I think it's called forum sliding.

The discussion is about the apparent security stripping which facilitated the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump. You are repeatedly disrupting that discussion by cluttering the thread with irrelevant partisan political material. Please desist.

Please tell us, Jonathan, how you know for certain that there was no foul play involved in the JFK Jr plane crash.

Thus spake the distinguished 9/11 conspiracist, W. Niederhut.

As I predicted, this is all totally irrelevant to what I said about the gross dereliction of duty by the Secret Service in facilitating the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. Thanks for further validating what I said by again failing to rebut it. Here’s what a former marine intelligence officer has to say about the complicity of the Secret Service in the attempted assassination: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lYrwhCSzV60

All these red herrings by you are (by definition) irrelevant to what I said about the grievous dereliction of duty by the Secret Service in facilitating the attempted assassination of Donald Trump. You have thus admitted your inability to rebut what I said. Sadly, as is your wont, you will probably respond to this post with further irrelevant nonsense.

So, in spite of the assassination attempt, you’re still indulging in the kind of vitriolic (or “stochastic” as you put it) rhetoric, which was undoubtedly a major factor in Trump being targeted for assassination. Do you ever learn? I see where the Director of the Secret Service says that the buck stops with her and that she takes responsibility for the near assassination of Trump and the related fatality and injuries, but that she wouldn’t be resigning. Is the message here that the Secret Service will do a better job next time and there will be a “bullseye” (as Biden put it)? They have to get it right next time, because they'll have hell to pay if Trump becomes POTUS again.

This kind of unofficial drip feed of tendentious and apocryphal information is probably a misdirection. In view of the grievous dereliction of duty by the Secret Service, tantamount to complicity in the attempted assassination, a proper independent public enquiry is necessary. “Independent” in this context means independent of state agencies such as the Secret Service, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security., since at least one state agency was apparently complicit in the crime.

Many thanks for that expansive reply.

Arms for whom? The IRA? Did it have anything to do with the 1970 “Arms Crisis” which threatened to bring down the Irish government and which involved, among others, the Belgian businessman and former SS member Albert Luykx? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Luykx

UN Representative Conor Cruise O’Brien was portrayed very negatively in the Siege of Jadotville film. O’Brien later became an Irish government minister, the editor-in-chief of the Observer newspaper in London and a Unionist politician in Northern Ireland. He became so rabidly opposed to Irish nationalism and the IRA, that I suspect he had British intelligence connections.

It looks like the tail is wagging the dog - Jill Biden effectively dictating to the Democratic Party who its presidential candidate should be. Is there no mechanism within the party for resolving this mess?

Any updates on this? Time is of the essence now for the Democrats.

There seems to be an element of mobbing raising its ugly head again, a coordinated array of disparate negative comments about one individual. It's unseemly and unethical. Please deal with the substantive issues and desist from personal attacks.

When you play the man rather than the ball, you've lost the debate.
