So, a man try to kill the orange Redneck-in-Chief.
The real question now is, will he take the hint and run with it?

He kinda slow, so I'm guessing he won't.

JD Vance with a practicing Hindu wife and a kid named Vivek gonna negate a lot of the Left's usual attack points on their Right opponents.

^ well the left already didn't like Suella Braverman. Even Sunaik asked her to leave govt.

Watching that synced video it's interesting that Trump was talking about the immigrants that he says should not be in America while a white American tried to assassinate him.

If I were Trump I'd say the police can barely monitor Americans who plot this, how'd they accurately track illegals.

And a white card-carrying Republican American to boot.


But for real
Americans have a history of trying to kill presidents, this is nothing new. But when was the last time a would-be assassin got so close to achieving their goal of offing a former president and current presidential candidate on US soil? It's been decades.


I eh go lie, Agent Orange idiot does bring out the worst in people. From national leaders down.

he looking different - i guess almost getting killed would do that

Is how this crazy eyed bathroom stall peeper secured the VP pick when so many Republicans were angling themselves for the position.

JD Vance is a Senator, former Marine that fought in Iraq, has a law degree from Yale, wrote a NYT best seller that was turned into an Oscar nominated movie, is still in his 30s and from the Rust Belt. Man should be an inspired pick for Conservatives.

He also can be a middle of the road voter as he has voted with Democrats on the cheaper insulin bill, railroad bill and executive pay bill.


Kamla Harris has agreed to a debate with him and that would be quite interesting if it does happen.

Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle says the reason no agents were placed on the roof with the shooter is because the roof was sloped and it was deemed dangerous

steups- the gunman didnt mind it being sloped. and if u couldn't put someone there at least they could have more closely monitored the top of the building.

i am picturing one of those movies where there's tons of agents in a room and then the camera pans to the roof where the perp is and not 1 single agent

i'm sure they had good reason for not monitoring the top of the building

I came to the party after he 180'd on his running mate, as well as his extreme anti divorce and abortion phase, likening divorce to changing underwear, and ruling out divorce and abortion even when rape, incest and violence is involved.

But traditional values blah blah. It's your right to be impressed by that.

they may very well have a point- although i didn't see it mentioned but in terms of height requirements. an agent has to literally shield the target with his/her own body, which means u probably should be at least as tall if not taller than the person u are shielding. what if they relaxed that requirement to allow females, knowing that the average female is shorter than the average male in order to satisfy the DEI requirements of a 30% quota?

right here in T&T we have height requirements in the TTPS- guess what? they are considerably lower for females than males- there was a case where a man sued the TTPS because he didnt meet the requirements for males although a female shorter than him would have qualified. but at least no TTPS using their body to shield anyone.

so the secret service with their DEI policies could very well have a different height requirement- 1 of the female agents appeared to be shorter than trump, leaving him exposed.

when it comes to safety- u dont hire someone because they are a woman so u can check a DEI box, u hire the best person for the job- man or woman. because if u do the former u tend to dumb down qualifications.

A shooting range, a gun store, and a ladder purchase: Tracking the Trump rally gunman’s movements leading up to his attack

unfolded minute by minute
CNN
—
In the 48 hours before he opened fire on former President Donald Trump, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks made a series of stops in and around his suburban Pittsburgh hometown.

On Friday, he went to a shooting range where he was a member, and practiced firing, a law enforcement official told CNN. The next morning, Crooks went to a Home Depot, where he bought a five-foot ladder, and a gun store, where he purchased 50 rounds of ammunition, the official said.

Then, Crooks drove his Hyundai Sonata about an hour north, joining thousands of people from around the region who flocked to Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. He parked the car outside the rally, with an improvised explosive device hidden in the trunk that was wired to a transmitter he carried, the official said. Then, investigators believe, he used his newly-bought ladder to scale a nearby building, and opened fire on the former president.


As investigators continue to search for a motive behind the attempted assassination, they are scrutinizing Crooks’ movements before the attack and trying to piece together a timeline of his actions leading up to it.

