slay news reported this morning that a lot of the security were replaced by reserves because the regulars had been working 7 days a week for weeks on end. Also, the available well-trained ones seem to have been replaced to a rally from Jill Biden.

Contrast J13 with the security attending Trump as he entered the RNC convention last night. Sorry; those female agents were simply not ready for prime time. Had there been a second shooter, the rather tardy exit-to-limo could have been a disaster (compounded of course by Trump himself in a political gesture for the ages!)

CNN had video with audio of the shooting and you hear female SS agent say, “What’s happening? What do we do? Where do we go?” Seriously???

No surprise. They only make women look good in Hollywood. In real life a totally different thing.

You make a good point there which suggests there wasn't a second shooter, but isn't it possible that the putative second shooter decided against shooting Trump at that stage because he no longer had the distracting cover of the patsy's shots and therefore risked being discovered.

Exactly. At the very least his security was not prioritized.

That's too coincidental to be a coincidence.

I've heard this -- but wasn't Trump basically just sitting around since the debate? The Democrats were calling him out for playing golf (and not distracting the media from Biden's issues)

I'd heard the Jill thing Sun., hadn"t any back-up. Be terribly handy.
