JMWATS 337 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 (edited) There are a lot of good questions being asked and not a lot of good answers are being provided. One thing I have learned is never to assume ill intent on the part of an individual or organization where incompetence runs rampant.

I_M4_AU 9,162 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I just got off a briefing with the Secret Service and FBI. I am appalled to learn that the Secret Service knew about a threat prior to President Trump walking on stage. I have no confidence in the leadership of Director Cheatle and believe it is in the best interest of our nation if she steps down from her position. Unbelievable. Why have him on stage if they knew it was a threat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want to talk about retention of employees in an administration, perhaps we should discuss why Trump's VP, Secretary of Defense, and others say he is unfit for office. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfit and should not run are not the same. Even so, I am not sure what the difference really makes? We have known for a very long time that we will be forced to choose between a man that needs to retire and a man that showed us for 4 years why he shouldn't be President. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There has been a lot of random guy/gals reporting on this. It doesn’t make it true. Same with the random guys/gals reporting Joe is stepping down by Sunday. Time will tell.

I hear we now have a choice between a woman who needs to learn how to speak in public and here because she was Willy Brown's side piece and a man that showed us for 4 years why he shouldn't be President.

Crooks came back, sat down and looked at his phone. At that point, one of the snipers took a picture of him. Crooks took out a rangefinder and the sniper radioed to the command post. Crooks disappeared again and then came back a third time with a backpack. The snipers called in with information that he had a backpack and said he was walking towards the back of the building. It gets worse. So now it comes out that there were also LEO snipers on the 2nd floor of the building right next to the one the attempted assassin used. Witnesses made video statements that they saw them several times in the 2 windows. That would have put them approximately 40 feet from the would be assassin. Of course we all saw the snipers over by the stage who had the assassin in their sights. The question is too obvious and it's one of hundreds of others. Why didn't either set of sniper teams take the shot BEFORE the assassin fired his weapon ? Edited July 21 by IronMan70 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLAG-91 1,629 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 (edited) Bumping this since today is Cheatle's day to appear before Congress in what should be her final day as USSS director (it probably won't be, but it should...actually should have done the proper thing and resigned about 8 days ago). Some highlights from the hearing so far. AOC gets a lot of ridicule, but she was asking the right questions today, as was Ro Khanna. There were some that dove straight into the "guns r bad, mmkay?" routine (Tlaib, Raskin), but overall they've gotten after Cheatle pretty good, which they absolutely should have. This was the biggest Secret Service failure in decades.

Cardin Drake 2,091 Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 Unbelievable stonewalling. The funniest moment was when she enraged a democrat lawmaker who was trying to make the hearing an anti-gun crusade. He kept asking her if the widespread availability of AR-15's made her job easier or harder. She wouldn't make the layup and kept not answering the question. He must have asked it six or eight times in a row getting madder and madder that she wouldn't give him a straight answer. I turned it off after that. It was clear she wasn't going to answer any question that was asked. Infuriating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
