Secret Service under fire

Then they better rethink. I hunted with several guys that shot bowling pins at 300 yards.
Check out the M4 qualification card:
You can be a half-notch above piss-poor and still hit center mass reliably from a prone position at 150 meters (about 165 yards). I am a mediocre shot and I've never missed a prone shot at less than 300 yards on a standing (not running) deer or bigger animal. Two guys I hunted with never missed a shot (that I know of) at a running deer at less than 100 yards.

That’s not how indictments work.

Didn’t we have an over/under on this resignation?
I seem to remember saying August 1st. I was off by a week and a day.

"Shaking and in silence" is a bit dramatic
The best part was the closeup of the puddle forming under her chair, while the sweat dripped from her forehead and onto the table. Her white knuckle death grip on the arms of her chair, her fingernails gouging parts of the finish as she was reduced to quivering tears. Riveting video. The screams at the end, begging God to please make it stop, made me realize that public servanthood is not for everybody. When she finally challenged AOC to a mud wrestling match at the end to settle their difference "like real women", I understood why she was selected as the director of the Secret Service.

That puddle was tears? Figured it was...

Secret Service: "We can't do our job"
Alternate title: "Stay indoors."
Secret Service officials encouraged Donald Trump’s campaign to stop scheduling large outdoor rallies and other outdoor events with big crowds after the assassination attempt on the former president in Butler, Pa., according to people familiar with the matter.
In the aftermath of the shooting, agents from the Secret Service communicated their concerns about large outdoor rallies going forward to Trump campaign advisers, three people familiar with the matter said.
The people familiar with the matter spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private discussions.
For upcoming events, Trump’s team is scouting indoor venues, such as basketball arenas and other large spaces where thousands of people can fit, people familiar with the request said. The campaign is not currently planning any large outdoor events, a person close to Trump said.
A Trump campaign spokeswoman declined to comment. A spokesman for the Secret Service said the agency does not comment on its protective methods.
Trump has held hundreds of outdoor rallies since launching his first presidential bid, often bragging about — and sometimes falsely inflating — his large crowds. They have become something of a cult favorite among his most passionate fans, with tailgate parties in parking lots, vendors lining open areas near the rally and large parades of traffic, often with gargantuan pickup trucks.
They usually include large rosters of speakers before Trump takes the stage, with crowds sometimes enduring the heat or the cold for many hours. The crowd sometimes departs before Trump, who is regularly late, finishes speaking.
The rallies are often held at airports but are also held at fairgrounds, football stadiums or other large outdoor venues.

I think that if someone really wanted to harm a candidate, they could do so. The fortunate thing is that those who do want to harm a candidate are usually not 100% there mentally.

Or talented. One of the criticisms of Oswald is that no untrained sniper could have pulled off that assassination.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

How is that a criticism? More like mad props.

I was actually surprised at how close the book company window was from where the presidents limo was. I always imagined it was much further away.
(Of course, I could not have made that shot on a moving car, etc. so there was some "skill" definitely involved)
