US US Politics General - Discussion of President Biden and other politicians

Sorry, clock me if you must, but is there any confirmation on the "registered Republican" aspect of this? If the dude is really 20-21 years old, he could only have registered in the past 2-3 years, which would put a confusing spin on things.
It's not like he would have been around to vote for any other Republican in his life, why would he register as one, assuming he wasn't a fan of ol' Don, the most probable candidate for the party?

PA is a closed primary state, he likely registered and voted for Haley to try to snub Trump.

It was windy as fuck and I bet that soyboys blood was pumping faster than ever the combination of the wind and nerves likely is what saved trumps life not skygod

I'm an atheist and this is too /r/atheism for me.

Personally I'm going to stick to Hanlon's Razor for now but there needs to be some thorough (and transparent) investigation into what the fuck happened there.

Its 100% easy and clear:
You are government bureaucrat sitting in the air-conditioned party van trailer. You have gotten important enough to sit in the big boy chair during a political rally. You have a report from a sniper of a man with a gun getting into position on the roof. You have plainsclothes agents already moving in verify and deal with the threat. You also have no reports of dangerous political idealogues at the rally.

Do you:
A) approve the sniper to fire, which will not only result in the person being killed but also triggering the close-in protective detail to protectively tackle the candidate on stage and get them to the safe zone, ending the rally in a newscycle worthy event to which you will be very attached. Bear in mind the sniper may not be able to positively ID the person as having a weapon due to angle/distance.

B) Have the sniper hold fire so the person can be intercepted by the plainsclothes agents in a much more low key, the rally continues uninterrupted, and you don't have to wonder if the sniper mis-Identified a camera or toy as a gun.

Again, there is plenty of space for reasonable tinfoilery, but its also very understandable why the sniper would have held fire until he was 100% certain it was an active shooter. And its also easy to see how bad call at the top didn't have the guy preemptively ventilated, and why the person making that bad call wouldn't have thought it was a bad call at the time.

[Vindeo]

how the fuck does one of the most elite bodyguard forces of the most powerful nation on the planet be so incompetent not to have someone sitting this fucking vantage point thats literally 200 or so yards away?

surely to god the SS isnt that incompetent.

 

[IDanceonTrannyGraves]

If Trump delivers a good, focused speech at the convention on Monday, it really is in the bag for him. I can't wait for November.

 

[Swiss46]

To vote for a different nominee in the primary, It would fit with the desperate leftist trying to stop trump thread , Occam's Razor

He was the world's most committed Jeb Bush fan. Clapping when no one else would.

Only thing I have seen people use as evidence of him being right wing is him having a shirt from the guntuber Demoliton Ranch, so no real evidence.

I'm not an atheist I've just shot 5.56 at over 100 meters and it's not that easy when you add in wind variables and a person known for extravagant head movements.

 

[Larry Potterfield]

Lowkey reading some of the seething libs trying to be edgy on here is more funny than the schizopostong from twitter tards.

Shame they missed. Now things are gonna get even more stupid from both sides.

Lol shut up you selfdoxing tard.

I cannot stress enough that this kind of talk is only going to piss people off even more and disgust those still finding themselves in the center.

I don't know who is the strategist behind what these people say but someone needs to replace them with someone competent, yesterday. Inflammatory rhetoric like this is not what they, or anyone with an interest in political stability that'll last through to the election, wants right now.

 

[Lt. H. DuBois]

I am surprised this didn't happen at the prime of the Trump Derangement Syndrome. Twitter and Reddit brains were convinced that Trump will basically put them into death camps and whatnot.

Good morning fellas, I just woke up. How did the Trump Rally go last night?

Mostly peaceful, a little shooty?

How would they verify his DNA this quickly?

Four hours. That’s the current time for running the quickest profiles

At least two independent individuals in the crowd warned security that a sniper was climbing up the building, minutes before the shooting. The secret service did nothing about these warnings.

This is the point. No you can’t account for lone crazies but this guy climbed up on a roof with a rifle and was pointed out by the crowd. That’s the biggest wtf for me. There’s supposed to be a specific perimeter is t there?

My question would be why he didn't shoot until the assassain shot but.

Do they need to wait for authorisation? If so did he ask and who was on the other end of the line?

There is footage of the coppers showing up at his family home. They will have demanded swabs from the parents. They can run DNA very very quickly when necessary.

Yeah. Fours hours to run a profile and match it these days to decent specificity. Takes maybe an hour or two to get to their home, take swabs and get them and the samples from the body to the lab. 5-6 hours from event is fast, amazing what they can do these days

Spoiler: Text

Thank you to everyone for your thoughts and prayers yesterday, as it was God alone who prevented the unthinkable from happening. We will FEAR NOT, but instead remain resilient in our Faith and Defiant in the face of Wickedness. Our love goes out to the other victims and their families. We pray for the recovery of those who were wounded, and hold in our hearts the memory of the citizen who was so horribly killed. In this moment, it is more important than ever that we stand United, and show our True Character as Americans, remaining Strong and Determined, and not allowing Evil to Win. I truly love our Country, and love you all, and look forward to speaking to our Great Nation this week from Wisconsin.

Perfectly pitched. Love the nation, express sadness for those dead and injured.

If England win the cup tonight I might even have a drink

Registered in 21, probably to fuck with midterm caucusing, also there's a recorded donation to ActBlue which is Dem. There's AP etc level reporting of both those, so probably true

 

[Kane Lives]

it was pretty much pure luck that the bullet didnt hit trump, assuming that the CIA or whatever would have control over him slightly turning his head as a bullet is fired is retarded

Trump really did put 10 points into Luck. Prove me wrong.

I'm a registered Democrat, because I want to vote for the least insane Democrat to get the nomination (I typically end up voting for someone who gets ~3% of the Dem vote,) figuring that I can always vote for whichever weak dick candidate the Republicans put up after the wackaloon Dem candidate wins anyway. It's not unlikely that someone who would try to Kill Trump wouldn't also register as a Republican to vote against him in the primary.

If I'm a sniper on a roof charged with protecting the fucking President and I see a guy with a rifle aiming at him I'd dome the fucker I wouldn't wait for him to shoot first.
Theres video of the snipers behind Trump and people warning them and they react, they just didn't shoot until he already fired.
They fucking saw him take the shot and only responded afterwards.

Imagine how ashamed of your hypocrisy your family would be as they are being raped and murdered by those that hate you and want you dead.

Retard. What hypocrisy are you being a schizoid nigger about? Tell me. What's the hypocrisy I'm saying right now by saying that principles separate us from the common Glowie and the typical Antifa-waving leftist or MAGAbro?

Your article is shit, it ignores actual assassinations. Add 3 to that count, JFK, Lincoln and Cleveland.
