Why are you assuming the worst of me and not them? How do you know that they didn't understand completely yet twist my words? Why did they only use quotes around "allowed"? Why aren't you questioning them? Their point made no point about me, as you said, I'm not American, but it made a point about Americans, based on what I said, so I made a point about people worldwide, based on what they said. Again, you either need to question them, or assume you were wrong about words being twisted and that we both were just incorrect in our assumptions. Who was and still is in control in the Gov? Were there known threats to Trump or other candidates like RFK? Did RFK not submit a big report showing that to be the case? Was the Gov proactive in making sure those candidates were kept as safe as reasonably possible with beefed up security? When you refuse protection to candidates, especially with the last name Kennedy, until candidates start getting shot at, when the temps are blazing hot which everyone is aware of, you can't help but question the choices the leadership is making. Anyone else we should blame? I remember being told a lot from 2016-2020 that everything boiled down to Trump and it was always his fault because he's the President. Is that not the case anymore? Those members were never questioned about that stance. Should they get some credit for stopping it? Yes. Would most see things the same way if the tables were turned? Highly unlikely. That doesn't change the fact that after one attempt already, a second attempt was well in progress, and shouldn't have ever gotten that far. |

Because you twisted his words into something completely different that he never even came close to saying, meanwhile, he quoted you almost word for word, your response could have been a clarification but it wasn't. You also don't have exactly the best history in Politics, Permabanned from the US Politics thread, Permabanned from the Political Board entirely, both only lifted because there's a day limit on permabans. Criss receives the benefit of the doubt in this situation from me because I know him and because I know you and because Criss quoted your words almost exact. If you say someone "allows" something then Criss interpretation of that is very much a logical one to make.
I'm not answering your 20,000 questions, I know that tactic.
The ones responsible for Trump's security are the security services (shocking), that in these cases would be the Secret Service (Trump's own personal detail) and the local Police, which ironically, the Sherriff of the area was a Republican. I would place no blame on Democrats or Republicans in House/Senate/President or any other forms of political office outside of the security areas. The Secret Service were there and they failed to do their job correctly, the police also failed to secure the area, short of Joe Biden diving in front of the bullet himself there's nothing politicians could have done to prevent the fuck ups of the Secret Service and Police.
The 2nd attempt was a man with a gun going to Trump's golf course, he was nowhere near close to actually shooting Trump and Secret Service found him before he got the chance, Americans with guns isn't exactly a rare occurrence so it is no surprise that it "got that far" when America's entire culture revolves around guns and it being incredibly easy to access them but this was a case of the Secret Service actually doing their job, why? Because they caught dude before he could even get close to Trump and fire a shot, they caught the dude because they were properly patrolling the area, something they didn't do in the 1st attempt.
The Secret Service likely stop dozens of attempts on politicians that we never hear of because that's their job.
