tak ja nebūti tieši pirms tam pagriezis galvu, tur būtu smadzenes pa grīdu. Bet nu jā. trampam tagad nenormāla fora vēlēšanās garantēta. dīvaini tik, ka nākamajā dienā jau rāva golfiņu
Domāju, ka pat ievēlēšana garantēta, tur vairs nav ko likt pretī un demokrāti jau apzinās un sāk atrunāt Baidenu. Es te tā domāju un domāju, bet ja nu te viss ir paredzēts otrādāk un tas, ka Tramps ir par labu Krievijai īstenībā ir krievu puses propagandas kampaņa? Lai Tampu tieši neievēlētu, jo viņš var būt bīstamāks Krievijai, nekā Baidens.
Jo no vienas puses viņš sola vienošanās dažādas, no otras puses viņa izteikumu dēļ NATO valstis palielināja aizsardzības izdevumus, ASV atstāja AFG un atbrīvojās spēki un resursi Taivānas un Eiropas virzieniem un galu galā Tramps deva pavēli noslaucīt krievu drauga Asada bāzi Sīrijā

+1 par nezināmo. Trampam ir diezgan paliels risks normāli apkakāties (ja viņu ievēlēs), kad šis gribēs runāt ar Putinu, bet Putins pateiks, lai pienāk pēc nedēļas un saruna būs nevis ar Putinu, bet ar kādu padoto. Viņam jau liels ego, viņš jau domā tikai tādās kateogrijās, ka visi viņam klanīsies un būs sarunā uz Tu. Viņš, manuprāt, nemaz neizskata iespēju, ka Putins, Sjī u.c. varētu viņu pasūtīt trīs mājas tālāk. Tad viņš pēc tam var apvainoties par sāpinājumu un sākt runāt pretēju dziesmu. | | Offline | | |

| A Blind Spot and a Lost Trail: How the Gunman Got So Close to Trump Even though local police were on the lookout for a suspicious man, critical minutes ticked by, allowing a would-be assassin to slip past, a Times analysis found.
About an hour before a gunman let loose a volley of bullets that nearly assassinated a former president, the law enforcement contingent in Butler, Pa., was on the verge of a great policing success.
Among the thousands of people streaming in to cheer former President Donald J. Trump at a campaign rally on Saturday, local officers spotted one skinny young man acting oddly and notified other law enforcement. The Secret Service, too, was informed, through radio communication. The suspicious man did not appear to have a weapon.
Remarkably, law enforcement had found the right man — Thomas Matthew Crooks, a would-be assassin, though officers did not know that at the time. Then they lost track of him.
Twenty minutes before violence erupted, a sniper, from a distance, spotted Mr. Crooks again and took his picture. As time slipped away, at least two local officers were pulled from traffic detail to help search for the man. But the Secret Service, the agency charged with protecting Mr. Trump, did not stop him from taking the stage. Eight minutes after Mr. Trump started to speak, Mr. Crooks fired off bullets that left the Republican presidential nominee bloodied and a rally visitor dead. The call to let the rally go ahead while law enforcement looked for a potentially dangerous person is one of many Secret Service decisions now being called into question. The agency is also under scrutiny for allowing a building within a rifle’s range to be excluded from its secure perimeter, creating a blind spot close to the former president that the gunman exploited.
“I am appalled to learn that the Secret Service knew about a threat prior to President Trump walking onstage,” Senator Marsha Blackburn, Republican of Tennessee, posted Wednesday on X, after a private briefing with the Secret Service and the F.B.I.
Multiple investigations into the lapses are underway, including one announced by President Biden Sunday. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas called the shooting, which killed one rally visitor and hospitalized two others, a security failure, though he has said Secret Service Director Kimberly A. Cheatle still has his support.
Ms. Cheatle in an interview with ABC News said she takes full responsibility.
