Alexander Vindman's wife has to be the most ugly and disgusting person in America. Those two deserve each other.

I heard someone indicate that you can find out if Trump's plane is in town and guess that he will play golf that day.  I guess it depends whether he was there for a while waiting or showed up a short time before.  That latter might indicate he had other information.

I would certainly think I could put rounds from a pistol in the general area code. Most I've routinely done was at 100.  But, dude in the bushes needs to know he's being shot at. Unless the cover is kicking up in his face the pistol bullets going by are not as obvious as a rifle bullet going past. I've never been shot at but sitting in the pits pulling targets is an education.  Doesn't take long to know where the bullets were.

Reportedly he was there waiting for almost 12 hours

Quote
Ryan Wesley Routh, the alleged would-be Trump assassin, set up a sniper’s nest near the former President’s golf course and hid there for nearly 12 hours before the apparent ambush attempt, federal prosecutors said Monday.

Routh’s cell phone pinged to the spot on the edge of Trump International West Palm Beach starting from 1:59 a.m. on Sunday, the federal criminal complaint said.

And they're finally saying SKS but also this media gem

Quote
SKS-style rifles are not manufactured in Florida and the weapon was either brought in from another state or country, the complaint reads.

JHC, do some research before writing stuff like that.  :facepalm:
Yeah, it was brought into the country something like 30-50 years ago.
My head hurts now

Do we know where Trump was at the time of the supressive fire?  I've seen it said that he was 300-500 yds away, I've also seen it reported that the advance guard was two holes ahead.  If they were two holes ahead on 5, and Trump was on hole 3, the shooter did not have line of sight yet.  I've seen no indication this was a quick draw spray and pray thing. 

Looking at google maps, and an map of the golf course, the north side of hole 5 is on the border of the club, up against a storm canal.  Much more likely to have the shitty chainlink the pics show than the hedge and what looks like a wall that borders the east side of hole 6.  Depending on where in that north treline you are, you are 318-561 meters from the green on 3.  Which kinda fits reporting. Parts of that tree line has a sight line on all of Hole 4, so you could watch the tee off and pick a shot.  There's also a parking lot where you could park, and get right into the trees without being seen, although that would be pretty ballsy, as to exfil you'd have to drive around the county jail.  Public road, but man, you gotta get out fast.

Amy Swearer has some questions about the (alleged) shooter:

Elon probably didn't think this one all the way through.
He deleted it but the internet is forever
The MSM is going hit him hard for it.

I understand the point of Musk's question, but he worded it badly.  So much so that it can be twisted to appear as though he was trying to incite attempts against Harris or Biden.  The left is going to cream him over it.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
