The official general election campaign hasn't started yet. That is a fairly significant angle, from the podium area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumb Nuck Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 The shooter didn’t just randomly open up, he had to climb up the building with his rifle and then set up into a shooting position, this took some time. I think it has to be answered how this was missed. If I had to bet, and I’m purely speculating, my guess would be complacency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satchmo Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 Within minutes after Trump shooting, misinformation started flying. ‘Everyone is just speculating’ Within minutes of the gunfire, the apparent attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump spawned a vast sea of claims — some outlandish, others contradictory — reflecting the frightening uncertainties of the moment as well as America’s fevered, polarized political climate. The cloudburst of speculation and conjecture as Americans turned to the internet for news about the shooting is the latest sign of how social media has emerged as a dominant source of information — and misinformation — for many, and a contributor to the distrust and turbulence now driving American politics. Mentions of Trump on social media soared up to 17 times the average daily amount in the hours after the shooting, according to PeakMetrics, a cyber firm that tracks online narratives. Many of those mentions were expressions of sympathy for Trump or calls for unity. But many others made unfounded, fantastical claims. “We saw things like ‘The Chinese were behind it,’ or ‘Antifa was behind it,’ or ‘the Biden administration did it.’ We also saw a claim that the RNC was behind it,’” said Paul Bartel, senior intelligence analyst at PeakMetrics. “Everyone is just speculating. No one really knows what’s going on. They go online to try to figure it out.” https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-biden-tiktok-misinformation-fact-check-4b7ab8e21c00aa6ef47f25ec76984fe6 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 54 minutes ago, DeNiro said: Easy targets to blame. If there wasn’t law enforcement posted on every side of buildings with direct sight lines that’s 100% on secret service. How many rallies has Trump held across the country in the last year? Yet some are suggesting that security is incompetent or at least negligent. If anything with all the angst and anger that he generates you would think he would have heightened security. It is good to ask the questions as whether it is Trump or Biden it threatens democracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted July 14 Share Posted July 14 3 minutes ago, Optimist Prime said: There is at least 22 structures in this small image alone. Again: when trump has had a thousand events in the years since leaving office: how much security is the required amount? Enough to keep him safe from foreseeable threats is the answer. Unfortunately crazy is the highest level of unforeseen events. All well. I think i am wasting my breathe... Have fun in the thread, but if we are gonna do conspiracies vs incompetence as the only two choices, i am out. A shooter is the number one event they’re preparing for though. That should be their prime focus. Maybe at least secure the building closest to the stage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be the change you want to see happen. FTR, the shooter is dead. Rather than "rot in hell" maybe something to change the hostile narrative or you're no better than the rest of the "get him" crowd. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You really don't understand voter registration in the US if you think merely being registered as one or the other is significant. It's so, so easy to change affiliations in order to vote for candidates of either party you'd like to win, or to vote against someone. Leftists using his voter registration despite a donation to ActBlue to declare him a social republican is typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