Even as investigators continue to examine what happened, it is already clear that there were multiple missed opportunities to stop Mr. Crooks before the situation turned deadly. This account is based on video footage from the rally and statements from numerous federal officials, local law enforcement officers in Butler and members of Congress who were briefed by the F.B.I. and the Secret Service.
On July 8, an advance team walked the site, the Butler Farm Show grounds, to assess a security threat. Agents worked with local law enforcement and explained what the Secret Service would handle and what law enforcement would be expected to do. Crucially, the Secret Service decided that a group of warehouses to the north of the stage would be excluded from the security zone, despite being only about 450 feet from Mr. Trump’s podium. That was within a rifle’s range. That meant the warehouses were assigned to local law enforcement to secure. The Secret Service and the local police had treated the complex of warehouses just north of the rally site as an observation post. It was considered a place from which to watch Mr. Trump’s crowd — not a place that needed to be watched, itself. But that created a blind spot, outside the security perimeter but well within rifle range of Mr. Trump. It was exploited by a gunman with no military training and little subtlety, who showed up early and acted oddly enough that police photographed him and distributed his picture, though with no weapon in view.
“I don’t know whose responsibility that building was,” Butler County District Attorney Richard Goldinger said. “But somebody should have been there.”
It was also unclear how long in advance Mr. Crooks had prepared. Mr. Trump announced his rally in Butler on July 3.
But in the aftermath, when the F.B.I. was able to finally access Mr. Crooks’s cellphones and other electronic devices, agents could see that he had searched for images of Mr. Trump as well as President Biden, Attorney General Merrick B. Garland and even F.B.I. Director Christopher A. Wray.
Mr. Crooks also had at typed in “major depressive disorder” and searched for dates and places for appearances for both Mr. Biden and Mr. Trump.
One of Mr. Trump’s planned appearances happened to be about 50 miles from Mr. Crooks’s house in Bethel Park, Pa.
On Friday, July 12, the day before the attempted assassination, Mr. Crooks went to a shooting range, according to an investigative summary prepared by the F.B.I. The next morning, he bought a ladder at a Home Depot and then later that day he purchased 50 rounds of ammunition from a gun shop near his home, according to the F.B.I. document and federal law enforcement officials. In his car, a Hyundai Sonata, Mr. Crooks brought an AR-15 style rifle, bought by his father more than a decade earlier. And he brought two homemade bombs, in which a potentially explosive mixture of fertilizer and fuel was packed inside empty ammunition cans that were roughly the size of a toolbox.
The bombs were fitted with a remote-control receiver — the type typically used to set off fireworks displays remotely — according to another federal government report seen by The Times. The report said the bombs appeared designed to be set off by a remote control. He brought that, too.
Mr. Trump’s rally in Butler was supposed to start at 5 p.m., though Mr. Trump did not go onstage for another hour after that. Video obtained by Pittsburgh’s WTAE-TV appears to show that Mr. Crooks was there by at least 5:06 p.m.
The video suggests that Mr. Crooks walked around in front of the warehouse building he would eventually use as a sniper’s perch. He appeared unarmed and unhurried, looking toward the rally site with a hand in his pocket.
The officer took a photo of him and circulated it around officers at the rally. The official said that local officers tried to follow the suspicious man, but lost track.
It was about 20 minutes before the shooting.
At some point, Mr. Crooks climbed onto the roof of a warehouse, building No. 6 of a complex of interconnected corrugated-metal buildings used by an equipment company, AGR International.
The location had obvious advantages to a would-be sniper: a clear, elevated line of sight toward the stage where Mr. Trump would stand. Ms. Cheatle said no officers were stationed on the roof itself because of safety concerns arising from the roof’s slope. There were conflicting accounts of how Mr. Crooks got up to the roof. A Secret Service spokesman said Wednesday that he had climbed up to the roof on his own, perhaps by using an air-conditioner. Federal investigators believe that he did not use a ladder even though Mr. Crooks had bought one that morning.
