I am a little surprised that there is not more security around him than this.

But I think what really smells fishy is that this little rally in Podunk nowhere was the only one that was nationally broadcast, the only one with counter snipers, and run down the list of strange (I hate to call them coincidences) anomalies.

I heard the SS consists of 8000 agents and has an annual budget of $3 billion. I guess they can’t claim they don’t have enough resources.

I think it depends on whether you consider “intelligence” and “common sense” as resources. I’m just an old crank whose security concerns are just a few people and a dog in a rural village, but the stupidity of the situation in PA actually made me embarrassed.

It embarrassed the whole country and let the world know the SS is inept. The rub is that we the citizens are paying $3 billion a year for this failure.

Could be worse. I mean, it's not like we've been directly funding the Taliban for the past three years, right?
