in uncharted territory now. I mean it is odd how it does kind of mirror 1968 in some ways. Obviously apples and oranges, but LBJ steps aside. A few months later we have MLK and RFK assassinated. The political climate then was at 11 as well, plus war abroad. But many of our troops getting killed. It was a scary time. I’m not trying necessarily to equate the two but there are similarities. I wasn’t alive back then but I’m sure a few surly posters were. That can speak to the climate back then.

Don’t do that. It was silly to blame Palin for Gabby Giffords with that map picture. Unless you are trolling, in which case, carry on.
