    It’s like I told a chud yesterday, the problem with being conspiratorial is that all of those stories you keep telling yourself fall flat. What obviously happened is that the Secret Service was incompetent as shit because this detail was picked by the Donald or someone close to him. It’s not like the Secret Service has a clean history with their agents to begin with. In a way it’s DEI for white people as he chose his own people for the “loyalty” rather than anything else.

      There was a guy on the radio the other day who had been part of Bush’s protective detail and talked about how the SS usually did ‘close protection’ meaning the guys around Trump and the stage and extended threat like the snipers we saw who would be aiming much further out. He said that the close-to-middle-distance that the shooter was in was usually designated to local police to secure.

      If that’s the case, then it’s even more unsurprising that the cops half-arsed it and reacted way too late.
