Secret Service Girlboss Kim Cheatle: We Didn't Have Anyone On the Obvious Sniper Position on the Roof Because the Roof Had a "Slope" and It Was Too Dangerous to Our Girlbosses to Send Them Up There!
Kim Cheatle -- who Jill Biden fought to get installed as the Secret Service Girlboss -- told ABC "News" that she decided not to put anyone on the roof, because a Secret Service agent could have fallen and twisted an ankle!
They're not paid to take those kind of extreme risks!
Kyle Becker
@kylenabeckerNEW: Secret Service director Kim Cheatle, good friend of Jill Biden and the new face of America's competency crisis, didn't post snipers on the roof where Trump was shot at because it was a sloped roof and she was afraid someone might slip and fall.
You can't make this stuff up.
Charlie Kirk
@charliekirk11Unbelievable. Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle now admits that the USSS knew the building 125 yards from President Trump was a huge vulnerability, but didn't station an agent there because it had a "sloped roof."
"That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside."
This is "safetyism" run amok at its absolute worst.
Cheatle shouldn't be trusted with protecting the food court of a shopping mall, let alone the US president. She should resign or be fired IMMEDIATELY.
The mantra of our age is "It gets worse." It's a cliche. But it's true -- it gets worse.
Inside the building? What a perfect place for counter-snipers whose main ability is to shoot at long distances. You know -- outside.
Perfect, Kim! I'm going to nominate you for a DEI = Death award!
Three law enforcement officers were stationed inside the building where a gunman shot former President Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania rally Saturday.Two days after the failed assassination attempt, BeaverCountian.com reported that an officer confirmed "there were three counter-snipers" stationed underneath the same roof where the assailant blew off part of President Trump's right ear. Officers notified the "command center" about the threat before the gunman fatally shot a rallygoer and injured three others, including the Republican presidential nominee.
"A Beaver County police officer warned a command center of seeing a man with a rangefinder before former President Donald Trump was shot on Saturday," reported the website. "The officer had also warned the man was scoping out the roof of the building he was stationed in as a counter-sniper, and that the man returned with a backpack before ultimately scaling the building."
According to CBS, law enforcement even took a picture of him before the gunfire.
"Contrary to reports in national news outlets, officers say the building just outside the security perimeter established by Secret Service was in fact occupied by law enforcement," added BeaverCountian.com.
Federalist CEO Sean Davis summed up the situation on X: "Who gave the order to do nothing until after the assassin shot Trump, killed an innocent man on that stage, and fired round after round after round after round?"
Collin Rugg
@CollinRuggBREAKING: A police counter sn*per team was *inside* the building that Thomas Crooks shot from *during* the sho*ting according to the New York Post.
This just keeps getting more insane.
According to sources who spoke with the Post, Crooks was literally climbing on top of the building where the "watch post" for the sn*pers was located.
"The building, the AGR International Inc. factory in Butler, Pennsylvania, was being used by local police as a "watch post" for sn*pers to scan for threats as the former president spoke onstage only 130 yards away," the Post reported.
Crooks was reportedly spotted at the building 26 minutes before the incident.
But remember, Kim Cheatle had her eyes on the real priority -- protecting her DEI Retard Squad from slipping off a roof with a vicious, widow-maker "slope."
Just look at this slope! I didn't know angles could be that impossibly steep!
Robby Soave
@robbysoaveSecret Service Director Kim Cheatle, on why they weren't stationed on the roof where the assassin fired from: "That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof."
But... the Secret Service officers who killed the assassin were on a different, sloped roof.
This excuse makes no sense. None whatsoever.
And yet, it gets even worse.
It always gets even worse.
Because Jill Biden's very good friend Kim "Frito Bandito" Cheatle might also be allocating more Secret Service agents to protect Jill Biden at one of her little-attended rallies than the likely next president of the United States:
Susan Crabtree
@susancrabtreeA key Secret Service resources question that lawmakers need to drill down in their investigations is what type of resource allocation did Secret managers provide between Trump's Butler Rally and a nearby Jill Biden dinner in Pittsburg that night:
I'm told that Secret Service managers signed off on only two counter snipers for the Butler rally. The USSS spokesman has yet to dispute this, although he's readily tried to dispute my assertion that resources were diverted from Trump to Jill Biden.
Bear with me for this scenario because it's important:
