"Registered republican" just means you are signed up for that partys primary. It doesnt mean you voted Republican or Democrat in the actual election. If you are in a closed primary state and the other party announced no contest presidential primary it makes perfect sense to register in the primary you can actually vote in.

There was also an active effort to bring awareness to this by the democrats in swing states a few years back (archives and such posted by another user in this very thread). Registering (R) to fuck with Trump's chances is something a guy mental enough to try and dome a former president and engrossed enough in politics would do. I have never heard of losing a bet and having to donate to ActBlue. That is the cope excuse right now, because there is only one good reason for him to have made that donation otherwise.

It's pretty crazy to me that the paid shill posters on twitter like that faggy harry sisson kid were not given any instructions to just not post about this. The campaign clearly understood they can't try to spin this, they immediately pulled their ads off TV, but nobody thought to tell their paid army of retards that give constant awful takes that maybe they shouldn't be trying to come up with their own low quality spin on this one?

I'm not one to go off into conspiracies at the first chance but it does make you think. Why do they still not have anything but the barest info after all this time and since they probably are lying or stalling what they are doing with what they have found?

If there's no blatant social media presence to go off of (or at least, one that hasn't already been taken down), the only thing afterward that could be done would be a thorough examination of any devices he had and the internet activity therein. There are dime a dozen zoomers who've never even heard the term opsec, but the more terminally online among them might be far more wary of what they put out there.

In any case, it's an ongoing investigation; by nature I'd assume they would keep a lot of the shit they find classified until everything dies down. As for what will be deemed suitable for the public to know - it remains to be seen.

Rush Limbaugh actually started this back in 90's-00's to encourage Republicans to vote in Dem primaries. He called it Operation Chaos.

could be possible to stage something like this if Trump's injury were not actually inflicted by a bullet, but if they placed a tiny remote-controlled gunpowder charge (basically a party popper) under a bandage on his ear made to blend in with his skin using makeup.

Even a tiny charge going off by your ear would do real damage, it could even kill you. But it would likely blow out your eardrum and damage the ear badly. Also risks eye damage. The skull is also pretty thin around there, it’s just far far too risky to do that.

Maybe they matched the serial number on his rifle to its owner and tracked down his identity that way.

Good point, hadn’t thought of that.

As far as secret service response goes. It probably is an sop that they cant take a shot without explicit orders to do so from a "leader" until they see a sniper take a shot.

Remember we are post floyd era "leaders" for the feds and if you are on Trumps detail and dont follow sop they will fuck you. No way counter sniper will shoot a brown that might holding a telescope.

As far as staffing goes. Almost certainly undermanned. Remember Trump was supposed to have been sentenced already. The conspiracy here might not have been assasination attempt but that he would need house arrest or prison protection at this point. Not campaign protection.

I doubt he has CATs like the president does. Those are the secret service agents with the heavy machine guns, anti tank, and anti air weaponry, they are within 5 minute response range by van or helicopter and are all "ex" special forces.