Yet nearly 48 hours after the shooting, investigators are struck by the lack of leads they’re finding about Crooks’ mindset and possible motives. Even after successfully breaking into his phone and searching his computer, scouring his search history and bedroom, and interviewing his family and friends, agents still haven’t found evidence that would suggest political or ideological impetus for the shooting, law enforcement sources told CNN.

Instead, the evidence they have found appears to show typical online activities including an interest in computer coding and gaming, the sources said — and that has raised more questions.

In a sign that his attack could have been even more destructive, Crooks had a remote control detonator on his body, and his car’s trunk contained a metal box of explosives that was connected with wires to a receiver, the law enforcement source said.

That suggests the gunman may have been planning to set off an explosion remotely, and investigators are considering the theory that he may have been planning a distraction during the shooting.

It’s unclear how Crooks assembled the explosive devices found in his car. Investigators parsing through his online search history haven’t found any indication of him researching how to make home-made explosives, law enforcement officials said.

What we know about the Trump rally gunman so far
The AR-style rifle Crooks used to fire on Trump was legally purchased by his father, Matthew Crooks. It was one of more than 20 firearms registered to the elder Crooks, which were kept at the family’s home, according to Pennsylvania State Police records reviewed by investigators, the official said. All of the guns were legally purchased.

The gunman and his father were members of Clairton Sportsmen’s Club, a gun club about a 25-minute drive from his house, and enjoyed going shooting there together, according to law enforcement officials. Rob Bootay, a lawyer for the club, confirmed in a statement that the younger Crooks was a member.

The club, which has about 2,000 members, features a rifle shooting range that is roughly 200 yards long, according to a CNN analysis of satellite images – longer than the distance between Crooks and Trump when he fired at the former president while perched on a nearby rooftop. The range is tucked into 180 acres of woodlands in the hills south of Pittsburgh.

“The Club fully admonishes the senseless act of violence that occurred,” Bootay said, adding that he could not “make any additional commentary in relation to this matter in light of pending law enforcement investigations.”


Crooks purchased the 50 rounds of ammunition on the morning of the attack at Allegheny Arms and Gun Works, a local gun store in his hometown of Bethel Park, a senior law enforcement official told CNN. Bruce Piendl, the store’s owner, said in a statement that “we are thankful that President Trump was not assassinated and our hearts and prayers go out to all victims of this horrible incident.”

A spokesperson for Home Depot, where Crooks bought the ladder, said in a statement that “we condemn the violence against former President Trump, and our thoughts are with him, the other victims of Saturday’s horrific events, and their families.”

It’s not clear whether Crooks used the ammunition or the ladder that he bought on Saturday during his attack later that day.

Matthew Crooks did not respond to requests for comment from CNN on Sunday and Monday. On Saturday evening, before officials had publicly confirmed his son’s role in the attack, he told CNN that he was trying to figure out “what the hell is going on” but would “wait until I talk to law enforcement” before speaking about his son.

FBI investigators succeeded in accessing the younger Crooks’ cell phone, the agency said Monday afternoon. While investigators had hoped that breakthough would help them understand what drove him to attempt to assassinate Trump, they’re still struggling to make sense of it, law enforcement officials said.

The shooter’s parents, who have been cooperating with law enforcement since the shooting, have told investigators that Crooks did not appear to have friends and did not appear to have any political leanings, a law enforcement official told CNN. But they didn’t seem to know much about what was going on in his life recently, law enforcement sources said.

i wouldn't say the female being shorter would be a problem. ideally nobody should have to be a shield it shouldnt reach to that point

maybe if they had a smarter agent that would monitor the roof. i not suggesting hire somebody real tall to watch up the roof, but maybe get a drone or even a mirror and a long stick or something

[redmanjp]

it shouldn't but u need to have contingencies, which are the close protection agents who give their own life in the event of another failure which did happen. they should at least be as tall as the person u are protecting- and if u cant get a woman that tall then hard luck- choose a man.

[paid_influencer]

ppl would be less likely to shoot a woman tho fax
