In Topics: Trump Media Stupidity Orwellian Stupidity
There's no way that picture above will ever get wiped from the internet or leave the memories of lots of Americans. It is, as they say, iconic.
As some of us try as best we can to get to the truth of what happened Saturday evening in Butler, Pennsylvania, we should recall how the Lyin' Press has handled the January 6th mostly-peaceful protest and concurrent rioting and fun-making 3 1/2 years ago. I'd seen lots of video clips on youtube within a couple of days or weeks afterward that I've had no luck finding since.*
I was lucky to be able to get some information personally, such as from a member of the Capitol Police, as related in Murderer of Ashli Babbitt revealed: Michael Leroy Byrd. However, within the media, by the time a few Conservatives got involved in trying to investigate the happenings of a couple of years earlier, statements were made that conflicted with obvious evidence in videos no longer able to be seen. Questions were asked that could have been answered with proof back in January '21, now suddenly up for discussion again.
There is a lot about the Trump assassination attempt that is fishy. The question of whether the fiasco of a lone gunman (this time) being able to get that close and take a 3rd of a magazine's worth** of shots comes down to stupidity or evil. (With another divide, that either the evil being a plan, or possibly just a purposeful "standing down" instead of taking obvious action - well, who planned THAT, then?). We'll get into this tomorrow here at Peak Stupidity, to continue from the comment section of our initial short news post.
We've all seen plenty of images and video clips by now. There were witnesses galore to the actions of the assassination attempt perpetrator. They've already made a number of statements that should help lead us to the truth. Let's not forget all of this, as the Lyin' Press tries to memory-hole lots of it. We need to archive what we can. As programmers, writers, and anyone else using software well knows, save your work! Otherwise, it can disappear.... somehow...
* There was the attempt to release many thousands, tens of thousands, maybe, hours of J6 footage last year. As I recall, the push for this by Tucker Carlson was one of the reasons suggested to explain his being fired from Fox news. There was also that $3/4 Billion lawsuit settlement by Dominion voting machines too, that was, if not peripherally related, part of the same overall conflict.
** I'm thinking 30 round magazines here. That's kind of a standard for the AR types.

PS: "*HAS* more than enough money ..." I sure hope, anyway, after the Leticia James Gang.
"My 757 comes in at 185. I lost my license, now I don't fly. Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through" (Something, something, he's cool...)"

PS: "Former-POTUS Nixon at some point fired his Secret Service minders and hired private security... just sayin’." I did not know that [/Carson]
Yes, Trump had more than enough money too. I would hope he could somehow ditch AF-1 and keep flying in his own 757-200, with his own flight crew and own mechanics. What a blast that would be to be involved in that!

PS
That “iconic” flag over 45’s/47’s head is just the thing a shooter would like to give windage data. Trump was obviously set up for removal from the contest, to wit, the uninvited-by-Trump Nimarata was invited to the RNC shortly before the Trump event.
Former-POTUS Nixon at some point fired his Secret Service minders and hired private security... just sayin’. The official story in the press was that he did it to save dot-gov $3m per annum.

PS: I'd never thought much about that expression before, Robert, though I've used it thousand of times. "Quite a few"? Good point.

PS: I just bought a t-shirt with that photo on it. There are quite a few sellers (quite a few --- how does that mean a lot) and I had to look around a bit to find one without words on it. Especially not 'Our President'.
When I first saw that picture, I thought: that would make a great t-shirt. Thanks for prompting me to follow up.

Skip to 2 minutes in if you don't want the chatter...
