By now, we shouldn't be surprised by the incompetence of the Biden administration. People are put in charge based on gender, race, and who they sleep with.The core mission of the secret service is protected their person. It is not handed over to any local agency. Secret Service will come in at least a week before. They will do multi sweeps, going over the route and check bridges, culverts, waterways, and potential sniper areas. Anybody that has made threats could be questioned or even locked up until after the event. Local law enforcement is used primarily for traffic, cars and pedestrians. What happened was bad enough but what the director has said afterwards should have got her fired. Now the agents guarding Trump should have been irate because they could have been easily killed. But they should have never stood Trump up, should have rolled him off the back of the stage. How did they know there wasn't a second shooter?

Trump did not have his lifts (shoes to make you look taller) on, do he was not 6 foot 3 when being shuffled off stage.

The only way we know Joe Biden and the Democrats were behind the attempt is because it failed

ABC is reporting Crooks was id'd as a suspicious person 62 minutes before shots were fired. It just keeps getting worse for the Secret Service.

What a meathead response, throws a tantrum when its brain is overwhelmed.

It's well known that DHS has hired an army of online trolls to mislead and disrupt conversations. You fit the bill perfectly

That is incredibly lazy thinking.

They said the policeman was standing on the shoulder of another policeman and went his head went above the roofline, the shooter saw him and pointed his gun. He then fell to the ground. That was the story.....! But a total failure of the Biden administration.

You really believe that any officer of the law, and not just one of them, but all of them, is going to see a gunman at a trump rally and listen to the alleged "stand down" order?

Who is to blame? The SS is under the DHS so both traitorous bosses surely are, as well as whomever in the current lawless regime that ordered the stand-down and the many people "just following orders." They set it all up and thankfully their patsy that will never tell any more tales failed. Or we can all believe that the roof was too steep.

If one of them truly peeked on the roof and scrambled away when gun was pointed at him, I'm not sure thats "all they could do."

Remember the heat the Uvalde guy got for not running into the danger?

I think all law enforcement on site did everything that they could, especially the local law enforcement," Butler County Sheriff Michael Slupe told the AP on Monday. "I hope they're not made a scapegoat, because they did their job to the best of their abilities."

Joe Biden and his team that he never meets with is responsible.


That stupid woman over secret service wants more women. That little 5'4" lady agent was not protecting Trump's head. Totally ridiculous. But why should we surprised. His administration has been nothing but a failure at everything they have attempted to do. Their whole party looks like a bunch on immature high school kids trying to set up an election for class president. Now they are wanting to postpone their convention. Just hilarious.

Looks like this was the first contact with the shooter and he still got shots off.


After the gunman made it to the roof of the one-story warehouse, a local officer was hoisted by another officer up the building's wall and over the parapet, only to lock eyes on the gunman, Sheriff Michael T. Slupe of Butler County and a federal law enforcement official said.
