That’s surprising given Morning Joe is probably their most popular show, isn’t it?

I don't think you guys understand how quick this stuff all happened. I think you all need to come to terms with the fact that this is, and was the best security you can have on the planet and this is still the best result you can hope for. That's just how security works. The only question that deserves to be asked is how this faggot got up there in the first place and that question reeks of Fed Ops. As for "why didn't they take out the shooter sooner or why did they wait until he fired" is all gay conjecture from people who have never been in a situation like this. These things happen FAST and it's easy to forget exactly how fast post-hoc.

Finally a good post. So many armchair marines who’ve never fired a rifle at a range let alone in combat in this thread.

Most people don't know about closed and open primaries because they don't vote in them and they have short term memory. My gf and her friends didn't know PA's was closed and entirely forgot the plan about voting in Haley despite them talking about it earlier this year.

A lot of people don't understand how this goes. Let me elaborate for you. You're a kid in college, you don't pay attention to politics. You see a voter registration table, maybe with cookies or something and you want a cookie. The people there tell you need to register to vote, and they say they don't know which party they support. The kid at the table says

"Well which one do you hate more? We live in a closed primary state, so you can sign up for the opposite one you don't like, vote in their primary and screw over their candidates, so you don't have to choose between Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich".

And they nod and say okay. They do it, take their cookie, and leave. They never vote in any primary and don't remember they even did it for years later. It's legitimately that easy to get people to do this.

While the MAL case is dismissed, the way Cannon ruled means the DC case should also be dismissed, because Fag Smith wasn't appropriately appointed to that either.

Can anyone tl;dr the "appropriate appointed" thing to me? Did they not file the proper paperwork to get Smith involved?

Edit: Holy shit, Garland screwed the pooch? That's what this is about? Congress has to appoint one, and Garland was like "nah fam, I'll get that orange fuck, I have just the jewish faggot attorney to do it" -- and with Chevron being dead, Garland can't do that anymore?

Hilarious.

When I originally registered a long time ago I didn't want any part affiliation so my dumb ass checked the box next to Independent not realizing that was an actual party full of certifiable loons. I wonder how many others make the same mistake and artificially inflate their membership numbers.

For some reason I had it my mind that SS agents had to be 5'11" or below in order to do protective details (to easily jump in/out of vehicles) so I went to their web site to double-check and was greated with more Grrrl Powah!

That girl is what, about 85lbs? Also I don't see a max height requirement, I'm not sure why I thought that.

They may have physical preferences for particular duties, but there's plenty of work outside of the immediate protection detail for the SS agents. For every suit and gun you see in the motorcade or the immediate protection detail, there's probably three times that involved in the op between a response team, local liason, area security etc. And that's not even including the non-security duties of the Secret Service.

"Heh, I wish my political enemies should be killed because they're literally fascist Hitlers"
"NO PLEASE DON'T KILL ME BECAUSE YOU DISAGREE WITH ME! POLITICAL VIOLCENCE IS WRONG! NOOOOOOOOOO"

These absolute fucking mongoloids don't understand that once you open the pandora's box of political violence, it doesn't end with just politicians getting blasted. Jack Black would absolutely shit his pants and cry if he was shot by some crazed lunatic with a gun. He doesn't have even one iota of the will Trump displayed to keep fighting.

He just registered in the Republican party to vote in the Primary to try and get them to pick Nikki Haley because Leftists thought that was a good strategy. You put that in and it makes perfect sense.

That is a very likely explanation but he is rather young to understand how that works.

a little while back, the supreme court reversed a ruling from the 80s, Chevron vs NRDC, which they argued when the case was settled, if congress should pass a law that is too vague for something that a court needs to rule on, they should take the word of the executive agency that is responsible for making sure the law is enforced.

for instance, if a law regarding immigration is vague, judges are to ask the department of homeland security how they should understand it. if a law regarding environmental regulation is vague, judges should ask the EPA how to interpret laws. this, in turn, gave unelected bureaucrats the same or more power than lawmaking elected officials.

the prosecutor, Jack Smith, was put in place by the head of the department of justice, attorney general merrick garland, instead of by a congressional appointment, which is how the constitution suggests these things ought to be done; by the legislative branch, not the judicial branch. i'm pretty sure (i am no constitutional scholar, so take it with a grain or two of salt) that the reason for this is it ensures that the judiciary who is put in charge of prosecuting the case isn't chosen by the political party that is in control of the presidency, since the president has so much power to check the judicial branch.

And you still think leftoids are motivated by things or concepts other than power and means to get it. Sorry, mate, but that's hilariously naive.
Click to expand...
Many of them are motivated by the absolute, unshakable belief that they know what's best, that's why they deserve power. I just find it strange they can't admit they would do these things when in like-minded company if given the chance because they are so devoted to their cause. It shouldn't be a controversial take for them, because it is just a means of gathering power. I think most of them sincerely believe they have the one right way, that they are beyond fallibility and have a "divine" right to rule over everyone else with their absolute truth. Some might be psychopaths just using the talking points to secure power, but zealotry accounts for the bulk. Zealotry has been a powerful motivator throughout human history.

However, they are still arguably human and could experience self-reflection. Like the meme, one could have an original thought for a moment and realize they might be the baddies and perhaps should chill out, just a touch. At this point the individual would be ostracized from the group and cease to be a Leftoid, whether they want to self-identify with their former tribe or not.

Hey, you Secret Service guys might wanna take some precautions before another Kennedy gets shot. Just saying.

The parallels are horrifying, especially when you consider how America was collectively traumatized watching JFK’s head explode on live TV where millions were tuning in.

This greasy fuck wanted to JFK everyone, he wanted Trump’s head to explode in 4k to the millions watching.

Praying for President Trump and his family and our nation, have been all weekend.

He’s already proven he’s a capable and strong leader, his speech on Thursday being focused on unity is exactly what the nation needs right now.
