Pretty much every presser I've watched has followed the same pattern.

The public official gives opening remarks. Then opens up for questions and calls on reporters, one by one and answers questions and sometimes takes follow ups. It's very rare to have some random show up, aggressively move toward the podium, without established credentials (like his security pin - if I were to barge in there and claim to be a Senator should I just get immediate access?). All of the other reporters were following protocol. Waiting for her to finish her remarks and then trying to get called on for a question. Apparently, because (D), Noem should have immediately stopped speaking and Padilla should have been allowed unfettered PHYSICAL access (he outweighs her by roughly 100 pounds) and he should have been allowed to take control of the entire presser and her security detail needed to just back away and let him do whatever he wanted.

This is insane.

I plan on taking about that with the son we're expecting in October ... .

2 sons? YOU got laid more than once???

J/k. Congrats on becoming a father a second time. And good on you for taking some paternity leave.

Great to see you are getting the bigger picture. You and I battle occasionally on this site. Even if those battles are sometimes contentious I will always wish you and your young family nothing but the best and it's really cool that I stumbled on this right at Father's Day.

Not one on this thread who knee jerk blamed MAGA will retract if it turns out this shooter truly is a Walz appointee. Also, the MSM will quickly move on if this shooter contradicts left wing narratives.

He wasn't arrested. He was given 15 minutes with Noem in private and she gave him her number. This was purely a publicity stunt.

I laid out the differences. Either refute it or STFU up already.

You are cherry picking wha5 I quoted. Read it in its entirety.

" Means nothing"

Sure it does. Padilla had no more reason to be there than you I.

" SS knew who they were."

In both cases."

They didn't appear to know who he was when he was removed.

Sycophant's love for Hamas is duly noted.

Well, there is this:

A CNN analyst who once served as an FBI special agent defended some of the tactics used by Secret Service and FBI personnel in their clash with Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) Thursday.

Appearing on CNN's The Arena, security correspondent Josh Campbell said that agents acted appropriately in escorting the senator out of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's press conference after he interrupted.

"From a law enforcement perspective, we're really looking at three separate incidents that happened within a short period of time," Campbell explained. "First, you have the DHS secretary who was addressing the press. This was not a Q&A period, and she was interrupted. She was interrupted by someone who was speaking very loudly. And so her security detail confronts what we obviously now know to be the senator. And at that point, he is now going to be escorted out. You can't interrupt something like that that's already in progress without having those consequences."

" So does this mean Greene and Boebert should've been dragged out of Biden's SOTU and handcuffed?

They were in their chamber. Didn't move toward Biden. SS knew who they were.

Other than that your equivalence is AWESOME in a Snoofy sort of way.

Wel, there is this ... .

Zed is going to be apoplectic over this analysis.

" So Iran can bomb civilians in Israel if they live near military commanders? It can bomb hospitals if a military commander is there? How about a school if a military commander is visiting his kids ...

#34 | POSTED BY SYCOPHANT AT 2025-06-13 10:41 AM | REPLY"

A general visiting a school is not the same as Hamas setting up military operations in a school.

This is a really bad take on your part.

What happened that caused you to become such a miserable person?

" It was clearly mostly boos in those clips"

It didn't sound that way to me. But I don't care. The only reason I weighed in is because the thread characterization didn't jive with what I saw.

Zed believes secret service should have allowed him to beat the ---- out of Noem before intervening because Zed is a hyper-partisan ghoul.

Fact is, once he was subdued he was wasn't roughed up or arrested. And Noem gave him 15 minutes of her time which is far more than any time me journalist was granted during that presser.

I knew the DR lefties would side with Iran.

This poll number does not shock me.

Hundreds of J6ers were waved in by capitol police, wandered around for a half hour or so and had the book thrown at them.

"Nobody is above the law"

This reminds me of the congresswoman who assaulted ICE officers, denied it, played the victim card and now a grand jury has indicted her.

Twoothy is a beta cuck incel. Hall of Fame in that department.

Here are the two clips I saw

I forgot to mention looting.

" What the actual does that have to do with this?"

It was an excuse to link a badass video. Nothing more.

" and largely peaceful with, as usual, a minority of people using it as a reason to be criminal"

Arson, vandalism, assaulting police including throwing bricks at police cruisers (which can be deadly), using Molotov cocktails as weapons, riding a motorcycle through a group of cops ... .That's "mostly peaceful to CNN and Baghdad Bob's for the left like JPW.

Democrats seem to think they can do whatever they want, whenever they want and then everybody must accommodate them.