I just got off the phone with Bill Gage, a senior security consultant with Safe Haven Security Group who was a Secret Service agent under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and a lead tactical advance agent for multiple national security events. He told me it is not normal operating procedures to have counter snipers at a first lady dinner held inside a building -- not out of the question, but not usual. It would certainly be unusual to have two two-man counter sniper teams (4 counter snipers altogether) at such a dinner.
If we find out that Jill Biden dinner had more counter snipers and/or a lopsided amount of agents assigned to it compared to Trump's outdoor rally (taking into account the usual number allocated for each type of events) that attracted 50,000 people, then we know that the Secret Service is allocating resources based on an outmoded calculus that a sitting president and a first lady automatically should be given more priority/resources than a former president.
"It's a valid question," Gage told me. "If you research and you find that [Jill Biden] had 30 agents and two CS teams at this dinner, and then you have this event that's outdoors, and they only gave, you know, a skeleton crew, that's definitely a question to ask on who made that decision and why. So it's a valid, valid question." It's not merely a numbers game, though.
Of course it would depend on the normal levels of resources provided to each type of event and the threat level -- and I'm sure you could put a lot of bureaucratic spin on that.
It also depends on if there were any specific recent threats to Jill Biden compared to Trump, but some of this is basic commonsense.
Who doesn't think Trump has more threats than Jill Biden on a regular basis?
Doctor President Jill Biden sure does love the trappings of power that come with the non-job of being First Nursemaid to an invalid.
This is so bad that some people are resorting to suggesting a criminal conspiracy was responsible for the nearly-successful assassination attempt.
I don't believe that, for the usual reason. If you told me that one Secret Service agent had conspired with an assassin, I could consider that possibly a plausible theory, because it's certainly possible that one person is a turncoat ready to conspire to murder a president.
But in this case, we have so many Secret Service agents making baffling decisions that you'd pretty much have to speculate that the entire team, including Kim Cheatle, was part of the plot.
As usual: How do you go about recruiting that many people into a plot to murder the president of the United States? Think about the risks you run by merely hinting to someone about such a scheme, in an effort to recruit him.
But Sean Davis thinks it's possible. I report, you decide.
Sean Davis
@seanmdavNobody wants to hear this because of the implications, but oh well: Joe Biden's security regime deliberately and with malice aforethought created the conditions that led to an assassin shooting Donald Trump in the head. It is by the grace of God that he lived and our nation is not currently in the midst of a violent civil war.
They deliberately starved Trump's security team of the resources it needed. And they did it repeatedly, over many weeks and months.
With Trump's security detail understaffed, under-resourced, and stretched to its limits, Biden's security regime diverted even more resources to a hastily planned Jill Biden event that just happened to be in the area.
Biden's security regime then ordered the most obvious assassination perch in the entire area to remain outside the main security perimeter.
Furthermore, Biden's Secret Service director ordered law enforcement and counter-snipers OFF the roof that the assassin used.
If that weren't enough, Biden's security regime also refused to block line of sight from the assasssin's perch to Trump's location.
When law enforcement radioed in a suspicious person using a laser range finder at the building and even took photos of him, nothing was done to detain the assassin.
The assassin was so obviously a threat that bystanders at the event begged law enforcement to stop him, but nothing happened.
And even as snipers on the roof near Trump saw a gunman on the roof, Biden's security regime refused to have agents immediately surround Trump and remove him from the stage to protect him from being shot.
Given the lies and nonsense from both Biden's DHS secretary and his Secret Service director, it's increasingly difficult to believe this was a just a series of independent mistakes. In contrast, when you look at the entire picture, what you see better resembles a deliberate plan to make Trump vulnerable but to appear at first glance to be just a couple of innocent mistakes.
And when you add in how little information we've been given about the about the shooter--apparently the only person on earth not on the Internet--you begin to wonder if maybe a group of people at a different three-letter agency might have been working on a parallel track to find and encourage people to take action against Trump at the very same time he was kept vulnerable by Biden's regime.
We know this happens, because the FBI did it with Gretchen Whitmer: it recruited and urged disturbed individuals to buy weapons and put together a plan to kidnap her. In that case, the FBI wanted a story it could use to slime right-wingers. So it created the story itself.
