JUST IN: Secret Service was aware of the potential threat 10 minutes before Donald Trump took the stage in Pennsylvania but let him go out anyway. The revelation was made during a Senate briefing today. Sen. Marsha Blackburn says she was "appalled to learn 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."

Can you imagine... The USSS was overstretched to the point where they couldn't properly secure a perimeter and had to give the responsibility for this building to the law enforcements.

They were not overstretched. There is a serious DEI phenomenon that is corrupting things at DC.

The details will emerge in the hearings starting next monday (once RNC is over and house republicans start the hearings).

There will be a larger purge of DC starting 2025....after the fine tooth combing done this year....i.e whether the fine tooth comb produces some nature of inspecter-general office review+firing (within the S. Service) still remains to be seen.

If this lady doesnt resign, definitely the GOP need to ensure the hooman act (1 dollar salary) is at play till 2025.

But larger american public simply dont stand for this operating as is anymore.... american public dont want social-weakening (and institutional mistrust) and then civil war crap to brew to further degrees....all to suit some ivory tower miasma in coastal elitists and DC.

Just look at the DEI hire for secret service coming on MSM network and squawking already about "sloped roof" instead of waiting for the review process to start. This tells you all you need to know about the DC-MSM ivory tower blob that over-exerts to protect itself first thing....that has become hallmark of US DC bureaucrat blob drift, from the trough diet dems/lefties have pushed here first thing this long.

You cant just get rid of incompetence at the nominal figure head level (some prima donna general essentially, that DEI has now made a lot worse).

It needs to go 3 - 4 layers deep well into field officer and even company officer and NCO sometimes....depending on the rot thats been grown that such ranks are beholden to (the prima donna ivory tower stuff).

Accountability matters, not just nominal shoulder shrugging responsibility

Rank and file largely are where its still capable in most instances (regd for S. Service things like: courage, pressure handling, training, realised performance etc)...but that also needs to be reviewed thoroughly after new leadership above them put in to run this all through the checks then.

Oh, for sure! This system that you talk about managed to screw up so many things within these services and the law enforcement that a whole purge will be needed so they can come to the level they need to be at. If this whole fiasco gives a birth to the results I expect the USSS will only be one sector of the purge that is going to come.

Due to this case I saw a lot of opinions regarding the USSS and the law enforcements in general regarding how they hire their personnel, their policies, about their training, the people that are given a chance there and their opinions largely overlaps with your post.

I tried to analyze the tip of the iceberg with the information I managed to gather without getting too deep into the reasons for this epic fail, but I think you briefed it well.

This whole liberal shit spreading at so important places, I don't like. Putting politics aside for a moment and looking purely from a professional point of view with my limited knowledge on these issues makes me feel strange about their current capabilities and what I've been listening for all these years. It is obvious even for an ordinary person that things are going out of control. Even if we put the whole gender tolerance and gay shit aside for a moment, you can just look at the walking donuts in uniforms and you can grasp a bit about the state of affairs and the deeper you dig, the worst it gets. I mean, okay you want to hire even more women, non-binary people, gays, give the opportunity for a career, but man, you cripple everything you manage to touch. They play with fire and will get burned in the end, but the worst is we, the people on the other side of the world will get burned because of them too. Situations like these are only the visible symptoms. We can only imagine how deep rooted this incompetency is among these kind of services or any other institutions in the US.

Disclaimer: I stole this text.

Small overview:
  • Woman appointed head of SS
  • Vows top priority is diversity and aims %30 of SS to be female
  • Shooting starts and every female hides behind either Trump or fellow officers
  • When they eventually move off stage they kept their heads and shoulders down, continued to expose Trump
  • Were unable to forcibly move Trump or get him to the vehicle
  • One of them was able to unholster and reholster her weapon after several attempts. Which made her look cringe.
  • Overall looked terrified and dumbfounded, not in control of the situation.
Maybe having a bunch of terrified 5' tall pudgy women protecting the most important political figure in the world is a bad idea after all.

This DEI crap is a rot. A disease. It needs to be cleansed.

In the last month what has happened to affect the outcome of the presidential elections?

- disastrous Biden performance in debate with Trump
- some elected Democrat politicians call for Biden to be replaced as candidate
- Trump trial for taking secret documents dismissed
- Biden gaffes at NATO conference
- assassination attempt on Trump
- today Biden announces he has Covid

I would say that Biden is unelectable. If he wants the US to have a Democrat president he should immediately withdraw as their candidate. The chances of a different Democrat candidate being elected are better than his chances of being elected.

Most Americans do not want to have to choose between two old men for their next president. Replacing Biden with a younger man should improve the chances of the US getting a Democrat president.

If Trump wins, will the Republicans be able to fix these institutional problems? Just months ago they torpedoed the Border security bill to keep the issue hot for the election (and Trump) and to satisfy their bilateral vendetta. They are as much invested in petty culture war (and 'owing' libs) as the far-left if not more. The social conservatives you talked about previously, who are principled and serious, I don't see them in GOP. Either it is people like Trump who is nuts, or religious fundamentalist like Ted cruise and DeSantis who are on a whole another level.

But more importantly, as I said before, federal overreach and some institutional issues caused by agressive (?) Leftwing policies does not negate the problem with far-right threats to democracy and human rights. One glaring example is how they are interfering with women's fundamental rights by trying to ban abortion wherever they could.