At 6:03 p.m. Mr. Trump appeared, waving to the cheering crowd. Six minutes later, with Trump now energetically speaking onstage, witnesses noticed Mr. Crooks crawling into position on the roof. They alerted local officers, who patrolled the area outside the Secret Service’s perimeter.
It was two minutes before the shooting.
Onstage, Mr. Trump continued speaking, seemingly unaware.
But around him, the Secret Service contingent frantically began to respond, shifting its focus from scanning the crowd to scanning the area north of the security perimeter. The sprawling warehouse complex just to the north — the blind spot — was now everyone’s focus.
On a barn directly behind Mr. Trump, a Secret Service counter-sniper team quickly clambered from one side of the peaked roofs to the other. Now, they pointed their rifles at the warehouse about 450 feet to Mr. Trump’s right.
Mr. Crooks was on the warehouse roof, but it is unclear if the Secret Service counter-snipers could see him. A New York Times visual analysis showed that the view for these snipers was likely blocked by the gentle peak of the warehouse’s roof.
Mr. Crooks was still hidden, low-crawling up the other side.
On the ground, officers from the small Butler Township Police Department had been assigned to direct traffic near the warehouse. According to a social media post from Butler Township Commissioner Edward Natali, at least two of the officers left their traffic posts to help look for the suspicious person.
Two officers went to the warehouse, and one officer boosted the other up, so that his head was above the roofline. He and Mr. Crooks saw each other. Mr. Crooks “turned his firearm,” Mr. Natali wrote, but the officer could not fire back: He was holding onto the roof with both hands.
The officer fell backward and was injured, Mr. Natali wrote.
Mr. Crooks reached the peak of the warehouse roof, high enough to see over the top. A witness on the ground yelled: “He’s on the roof! He’s got a gun!”
Then time was up. Mr. Crooks fired his rifle eight times, according to a Times analysis of audio from the scene. His first shot appeared to graze Mr. Trump, bloodying his right ear. Two other rallygoers were injured, and a 50-year-old retired firefighter, Corey Comperatore, was killed.
Afterward, a Secret Service sniper on the south barn killed him with one shot. A local police officer in another part of the area also fired at him, but it was unclear if his bullet struck Mr. Crooks, according to the Butler County district attorney.
When the police reached Mr. Crooks’s body on the roof, he had no identification on him. Officers traced the serial number on his rifle to his father. In his pocket, he carried a remote control to the bombs in his car.
It was not clear if he had tried to use it, or if the bombs were made well enough to explode.

| People Close to Biden Say He Appears to Accept He May Have to Leave the Race One person familiar with President Biden’s thinking cautioned that he had not yet made up his mind to leave the race, after three weeks of insisting that almost nothing would drive him out.
Several people close to President Biden said on Thursday that they believe he has begun to accept the idea that he may not be able to win in November and may have to drop out of the race, bowing to the growing demands of many anxious members of his party.
One of the people close to him warned that the president had not yet made up his mind to leave the race after three weeks of insisting that almost nothing would drive him out. But another said that “reality is setting in,” and that it would not be a surprise if Mr. Biden made an announcement soon endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris as his replacement.
This account is based on interviews with four people close to the president, all of whom described the situation as extremely delicate and spoke on the condition of anonymity to avoid offending the president. Mr. Biden remained in isolation at his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Del., after being diagnosed with Covid on Wednesday.
Many other Democrats more distant from the White House said expectations were rising within the party that the president would soon relent, a shift from just days ago when many were in despair about changing his mind. But there was also caution about reading signs from a president with an exceedingly small circle of confidants.