What happens when an agency like that, or maybe even another three-letter agency, decides instead that it's had enough of Trump? Some former FBI employees might even call it an "insurance policy."
So who was the shooter talking to in the hours, days, and weeks ahead of the event? Who was he meeting with? Did anyone suggest or nudge or urge him to go to the Trump rally in Butler? Did anyone suggest or point out to him the building he eventually used? Was he told at any time to not worry about security?
The FBI told us almost immediately that while it couldn't open the assassin's phone, it knew he acted alone. That's kind of strange, when you think about it. They told us almost immediately that they identified him by DNA, despite him having no criminal record. They also said they found explosives in his car. Why didn't they just identify him by his plates or registration or next of kin identification? That's pretty weird, too.
At some point you just have to say enough with the lies. We saw what they did with the Russia hoax. We saw the Kavanaugh hoax. We saw the COVID origin hoax. We saw the Ukraine hoax, the stolen election, the J6 op, and then the armed Mar-a-Lago raid and the myriad illegal cases against Trump.
They called him Hitler. They said he was an existential threat. They said he would destroy democracy. They said he was the most dangerous person on earth.
Then the denied him security. The kept the rooftop open. They watched the shooter and did nothing. They kept Trump on that stage. And they didn't do a damn thing until after he had been shot in the head.
And we're all supposed to believe it was just an innocent oopsie?
I think Sean Davis hasn't quite come to grips with the even-more-horrifying theory that explains this: That DEI and leftist subversion has so polluted and poisoned our most vital institutions that this is now the Secret Service working at their peak possible performance.
But I'm posting his theory anyway. I want the Secret Service to know that if they have another "oopsie," or continue sending more snipers to protect Jill Biden at a small indoor event than to protect the Once and Future President at an outdoor event, murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges are in the offing, and reasonable people like me will vote to convict you of murder even if what we really believe you're guilty of is gross negligence and woke incompetence.
At the very least, we will demand everyone involved be impeached and have all of their pension payments cancelled and zeroed out.
A friend writes that the leftwinger Girlboss's political biases contributed to the failure, on a subliminal level:
Again these people legitimately believe that only the right is a threat, or ever dangerous.
The idea that Trump would be targeted was probably both desirable to them in a sense and in other ways utterly inconceivable. The Left has no problem holding competing ideas at the same time.
Educated Hillbilly has some thoughts:
EducatedHillbilly
@RobProvinceNo... 125 meters is not a long shot. If you're going to be a shooter that's a free throw. Yes I'm aware a lot of gun owners couldn't hit a 4" plate with 4 tries but I don't care my point stands.
Yes the secret service looked like shit on a stick. Sure they worked hard to get hired. Sure they try. Sure they passed all the tests. Still had a massive failure and looked like hot butter shit and I'm ashamed we as a country look like THAT at a critical moment. And I'm going to rail them harder than Ginger Lynn for that embarrassment of a shit show. And I'm not going to pretend better, bigger more physically qualified people were probably not offered the job for "reasons".
I have eyes.
We are for damn lucky a 20 year old used a garbage rod and choked on mom's spaghetti because the chick in charge of the SS sucks and put the C-team on the biggest target in political history. Only to have body positive diversity hire DUCK OUT OF THE GOD DAMN WAY at the critical moment and then couldn't holster her gun through her fat roll!!! And I'm supposed to be proud of this? I'm supposed to think this was a good and professional operation? This was well planned and organized by the one chick who's one job it is to make sure this doesn't happen?
That's what I'm to accept? That's where we are? That THIS is the best we can do? The best we have? The best protection we can give to the one guy the world all knows is the biggest target in 2024 in politics?And the after action report we just got was fucking mission accomplished? Really? Everybody in charge just slaps each other on the back, says "good job" and we go back to hoping the next guy uses a Century Arms CETME???
We all make fun of the fat bubbas who can't get to their holster through their gut and thinks he's going to be a super soldier in CW2 The Electric Boogaloo, but I'm supposed to not notice the chicks fupa is maybe an issue in doing her duty as a god damn Secret Service agent?!?
More at the link. Educated Hillbilly also notices that Trump's handpicked prosecutor Jack Smith has men guarding him, not "fat middle aged women" like Kim Cheatle assigned to the Trump detail:
Notice he doesn�t have any short fat middle aged woman guarding him. https://t.co/hOdmc79Ffk

