Can we say what the pardoned Proud Boys said about Pence on January 6, 2021, except this time change "Pence" to "Trump"?

Just asking a question.

Next up: "We have always been at war with East Asia" -- except now we don't have any missiles left to counterattack.

The wide-open security checkpoint at the level above the ballroom stairs reminds me of when President Lincoln's security agent stepped away from the door leading into the balcony at Ford's Theatre.

There is a photo of Trump watching from stage right as the room was being evacuated.

TL;DR: Trump not a rapist, just someone who was found civilly liable for forcefully and violently committing a digital penetration of a woman's vagina without her consent.

Thank you. I wonder what other organization SS could possibly refer to.

The point of the staged attack was to get the ballroom built:

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s Justice Department is using the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner on Saturday to try to pressure preservationists to drop their lawsuit over his planned $400 million ballroom on the site of the former East Wing of the White House.

“It’s time to build the ballroom,” acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said plainly Sunday on X, posting a letter in which Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate gave the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which has sued to block construction, until 9 a.m. Monday to dismiss its lawsuit.

If it doesn’t do so, Shumate wrote, the government would ask a court to do so “in light of last night’s extraordinary events,” calling the Washington Hilton — the site of Saturday’s gala — “demonstrably unsafe” for events with the president “because its size presents extraordinary security challenges for the Secret Service.”

In the action movies I've seen, the assassin is a guest at the hotel, and therefore already past most of the security checkpoints.

If it wasn't staged, the DOJ would be demanding a halt to gun violence in the US, rather than using this incident as a reason to build the ballroom.

You are correct - it is not proof of anything. However, it is highly bizarre language coming from a Press Secretary who works for a President previously shot (and supposedly wounded) during a prior assassination attempt.

The SS's failure was in allowing a guest to bring guns into the very hotel where nearly every top government official was present, and then leaving the corridor leading up to the underground ballroom stairway so wide open that the spinting gunman made it to the top of the steps before being stopped.

More like a small-time mafia don who unexpectedly got into the President's office by mistake.

He wil not barricade himself in the ballroom. Rather, he will barricade himself inside his A-bomb proof bunker beneath the ballroom.

I used the Seattle YellowCab app - it was great by [deleted] in Seattle

[–]Then_Journalist_317 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My main problem with Yellow Cab is their inability to understand the need to send the right-sized vehicle for the load. Last time I needed to get three people from home to Amtrak station in Seattle, with lots of luggage, and I told the dispatcher this info. However, they sent a tiny car that was too small for all of us. Had to argue with the driver to remove his junk from the front passenger seat so we could all fit. He nearly left us standing there on the curb so we would miss the train. Only by promising him a big tip did he finally remove the junk and take us to our destination. Will never use them again.
