"do not shoot first" rules of engagement seems crazy to me, for what are supposed to be the elite of the elite.. but let's go with that. It still makes zero sense why they would not have gotten Trump OFF that stage as soon as they saw him. Or at the very least surround Trump with agents.

From the look of it, it seems they just weren't supposed to be there. If you're protecting someone you want any possible threats to be on as few sides of you as possible.. but then that doesn't make as much sense because the person taking that video was just on the other side of that low fence, and they were not asked to move. So I guess I don't really have a great explanation, just that I disagree with the speculation that it was to allow the shooter a clearer shot.

FBI can’t find a motive.

Being intellectually honest about this statement, it really means evidence of the motive. It sounds so stupid because the motive seems obvious in light of the rhetoric of the left. However, other possible motives could be he was paid to do it, blackmailed, brainwashed, MK Ultra'd, personally aggrieved by Trump real or perceived, etc.., all just as possible as the obvious "Was radicalized by leftist talking points about Trump".

So if we just pretend for a minute the FBI is competent and honestly investigating then it's actually not that dumb to say they don't have a motive yet..

But yeah I don't trust them, and highly doubt this will be investigated properly.

Regarding The dude directing press away from the back of the stage:

My only thoughts on that, are whether shots came from the roof guy or from a water tower, they were not in the way at all. Trump was elevated on the stage, and those people would in no way have blocked the shot. (But if he was SS, then he failed because he ducks and covers and doesn't immediately go to protect Trump)

There is the one photo that captured the streak of a bullet. So we know at least one bullet came from that direction

Another consideration is places like 23 and me, law enforcement have used those sources before. And you don't even necessarily need to have done the test yourself, just by someone related to you taking the test will immediately identify you as being related.

Very well said. Pretty much anyone I know who doesn't like Trump, doesn't like him based on reasons that aren't even true. When I hear it, I usually say "Oh you watch CNN don't ya?" and about 70% of the time I'll get a "yeah...?" back, with a confused look. And if it's not CNN, it's one of the other leftist media outlets .

If you don't like Trump for reasons that are based in reality, I can at least respect that and just disagree with you. It's amazing how such low information people can so passionately hate a man based on nothing but lies, while at the same time blindly endorsing objectively evil people.

It would make sense why they would do this if the actual identity of the person had ties back to people that tried to make this happen.. If that is in fact the case, it will be buried since the FBI is now on the case.

That makes sense for those with skin in game.. not sure why leftists et al., go along with it.

I mean I think Hillary Clinton is evil incarnate, but I'd be pissed if someone tried to assassinate her. I want her to face justice! These people wishing the guy had not missed Trump are letting their hatred turn themselves evil. They are throwing their morals out the door (if they even had any to begin with), to suit their political beliefs.

I don't know how you sneak up on someone on a metal roof when you need to climb a ladder. And very hard to defend yourself when all your limbs are needed.

The yelling and shouting part, I'd agree, although from the videos that is already what people were doing, and there was some failure on the SS and/or police part.

Running up on stage to shield the president with your own body?! I mean a noble sentiment but are you crazy? If SS was doing their job you would be immediately apprehended or even shot. You can't just bum rush the President and expect anyone to know your intentions or who you are.

Yeah, when it comes to Q posts there are things to keep in mind:

  • It might not be true or entirely true (disinfo is necessary)
  • It might not mean what you think it means (multiple meanings exist)
  • Even if the first 2 don't apply and it is in fact a true statement, that does not mean it will always be true, forever and ever. There are plenty of statements that come tied to a time period and may have an expiration date

I don't even know that it's stupidity. Or at least to me, stupidity would imply an unchanging level of intelligence that is lower than average. Whatever this is, it's willful, willfully turning off their brains. They are ideologically possessed. They go out of their way to protect themselves from reality, highly emotional. It's like they're turning off their consciousness and it's their lizard brain running the show.

I've seen people that come out of the liberal stupor, and they completely go back to being a normal human being.

Yeah, I was going to say the same. "Not cowering in the corner, but using President Trump himself as cover! Which is even worse."

I'm thinking the same thing, but really wondering why this guy then? If the people that want President Trump gone were able to manipulate a situation like this, to have an actual shot at getting rid of him, why wouldn't it be some professional? I just don't see them wasting an opportunity like this on some rando.

Although I have seen some speculation on multiple shooters, and that this guy was really just the distraction, but I don't about that..

Agreed, but I don't know what they could have done in this case. If any of them were armed they'd likely have been shot by SS if they tried stopping that guy. (Which is exactly what should have happened immediately to the shooter)

I've done dozens of system migrations, both for my personal PC all the way up to multi-tens of thousands of user systems. The very first step on every one is to make a backup of the original data, so that is something goes wrong, you can at least get right back where you started.

Migration means you are moving to a new system, or moving to a software update that may not be backwards compatible. The whole point is NOT lose data. Usually you'll need to transform some data to get it in the new system, but it wouldn't just disappear. She is such a liar.

I don't think so; the map I've seen of the layout puts the shooter on the roof of a building about 145 yards directly to Trump's right. These people were right behind him and not in the line of fire. Even if they were to the right of him, the shooter is on a roof and Trump is on a stage, so none of those people would be in the way..

However, if that guy telling them to move was in fact SS, then I think he failed in his duty. He ducked down instead of immediately moving to protect the President.

Great analysis of the situation. In jobs like this competency and actual ability are what matters, diversity should be the least important thing.

I wouldn't be against having female SS, I could see a slight strategic advantage in them being more unassuming and when protecting other females/kids it might make them more comfortable. I also think women are better than men at reading body language, which I think would be very useful for a job like this.

However, you need to be very cognizant in exactly what skills and ability you are losing and what you are gaining by making that decision. Women have a lot of weaknesses that the rest of the security detail will need to make up for, and everyone should be honest in determining if it's worth it; not worth it for diversity, but worth it as in "Is the team stronger or weaker now?". If weaker, they shouldn't be there.

It's been done (like by other people on this board).. it is a pretty common format to leave off the 19 or 20 in the date. It's not like there are hard and fast rules on how to do this. Doesn't mean it's not significant, just that in this case it's anything but mathematically impossible.

The guy keeps saying "Right there, right on the white roof" I really wish the camera guy would show where he's pointing!