Kim Cheatle is refusing to resign -- of course. Leftwing girlbosses have no shame, nor any sense of what excellence or merit is. Resigning in shame is for Republicans only.
Her boss, DHS Secretary Mayorkas, who has repeatedly perjured himself insisting that "the border is secure," says he has 100% confidence in Cheatle and her Fox Force Five of chubby, clumsy short women.
What would have to happen for this guy to lose confidence? https://t.co/fsxtxNfkk6

On the third hand:
If you wanted to orchestrate conspiracies, staffing everything with incompetents would (a) ensure that no one was around who has the savvy to detect your machinations; (b) and provide a plausible alternative to intentional misdeeds, namely, incompetence.

If you want a system to fail without obvious, deliberate action leading back to you, you place errors into the system that will eventually lead to failure. That way you can claim incompetence of others as an excuse, blame your opponents, and insist that you're the only one that can fix the problem.

When you can't meet the bare minimum qualifications of the job then the men around you will always have to pick up the slack. And you'll be paid the same until your promotion over the men.

I've taught literally hundreds of women over the years, probably more women than men if I looked up the numbers, in both Basic Pistol and Defensive Pistol classes. Secret Service Barbie couldn't complete a basic task that any one of my students has to be moderately proficient at after only one day of instruction in order to pass a basic class. I'd bet folding money that half of the DEI Debbies in USSS and every other law enforcement agency not only never have to requalify, but were "exempted" from ever qualifying in the first place.

So we have a federal agency created to protect Presidents from foreign powers assassinating them, but they outsource protection after 100 yards to some local rural police department?
We could get rid of every federal agency tomorrow and nobody would notice.
Posted by: Blago at July 16, 2024 03:36 PM (wMRY8)
I used to work in military intelligence. My take on the Trump assassination attempt today:
The guilty parties are definitely (1) the counter-sniper(s) and spotter(s) assigned to cover these specific rooftops and (2) the team leader responsible for all event pre-planning and assigning lines of sight
There is a 0% chance that a standard sniper-spotter team tasked with covering such a critical direct LOS rooftop did not spot a man crawling for over two minutes on an exposed rooftop with a rifle. The shooter's approach was amateurish; it wouldn't even pass basic training. He was fully exposed, easily visible to the public, on a critical rooftop, and extremely slow
Drone surveillance is also standard procedure. Added to this, you have members of the public pointing out the shooter. The only reason not to spot this shooter is that it was willfully ignored by the assigned counter-sniper/spotter, or a portion of the total area to be covered was deliberately excluded by the event team leader, or sniper/spotters were misdirected

Posted by: gKWVE at July 16, 2024 03:36 PM (gKWVE)
Wilful allowance is much more likely. From the video footage and the audible gunfire, it also appears that the designated counter-sniper had the shooter in his LOS but specifically waited until the first few shots were fired before neutralizing him. It was sheer luck that the shooter missed. Civilian incompetence is always the risk when passive facilitation is chosen
TLDR: The shooter was allowed to do it. Inside job

I don't know about the conclusion.

