Breaking news: Trump safe after shots fired near Palm Beach golf club 2024/09/15

Especially at his courses. It’s probably written in the club bylaws.

Not addressing the use of the backpacks as armor, but pointing out that these regular rectangular objects hung on the fence may have tipped an agent to something funny up there…

“What the hey…gimme the binoculars”!

This guy was even more addled than we have guessed - at least he hadn’t clipped a red bicycle warning light to them…

Dan

He should have. The whole point of the light is so you won’t get hit.

Very nice! Dan

Routh apparently offered $150,000 to anyone that can finish the job. Hopefully any would-be assassins consider the logistics of acquiring the reward money.

Part of the note reads, “This was an assassination attempt on Donald Trump but I failed you. I tried my best and gave it all the gumption I could muster. It is up to you now to finish the job; and I will offer $150,000 to whomever can complete the job.”

And can muster enough gumption.

What’s the dollar to gumption rate nowadays?

When did he write this?

I had plenty of gumptions but some of them wouldn’t muster, not even when the general came for an inspection. :worried:

He wrote and put that note at a friend’s house “months ago”.

Wow. $150.000!

“If you want to give Ringo less, it’s up to you.”

The case has been assigned to Judge Aileen Cannon.

I guess we’ll see how fast a criminal case can move when she feels like it.

I expect he’ll be drawn and quartered by the end of the week.

Of course it has. Good grief.

We will soon witness a judge encourage the prosecution to paint him as a democratic stooge who was part of a deep state operation to appear as a MAGA follower initially as a spy.

And right before the election. It will move fast so they can nake political hay.

Oran Alexander Routh was arrested this week after authorities searched his Greensboro, North Carolina, home “in connection with an investigation unrelated to child exploitation,” and found hundreds of files depicting child sexual abuse, an FBI agent said in court papers.

Investigators who seized multiple electronic devices found videos sent to Oran Routh in July as well as chats from a messaging application commonly used by people who share child sexual abuse material, the FBI agent said.

Today I heard the guy from PA who took a shot at Trump called an “alleged assassin”. Um, ah, er, but …

Sounds like that in the normal course of investigating people connected to the assassin that they came across information that they were obligated to report. Most likely he wanted to distance himself from his dad and gave them permission to examine his devices. The douchbag should have lawyered up, too bad.

If the FBI was under trump’s thumb I’d assume all the child-porn evidence was planted. I predict that will be a very common police MO if he gets in.

Since the FBI is still (mostly) honest, I guess the son is probably as much of a crazy douche as Dear Old Dad.
