When George H.W. Bush was president, one joke was that if anything happened to him the Secret Service had standing orders to shoot Dan Quayle.
Was that when John Boehner was Speaker of the House? He would have been next in line, yeah?

"During the presidency of George H. W. Bush, which lasted from January 20, 1989, to January 20, 1993, the Speaker of the House of Representatives was Tom Foley. Foley, a Democrat from Washington, served as Speaker from June 6, 1989, to January 3, 1995. He succeeded Jim Wright, who resigned from the position amid controversy." (AI Source)

No, Jim Wright and Tom Foley. Boehner was during Obama's time. |

If the Secret Service, or anyone else, set it up, Trump would be dead. There is no need for conspiracy when "fuck up" explains it so fully. "Fuck up" explains so much so well, there is seldom a need for any other explanation for nearly anything ever. Yep. I’m guessing it was a short period of time between the kid getting on the roof and shooting and the sniper reacting to that had him down quickly. Only criticism I can muster is if you look at the Google earth photo of the scene the building the kid was on fairly screamed “assassins here”. Another thing that popped up on my Google feed is someone is acusing the Secret Service of diverting assets from Trump to cover a Jill Biden event also in Pennsylvania. |

The years are mashing together. I could have simply looked it up.
I am useful for some things, though. I just baked a challah.

The assassination attempt was a pretty good test of Trump’s mental acuity. He quickly processed the situation and realized he had stumbled into the greatest PR opportunity of his life. To say he rose to the occasion would be an understatement.
Chapeau Donald!

Challah is lovely stuff, though I prefer it with raisins, and that that version is no longer available locally. (Ours used to be labeled pareve, though I'm not sure what that might mean for raisins.)

Parve means it's neither meat nor dairy, so this includes raisins. It's kosher to accompany either type of meal. Of course, if you plan on buttering it, the meat platter is right out. We prefer the savory version here, chez howard lee.

To say he rose to the occasion would be an understatement. Chapeau Donald! And to pay respect to those truly injured and killed in the assassination attempt, Trump played golf this morning. |

Thank you, Evan. Now that I've finished dusting and vacuuming, I can loaf.
I wonder what kind of challah Donald Trump likes?

Does McDonald's use challah on Big Macs? |

Only in Williamsburg and Borough Park. Maybe upstate in Monsey.

All of the lists of presidential assassination attempts, even a USA Today list in the Indianapolis Star today, seem to omit Squeaky Fromme trying to kill Gerald Ford.

Didn't occur to me, either Rob. For some reason, I rarely think of Mr. Ford, but his family was illustrious.

AP excerpt:
MILWAUKEE — A company is now selling $299 sneakers showing an image of Donald Trump with streaks of blood on his cheek and pumping his fist in the air after he was the target of an assassination attempt in Pennsylvania.
The white high tops are being sold as ''FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT High-Tops'' for $299 on a website that sells Trump-branded shoes that is run by CIC Ventures LLC, a company that Trump reported owning in his 2023 financial disclosure. The company says the new shoes are limited edition with only 5,000 pairs available and estimated to ship in September or October. It also said 10 pairs will be randomly autographed.
''These limited edition high-tops, featuring Trump's iconic image with his fist raised, honor his unwavering determination and bravery,'' it says. ''With only 5,000 pairs available, each one is a true collector's item. Show your support and patriotic pride with these exclusive sneakers, capturing a defining moment in history.''
CIC Ventures is the same company that debuted ''Never Surrender High-Tops," shiny gold sneakers with an American flag detail on the back, for $399.
The sale is another sign the former president's allies intend to capitalize on how Trump reacted after the shooting at a Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Trump got back to his feet and pumped his fist toward the crowd, mouthing ''fight, fight.''

The shoes reportedly will be able to correct for bone spurs.
