What if the Secret Service got 37 calls every day from randos saying “I’m gonna kill the President at today’s event”?
Every day. Since 1973.
Every event.
Would you keep the President in a box and never let him out?
Or, would you deploy a threat assessment methodology, and conclude that the risk/reward mixture is such that the President should NOT be the Man in a Box?
Indeed, we all do the same thing every day. There is a risk we will die in a car crash, getting mugged, crossing the street, eating popcorn, and so on. We do a lightning-fast mental calculation and get behind the wheel, walk down the street, wait for the WALK sign, or put Orville Reddenbacher in the reactor.
Now, should the Secret Service be more competent than the Post Office or your local DMV? I’d hope so. But they’re not. We shouldn’t be surprised- we are talking about the public sector, and remember what Reagan said about the good people gravitating to the private sector.
My point, again, is some Senator blabbing on the internet that she got a briefing from the FBI and Secret Service and heard that a rando called in a threat, is hardly a Smoking Gun. She just revealed that she’s dim.
Now, maybe you think I’m wrong. Well, if that’s true and you think Blackburn told the world some Big Fact, then what really happened is the Senator just gave foreign enemies some nice juicy intel to help land a kill shot next time. Way to go Marsha you dope.
And their admitting it. Why yes we tried to kak the President.
How about criminal charges!!
i learned long ago that incompetent managers focus on the shite they know something about, whether it be details of uniforms, arranging staff luncheons, putting together and/or attending conferences, etc.
In the next 48 hours if someone in the Secret Service chain of command dies of any cause you know this was planned with SS involvement at the top. There appears to be too much of an oder of mendacity for so many critically easy things to prevent go wrong at the same time to be coincidental. The SS saying the Police were there to secure the permitter outside 150 yards and the Police stating they were only there for traffic control. This investigation needs to be from the outside and quick and intense.
Yes. They failed.
On purpose, perhaps?
They could have had two agents flanking Crooks, and saying “Hi. How ya doin’? Kinda hot, isn’t it?” and closing in. Crooks might still have been alive and in the nut house where he belonged, and Trump might not have gotten his ear pierced, and the Deep State might not have been in a panic over a fist pump.
One of the CREEPIEST, SLIMIEST PERSONS has emerged in the body of Cheatle.
Exactly what SPOOKEY gathering of individuals produced her??
If she is not capable of evil, I’ll eat my bonnet.
I hope we don’t fall for “I CAN’T ANSWER BECAUE IT’S AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION” BS THAT WRAY USUALLY PULLS.
GOD, I can’t wait for November 5.
Its an inside job jim
The Deep State is not done yet. There will be monthly attempts on Trump’s life from every vector. If he gets elected, it will be daily.
“the Deep State might not have been in a panic over a fist pump”

Well said.
They know that the DS gravy train is about to get derailed.
I know Christians who think Trump is awful. I. Do. Not. Get. It. I was wondering if I was personally missing something. Nope. THEY have been blinded.
They DID say the person in charge of the roof the kid was on did not show up for work that day. Or some such nonsense.
Yeah I saw that. Expect to hear more about vacation and sick leave...
They are so predictable.
Did you see Blackburn deriding Cheatle at the RNC?
Yes. I posted a vid clip tweet, minutes after it happened ... on the LIVE RNC convention thread.
I LOVE that verse. It was one of those I had read many times, but the meaning suddenly hit me. (Sometimes changing translations does that)
Yes. Me, too.
I agree. The meaning is pretty unclear in the KJV. I posted from the NIV.
