Not funny and bad form to joke about assassinations.

Curious, The NY Times is running a narrated video that shows, apparently in real time, that Secret Service snipers were aimed at the assassin BEFORE shots were fired. The narrator even says this! If true, that will spawn some dangerous shit.

BTW, I just got terminated by X for a tweet where I suggested that an urban cyclist to kill himself in some other way, because if he continued to ride like the video he posted he was dead man walking, for sure.

According to X censors, that was "violent speech". But the cyclists' video, which encouraged extremely dangerous riding that is certain to get people killed if emulated, was A OK. That Just shows how stupid AI algorithms are.

Some, myself included, find the well-known quip “Otherwise, how did you like the play, Mrs. Lincoln?” funny.

Love that line, my mother used to st that. It probably helps how long ago it happened though.

I still get away with saying, "may his days be few" like that gop senator from Georgia said of Obama.

Regards "Curious, The NY Times is running a narrated video that shows, apparently in real time, that Secret Service snipers were aimed at the assassin BEFORE shots were fired. The narrator even says this! If true, that will spawn some dangerous shit."

Check this MSM UK story out comprising the text "At almost the exact split second Trump grabs his ear, after being hit by a bullet, one of the agent's powerful guns is seen recoiling. "....

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13632249/Moment-Secret-Service-snipers-shoot-gunmen-shot-Donald-Trump.html

....

OH WAIT, in the UK now, we have the additional news of "Trump shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks 'had explosive devices' in his car parked near the Pennsylvania rally"....

NYT reported that the assassin fired 8 shots. I saw the UK story. I am no gun expert, but the alleged instantaneous "recoil" looks more like the sniper rising up off his scope and aim to get a visual. Those guys don't miss from 150 yards, so how could the assassin get time to fire 7 more shots? Or how could he have fired 8 shots before the sniper(s) took him out?

I saw an FBI spokesperson making EXACTLY the same claim in a network TV clip. SO, this is becoming the official excuse.

The NYT also reported that their expert concluded that the snipers fired AFTER the assassin did. Kind of like having the Zapruder video with people saying they saw men with guns firing from the grassy knoll published in real time.

I am in the UK and I have fired 3 different guns in my life:

1. Air Rifle - we had as kids

2. Winchester - 2.2 that we did at scouts

3. Shotguns (family farms and corporate events for clay pigeon shooting ).

I AM NO EXPERT AND NO YANK... but for me, it just sounded like an airgun ... or similar.

As for capturing the bullet in a picture flying across the sky .... Jesus Wept.

PS Your comment is spot on.

The presence of the flag in the background of the iconic photo is kind of like investigators finding perfectly intact passports of the 9/11 terrorists amidst the rubble. It's the tell.

By this point on Sunday I know you're buzzed. Quite a bit.

Even though you are, can you take a shot at the story? For example, who cut Trump's ear?

It certainly was not a .55 grain .223 bullet traveling at 3,240 feet per second. That would have taken his ear off.

There was no cut by a bullet. There was no blood splatter on his hair or collar and no blood on his right and. It was either a fake (slow mo video shoes his right hand going to his ear BEFORE he flinched from gunshots) or it was from glass hards from the teleprompter.

So many things way off they support multiple conflicting theories - a Roshomon!

You in England? Who fixed that uncalled offside for Spaniards? Was Trump involved in anyway?

The narrative now is it was "major security failure". As in 9/11 - "yeah, we knew about plans to fly planes into tall buildings and we tracked the guys training. Just failed, you know."

Take the guns, more clampdown, all too predictable and people need to understand that both parties are 2 cheeks of the same UN and WEF arse.

Oh by the way, they all want social unrest; UK and EU - we are having the same thing as well.

You are using logic indentical to that which Zionists apply to the holocaust. One evil justifies and diminishes the validity of all other evils.

And what about Muslim killing Muslims in the name of Allah? Simple one vector arguments are wrought with counter arguements.
