Where does it say that he had fake VIP passes and that he said he wanted to kill the President?
(*) Here, this article explains a bit more. It does mention the passes and the alleged intent. (Link)
A third assassination attempt against former President Donald Trump was thwarted on Saturday after a Las Vegas man was arrested with weapons and fake passes about a half mile from Trump’s campaign rally in Coachella Valley, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said Sunday.
Deputies assigned to Trump’s rally said the driver, Vem Miller, rolled up in a black SUV to a checkpoint at the intersection of Avenue 52 and Celebration Drive around 5 p.m. He was found to be in illegal possession of a shotgun, loaded handgun, and a high-capacity magazine, the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department said in a news release.
Bianco told the Southern California News Group on Sunday that he believes Miller — who he said is a member of a right–leaning anti-government group — planned to kill Trump and that deputies thwarted the plan when Miller presented fake VIP and press passes at a checkpoint.
“They were different enough to cause the deputies alarm,” Bianco said. “We probably stopped another assassination attempt.”
Miller is a registered Republican who holds a master’s degree from UCLA, and who ran for state assembly in Nevada in 2022.
Bianco said Miller considers himself a so-called sovereign citizen, a group of people who do not believe they are subject to any government statutes unless they consent to them.
The Sheriff’s Department set up what Bianco called a double perimeter that controlled access within a half mile of the rally. Residents were allowed through, but they were watched to make sure they drove to their neighborhoods and not toward the rally.
Miller was caught at one of those checkpoints.
Bianco said that the last he heard, Miller had not made any statements to investigators.
The sheriff said he is in disbelief.
“I thought it’s not going to happen in Riverside County. We don’t have the same sicko issues and violent protests like they have in Los Angeles. We’re better than that. Go figure.”
Bianco said U.S. Secret Service officials said his department went “above and beyond” in their efforts to protect Trump and others who attended the rally.
“I am extremely proud of the mental and physical effort our deputies showed all day,” said Bianco, who noted high temperatures in the desert area were near 100 degrees.
Bianco also said the FBI is questioning another man after bomb-detecting dogs “repeatedly” identified him as possibly dangerous. That man was not allowed in the rally, Bianco said.
Miller was booked at the John J. Benoit Detention Center for possessing a loaded firearm and high-capacity magazine, authorities said.
He was released Saturday on $5,000 bail and is scheduled to appear at the Indio Larson Justice Center on Jan. 2, 2025, according to the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department inmate database.
The Secret Service put out a brief statement saying it was aware of the arrest. “The incident did not impact protective operations. The Secret Service extends its gratitude to the deputies and local partners who assisted in safeguarding last night’s events,” the agency said.
In September, 58-year-old Ryan Wesley Routh was charged with attempting to assassinate Trump as the former president played golf. U.S. Secret Service agents found Routh with a high-powered rifle on Sept. 15 outside Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach. Agents spotted the barrel of his weapon in the bushes and fired at him before he fled.
On July 13, 2024, at a rally near Butler, Pennsylvania, Matthew Crooks shot at Trump with an AR-15–style rifle from a nearby rooftop as Trump gave a campaign speech. Crooks hit Trump’s ear with a shot and killed one attendee while critically injuring two others before Crooks was killed by Secret Service counter-sniper agents.

So, apparently at 4 PM (no time zone given) there's going to be drops of evidence of Tim Walz having sexual misconduct with a minor. How much of a happening do you think this'll be?

Just a reminder for every Republican who thinks of crossing over to the Democrats, they will never forgive you for going against them. They may hide their resentment towards you, but they'll readily bring it back the second you step out of line with them.
Hello, fellow patriot. I have secret information that there's a plot against Donald Trump. Here's a fake press pass, I need you to show up to his rally in California.

He either was some guy who thought he had rights in the People's Republic of California and had zero intention of harming anyone, he's a glowie patsy, there's another Vem Miller, or the media got the name wrong.

No October surprises please. I'm not even a Trump guy, and I still don't want to see or hear anything more happen to the guy.

I used to think that Trump made a huge, unforced error by feuding with McCain. In fact, Trump's denigrating comments about McCain's military service go all the way back to 2000 (archive). Trump got a pass on this for years and no one brought it up until Trump himself did it again in 2015, which is what started the current Trump-McCain storyline. Famously, one of McCain's last public acts as a living person was to fuck Trump on his healthcare bill.
Now, seeing how Meghan McCain is causing infighting with the Democrats through her Heather behaviour driven by her desire to get invited to Hollywood parties, I cannot help but feel as though Trump ripped a bandage off early. What a fucking turn of events this is. It's like watching the 1996 Bash at the Beach.

He literally described China with the second option. They want a one party state where China and the CCP rules over all. Where loyalty to the party trumps any obligation to humanity as a whole. I mean, its the same with the WEF. They promise the first option but you end up with the second one.

Faggot didn’t answer the question because deep down he knows the answer is “not them.”