I was the Sniper Employment Officer for my battalion and led hundreds of combat missions. There were major security lapses in the security plan that allowed a shooter to engage President Trump from ~130 meters - an easy shot. A 🧵
How can the dude at a cookout spot the shooter before the detail?!? The far rooftop is an obvious firing position. Local police should have been deployed to secure it. Additionally, drones should have been monitoring.
There is a sniper team scanning the rooftop for threats. But, the team only has long guns. You generally want a security element co-located with assault rifles that can engage much faster - especially within 300 meters. They couldn’t engage fast enough.
They neutralized the target. But not before he wounded President Trump, killed an innocent civilian, and seriously wounded two more. Good shooting. But gross failures in the plan meant they were too slow to detect the threat. Mission failure.

I want the Secret Service to know that if they have another "oopsie," or continue sending more snipers to protect Jill Biden at a small indoor event than to protect the Once and Future President at an outdoor event, murder and conspiracy to commit murder charges are in the offing, and reasonable people like me will vote to convict you of murder even if what we really believe you're guilty of is gross negligence and woke incompetence.

Think about the fact that for 60 f'ing years since Kennedy, all the media and the government have ever reported was that 100% of all political violence comes from the Right.
And that the Left never, ever retaliates.
It's literally impossible to know of leftist political violence.
"Mostly peaceful protests"
In that stew of lies, it makes no sense whatsoever that anyone (but a conservative) would attack Trump.
Thus, it was staged.

I don't think that 26 minutes is true.
I believe it was less than 3 minutes from the citizens first trying to alert security to shots fired.
Still, way too long for Trump not being removed from the stage immediately upon report of an "unknown" on the roof, which should be their first priority before doing anything else.

Photogs do this at every major event. They shoot video constantly at very high frame rates so the individual frames of the video aren't blurred by motion and can stand on their own as still shots.

1) Secret Service head insisted upon by Jill Biden
2) Jill Biden gives a talk the same day - Secret Service diverted to her event from Trump's. Supposedly others are taking time off because they are "exhausted" (does anybody really buy that?)
3) So Trump's detail is compromised - less then 5 from the usual detail are there.
4) Shooter is Antifa - the militant arm of the Dem party.
5) Shooter is spotted - at the most obvious sniper perch possible - and reported, but the security detail does nothing.
6) Apparently, counter-snipers wouldn't fire until after the sniper shot first. A recipe for getting your protectee dead.
So how is this not the Dem establishment attempting to assassinate Trump - not just some unbalanced youth?

Where does a dishwasher at a nursing home get the cash for that? Using a rangefinder properly requires time and experience to use it effectively. He could dope wind speed from the flag, a rangefinder for exact distance. He's a trained operator.
I watched an interview of one of the assassin's high school classmates. The classmate said that the assassin was constantly bullied at school, and I thought while hearing that, that being bullied in high school would make that kid a prime candidate for recruitment by not nice people.

I was a news photographer in the days of yore (film), and digital would have been so great. I only ever covered one almost-Prezzy event (candidate Clinton at a fair in 1992) and that took 8 or 10 rolls of film. With digital, just set it to "continuous" and pretty much keep the hammer down the whole time. It's the same reason why wedding photographers have largely ceased to exist for regular-income folks. Cousin Bubba can take 15000 pics with his digital camera, and he's bound to get some good ones.

You can certainly shape them. Anyways, you know what's up? I guarantee Trump threw, or will throw, one hell of a bash for his core team while quietly asking everyone to write up the whole event from start to end.

Clearly she thought the building worked according to Fortnite rules. Get a sniper position in the building. Sense a shooter on the roof above you? Just bust the roof, knock them down into your space, and shoot them dead! Problem solved.
She should have done the rally's battle royale mode in build mode, she could have built platforms on top of the sloped roof. Another problem solved.
(That does give me a thought...has anyone used Minecraft or Fortnite creative modes to recreate the rally scene yet? It sounds macabre. But there's a really good D-Day recreation game in Fortnite. It's been done before.)

