The kid in question was a competition shooter -- varsity rifle team. I have no trouble believing that Crooks could hit a man-sized target accurately at 150yds, but a sniper he was not. A sniper would have done the smart thing and aimed for center-mass, or else would have accounted for wind factor before taking the first shot.
I don't believe there was a second shooter -- I believe that the Deep State fully intended on killing the would-be assassin whether he made the shot or missed, but had no direct contact with the kid. Supposedly Crooks posted a video about planning to shoot Trump, but afaiaa the post was deleted, presumably to scrub the evidence of premeditation, and depending on when the video was made would have given the Deep State an opportunity to create a security gap by ensuring Trump's security detail was understaffed and reliant on the Police Department to cover the only fucking building where a competent shooter would go to make an attempt on Trump's life.
Not if a member of the First Family (Jill Biden) is doing an event on the same day.
Trump isn't the kind of man who will cower in the face of this treacherous attack. Though there was a tragic loss of life, and this incident could have been prevented if the rooftop that was used had been properly secured, there is a silver lining:
The higher-ups in the Secret Service cannot afford to leave Trump's events improperly secured without coming under fire from non-RINOs in Congress, lest they undermine the agency's reputation in the face of scrutiny by the entire American public.
I don't think the shooter was necessarily an amateur, but they definitely weren't a professional sniper. If the perp was aiming for roughly nose-height and center, they missed the follow-up shot (the first one missed completely) by a matter of inches, meaning that the #1 thing that fucked up the attempt was probably failure to account for wind.
Sharpshooters are typically deployed in pairs. One acts as the spotter, who does the calculations, and one is the triggerman, who is responsible for adjusting the rifle and taking the shot. Trained marksmen also do not usually aim for the head if the center of mass is exposed.
For anyone who doesn't realize how far 150 yards is and how difficult a shot is at a distance, a target that would be 6ft tall at 1 yard shrinks to just under half an inch (31/64ths) in size to the naked eye at 150 yards, and that's the size of the target from head to toe, not just the head.
The human head, meanwhile, is about 9 inches from chin to crown for someone 6ft tall, which reduces to less than 0.05 inches at 150 yards, assuming you have no magnification. An untrained shooter would probably need at least 10x magnification to make the shot, and that's assuming they account for wind and have their scope properly zero'd in for that distance.
EDIT: To make one thing clear, I think we are all collectively very lucky that the shooter did not account for wind direction and speed, because that is the most likely reason that Trump wasn't killed.
Local police are more likely to be in on it, because the police had every opportunity to inform the SS detail and apparently chose not to.
Counterargument to 1st point of speculation: The Secret Service takes its work very seriously, because their entire reputation hinges on their competence. Meanwhile, the DHS is directly responsible for allocation of SS agents and resources, and has reportedly been unresponsive to the Trump detail's requests for more agents and assets.
I have a potential answer for this question, actually, and it's not that Trump's detail wasn't fully on-task or that they were neglecting their duties. If anything, the blame for this incident being allowed to happen is a result of the DHS failing to respond to or act upon the requests of Trump's security detail for additional agents and resources to be allocated to them.
TL;DR: The reason there weren't SS agents on every building is because Trump's detail simply doesn't have that many agents available, and not for a lack of trying to get them.
That's pretty much what I've been told.
I've heard that the identity of the shooter is known, and that he was a member of Antifa.
From what I've been told, the shooter is dead, one Trump supporter was killed, and another had to be airlifted out.
I've been told that two people were killed during the incident, including the shooter and one of the supporters at the rally, and a woman was injured and had to be airlifted out.
Treacherous Tortoise?
The signature matching being unlawful would necessitate either a class action lawsuit either by voters or a normal lawsuit by electoral candidates against whoever has statutory authority over the elections in the state/county, I.E. The People of Maricopa County vs. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors, since in Arizona, each county has a Board of Supervisors who hold statutory authority and appoint an Elections Director.
The legal standing for the lawsuit, as I understand it, would stem from the fact that the Board of Supervisors neglected to perform the duties of their office, and in so doing, defrauded both the citizenry of that county and the electoral candidates.
10 days of darkness.
If the military is ready for cyber-attacks with a non-cyber workaround, why would the cyber-attacks be only [attempts]?
The answer is in the question. If the cyber-attacks are unsuccessful, then they are only attempts. It implies that the military has anticipated such attacks and has a plan in place to counteract them.
You'll want to contact the Register of Deeds office and the Clerk of Superior Court office for the county the land is in.
Land records include documents such as deeds, wills, mortgages, court orders, devorces, and liens. If you want to fully understand the legal status of a parcel of land, you need to search records in both offices.
The most shocking answer would be Barron Trump, but that's a rabbit hole even I am hesitant to dive into.
You don't, because that's not what it's designed for. Submarines that are designed to allow exit at depth have airlocks or moonpools, which account for that pressure differential
I think that's more of a message to Project Veritas.
Only where laws and executive orders apply to them. If there is no legal procedure which concerns the de-classification of documents, then it stands to reason that the President only needs to give the order, which has been proven to be done for at least some of the documents that were seized.
I never claimed rainfall wasn't important, and I never will.
Personally, and I predicted this in the past, I believe the Deep State is trying to engineer a famine ahead of an insurrection.
FFS you have so many rivers, can the midwest not compensate for the lack of rainfall?
Ah, in which case, see Article 2 of the constitution:
“The President … shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.”
It limits the appearance of culpability. The top brass of the SS can say "oh well we needed everyone and their dog to protect Jill Biden at her event and couldn't spare any more agents" and then hide behind the distinction between a former president and a member of the first family when it comes to the agency's priorities.
Quietly leaving a gap in the security for the shooter to take advantage of is easier than having to position a backup plan, and opens the door to blame local law enforcement.
