Reminder: The Same Secret service whose sweeps and dogs managed to miss the January 6th Pipe Bomb

The same Secret Service agents who when informed of the pipe bomb stand around nonchalantly and allow a group of school children to walk by it

Is the Secret Service that somehow allowed a gunman to get on an unprotected roof 150 yards away from President Trump

Who runs the Secret Service?

The DHS---the tip of the spear when it comes to political weaponization of the Security State

I instinctively mistrust foreigners; sometimes I forget that Canadians aren't like us, but it's easy to be fooled because they speak English with almost no absurd accents like in the UK.

As usual, cops are afraid to act, i.e. do their jobs.

That would have to have been an amazing shutter speed to capture any bullet path. I call bullshit until further proof.

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" - Attributed to Henry II, just before his knights murdered Archbishop Thomas Becket in 1170. ...

Soon after the assassination, Becket was venerated as a martyr, and two years later he was made a “Saint”. His tomb became a shrine, and a cult was born. The Knights of Saint Thomas were part of those leading the ‘Christian’ Crusades in the Holy Land.

Five days ago a message was sent from the so-called leader of the free world to his people:

“I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye,” Biden said.

Yesterday, the 'bullseye' was missed, and the brains scattered across the floor belonged to a follower of Trump, not to Trump himself, who survived the assassination attempt with minor injuries, apparently stronger than ever.

If all the political elites don’t cool their rhetoric and measure their words carefully over the next few months, this situation is going to end very badly for everyone



That’s a real tweet, not some unhinged scrawl from a shooter’s manifesto. ...

According to many reports, the shooter’s building lay outside the official security perimeter. How the shooter knew where to go is anybody’s guess, and he’s not talking, and never will. There has been wild speculation about whether the Secret Service ‘failed’ to prevent the shooting. We don’t know yet, but it appears certain that Trump’s security detail was understaffed. Fox ran a story last night headlined, “Mayorkas denied 'repeated requests' for more Secret Service protection for Trump, GOP lawmaker says.”

Emerging from the cacophony of comments was this tweet, which perhaps best summarizes the political moment:




It’s very early. We must wait and see how things play out. But no matter what else last night’s shooting was —and it was many things— Trump’s muscular reaction was a defining moment, a new high water mark for the populist President, creating the clearest contrast between himself and enfeebled Joe Biden.
