@Teufel Yeah, because pointing out obvious contradictions in the Secret Service's story is totally the same as inventing wild conspiracy theories. After their embarrassing lapse in the first assassination attempt, they’ve got every reason to try and save face, so asking for clarity isn’t exactly out of left field.

@Ultra Magnus13 The point is, the story changed. First, the guy had a rifle aimed at Trump, and now suddenly there was no line of sight.
Why no reply to me? I have never seen the first story and so have never seen that it changed. Can the claim be substantiated?

@Teufel Just to clarify, this isn’t about gun politics. The issue my friend raised is more about the consistency of the Secret Service's statements and whether we can trust the information they’re putting out. Breaking news can be chaotic, sure, but when the narrative shifts like this, it’s natural to question why. It’s not about a “sinister plot” but more about holding authorities accountable for the information they provide.

@Axaday He didn't cite an article, but I found this:


Palm Beach County Sheriff Ric Bradshaw said the US Secret Service agents fired at a man pointing an AK-style rifle with a scope as Trump was on the course.

I can see how a reader might interpret that as "pointing a gun at Trump."

If the narrative shifts. I'm 97% sure this is something FB Friend imagined and it sent him down a rabbit hole, which makes the "not a conspiracy theorist, but" preface funny.

It would also require Democrats to grow something resembling a spine. They're paranoid of what's going to happen to their reputation if they prosecute a rival candidate for the presidency, which Trump is never not going to be so long as a Democrat is in charge of the DOJ.

I don't really know what to say. You, like me and Teufel, could not find substantiation. I don't think Sheriff Bradshaw has much responsibility for how a reader might interpret something and I don't think he was there and I don't think the Secret Service has much responsibility for his statement that is probably just confused. I don't know anything about Sheriff Bradshaw. Maybe he craves attention and ran out to break the news or maybe someone confronted him with a microphone and he just gave his understanding?He probably shouldn't have said anything at all, but it really doesn't resemble a story changing to me. The first thing I saw was that there'd been another assassination attempt and really pretty soon there was the statement that has persisted the whole time.

The stable genius is hallucinating audiences now.


Harris's comment about people leaving his rallies must've hit him harder than we thought.

I wish I could believe that there's anything Trump could do that would get the GOP to 25th him.

If they have a chance to seize power, they'll take it. Especially as this madman has proven so uncontrollable. The problem is, if they wait, he could strike first and decapitate them instead in order to become El Presidente.

Ironbite-all comes down to who pulls the trigger first.

25th-ing Glorious Leader means rousing the ire of his cult, and the GOP's too cowardly to risk rousing their ire or worse, losing their votes.

Wouldn't need their votes if you declare martial law. And Vance is stupid enough to do so.

Ironbite-Project 2025 is very explicit.
 

wonko the sane?

You may test that assumption at your convinience.
Citizen
They can't even if they want to: trump controls the RNC. IF they managed to wrestle control away from him, AND do the impossible and replace him on the ballots (considering early voting has already started in some states: very literally impossible.)... he still takes his cult with him, the won't vote for a republican if trump is excised from the party. They need trump to win: and he absolutely cannot win.

.....Wonko, I need you to put on some glasses. This is AFTER! the Orange Piss Pot takes office ok?

Ironbite-they wait 6 months, 25th him, and then take over the country.