Photogs do this at every major event. They shoot video constantly at very high frame rates so the individual frames of the video aren't blurred by motion and can stand on their own as still shots. That's how most still pictures are shot. They aren't "oh here's a good shot, let me take it [snaps pic]." They are culled from rapid-fire video.

-Trump had temporary USSS agents for the PA rally
-would normally have 3 sniper teams but only had 1
-sniper team only had 1 day to prep (usually need multiple)
-more USSS resources were diverted to Jill Biden

A Hot Tip that I need to follow myself beginning today -
ALWAYS carry a LOUD survival whistle on you and one in your vehicles. If one or more of the persons at the rally who spotted the scumbag had blown survival whistles it may have gotten more and faster attention than yelling at cops nearby.
May have made the counter-sniper teams and the SS team on-stage ask WTF? Might have awakened the armed sniper team sitting in comfort directly below the scumbag.
Also good for emergencies in parking lots and on streets, and in and outside around your home if you suffer a bad accident and cell phone is out of reach. Get plastic ones - metal may burn or freeze to your lips.

They want Trump dead. There's no way around it, and they would have been perfectly willing to take the flak from the security lapses as long as it worked.
They framed him, spied on him, harassed him, impeached him, rigged an election, impeached him again, and then within three days of his reelection announcement in 2022: Jack Smith was appointed, Colangelo resigned DOJ to go work for Bragg, and Nathan Wade was in the White House.
Lawfare didn't work, the Biden "sharp as a tack" hoax fell apart, and this was the last option to take him out before he could name a successor.

She should be fired for "stupidest excuse of the twenty first century" If the dead shooter's body slid off the roof after being shot you might be able to make that argument.
Also, if you are so scared of putting someone on the roof, couldn't you secure it by placing a few agents on the ground around it to make sure someone who isn't frightened by a one degree slope doesn't climb to the roof.

My educated guess is after the recent Supreme Court decision to split the baby and they decided that there are 'Official Acts' a President can make and have immunity and there are less then official acts with no immunity, that no one had the balls to tell Dementia Joe he had to watch what he said. Nope. Nobody told him so he went ahead with the 'bullseye' comment that got Trump shot within five days. If I were Trumps legal team I would be preparing the greatest lawsuit ever, the best, you'll get tired of reading how good this lawsuit is.

Unbelievable. Secret Service director Kimberly Cheatle now admits that the USSS knew the building 125 yards from President Trump was a huge vulnerability, but didn't station an agent there because it had a "sloped roof."
"That building in particular has a sloped roof at its highest point. And so, you know, there's a safety factor that would be considered there that we wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof. And so, you know, the decision was made to secure the building, from inside."
This is "safetyism" run amok at its absolute worst.
Cheatle shouldn't be trusted with protecting the food court of a shopping mall, let alone the US president. She should resign or be fired IMMEDIATELY."
>Repeating what I wrote multiple times earlier today -
The counter-sniper teams behind the stage - put there by the SS - were on roofs with a greater slope than the scumbag's roof! POOF goes that excuse, Kim.
The temperature on the metal roofs the SS counter sniper teams were on behind the stage and the scumbag's roof had to be the same temperature or within a few degrees F, after all afternoon on a sunny day! POOF goes the 'roof was too hot' excuse by the Sheriff.

George responds that "you (Biden) have had months to challenge him". Biden says he's been busy. But my question would have been "What New Challenge is about to come Trump's way?"
Blowhard Biden brags about getting the Ukraine prosecutor fired, or when asked about the bribes he "jokes" "Where's the Money?" ... he just can't help himself, feels untouchable, and has been to date.
If there was some physical challenge coming to Trump (like an assassination), doubtful they would tell dementia Joe I guess. But the "Stand Down" concept sure has been useful to the left ... on prosecuting Hillary, or Biden, or Antifa, etc. Stand Down on security for Trump is also in play. Wonder if we ever find out what meds Crooks was on, and what contacts he had in the weeks prior. Or have they already bleach bit and hammered that phone?

