      In order to prevent foul reactions being immortalized in broadcasts, MSNBC pulled Morning Joe, Biden’s favorite talk show, today. Also Comedy Central cancelled the Daily Show’s planned coverage of the Republican convention.

      So much courage and conviction. Really inspiring.

        How about including apologetics for the Secret Service amongst the foul reactions? Here’s a retired agent on Fox News making two points and not granting, yet, that any important mistakes were made:

        Link to video

        1. The range the sniper teams were surveillng might have been very large. The rooftop the shooter occupied, even though it was the closest rooftop to Trump, was still only a very small piece of the area the snipers were responsible for.

        2. The secure perimeter may not have extended to that closest rooftop. Maybe the Secret Service subcontracted that area out to local law enforcement.

        So basically there are no justifications for the security lapse that would pass the sniff test of a child.

        I don’t think there was any intentional lapse here, I just think we have to recalibrate our esteem for the secret service over this. This was a fucking joke of a catastrophic face plant.

        Interesting factoid ..FOX reported this afternoon, there was no ladder.

          Now, if that's true, his did the guy get on the roof?

              Like I said, they said no ladder.

              The cop had to get one

              Now, that could be wrong reporting...But hearings start next week, I believe.

                @Jolly Maybe free climb? DOnt know what the outside of the building looked like, but maybe window frames, etc. Or, would there have been access from the inside?

                      That’s a little sad. Jack and Kyle go back a long way and that reads like the end of the friendship. I have to assume cracks had been appearing well before then.

                          From what I heard, Jack gave an "Okay!" to that...

                            They can say what they want. The guy had a 5ft ladder.
