@RadioFreeTom@MalcolmNance The federal government DOES have a ballroom 2x the size of the one FaTBoY wants to build, less than 1 mile away from the White House
There is a very formative moment for many young people where, once you start to get into more serious rooms, you quickly realize just how human everyone is.
Many of the “accomplished elders” who seem put together and like they have it all figured out, are in reality, also still trying to figure it out. They know a lot, they have reps and experience, but things like insecurity and imposter syndrome tend to stick around.
Many older men aren’t used to being challenged in any way and as a result, can react poorly to it.
Many people put on a facade of having it figured out when they are just as unsure of the future as I am.
Many people struggle to show vulnerability or admit when they don’t know or feel backed into a corner.
These are human characteristics, and regardless of power, access, or experience, they seem to stick around.
The lack of situational awareness, crossfire discipline, and hardening stand out. Officers clumped together, not in a position to fully engage their weapons. No one with a rifle and hard plates outside the ballroom to fight at maximum time and distance from the President.
The White House Correspondents' Dinner security debacle keeps getting more embarrassing for the Trump admin:
1. Cole Allen never fired a shot at Secret Service, yet somehow an agent still took a bullet to his bulletproof vest. The DOJ conspicuously declines to identify who pulled that trigger. It was friendly fire.
2. Secret Service fired 5 rounds at Allen from point-blank range and missed every single one, while fellow agents were standing directly downrange (big no-no). Again, FRIENDLY FIRE.
3. Allen wasn't subdued by trained marksmanship. He was arrested after tripping over his own feet while running toward the ballroom.