The latest Democratic defection to become public came from Representative Jamie Raskin of Maryland, a key member of the House committee that investigated the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. A letter he sent to Mr. Biden on July 6 and obtained by The New York Times on Thursday compared the 81-year-old commander in chief to a tiring baseball pitcher and urged him to consult with fellow Democrats about whether to continue his campaign. “Everything we believe in is on the line in the next four and a half months,” Mr. Raskin wrote. White House officials denied that the president was moving toward dropping out, dismissing reports to the contrary as a result of a coordinated campaign of leaks by Democratic leaders to escalate the pressure on Mr. Biden. While they said he was listening to the concerns and taking them seriously, he had not changed his mind about pulling out and made clear to aides in the last 24 hours that he remained determined to stay in the race.
Mike Donilon, Mr. Biden’s longtime senior adviser and one of his most loyal confidants, has told the president that the race remains competitive despite Democratic doubts and some of the public polls, insisting that there is still a path to victory, according to other advisers. The president’s family has also been supportive of him sticking it out, noting his long history of overcoming the odds and defying skeptics.
Proud and stubborn, Mr. Biden keeps a mental checklist of all the times he has succeeded after being told that he could not and he tends to dig in the more he is pushed to change. But the mounting demands to step aside now come not from ancillary players or media commentators but from the very Democrats who have been his most important allies over the last several years. For a president who has prized his relationships on Capitol Hill, it reflects an extraordinary fall from grace.
Understanding his psychology and sensitive to his current illness, several people familiar with the discussions said those close to him were hesitant to press him for an answer while he was suffering from Covid. His doctor said on Thursday that he did not have a fever but was experiencing respiratory symptoms.
Mr. Biden’s deliberations came as the crisis engulfing his presidency intensified and the president was confronted directly with polls showing that his donors were abandoning him and he was losing badly in all of the battleground states. Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the former speaker and one of the president’s most loyal supporters, has told him that she is pessimistic about his chances, marshaling her knowledge of the political map, polling data and fund-raising to press her case. In a recent call, when Mr. Biden insisted he had polls showing he could win, Ms. Pelosi said “put Donilon on the phone,” so she could cite her own polls showing the opposite — a direct challenge to the president and an implication that he was not being fully informed.
A spokesman for Ms. Pelosi did not deny that she had shared with the president data that showed he could not win and pressed him on what other data he could be basing his decision on.
“Speaker Pelosi respects the confidentiality of her meetings and conversations with the president of the United States,” the spokesman said. “Sadly, the feeding frenzy from the press based on anonymous sources misrepresents any conversations the speaker may have had with the president.”
The political drama surrounding Mr. Biden’s future deepened even as former President Donald J. Trump prepared to formally accept his party’s nomination on the final day of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and the president was said to be suffering from mild symptoms from Covid. After Mr. Biden landed in Delaware on Wednesday night, the president paused, waved and said, “I am doing well.” He has begun taking Paxlovid, a treatment that may reduce the symptoms of Covid.
Publicly, the president’s team pressed forward. Vice President Kamala Harris traveled to North Carolina for a campaign rally in which she made the case for Mr. Biden’s second term.
Andrew Bates, a White House spokesman, rejected the notion that the president might step aside for Ms. Harris or another Democrat. “The president told both leaders he is the nominee of the party, he plans to win and looks forward to working with both of them to pass his 100-days agenda to help working families,” Mr. Bates said. T.J. Ducklo, a campaign spokesman, added, “He’s running for re-election, and that will not change until he wins re-election.”
But while only 21 Democratic members of Congress, and no congressional leaders, have publicly called for Mr. Biden to drop out, many more have privately said he should. And while those conversations, and the talks between congressional leaders and Mr. Biden, were initially kept under tight wraps, they are beginning to be discussed more openly, a sign that impatience is growing in the face of the president’s defiant refusals to step aside. Senator Chuck Schumer and Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the two top Democrats in Congress, each told Mr. Biden privately over the past week that their members were deeply concerned about his chances in November and the fates of House and Senate candidates should he remain at the top of the ticket, according to two people briefed on the conversations. The mood inside the White House and at the president’s campaign headquarters in Wilmington, Del., was grim on Thursday as developments came in rapid-fire succession throughout the day.
