    How about the glaring Secret Service failures (at the very least):
    • The roofs to nearby buildings should have been locked tightly and completely inaccessible
    • SS should have had staff in positions on those nearby building rooftops or at least had eyes on those rooftops knowing they're most-likely spots for assailants
    • SS should have established a secured perimeter where an AR-15-style rifle could not have entered undetected
    • The female bodyguards that surrounded Trump should not be considerably shorter than the body they're guarding
    • Immediately after shooting started, female bodyguard can be heard saying "where are we going?" "What are we doing?". Either she didn't know what to do (fail) or she didn't remember her training (fail) or hadn't rehearsed this kind of emergency (fail).
    • The crowd spotted the armed gunmen even before SS did. That should not be possible.
    Please feel free to continue this list

    Biggest Secret Service failure in over 40 years - since the attempted assassination of Reagan in 1981.

    Every time I see this crap, it always reminds me that TDS is so freaking real. People are losing their minds because of their hatred towards Trump.

    There's enough blame to go around for inciting rhetoric, but the immediate jumping to conclusions of why the shooter did this is a rash thing to do.

    LOL. The reality of 2020 was like an episode of Black Mirror ... and it hasn't stopped. I don't know if we are in the darkest timeline, but it sure is weird AF.

    I would like to channel @astros123 but I won't. I'll just point out that you are really naive if you believe a freaking anonymous 4chan post.

    I wouldn't mind dipping my toes in the Gore won in 2000 timeline just for the hell of it. Actually reminds me of that Family Guy episode...

    that him registering as a republican in 2021 with the goal of voting against Trump in the 2024 primaries which he did not even vote in is a funny talking point

    keep up

    He only voted in November of 2022. Lemme guess, he needed to register as a republican so that he could vote against Oz in the midterms in November?

    may of 22:


    In the May 17 primary, Fetterman won the Democratic nomination with 59% of the vote.[2] Oz finished with a 0.1% margin ahead of businessman David McCormick in the Republican primary, triggering an automatic recount. McCormick conceded the nomination on June 3,[3] making Oz the first Muslim candidate to be nominated by either major party for U.S. Senate.[4]

    Did you have the information about what the shooter's motivation was?
