12:44 pm

hurshy

they arrested another guy for threatening to kill trump

12:44 pm

hurshy

a guy who worked for the FAA

12:44 pm

hurshy

and used his WORK COMPUTER to search for info on how to do this

12:45 pm

hurshy

which he admitted was "crazy" after being arrested

12:46 pm

hurshy

like, yeah, just a smidge on the dumb side

12:47 pm

Gillie

From what I've read, he genuinely is crazy

12:48 pm

Gillie

He had incoherent messages written at home that included the phrase "kill Donald Trump"

12:48 pm

phaeton

isn't that what government employees usually are?

12:49 pm

Gillie

and one of his search phrases was something like "I am going to kill Donald Trump", which doesn't seem likely to be useful

12:50 pm

Gillie

not to mention e-mailing the White House to say the same thing

12:51 pm

Gillie

It almost sounds like he wanted to be arrested for some reason

12:54 pm

BzznBea

It would be interesting to know if he had any commendations or reprimands in his past.

could the FAA employee, DelleChiaie, be a plant, since everything he did, and where he did it from, was easy to locate, another case to 'build the ballroom', there are too many of these out there

1:12 pm

hurshy

what would be the point of a plant who doesn't do anything but email?

1:13 pm

hurshy

hey Champ, can you clue that pe7? looks like that's my last P word

1:14 pm

ChampFit

Add the smetimes vowel in the middle of one of the pe6/21's. The second one...it's a bird I think.

1:16 pm

moolingwa

well first pass and still 70 left, gonna be a slow one

1:16 pm

wingding

give another reason to build the stupid ballroom for security ... i doubt any other president has had as many attempts on their life .... either the shooters are stupid, bad shots, or left too many bread crumbs ... i'm am not a fanatic, but, i've seen a bit of theories leading to 'set-ups' ... writing notes on a bullet ?? who does that ?? WWII flight jockeys did that on bombs

1:16 pm

ChampFit

Yes...so many ways to go!
