A clip from my discussion with
@smerconish
today about security lapses in the attempted assassination of Trump. I said today that "This is the greatest breach and dropping of the ball in terms of Secret Service security that I've ever seen."

kThis is the greatest breach and dropping of the ball in terms of Secret Service security…”
I don’t know, I would think JFK might disagree. Bobby Kennedy too. Ronald Reagan actually got shot, Jerry Ford had two attempts on his life, and, lest we recall, Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley didn’t do so well with their Secret Service Protection either.

And there's a non-zero chance that Secret Service told Trump there was a security issue and he cannot go out on stage, but he refused to listen and insisted on going out anyway. As I recall, he has talked about the crowds being "my people" at some previous outdoor event where he didn't want the metal detectors to be used.

The attempt.
The success in the attempt thwarted only by inches.
It was most likely gross incompetence which is typical.
Tiiiiiiiny part that someone in the Establishment was risking making a martyr out of him. But you people are so incompetent at so many things, I still think that's what it was this time. No conspiracy, just failure and stupidity - as American as salsa and as British as Chicken Curry and as French as Halal meat.
The attempt.
The failure.
Yes indeed - a gifted, blessed, talented first world nation - -- showing structural 3rd world traits.

Yeah, sure. Just because DJT declares any thing that happen to or with him the greatest / worst / biggest / most unfair ad nauseum in history, doesn't mean his brainwashed or opportunistic sycophants need to pump the meme.
