Assassination attempt on Trump (4 Viewers)

    It's ironic you bring that up because the left said Palin had blood on her hands for the crosshairs.
    Some people from the left, right, center, above and below said that Palin was responsible. Most of the people from the left, right, center, above and below said those people were out of line. Most of the people from the left, right, center, above and below said Palin wasn't responsible, but the way she spoke contributed to an environment that made the kind of thing that happened more likely to occur.

    The last part is simple truth, but you are correct it doesn't mean they directly have blood on their hands for the violence that someone else commits. It does mean they shouldn't be saying the things they say and that that are individually responsible for helping to create a environment in which violent things are more likely to happen.
     
    I'm gonna give you my conspiracy theory.

    There is no way someone should be able to get on a roof with a line of sight to a nominee.

    The SS was heavily invovled in the Trump coup. They even deleted their own text messages off their internal server to not be implicated.

    My theory is they gave Trump all his toadies for protection, and they suck at it.
    There were reports throughout Trump's term that Trump's personal security often got into territorial pissing matches with Trump's SS detail which caused security issues. That's while Trump was president. I imagine that Trump's personal security is creating even more problems for Trump's SS detail than before which lead to this massive oversight. No one should have had any opportunity to get on any roof within the range of any firearm to Trump.
     
    This is why Trump didn’t get hit with a bullet. His ear would be gone. It was a shard of glass from the teleprompter evidently. We got lucky as a nation today.

    That's the first video and the only one I will watch. I noticed that as security was trying to safely usher Trump off the stage, Trump resisted and pumped his fist to the audience and camera while shouting, "fight, fight, fight." Trump's going to use this to incite more violence, while pretending that he's not.

    As we get closer to the election, if Trump's internal data shows he has a decent chance of losing, the I have zero doubts he will try to incite violence to disrupt voting. That's how Trump rolls.
     
    Okay. But I still maintain that his ear would be far more damaged by a bullet. Maybe it was a bit of shrapnel if one of the bullets hit the metal riser or something. I’m sure we will hear about it eventually.
    A bullet may have just barely grazed Trump which have just scraped or nicked him. Whatever hit him seems to have been traveling in a more parallel path to Trump's head than an intersecting path, otherwise he would likely have been more seriously injured. If it was a bullet that grazed him, just a half inch to the side could have been fatal for Trump.
     
    Thank you for speaking for Hispanics. You're definitely in the know. :rolleyes:
    This Hispanic and my whole damn family would rather spend the rest of our lives stepping on legos made of glass shards than vote for that [Mod Edit.. triggering - offensive term for Trump].

    Wouldn’t he be receiving those chats based on algorithms that are fed information from Jordan’s own feed and search history?

    Isn’t that the allure and reason companies advertise on social media? They use your own data to get your eyeballs on products curated just for them?
    Twitter doesn't really work like that since Musk took over. That's one of the reasons people complain and leave. A lot of people get content far right content pushed to them even when everything in their history shows they are not interested in far right content.
     
    He should get it. He’s been getting denied for a year. Reports are Trump has been asking for additional SS and also getting denied.

    I love that we are already at it's a staffing issue caused by Joe Biden. Are there any reports that Trump had a smaller SS detail then Trump in 2016, or Biden in 2020?
     
    You haven’t kept up - border crossings are way down. And there won’t be any change in the WH next year. 🙂

    Employing Trump tactics in a desperate attempt to stop the bleeding in an election year. The democrats should’ve had a real primary. This country is not re-electing Biden.
     
    When Trump got COVID I thought that the experience may help him empathize with all those who were infected, all those who had died (many due to his own actions, inactions and attitudes) I thought there may have been a change after he recovered

    There wasn’t

    After coming literally inches from death, scratch that, inches from being murdered, and after literally being bloodied will there be any change? Any reflection?

    I think there will be and I don’t think it will be for the better

    I fully expect him to double down

    If he wanted revenge and retribution before, just wait until the next time he’s in front of a microphone
    He struggled against the security team trying to usher him safety, so he could fist pump and shout "fight, fight, fight" to the audience and the cameras. He's already made his choice clear. He's going for violence and made up vengeance.

    I don’t know but this former SS agent thinks more was required and he’ll get it now.


    “Do I think the Secret Service will change,” Caltabiano asked. “Absolutely, immediately. I think that there is going to be added resources to [former] President Trump and I think the question is why weren’t they there before.”

    That doesn't answer the question at all. In fact, it seems purposefully vague.
     
    We’ll find out pretty soon. But usually they aren’t.
    The guns are almost always legally obtained and owned. Usually, the murderer was a law abiding person up to the point they committed the murder. In the rare instances the murderer was a known law breaker, they were still legally owned the murder weapon they used. Why do we allow people we know aren't law abiding to legally own firearms? Because the Supreme Court and Republicans let them legally own guns, that's why.

    Post credible reports with credible named sources that show Trump was given less security than per-established guidelines say he should or this is just bullshirt rumor and conspiracy mongering.

    FYI: FBI did officially identify Crooks as the shooter.

    He is a registered Republican.

    I'm sure we will learn more about him, and his motivations in the coming days.

    I personally don't even care if they requested. Hypothetically, Trump in 2016 had 50 SS agents as a detail, and so did Biden in 2020. If Trump in 2024 also had 50. It's a non-story.
