that clearly is not the intention, at some point Arabs decided the presence of any misrashrakum, I believe that is the name for any non Moslem on Arab land is just haram,

Why has not Israel simply annexed the territories covered by the settlements? Then it wouldn’t be an “occupation” any more, right? Would that be a possible response to this World Court pronouncement?

What explosives did Crooks have or make into his devices?

High explosives (military munitions) are not gunpowder, or anfo. IIRC home made or home making HE is a very dangerous hobby.

Didn’t the Secret Service have Drone jammers covering the area of Trump’s speech? Probably don’t even use them around Biden.

Crooks had explosives in his car so he wasn’t far from being able to create a bomb to drop from a drone or a suicide drone. Agencies like the FBI & Secret Service seem to be far behind times…

Regarding the 1/3 of Democrats who believe the assassination attempt was staged by Trump;

that was the point I was trying to make here: https://www.thenewneo.com/2024/07/19/open-thread-7-19-24-2/#comment-2751238

If Crooks were the world’s most talented marksman and Trump the world’s most gifted contortionist there is no way to stage the timing of a shot like that to graze Trump’s ear; setting up Trump’s iconic, defiant response and the images that are driving Dems crazy.

Yet 1/3 of Democrats believe it was staged because it seems too good to be possible. Sometimes crazy, absolutely crazy, unbelievable things happen. This has nothing to do with whether Crooks should have been there, or been able to take the shot, or if Trump should have been on the stage when the SS knew there was a possible threat. I’m solely focusing on the shot and Trump’s reaction. So unbelievably perfect it absolutely looks staged. But it could not have been staged.

Yet, many people will go to their graves believing it was staged. It’s the same point you often make about the Kennedy assassination; it is possible a lone nut job got three shots off at a President whose motorcade took a slow turn in front of the office building where the nut job randomly took a job weeks before.

It doesn’t seem possible, but the fact it doesn’t seem possible should not eliminate the possibility that it happened. Today, many Trump haters are looking at how amazingly good Trump performed throughout the incident and the fact that the man they hate literally dodged a bullet and, rather than believe it possible for circumstance to put a man in that position, and for a man to react as Trump did, they will convince themselves it was the most impossible staged event in human history.
