I'm not looking forward to the Superbowl. This would be the time for glowies to start some dumb shit like a suicide bomb. Hope Vance isn't there.
Yeah. I feel legit bad for the people who have to do security there, the NO cops and LA State Police, private security hired by the Superfome and NFL.
They were already having to plan against an event being a huge target for terrorism, in a city hit by a terrorist attack a month ago. Then 5 days before they get it dropped into their laps that the ultimate security situation is coming, a Presidential visit, and they have to coordinate with the Secret Service. Thousand upon thousands of fans and workers were already having to be security screened and it just got 10x worse.
If something was going to happen, it would be the perfect and most visual place to do it. It would put a stop to Trump’s agenda, or at least severely curtail it. He's been reforming shit faster than Julius Caesar or Julian the Apostate (who wasn't murdered but still flipped a lot of stuff which was quickly reflipped back when he died).
I worry less about Islamists or disgruntled lefties than I do the MIC. Trump has announced Elon is coming for the Pentagon and DOD next, and he's going to release the JFK files.
I'm a firm believer the MIC, including the CIA, had JFK killed because he was, in their minds, too soft on Commies and wanted to pull out of, not escalate, Vietnam. That threatened the Forever War gravy train. They teamed up again to take out Nixon, because he was talking pulling out of 'Nam, and was negotiating with Khruschev and opening up communication with China. They ginned up the GWoT to keep the defense contractors spooled up.
They will not go quietly, nor do they want their past misdeeds exposed. It would be all too easy to blow up the Superdome, blame Iran, and get Vance to toe the line and drop DOGE and commit to "vengeance" against Iran and restart shit in the Middle East while simultaneously opening fronts in Ukraine and starting shit with China over Taiwan. The CIA and Pentagon will get infinimoney, and Boeing, Raytheon, General Dynamics, etc will get trillions.
Eisenhower warned us.
