    “Forgetting”. They do not want to start pulling that thread and I suspect that it is because of instructions from above. No one wants any focus on it. Republicans because of why would a republican wanna kill Trump and general gun control? Not an area where they want speculation to start running. As for the Democrats, investigation into what the fuck the secret service was doing will land on them being the sitting government. So under the carpet it goes. Lone maniac and nothing to see. Move on please.

      I think they meant the retired firefighter who was standing behind Trump. No offence, but It’s pretty telling that you also didn’t think of him, as neither did I at first reading.

        Uhm, right. My point still stands, though. You can’t lift any story about this because of what that would drag with it. There’s always questions, who is to blame, who didn’t do their job, what was the motivation of the gunman, lots of little threads to pull on without even trying too hard. If that does become a big story, then the questions are inevitable and no one wants to answer questions about a clusterfuck like that. No one can see a winning angle with any certainty, so they just drop everything about it like the hot potato it is.

        Only Trump wants it, and he can’t have it, poor guy. Makes my day.

      Pretty sure they mean the guy onstage.

      … I also started typing a reply about the gunman, before remembering that dude.
