   I can't be the only one who finds it bizarre that while the former President was nearly assassinated, we have:
   •Zero insight on what caused the security fail
   •Zero investigation announced into the failure
   •Zero update on what his actual injuries were/are

   This makes no sense. How are we operating in complete darkness like this?

     OK this is an encouraging step I missed: House Oversight panel subpoenas Secret Service director to testify on Trump assassination attempt https://apnews.com/article/trump-assassination-attempt-inspector-general-secret-service-045449b3e8f3ab7326cb779f416f83fd

     I still want to understand what his actual injuries were/are. Why is that being kept secret?

     The hero worship on the mainstream media is very odd. Almost like they are using it as an excuse to change their view on him.

     @QasimRashid
     I'm a big believer in Hanlon's razor: it's probably not safe to assume malice when incompetence is sufficient to explain events. Trump has the power to select which SS agents protect him, and he has a habit of choosing loyalty over competence because he is a lifelong criminal.

     Thus, it is not a stretch to speculate that the SS agents around him are incompetent goobers. Did you see them grinning while Trump exposed his head to the crowd for that photo?

     @QasimRashid We live in an era of mass shootings and he didn't die.

     @QasimRashid Not in dark. Simply, a) building w shooter was outside of SS's area of responsibility, b) was responsiblity of local police c) local police saw man, could not get to him, d) probably did notify SS about man on roof (lack of communications?) e) a man walking around w an AR-15 is probably NOT an issue in Pennsylvania. Got to protect yourself!

     @mxtthxw He is the most public con artist in the US. Nothing he says or does can be trusted. All we know is that he wants us to think that his ear was shot. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't.

     @QasimRashid I think it’s fairly obvious he hurt his ear right?

     @QasimRashid biden announced investigations have started but he's an institution guy so he's not going to press for info to be made public or leak anything through his own team, even though he probably should.

     something i _do_ keep wondering is why didn't trump's people get him to take a break for a few minutes while checking things out. the cell phone video and people who were there say they were telling the police for at least 4 minutes that somebody was crawling around the other roof. police didn't need to go in guns blazing or be heroes or make split second decisions or anything crazy if they just told trump to take a short break while they checked things out.
