There are only two real questions to be asked regarding the shooting:

1. How was he allowed such a good shot?

2. How did he miss his target?

The answer to 1, based on some of the very slow responses to other mass shooters, is gross incompetence.

Answer to 2 seems to be he was interrupted by local police and rushed

"A Florida judge has dismissed the US justice department's classified documents case against Donald Trump in a huge victory for the former president just days after a gunman attempted to assassinate him.

Judge Aileen Cannon granted Trump's motion to dismiss the federal case on the basis that the justice department's appointment of special prosecutor Jack Smith violates the Appointments Clause of the US Constitution."

That was my thought, well it certainly would impact me, those who are about to die salute you.

AR 15 type, I have not seen any mention in what it was chambered in, and using a .223 would seem likely but an odd choice.

Bump stock, well then you would spray and praying, not something that would be a good idea in this sort of case.

Which would seem to be a pretty good reason for banning bump stocks, to me. Pity the republicans don't agree...

People that know far more about how the legal system in America works than me seem to think the 11th circuit whatever that is will overturn this without a second thought

Then they'll be a counter appeal, it could run for some time yet.
Though not sure if Trump can kill it if/when he becomes president

Trump picks JD Vance as his running mate​


Donald Trump has announced that Ohio senator JD Vance will be his running mate.
Here’s what the former president wrote, on Truth Social:
After lengthy deliberation and thought, and considering the tremendous talents of many others, I have decided that the person best suited to assume the position of Vice President of the United States is Senator J.D. Vance of the Great State of Ohio. J.D. honorably served our Country in the Marine Corps, graduated from Ohio State University in two years, Summa Cum Laude, and is a Yale Law School Graduate, where he was Editor of The Yale Law Journal, and President of the Yale Law Veterans Association. J.D.’s book, “Hillbilly Elegy,” became a Major Best Seller and Movie, as it championed the hardworking men and women of our Country. J.D. has had a very successful business career in Technology and Finance, and now, during the Campaign, will be strongly focused on the people he fought so brilliantly for, the American Workers and Farmers in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio, Minnesota, and far beyond….

Been very anti Trump in the past, could it be to try and persuade sceptical Republicans to vote for him?
Yes, you could be right, must confess I wasn't aware of how critical he was. He's certainly been very pro Trump in recent years and is a very confident and impressive communicator.

It comes to something where I'm looking at his wiki entry and thinking I expected Trump to pick worse than an anti abortion reactionary!

At least he seems to be vaguely pragmatic and realistic with it... even if he has thought Trump is Americas Hitler (!) Maybe he thinks he can moderate him a bit too.

I do not know if hey will appeal, but the appointment did not follow the required process.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement is it. Thrown out on a technicality, rather than the actual charges being false.

The guy also supported Jan 6th/rigged election theory and has said on record that Ukraine will have to cede territory to Russia.

He just said because Labour won the UK is the first Islamist country with nukes.

Yay moderation.

Haven't followed this thread much, but on a fairly shallow level I was amused at the size of the bandage applied to his wound. The slight cynic in me thought 'make the bandage as large and visible as possible' . Apologies if I am slightly wide of the mark (intended)

And he said that the Biden was deliberately allowing drugs to be smuggled into the country for them to kill MAGA voters.

He could announce probably anyone as VP now and win comfortably, but this pick is likely to just shore up his vote in the mid West.
