The man who jumped the White House fence this month and sprinted through the front door made it much farther into the building than previously known, overpowering one Secret Service officer and running through much of the main floor, according to three people familiar with the incident.

An alarm box near the front entrance of the White House designed to alert guards to an intruder had been muted at what officers believed was a request of the usher’s office, said a Secret Service official who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

No joke. Please let him die of cancer or heart failure or some other natural cause in its own time.

Yep. When I was in the Navy, there were a few officers and senior enlisted that wouldn’t get pulled out of an engine room fire. Not many and it’s not normal to think like that but there were a few special a-holes that just treated everybody like garbage. Like a good friend of mine said, “If he’s drowning, I’ll throw him a cinder block.”

The Secret Service track record isn’t so hot..............

I can only imagine what has been encouraged to happen to the management and staff of the Secret Service over the last 6 years.

Zer0 always goes easy on fence-jumpers.

One thing I noticed from the source-link pictures: I think those chunkers have been eating too many Ding Dongs and Cheetos out of the White House vending machines. I’m betting a good fraction of them were doing that in the lunch room with a game going on the TV loud and radios too low to be heard.

The golf clubs are fine. They’re either on AF One or they’re being used on an out-of-town golf course. Speaking of golf: another game ruined. I’ll get a croquet set for next summer.

They lie about stuff they don’t even have to. It’s just the natural thing for them to do. Bonus: when they lie, they don’t even respect you enough to tell you a good one. They’ll just spout any crap that a 3rd grader can see through.

“They” would still deify him and blame ‘us’.

If he should die of ebola they would say it was because he loved his fellow man.

Ditto if he were to die from aids.

Of course that we would never know - unless one of the ‘fence jumpers’ were to have ‘raped’ him.

Either way, it is either Bush or the TEA Party’s fault.

Dogs aren’t too choosy about who they attack during a scrum. With 4 uniformed SS dudes and one intruder, there’s an 80% chance an SS dude gets bit. So, you don’t release the dog unless the intruder’s by himself. On the opposite side of the path the fence jumper was traveling, an SS uniform from the guard booth was running toward him.

I’d be running at high speed out of the white house and jumping the fence just to get AWAY from that administration!