Joe Scarborough, the host of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” program and one of Mr. Biden’s biggest supporters, all but called for him to drop out of the race.
Citing polls showing that Democrats are struggling in key states and warnings from longtime donors that Mr. Biden’s financial support has dried up, Mr. Scarborough said it was time for people around the president to “step up at this point and help the president, and help the man they love, and do the right thing.”
“This is not going to end well if it continues to drag out,” he said.
At the White House and on the Biden campaign, senior staff members are increasingly worried that Mr. Biden could lose Virginia, a state that last backed a Republican for president two decades ago and is no longer typically regarded as a presidential battleground, according to a senior Biden aide who insisted on anonymity to speak candidly about internal assessments.
The senior Biden aide said that at the campaign and the White House, senior staff members were increasingly, if informally, discussing among themselves their sense that Mr. Biden’s exit from the race was starting to feel inevitable — a matter of when and how, not if. Those conversations were taboo as recently as a few days ago, the person said.
But Quentin Fulks, Mr. Biden’s deputy campaign manager, denied that the president was more receptive to calls to step out of the race.
“Our campaign is not working through any scenarios where Biden is not at the top of the ticket,” Mr. Fulks said on Thursday. “We look forward to him accepting the delegates in Chicago.” But the campaign was quietly testing head-to-head polling between Ms. Harris and Mr. Trump, as reported last week.

| Biden Drops Out of Presidential Race, Bowing to Intense Pressure From Democrats President Biden wrote on social media that he was ending his campaign for re-election. He did not name a preferred replacement on the ticket.
Former President Donald J. Trump, fresh off his nominating convention and all of the exposure that came with it, held a boisterous rally in Grand Rapids, Mich., on Saturday, the first with his new running mate, Senator JD Vance of Ohio, and his first since an assassination attempt against him just over a week ago.
President Biden spent the day sequestered at his beach house in Delaware, sidelined by Covid at perhaps the most crucial moment of his embattled re-election campaign, dismissing calls for him to step aside and contemplating the best path forward.
At his rally in Michigan on Saturday, Mr. Trump appeared to leave behind his call for national unity that came after the assassination attempt, hurling insults at Mr. Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. He also jeered at the Democratic Party’s infighting over Mr. Biden’s candidacy.
In recent days, Mr. Trump has projected himself as a president-in-waiting, speaking by phone with President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine on Friday and using an image of the White House as a backdrop for his convention speech on Thursday. He has another rally scheduled for Wednesday in North Carolina.
At the same time, Mr. Biden continues to grapple with a slow drip of calls from Democrats to leave the race. His team has rebuffed those entreaties, saying that his skeptics constitute a small group and that Mr. Biden is eyeing his return to the campaign once he gets the “green light” from his doctors. The White House released an update on his condition on Saturday, saying that he had a “cough and hoarseness” but that “his symptoms continue to improve steadily.”
Here is what else to know:
Calls to drop out: Representative Mark Takano of California on Saturday joined the list of Democrats asking for President Biden to end his campaign, adding that he would support Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee. Senator Sherrod Brown of Ohio, a vulnerable Democrat who would be one of the most affected candidates should Mr. Biden be defeated decisively in the fall, became on Friday the fourth senator to call on the president to drop out of the race. He was joined that day by Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico and nine more House Democrats.
Anxious donors: Vice President Harris participated in a campaign fund-raiser on Saturday afternoon in Provincetown, Mass., at a time when donations to the campaign from major donors have slowed. She tried to buck up the Democratic Party’s biggest donors on Friday, telling about 300 of them that there was little to worry about in Mr. Biden’s campaign. But several listeners said they had found the meeting overall to be of little value and even, at times, condescending, believing that the message ignored donors’ legitimate concerns about the Biden-led ticket.
Biden’s decision throws the 2024 race into disarray. Here’s the latest.
