Isn't that like praising a firefighting squad after it puts out a fire it accidentally started?
Sorta kinda.
“Isn’t that like praising a firefighting squad after it puts out a fire it accidentally started?”
totally ... either a monumental failure by an incompetent and corrupt secret service OR a deliberate conspiracy ... given the totality of the video and audio evidence, conspiracy looks to me more likely than incompetence ...
Absolutely right. The Secret Service is the epitome of a “You had ONE job” profession. There’s no such thing as “good enough”, and they don’t get partial credit. It’s strictly Pass-Fail, and they FAILED yesterday. If anyone is able to mount a real threat to the safety of their protectee, they have failed, period, regardless of the outcome.
If not for absolute divine providence Trump would have been killed, and the Secret Service had NOTHING to do with the very fortunate outcome. That DEI SS director has to go immediately and there must be a real independent investigation, including figurative proctology exams for every individual involved in the failure to ensure there was no insider plot.
