To wit: Do they A) fear us, and are just stupid fucking morons, or do they B) hold us in contempt, and are just flinging shit directly into our faces for the sheer fun of it? I report, you deride.
Secret Service director gives bizarre reason why an agent wasn’t on the roof where gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks opened fire on Trump as she rejects calls to resign
Embattled Secret Service head Kimberly Cheatle has revealed the fateful and bizarre reason why her agency failed to put an agent on the roof gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks used to carry out an assassination attempt on Donald Trump.Cheatle, who is facing calls to resign over the massive security failure, said Secret Service officials planning security for Trump’s rally in Butler, Pennsylvania considered the warehouse 147 yards away from where Trump spoke to be a risky position for stationing an agent.
“Too risky,” y’unnerstand, because of this fearsome *shudder* “slope” to the roof—a slope which bothered our youthful assassin not one iota, but apparently is simply too dangerous for a blubberous Girlboss to handle without placing her rolls of neck-flab at mortal hazard.
Yep, that’s awfully gosh darned scary alright; I’d hate to try skiiing it, that’s for sure and certain. In fact, I’d bet everyone reading this is gonna have bad dreams just from seeing a picture of it, and not just for a single night either.
Okay, okay, okay, here’s the real deal: I slid down WAY more “vicious” slopes sitting on a piece of cardboard shared betwixt the neighborhood kids when I was still in knee-britches. Laughing all the way HA-HA-HA too, as the old song says. Yet somehow or other we all survived, incredible as it may seem. Apparently, we were all made of much sterner stuff at 7 years old than any modern-day Girlboss SS agent. I dunno, make of it what you will.
Chilling new details have revealed that a team of local police snipers were inside the building when the 20-year-old Crooks opened fire, shot Trump in the ear and killed a member of the rally crowd.
INSIDE the building when, as Ace notes, their primary purpose and function is to be able to identify, engage, and eliminate threats at distance, not in the same fucking room with them. Nota very fucking bene also that 1) we for goddamned sure need ourselves a new SS director, 2) I am willing to work cheap, and 3) have just now established beyond all possible doubt I could do a much, MUCH better job of it than this Kim Choadle bimbette has.
Crooks managed to evade cops and Secret Service three times, even though he had been deemed ‘suspicious’ and could have been on the roof for up to 30 minutes before he pulled the trigger.
Witnesses also begged law enforcement to act when they saw him clamber onto the roof with his AR-style rifle, but the lapse in security meant he was able to carry out his bid to take the 45th president’s life.
“Evade,” is it? How sure of that ARE we, really?
Of course, Msrszxx Director Kimberly “Pronouns Undetermined” Cheatle doesn’t actually believe any of the intelligence-insulting flapdoodle she’s emitting, you know; fact is, she made it all up out of her own oblated head herself on the spur of the moment and (up)chucked it out purely for her own personal amusement, as indicated by her firm refusal to do the decent thing and resign her position in disgrace. SHE doesn’t believe it, her own overseers don’t, and not a one of them cares whether YOU do, obviously, nor if anybody else does. That tell you anything, p’raps possibly? Because if you ask me, it damned well ought to.
Back over to the AoSHQ post for the sad, sorry denouement.
No…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?!?
Excellent questions all, and extremely depressing ones to have to be asking ourselves as well.
Update! Further, and worserer, details.
I will ask this question again and again and again until I get an answer: who gave the order to ignore the shooter until after he fired on Trump?
These new details are jaw-dropping. Who at the Secret Service or DHS gave the order that allowed an assassin to shoot Trump?… pic.twitter.com/S7ZrR7hQMz

I repeat: stinks, all to hell and gone. Better be checking six continually, President Trump, sir—head on a swivel, total SA. Another urgent recommendation: consider private security, assuming you haven’t already hired some.
Updated update! Mission Improbable.
Scooped a bunch more related good ‘uns from WRSA tonight, which I’m saving up for tomorrow’s edition of Memezapoppin’!
Absolutely they tried to kill him.
This is just people trying to come with something besides “Yeah, we missed. We aren’t done yet”
This is the whole MO of this whole setup. Retreat into deniable “incompetence” so they can keep on doing their evil while hiding behind these bunch of boobs.
Half of this is probably outright lies, if not the whole thing.
Here’s what happened. The rooftop was left open and the FBI groomed and trained this loser to do this “for the good of the country. You’ll be taking out Hitler. literally” Probably promises him he would get away too.
Hey, he waltzed in so easily it probably seemed a cinch. Hey, they really are going to let me get away…
There are videos of. people with cell phones recording him in the roof and screaming ” there’s a guy with a gun up there!”. Why didn’t that spook him?
He’s walking around with a range finder and keeps returning to the building WITH THE ROOF UNCOVERED and a clear shot at the stage from 400 feet and NO ONE stops him?
They supposedly called it in and STILL no one did anything?
This is not simply incompetence providing a hole in security. EVERYONE HAD TO BE INCOMPETENT.
What surprises me is how, like WuFlu, so many commenters on Insty seem to buy into all of this and their BS detector isn’t pegged at 11 the more that gets revealed.
“Here’s what happened.”
Clearly, 100%. As for insty commenters, it’s pretty clear there are submorons and feds cluttering the place up.
Too much doesn’t add up. A hot, tin roof in mid July will fry bacon.
Good point. OTOH, clothing provides insulation.
Both. The only reason Trump survived an assassination to date is because they are afraid of the aftermath. They now fear Trump even more, thus the recent assassination attempt. They failed because of the fear. Rather than having an actual government killer take the kill shot, which would have worked, they used a groomed 20 year old mentally ill incompetent. They did this to try and make it the “lone wolf” killing to keep their part hidden. They failed, and they failed because of fear. But it was damn close, costing the president a piece of his ear.
As far as B) goes, they can fear us but still mock us. They mock us because they can and that’s what narcissists do. Near half the citizens in this country are just too damn stupid to even know they are being mocked, and 50% of the other half just can’t believe their government could possibly be involved in the murder of the president.
Apparently there was heavy short-selling of Truth Social stock in the days up to the assassination attempt:

More specifics on the shorting of Trump stock with funds named:
https://x.com/JoshWalkos/status/1813697562609623396
All this is based on one company and they claim they made a mistake and that the mistake was on a number of holdings not just truth social. The didn’t act upon it as best I can tell and revised their error when they found it.
True? Beats me. It would be glaringly obvious if they tried to profit from advance knowledge of a Trump assassination. And which way to bet?
I’ll discount this until there is something more significant.
Come on man. Imagine you’re a female Secret Cervix agent. Even though water can barely run off it, high heels on a 1/12 or 2/12 pitch roof is certain death!
🙂
If I were DJT id ditch the SS and hire my own crew,
but then again i think he has too much faith in people because i wouldnt hire anyone who had any connections to DC or any politician ever again after my first time around, it would be a private military security outfit known for erasing stuff
And my staff would all be outsiders personally shaken down and vetted
