Guys! Guys! I figured out the VP pick!

He confirmed today there’s a chunk out of his ear. I think the little fella deserves a chance.

This is probably the strangest political happening of my lifetime. And I’m old.

I have soooo many questions. The shooter was a long-haired 20-year-old noodle-armed nobody with zero social media presence who lived with his parents. Oh-kay. How did he know the layout of the site, 100 miles away? How did he know there wouldn’t be law enforcement on the roof? (There should have been!). How did he carry a ladder? Was it already there?

Why wasn’t there a presence on the roof? Why didn’t the snipers spot him? How could people on the ground see him and yell about a man with a gun on the roof for five minutes without getting a reaction? What about the cop who went up the ladder, got the rifle pointed at him, and went down again? Why didn’t he duck and draw his weapon?

At the very least, someone deliberately or carelessly assigned the most incompetent possible team to the detail. Did you see that woman trying to protect Trump from the front? She came up to his collarbone. They’re supposed to shield him 100% with their bodies and that just wasn’t physically possible.

How about all those Secret Service chicks surrounding him at the car? Bunch of chubby soccer moms with ponytails. That one poor woman who couldn’t holster her sidearm – I feel bad for the flak she’s taking, but come on.

Biden’s agents look like proper sides of beef.

Well, I guess the good news is, the people responsible for this are in charge of the investigation.

SS has a goal of 30% wymyn for recruitment, which is looking even less great now.

Dang those interns in the Cincinnatti Secret Service office!

Quit wondering about the convenient coincidences of ladders behind bushes, knowledge of site layouts, failure to sweep obvious overlooking perches within range of every big bore rifle zeroed for hunting at 100 to 150 yards.

Or that the dweeb was in a Black Rock commercial….

Otherwise you start wondering how he knew the right height ladder, and brought it, and lugged it, and his boom stick, to a concealed culdesac, on a building complex overlooking the stage, within easy rifle range, that wasn’t occupied by security.

And skipping the notion he was seen, and a cop, at a campaign speech, saw he had a gun, and backed off because he got a gun pointed at him.

The coincidence universe in regards to removing Donald Trump as a contender in the 2024 election is indeed vast.

Almost as good as the string of coincidental failures that allowed Jeffery Epstein to commit suicide in prison.

Now they’ll tell us it was the Russians.

The shot was fired as Trump turned to his right to look at the screen.

I’m not a religious weasel, but…wow.

Hee hee hee. A more cynical Pupster would rant and rave. Your lovable fuzzy cuddly pupster wants that jumbotron nominated to be the UN Ambassador.

And how did they ID him from a DNA match? Why was his DNA in a database if he had no previous run-ins with Law Enforcement (that’s CODIS)? Or did he have to provide it for a job and it wound up in some national database accessible by Law Enforcement?
Besides the on-site folks, did anyone call 911?

@OldFert — Elsewhere I read that they did the initial tracking based on the rifle; they found the purchaser was the killer kid’s father. That seems a bit odd since any fed gun registration data is prohibited by law, and for the feds to violate the law is simply unthinkable. I mean, everything would simply descend into chaos and anarchy otherwise.

Oh. Wait.

@stoaty — Your idea of a Trump/Ear ticket is tacky and bizarre AND I LOVE IT!

I admit I was wondering yesterday what might have happened to that little bit of ear, if it was even big enough to be recognizable. Someone assuming the role hagiographer/disciple could even turn it into a relic worthy of pilgrimages. I guess that idea’s a bit tacky and bizarre, too, yes?

Orange tom cat gets ear slice, news at 11:00.
That’s my boy….

I was surprised they didn’t post a CNN headline:
“Trump participates in mass shooting at Pennsylvania rally.”

Sweas, it is worse than you have heard

First, let me note that I spent 28 years as a Peace Officer, and yes I have done a couple of protection assignments. Without overloading you:

1) The secure zone viewed from above had a large wedge in it that meant that the building Crooks used was both above the event site, had a clear shot, and was not secured.

2) A half hour before the shooting Crooks was not only seen on the roof with his rifle, a picture was taken of him proned out on the roof holding the rifle in firing position. This picture was forwarded up the chain of command . . . and nothing was done.

This has since been picked up by more mainstream news sites.

The American government is consistent in only one thing, lying to the American people. The investigations will be bogus.

This goes beyond incompetence, and I rather expect that there will be more attempts by the American Left. I also rather expect that if they succeed, that the Second American Civil War will begin soon thereafter.

“That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there’s a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn’t want to put somebody up on a sloped roof,” Says Secret Service (Misinformation) Director Kimberly Cheatle.

She means, of course, almost exactly like the building the Secret Service snipers shot back from…

She lies as effectively, and brazenly, as Garland and Wray.

“Never put down to conspiracy what can be explained by incompetence”l

But this is pushing it a bit ….

I would like to know the name of the Cop who had the gun pointed at him and apparently told no one.

He has some explaining to do. I don’t think he should keep his badge