President Biden, 81, abandoned his bid for re-election and threw the 2024 presidential contest into chaos on Sunday, caving to relentless pressure from his closest allies to drop out of the race amid deep concerns that he is too old and frail to defeat former President Donald J. Trump.
After three weeks of often angry refusals to step aside, Mr. Biden finally yielded to a torrent of devastating polls, urgent pleas from Democratic lawmakers and clear signs that donors were no longer willing to pay for him to continue.
Mr. Biden’s decision abruptly ends one political crisis that began when the president delivered a calamitous debate performance against Mr. Trump on June 27. But for the Democratic Party, Mr. Biden’s withdrawal triggers a second crisis: who to replace him with, and specifically whether to rally around Vice President Kamala Harris or kick off a rapid effort to find someone else to be the party’s nominee.
The announcement by Mr. Biden, who is isolating with Covid, came just three days after Mr. Trump delivered an incendiary, insult-laden speech accepting his party’s nomination for a chance to return to the White House for a second term. Mr. Trump, who has been preparing for a rematch with Mr. Biden for years, will now face a different — and as yet, unknown — Democratic opponent, with only 110 days left until Election Day.
Here’s what to know:
Staying in office: Mr. Biden said he will not resign the presidency, and intends to finish out his term even as he leaves it to others to try and defeat Mr. Trump. Over the next several months, the president faces the ongoing war in Ukraine and the increasingly desperate efforts to reach a negotiated deal to end the fighting between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.
A political first: No sitting American president has dropped out of a race so late in the election cycle. The Democratic National Convention, where Mr. Biden was to have been formally nominated by 3,939 delegates, is scheduled to begin Aug. 19 in Chicago. That leaves less than a month for Democrats to decide who should replace Mr. Biden on the ticket and just under four months for that person to mount a campaign against Mr. Trump.
Spotlight on Harris: The president’s decision puts the vice president under renewed scrutiny, with some Democrats arguing that she is the only person who can effectively challenge Mr. Trump this late in the election. And they say the party will fracture if Democratic leaders are seen as passing over the first Black vice president. But others argue that the Democratic Party should avoid a coronation, especially given Ms. Harris’s political weaknesses over the last three-and-a-half years.
Age a chief concern: Mr. Biden’s re-election bid was brought down by longstanding concerns about his age and whether he remains physically and mentally capable of performing the job. Even before the debate, polls consistently showed that people thought he was too old, and majorities — even of Democrats — wanted someone younger to be president. Mr. Biden was born during World War II and was first elected to the Senate in 1972, before two-thirds of today’s Americans were even born. Mr. Biden would have been 86 at the end of a second term.
The debate moment: The White House and aides closest to Mr. Biden denied for years that his age was having any impact on his ability to do his job. But the debate with Mr. Trump in late June, which was watched by more than 50 million people, put his limitations clearly on display. He appeared frail, hesitant, confused and diminished, and was unable to make the case against Mr. Trump, a convicted felon who tried to overturn the last presidential election.
While Biden’s age has been a major point of focus, another issue dogging his candidacy has been inflation. Prices increased rapidly in 2022 and 2023, leaving price levels much higher than they were just a few years ago and undermining economic confidence among voters. Although inflation was global, many households have at least partly blamed the administration for the hit to their wallets.

Democrats are now in uncharted territory, with their nominee having dropped out of the race less than four months away from the general election. For months, top Republicans have said that the Democrats would replace President Biden with a younger candidate, saying that Biden’s age and frequent verbal stumbles would disqualify him in the eyes of voters.

| Donors supportive of Vice President Kamala Harris immediately began making the case for her nomination. “The protocols, politics, and electoral strategy all dictate that the party should rally behind the vice president to be the standard bearer this fall,” Steve Phillips, a San Francisco lawyer and major Democratic donor, said in a text message. “Harris will energize and excite voters of color whose dissatisfaction with Biden was what was weighing down his numbers.”
