Rogue helicopter crash into the the stadium?

[-] gdog05@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

That might happen without anyone trying.

[-] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

That would count as regicide.

Secret service must be sweating bullets

I'd say that it's probably one of the easier places, actually, because post-9/11, there's a lot of security at the Super Bowl, whether-or-not a President is there. Like, they already have overhead marksmen and airspace restrictions and stuff, which is the sort of stuff that you'd put on the President at an event.

I believe that the Super Bowl is considered to be a potential target because of its high visibility.

IIRC, even before that, Tom Clancy had one of his books involve terrorists blowing up the Super Bowl with a small nuclear weapon.

Yeah, The Sum of All Fears.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sum_of_All_Fears

The terrorists' plan is to detonate the weapon at the Super Bowl in Denver while simultaneously staging a false flag attack on U.S. military forces in stationed in Berlin by East Germans disguised as Soviet soldiers.

And keep in mind if someone as prominent as Taylor Swift might be there Trump can sort of ride her coat tails security-wise.

[-] Majorllama@lemmy.world 0 points 2 months ago

Hang on do you actually think that Taylor Swifts security detail is better than the fuckin secret service??

After the recent “DEI replacement” cronyism maybe?Would almost bet on him firing anyone competent in favor of yes men.

[-] vaultdweller013@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Probably, not like some kid got a shot at Swift.

[-] Majorllama@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Yes... Because a generally liked pop singer and a highly controversial world leader have the same likelihood for being assassinated.

Or they're scrambling to come up with a better plan

I've been in NOLA for the Superbowl all week (I get to leave Friday) this place is locked down as tightly as DC was during the 2020 elections.

[-] HubertManne@moist.catsweat.com 19 points 2 months ago

how about vance and musk and the doge team. I really think they should all go.

[-] CallMeButtLove@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah. They should all hang out together more often.

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

There was this golden opportunity at the inauguration to get the three biggest billionaire assholes in the world (plus Cook and Pichai) along with Trump and Vance and... for some reason nobody took them up on the offer.

My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day was ruined.

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Only reason I even watched that shit was trying to see that happen live

[-] Skyrmir@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

I'd protest by not watching the game, but I never do anyway.

[-] wildncrazyguy138@fedia.io 10 points 2 months ago

Remember Don, the last time you went to a football game? Remember how that went for you?

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I can't even express how scarred I'd be if someone murdered him...

Please don't, guys...

Murder him, that is...

No. Please. Don't.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

Oh no, please don't harm the fascist... I'd just cry... Totally from sadness and joy.

[-] eugenevdebs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 months ago

I do find it odd no sitting president has before. I get the Super Bowl is relatively new, but it kinda shocks me no other president has.

I guess when you're trying to prove you're not Hitler 2 you gotta look good for the people you're going to send to jail.

"Black Sunday is a 1975 novel by American writer Thomas Harris..."

Hope not, though. Too many innocents.

[-] Infinite@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

The Superdome holds ~75,000 plus staff.

I wonder how many innocents will be killed by multi-bigoted, fascist, patriarchal oligarchs working to make the orphan-shredding machine run on pure-white mandatory babies?

[-] garretble@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Damnit, I wanted to watch the game in peace.
