Your 2024 Presidential Election Thread

Add on: I can't spell or grammar for shit. Hence the edits.

I’ve watched that video over-and-over again. Difficult to tell…but if the red-headed ‘witness’ is correct, that whole f’ing detail should be fired.

Replayed the video a bit. I think the sharpshooters had eyes on and flinched. Maybe they were waiting to get conformation or something, but I think they flinched during the initial volley. Shooter got off his initial shots, tried to recoup, then got dropped.

Have we considered this could be a ploy by the USSS for greater funding?

"See, that guy never could have taken the shot if we had more money for more agents, more guns, more tech, more..."

You sound like The Rabbit... .

A better case can be made that the SS was either understaffed or the detail was sabotaged. Look at Kimberly Cheatle and her boss Alejandro Mayorkas, the dude running the shit show at the border. Both are Biden appointees who started with the Clintons, made their bones with the Obamas, and were elevated to their positions by whoever is running Biden.

Oh and Cheatle's wiki page and bio stuff is being scrubbed off the internet.

I should have screen shot it this morning when I was looking to see if anyone had hacked it. The truth was better than any hack…she did her time as a SS agent, then was the Grand Poobah for of Security for Pepsi? Okay. It’s one of those ‘extreme things’. She got put in position to break up the good-ol’-boys network of hookers in blow from a few years ago.

Mission accomplished. I guess.

I was looking at it yesterday, they pretty much wiped out 85% of it. What's left is close to nothing. Apparently, she worked under Clinton and had a starring role under Obama. Led a couple of his details or something. Apart from the normal DEI garbage, she was also pushing the Secret Service to be more inclusive to women and have them make up 30% of their ranks.

They say Pittsburgh is just a big little town. I currently work in Bethel Park (used to live there too) which is a suburb of the South Hills of Pittsburgh. My office is around the corner from where the assassin worked at a local nursing home. I have many friends in our Republican committee that were in attendance at the rally last night. One of my friends from work lives in the neighborhood that is currently evacuated where Crooks (what a name) lives. The "deceased male" who was killed by the assassin is a former Buffalo Township(Washington County where I now live) Fire Chief Corey Comperatore. He died protecting his wife and daughters from the gun fire. I am shocked that a political assassination attempt occurred in this big little town. I am appalled that this horror occurred not just in my town but in my country. I am sad for my friends that experienced this in person, but thankful they were not killed or physically wounded.

Any word on motive or if this "registered Republican" shooter was active in politics?

Someone with the same supposed name donates to ACTBLUE. Though based on the time of donation the assassin would have been 17-18 to have donated.

That said, I'd sooner trust Haji with a loaded gun than the FBI or MSM. Too much weirdness going on.

Registered Republican today is meaningless with the McCains and Lincoln Project out there with their never trumping nonsense.

The shooter was 20. He would have only been 13 when he was elected and 17 when Trump left office. Which mean Tweet was it that ruined his life?

The left has been spewing hatred for so long and the indoctrination so deep that people who have no life experience are killing themselves over it. Maybe it’s time to finally arrest people like Kathy Griffin for promoting Trumps death.

Listening to CBS "former high school classmate stated that the shooter was bullied throughout high school, but never expected this".

Sounds like the kid was taking out his angst against people that had nothing to do with making his life "hell" and just chose to make life hell on others. Tale as old as time.

He is just a school shooter with a harder target. These guys are unhinged. Shooting the President or presidential candidate isn’t something any sane person does. I doubt this guy had a coherent thought, let alone a political agenda.

 

[Blizzard]

Did homie shoot or flinch?

His movements are interesting for sure. Both seem to be looking in the same direction. Are they looking at the shooter? Was he confirming the distance on his range finder (mounted on top of his scope) or taking a peak outside the glass to get better SA? Was this even the team that took out the shooter? Another team positioned on a rooftop on the other side of the stage. Lots of questions on that aspect alone.

A lot of apparent opportunities to break the chain were missed.

 

[Mad boomer]

You heard it here first: it'll be a publicity stunt or skewed that way.

If it was a shot, how was background citizens not hit?

Crazy video. Plus, video shows Trump standing, surrounded by SS.

I'm not EP but you'd think, SS would not allow any part of Trump to be shown, holding his fist up, or am I wrong?

person behind him was killed and two others wounded. I'm sure you know that now, this is reports currently.

 

[GOTWA]

Upwardnews in IG is reporting that USSS was ordered to "Keep an eye" on the shooter.

 

[Ooh-Rah]

Have we considered this could be a ploy by the USSS for greater funding?

"See, that guy never could have taken the shot if we had more money for more agents, more guns, more tech, more..."

I hate you.

Just my worthless opinion, shot in the dark

As in the case of many recent school shootings and attacks on Republicans he'll have a manifesto, notes, and or social media posts that indicate a mental state of victimhood, Leftist / socialist ideology and deep seated mental instability. He was probably under FBI suspicion and identified with radicalization. Could be wrong, but i'd bet on the obvious. I'd assess and conclude he acted alone and was on psych meds under a Doctors care.


Here's today's sampling of social media experts
"Trump set this all up and he did this for sympathy, this was MAGA"
"the FBI & DOJ set this up and did it along with the CIA"
"the counter sniper failed miserably and knew nothing about his job, he delayed intentionally to allow the guy to hit Trump"
"the Democrat party set this up and is in coordination with the shooter"
"the Secret Service failed by delaying extraction and intentionally exposed Trump to get him shot"
"the deep state did this all and executed it perfectly in coordination with local police"
the list goes on...

I think we are phucked as a nation, Thailand and Vietnam are nice places to live, pass me a beer...I gotta take up smoking dope

I hate you.

I concur...but he seems legit, maybe :)

Yep, was speaking on initial reports.

 

[Chopstick]

I can say he was not in my Republican Committee. But personally based upon my friend's experiences and witness statements, the question that needs to be answered was how did this apparent "nobody" get to where he got and was able to take that many shots before they smoked him. I've seen some pictures as I am sure many of you have as well. The kid ended up needing a lot of dental work. Does it make me feel any better? Not in the least.

 

[Muppet]

Ok, this is gold.

I'm not going to shit on the SS at all. From the videos it looks like they responded as fast as humanly possible given the scenario. Why it took minutes for a response to the people reporting the shooter on the roof is another question, but were they communicating directly with police/SS? It sounded like witnesses were flailing their arms pointing out the roof to perimeter security looking from afar through binos.

As for the counter sniper team, guy was propped up on the tripod, scanning, then took the shooter out within seconds. If he heard incoming rounds and started to duck that's a perfectly normal response. If he was the one that took the guy out, then that is a much better response.

DOS high threat quals give 2 seconds to put 2 shots on standing man sized a target 9 ft away. That sniper took out a shooter in the prone 130m away in about 4 seconds. Keep in mind the guys around the stage would have been focused on the crowd the whole time.

 

[AWP]

Crazy, random thought:

Have we considered this isn't a political act, but a crazy bastard trying to "be remembered" for something?

"They didn't pay attention to me, but they will now" kind of shit?

It could just be that simple.
