A new poll out Thursday found an overwhelming majority of Americans say the Secret Service bears some responsibility for the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump last month.
According to the Associated Press survey, 7 in 10 Americans believe “the Secret Service bears at least a moderate amount of responsibility for the assassination attempt” with 4 in 10 believing the agency “bears a high level of responsibility.”

What difference at this point does it make?
Bear some responsibility?
Ummm, they bear all of the responsibility.
IMO, there are three ways to view this:
- DEI aided incompetence
- deliberate benign neglect of best security practices
- an outright assassination plot with government involvement.
The powers that be would have us believe in choice #1, and that they'll do a better job going forward.
Personally, I'm somewhere between choice 1 and 2 at the moment, given what I've read, and allowing for the distortion and promotion of different narratives. #3 is not out of the question, but I doubt it happened here... Crooks was too unstable and unprofessional to trust with the job.
O’Bammie’s “Seventeen Intelligence Communities” that hate President Trump appear to be falling apart. My question is, “Do we really need them anymore?” We’ve stopped fighting crime, we’ve allowed those wanting to destroy America to illegally enter the country and we’re paying them to do it, we no longer have anyone wanting to defend America and its secrets. Really folks, what is it these clowns are doing for the country other than putting people who still love this country in jail for their communist massahs in the District of Corruption.
The thing of it is ..honest people know that there is always room for improvement.
They realize they can always do something better
Which suggest..since they act like they’ve done nothing wrong... they are not being honest or worse ..covering something up.
And if there is nothing to cover up why are they covering something up?
They had people in on the attempted assassination, of this, I am positive.
Yo, Secret Service, you suck. Couldn’t find the assassin 130 yards away after the crowd pointed him out numerous times. And you couldn’t take out the shooter after having your own sniper team point directly at him for three minutes. Yeah, you suck.
All the 3 letter agency’s were in on it. And the old guys....John Brennan.
The turd rollers in the DNC’s “National Media” can blame the Trump-hating teleprompter sect but Americans know who is really trying to take President Trump out. Jamaican “refugee” bishes.
Some Deep State elements went rogue, and tried to kill Trump. They failed. The SS had to be in on it. If it was just incompetence, then their entire DEI structure would have had to come down, even if they had succeeded.
Those 17 agencies Ned to be reduced to 3. Foreign, domestic and military. Period.
COUP PLOT!

The U.S. intelligence budget has two major components: the National Intelligence Program and the Military Intelligence Program. The National Intelligence Program includes all programs, projects and activities of the intelligence community as well as any other intelligence community programs designated jointly by the DNI and the head of department or agency, or the DNI and the President.
The MIP is devoted to intelligence activity conducted by the military departments and agencies in the Department of Defense that support tactical U.S. military operations. In addition, other departments and agencies may engage in certain activities related to intelligence for their own mission needs that are not captured here.

Disclosure of Appropriated Funds
One of the recommendations of the 9/11 Commission was for the Intelligence Community to declassify its budget. This recommendation was enacted in 2007 by section 601 of the Implementing Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission Act (Public Law 110-53). This law established the requirement for the Director of National Intelligence to disclose the “aggregate amount of funds appropriated by Congress” for the NIP within 30 days of the end of the fiscal year.
Disclosure of Requested Funds
The National Intelligence Program budget request was first publicly disclosed in February 2011, pursuant to a requirement enacted by Congress in Section 364 of the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010. The Military Intelligence Program budget request was first released in February 2012.
Don’t forget the FBI!..
Regimes like this never end well. They scuttle the fleet before accepting our God given right to govern ourselves.
Q. What legislation funds the Intelligence Community?
A. the Intelligence Authorization Act
The House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence passed the Intelligence Authorization Act (IAA) for Fiscal Year 2025, which authorizes funding for the US Intelligence Community (IC). (Jun 12, 2024)
FR has reported a GREAT many issue polls favoring Trump, but all we read about is Republican personal attacks on Harris: she’s not black enough, she flunked the bar exam, she’s “stupid,” etc. This campaign will be won — or lost — on the issues.
The Secret Service is too busy protecting ITSELF to protect a former president hated by most federal employees.
They have PROVEN they don’t want him to be safe therefore President Trump cannot BE SAFE without his OWN personal armed protection !
Another failed government agency becomes universally hated by regular Americans. The USSS has an annual budget of $3 billion and cannot fulfill its primary duty because the top people in federal government DESPISE PRESIDENT TRUMP.