I assume he thought Trump may have some kind of body armor on, so he wanted a headshot. As we saw, just a couple of inches can make a BIG difference with headshots, so he may have wanted to be sure.
I've done a decent amount of competitive shooting with the military using iron sights, and the change in point of impact between 100, 200 and 300 yards is enough that, for a headshot, you'd want to know the distance as closely as possible, and adjust accordingly

Something the left *spit* and the NeverTrumpers have been saying is we don't know the shooter's motives so it's not reasonable to say the violent leftwing rhetoric regarding Trump is a proximate cause of the attempted assassination.
Let's just take that for granted for just a moment.
See, the thing is it's not only that leftist rhetoric might encourage someone losing their freakin' mind and trying to do what that little asshole tried to do. It's that leftist rhetoric is likely to encourage, for example, the Secret Service and others doing a half-assed job of protecting the man they're supposed to protect. "Does Trump need so much security? Yeah, what are the odds of someone really trying to commit murder at this event? And anyway it's just Trump, right? Fuck that guy! Orange Hitler fascist motherfucker."
While the motives of the assassin might be difficult to know at the moment, I'd say the motives for USSS ineptitude are much more readily knowable.

disagree! the left doesn't admit error, ever. Furthermore, if this DEI Girlboss falls, that endangers all the other DEI hires throughout government.
They are going to just force us to accept that DEI means a much lesser standard of service, and make us agree to accept incompetence as racial/gender "justice"

Ace,
You could be right. But the Secret Service has just opened themselves up to one hell of a civil rights lawsuit. The incompetence is wide open - the hiring done solely on sex reason, not merit. If I was an aspiring Secret Service Agent who didn't get hired, find an attorney and file the lawsuit. The gov is not immune to civil rights lawsuits. I think Justice Thomas would be very interested in using this one to drive the final stake through DEI - Affirmative Action Plans.

That is, quite probably the most effing stupid take on the ruling, and being promoted by the usual imbeciles.
The President is granted immunity from prosecution while properly executing his tasks as Chief Executive of the Executive Branch and Commander in chief.
That could mean that Obama could not be prosecuted for approving a drone strike (remember this?) that killed an American citizen, while this person was part of an overseas (al Qaeda?) identified terrorist group, acting as Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces.
It does not mean that a President can do things in contravention of the US Criminal Code inside the United States. That is outside his purview as Chief Executive.

Investigators found a transmitter on the gunman’s lifeless body, CNN reported, citing an anonymous source.
Further examinations of Crooks’ vehicle revealed a receiver with wires connected to a metal box, possibly loaded with explosives, in the boot of his Hyundai Sudan.
I am guessing they meant Hyundai sedan. This says "possibly" loaded with explosives. I have heard it described as "rudimentary" but again this is the media. Afghan goatherders can make radio command detonated IEDs but then again they can literally get parts from the side of the road.

The cover-up fix is in. To my knowledge Mayorkas has still not named the head of the 'totally independent review." When in hell does that happen? How long will it take for all the team to be hired and begin actually reviewing and investigating? Are all buildings and the entire area of the Butler site still as they were nearly 72 hours ago? At this rate all the 'totally independent review' team will be able to do is review the FBI's investigation files, interview witnesses days or weeks after the event, and so on.
NTSB and NASA would have had independent investigation teams for an equivalent screw-up on the site by midnight Saturday.

Unless it's some weird Hudsucker Proxy-style setup, using the young shooter as a patsy—or like how the Death Eaters used Draco to get into Hogwarts to kill Dumbledore—I don't think the deep state would leave the whole master plan of killing Trump to some untrained loser with bad aim.
I love conspiracy theories, and it's been fun to see all the speculation. But the Secret Service being full of incompetents, and some dumb lone zealot taking advantage of their incompetence, makes more sense.
Though with all the stuff about the deep state and the dems taking out JFK, you never know...

