Trump Assassination Attempt.

[Core Imposter]

Turns out that the Secret Service did not have radio contact with the local cops. Communications via text. Government is inept. Incredibly so. And this was the first rally that Trump had USSS countersnipers. It almost feels like intentional neglect, reminding that before that day Kennedy had zero protection.

And all of this is in the news now which makes it more likely that a copycat will be emboldened to try their hand before election day.

Trump's a billionaire, he can pay for all additional protection ne feels he needs.

Actually no. Security starts with intelligence that private citizens can't access. But you really aren't seriously addressing the issue are you?

We are fighting to defend democracy… and that starts with the right for Donald Trump to organize his own private paramilitary outside of government control.

Yes, that's what was being suggested. Bravo.

If I didn’t say it explicitly before a in the post means it should be taken a bit more facetiously than if I were posting like now.

The point is I don’t think it would be good to make private the security of major candidates to the presidency. What’s the rationale for doing it? How rich should you be to get protection, or not get it? What if somebody gets in the White House and then only gives protection to members of their party?

I should use more emoji then!

The point is that former Presidents are subject to protection. That's law, apparently, regardless of whether or not anyone likes the person in question. But the level of attention isn't guaranteed. This is where the private sector comes in for all those that defend that model. Which you do, right? You're not one of those dirty commies like myself

Here are a couple of links that show what Tim Kennedy thinks about the assassination attempt. Tim Kennedy, is a Fox news contributor and I think currently active in the Special Forces. He has too many military accolades to list and I consider him an expert. He may even have had participated in Secret Service details, not quite sure about that. The bottom line is reliable source on the subject of small unit military tactics. I am not in full agreement with his politcal stance, but I do agree with most of what he says. The first video is a bit of an abstract: a summary of salient points and the second is a deep dive interview about his thoughts on the assassination.

Side note: he is a pretty interesting character, former MMA fighter with a pretty distinguished career plus his military service and various deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq.

I like his message an the end of the video. "Stay safe, stay free and NO political violence".

Just to point out Trump holds a ridiculous number of rallies. TBH it makes the Secret Services job that much more difficult when you have to service so many events. 37 + rallies, this year alone, for a former President and that's not counting all the other events he attends, UFC events etc, he certainly takes on a lot of risk.

Defend that what model? I’m not exactly sure what you are trying to get at and what I said that was so out of convention.

The joys of the private sector as a remedy for ills, for those who can afford it. As supposed to a more communal or, ahem, socialised model.
