Why didn’t they Ss protect the roof top or at least look into the complaint from rally goers that they seen a guy with a rifle on the roof ?, something sounds off with the security, and a 150’ shot could have been devastating for a real marksman, glad Trump is ok and it just secures my vote even more .

People are human and thus prone to mistakes. I heard in the snip I watched that the gunman was outside the 200-foot perimeter that the SS secured. Maybe that is fake news, maybe not. I wasn't there.

Fire them all , secret service, FBI , the whole group .
that’s their job , no mistakes when it come to life and protecting,
it’s like saying to a pilot don’t make any mistakes while flying 100 of people , NO Excuse.

Drove the truck yesterday. I figure about 28 miles or so all on freeways. Made a loop of it. Engine runs great. Plenty of power, no misfires, or hiccups. Even found out the cruise control works! I was pushing the wrong button to set it. 
Took about 35 minutes to do the loop on a light traffic Sunday morning before church. Tomorrow, I am planning on doing the loop twice in a row, then getting it checked at the repair shop to see if I can take it in for the smog test or need to put more miles on it. Still waiting for the scooter guy to come out and evaluate the situation. Since they nor the VA work on the weekends I didn't expect anything to happen until today. Going to call the repair tech place and find out when they can send someone. Other than that, no news to report. Apartment AC is still working, so I am staying inside as much as possible.