Consider the converse argument for a moment.
The first time (this year) an assassin wanders into a Trump rally he picks the one building security had allowed to be free. And this lucky guy manages to crawl into position without anyone doing anything in time and...take a shot. Really? The only "completely independent" assassin and he just gets insanely lucky at each step...

1000th of a second shutter speed was common even in the days of 35mm film cameras My Minolta SRT 100 had it, and I used it quite often. Especially in bright sun. Not uncommon at all. And that was back in the 70's. My digital SLR has even faster "shutter" speeds.

Secondly, the day before he went to the range and then went to the hardware store to buy a ladder and ammo. So he already knew he needed a ladder. Had he scouted the shooting location prior to this? Or had someone told him he would need a ladder?

Let me lay out a potential scenario...
On the one side you have the person that leads that particular site - he/she (not sure if it is Cheatle) just...makes sure to leave a location open at each site. If caught you just claim...THAT roof was too sloped or whatever.
On the other side you have the people who deal with the known wolves. The guy who leads the effort in the particular locale Trump is coming to hits the locale forums once the rally it planned. He starts engaging with people talking about taking direct action and...spin them up. If this Armand or whoever was he actually questioned he'd just claim he was getting the confidence of these people...like those feds did with the fake Whitmer kidnapping...
Neither resource has direct knowledge of what the other is doing and so they have perfect deniability.

Probably Mayorkas, her boss. He does not want the border closed, he wants a massive foreign proletariat.
Anyway, nobody could have expected the truth: We decided to take him out, and most NTs don't have drones.
So we found a weird, lonely, loner to be our patsy. Then we wreaked havoc with security that day, left an open line of vision from a slightly sloped roof, and decided to put our best counter sniper in a tree where he could do a lot of not-so-counter stuff, and then kill the patsy. The patsy was white, weird, and worked as a dietary aid, so it was easy to"befriend him". He didn't like Pet Clark, but then we didn't have to drug the fuck outta him and put him in his RV.

The Ex, in a deluded moment of thinking our marriage could be rekindled, later told me she got one of Hartley's Oral Surgery videos.
I admit, lady knows her stuff.
Did not save our marriage but it's not like Nina Hartley is Mother Theresa.

There was a seldom mentioned 3rd "assassination" event with Gerald Ford, he was in a motorcade in Missouri and a rifle was seen aiming through an upstairs window at the route, motorcade stopped, agents swarmed the building ran up the stairs, kicked in the door and found...a 14yo Boy trying to watch the president pass by through his daddy's rifle scope.

Those cars were brand new, and empty. There are grimmer signs of dystopia, but that was a bad one.

Ginger Lynn had the 'girl next door' look. That's what made her so popular. Or so I've been told. By friends.

This was upon her RETURN to the agency, she had stepped away to pepsico the year before after being in charge of all recruitment , training and SS educational programs. The system SHE had previously implemented resulted in that 48% departure rate.

SS downsizing guard detail.
Third subs put in SS place.
Flat roof* deemed 'too steep'.
Sounds like The Blob was trying to set the stage for success.
*gotta check codes but that roof slope is so shallow it may catagorized as a flat roof under typical building codes.

Notice also that the chubby one was photographed ducking BEHIND Trump when the bullets started flying....
Yes, of course it was a Deep State hit. All this DEI crap is just a distraction.

You got problem with rooftop slope?
Posted by: Rooftop Korean at July 16, 2024 03:29 PM (f4l+T)
Well at least the SS Director didn't offer the explanation that "slope" is racist. So she has that going for her. Which is good.

The fact is that our elites have long since figured out that having a crises every now and again is a great way for them to consolidate and centralize power over the rest of us. If you think that this just happened you're indulging in a dangerous and willful naivete.

At the very least, we will demand everyone involved be impeached and have all of their pension payments cancelled and zeroed out.

If Cheeto lady is making excuses then it sounds like the former, and this screams to me that the USSS agent in charge on site was a diversity hire of some sort if she is ass covering for them.

I have a Century Arms CETME, with the correct bayonet btw. It would have made that shot easily. Easier than a 5.56.
